$40 for potatoes. Individual systems
will run under or over these figures
in many cases. 1t usually requires
from / to man hours of labor per
acre per irrigation for grain and
from liz to 2s4 for row crop.
The operating cost not including
overhead will quite commonly hit
in the range of rs cents to SIPS
per acre inch of water applied.
How much ground will sprin-
killer system irrigate at one setting?
That depends on the length of
lateral. A common setup is 1920 feet,
or one-fourth mile of lateral. With
40 foot coverage, which is common
for perforated pipe, 1.22 acres would
be covered at a setting. With go foot
coverage, which is common for a
rotary head system, 1872 acres would
be covered on a one-fcurth mile set.
How long does the sprinkler work
on one set?
That varies with the type of soil,
crop and kind of sprinkler used.
The most common range is from l
to II hours. Perforated pipe is de-
signed to put out 1, Ia or inches
per hour. Rotary heads will put
out much wider range of precipita-
ton rates.
Is there danger of sprinkler sYs-
TENS plugging up?
This has given trouble in some
cases, but can be avoided by proper
screening to protect the pump in
take. Three or four screens, No. 8,
No. 10, and No. IL mesh, are usually
required when pumping from pond
ditch or stream. The smallest mesh
screen should be nearest the intake.
Plenty of screened surface should
be provided so that screens will not
plug too frequently.
AT what pressures do sprinkler
| systems operdfe:
There are a wide range of pres.
sures recommended for different
systems. The perforated pipe oper
ates on low pressure from 6 to 2!
pounds. The rotary head has boil
low and high pressure systems. Tit
high pressure systems usually var.
from 80 to so pounds of pressure.
Is it possible 10 operate sprin
kler system without pumping?
This is entirely possible and yer
practical when the water supply
high enough above the irrigate
land to provide sufficient pressure
How can the rate of wafer absorr
ton by the soil be estimated?
Cut both ends out of some gallo
cans. Insert these cans into tn
soil, disturbing the soil as little {
possible Twist them so that the
make good contact with the so
and do not leak Make sure til
soil surface is uniform and level
the spot selected. Cans should k
located at several different place
over the area being. tested.
Pour two inches of water in eaC
can. Check the time required for Il
water to be absorbed, or measu
at half hour intervals. Figure Il
average rate of absorption for ea'
can and then average them.

Farmers with sprinkler systems

of this chemical as they can apply

Danger of Apathy
Biggest worry of the men respon-
sible for keeping the coyote under
control is an already apparent
apathy on the part of some sheep
and cattle men.
'"The coyotes are about gone" they
say, $50 why worry about them any
more?"
They seem to be forgetting the
natural cunning and tenacity of the
animal; they are forgetting that
once the coyote is left alone, he will
in few years be as numerous and
as destructive as before.
Government hunters have already
noticed that where, in 1945, the aver
age number of pups was 8 to 4, IN
1919 dens of pups numbering to 8
were very common. They have also
noted that double denning was ON
the upclimb. This is the result of one
male coyote mating with two fe-
males, coyote habit seldom seen
when the male and female ratio is in
balance.
Their numbers are low now. 1t is

| cerned to keep them that way than

Federal Benefits for

Federal old-age benefits for all
aged people, with each generation
paying its own bill, was recon-
mended today by a Senate witness.
Msgr. John O'Grady recon-
mended to the Senate Finance
Committee that all aged people
should be so protected whether
they have paid into the plan or
not. At minimum of $25 each
a month this would cost $2,340,-

generation will, however, be much
larger" he said. ~
