It's Just as Important to
Get Water Off the Land
BY H. L. DUSENBERRY

words, alfalfa and pasture require
from 40 to so inches per season for
maximum yields. This is equivalent
10 40 to SO inches of rainfall. On the
other hand, potatoes and seed peas
require around 20 inches of water.
Other crops mentioned r in be-
tween, as indicated above.
Since it is of little benefit to try
10 store water in more than the top
) feet of soil, 6 inches should be
about the maximum applied at one
time. A stream of water that will

in 2A hours. In other words, an ir-
rigator with this size of stream
should cover about 5 acres every IL
hours. If this is not accomplished,
water is probably being wasted.
Wasted Water; Wasted Land
Whenever water is wasted, it is
a potential hazard to land. 1t may
not be on the farm where the ir-
rigation is going on, o. the neigh
boris place. In some of the
state the hazard is serious, while in
other areas this condition may be
considered beneficial by some
operators.
The benefits can be questioned,
however, because underground
water cannot be controlled and
sometimes comes up when it is not
wanted. There is no way to shut it
off. Return flow to streams, how
ever, does provide water in many
areas that might otherwise be short.
More often than not wasted water
results in wasted land.
To illustrate how over irrigation
causes water logging, the history of
a project in Montana provides a
good example. This particular prof.
ect obtains water from one of the
larger rivers in the state. The canal
was originally constructed with the
intake low enough to get plenty of
water when the river was high.
When the river went down, water
was short. Crops had to be grown
that could stand water shortages, in
other words, mostly hay and grain.
Water was used sparingly in order
to cover as much ground as possible.
At times the water shortage was
acute and crops suffered. For this
reason, a concrete slab was installed
on the river bed to hold the water
level up to the head gate. After
this everyone had all the water he
wanted. The canal ran bank full
throughout the irrigation season
Everyone was happy for a few years
Then some of the land began tx

table began to rise in spots and some
areas became saline. AS the year.

for many years been plagued with
various kinds of pests and hazards
which are not of their own making
and which are hard to prevent. One
hazard which is rather serious TO
crop and forage production is water
logging of good farm lands. This is
largely a man-made condition, and
IN many cases prevention is more
practical than cure.
First, let US analyze some of the
causes. Excess water in the soil is
the initial cause. 1t may come from
too much water on the surface. or
from underground water which may
rise to or near the surface. because
of an impervious subsurface layer
of soil. If surface water is causing
the difficulty, it may be the result
of over irrigation or an over burden
of flood waters without natural
drainage.
By over irrigation is meant the
application of more water at one
time or over a period of time than
is needed to furnish the require
ments for plant growth. This usually
occurs when water is turned on to
the land and let run for several
days, or even weeks, without regard
to soil needs. It may also happen
when waste water accumulates on
certain pieces of land.
Underground Source
If the Doggy condition comes from
underground water, it is not always
easy to determine the source. 1t
may be an irrigation canal which
is losing water, or it may be from
waters that accumulate in the soil
from an adjacent area and travel
underground through a gravel layer
on top of an impervious soil layer.
Where the soil structure brings
the water near the surface, the
water logging condition occurs. 1t
is usually not possible for the indi-
vidual to prevent this condition,
since often the cause of the trouble
is not on his land.
When it comes to prevention, the
cause should first be known. If the
cause is surface water, there are
three rules to follow which will
help:
l. Apply only enough irrigation
water to keep water to supply plant
requirements.
2. Provide surface bitches to keep
waste and flood water off the land
when it is not needed and bitches
to carry off waste water while the
land is being irrigated. bitches fol
this purpose a be made with q
farm ditcher, or by blasting in we
areas.
3. Use a method of irrigation thai
will provide good control of irriga'
ton water.
Soil Holds ] 10 Z Inches
Soil has a capacity to hold from
l to 2 inches of water per foot o
soil Sandy soils hold the smallel
amounts and clays hold the mos
water per foot. Most of the waite
used by plants is taken from the to-
foot of soil. For most crops, yer.
little, if any, benefit is derived from
moisture below a depth of 4 feet.
Crops grown in Montana have
total water requirement of from 2
