When Is Sprinkler IRRIGATION
the Best System to Use?
By H. L. DUSENBERRY

rigation can be done on the land to
the side and above the dam, as well
as below. Some dams do not have
an area below that is suitable for
irrigation by gravity.
4. Wells. In areas where wells can
be drilled to good water bearing
strata at less than rs feet, sprinkler
irrigation may be justified for high
return specialized crops. Water
should be tested. Test holes should
be drilled to locate adequate water
supply before drilling and installing
an irrigation well. This will prob
ably be high cost irrigation.
5. Sumps. Where excavation can
be made in an area with a high wa
ter table that will produce a flow
of water sufficient to irrigate by
sprinkler, it may be a practical
means of irrigation. Excavation of
this kind would probably be made
with dragline, power shovel, or
similar equipment.
6. Gravity canals. Most irrigation
projects are served by a gravity
canal to distribute water to the
various farms. In many instances
there are good many acres of
land Immediately above the canal
that could be irrigated efficiently
by sprinkler. This would be de-
pendent on being able to arrange
with the ditch company or irriga-
ton district to use the water.
What are the usual water require,
ments for various crops for sprinkler
irrigation in Montana?

about $40 per acre to web over
5000. The Canadian Experiment
station at Swift Current reports a
cost range of 500 to $3.50 per acre
for the permanent pump installa-
tons and from $40 to $40 per acre
for the portable pump systems.
The Colorado Extension service re-
ports in Bulletin 405A an average
cost of $73 per acre with a range
of $25 to $3.50 per acre investment
cost.
How does cost of operation COM

pare with the surface method OF
irrigation?
In general sprinkler irrigation is
higher cost. The range of variation
in cost is probably just as great for
the surface method as it is for sprin-
kler, so when cost is figured for any
particular tract of land, either
method may have an advantage.
The average annual operation cost
per acre for sprinkler irrigation in
Montana including labor, interest,
repairs, water charges, and power

How much wafer is needed Il
operate a sprinkler system?

Operate a sprinkler SYS1ens
The answer to this depends on
many different factors. A general
principle to follow is that there
should be enough water to provide
a minimum flow of gallons per
minute for each irrigated acre. In
other words, if 40 acres are to be
irrigated, the minimum flow should
be 200 gallons per minute.
While the water requirement
varies directly with the acres to be
irrigated and crops grown, it must
be remembered the per acre in
vestment costs are usually greater
for systems that cover only a few
acres as compared with system de-
signed to cover more acreage.
The rate of application varies with
the soil permeability and labor pat
tern the farmer wants to follow.
When water is applied somewhere
near as fast as the soil will absorb
it, the greatest efficiency can usual
ly be realized from the investment.
In other words, more land can be
irrigated with less pipe.
What is the investment cost per
acre for a sprinkler irrigation sYs-
tenn?
In Montana the cost has run from

% The first figure usually applies to light
or sandy soils and the second figure to the
heavier soils.
(2) The heavy soils will hold moisture
longer than the light soils Rainfall during
the season will make these figures quite
variable.

on the subject. While irrigation by
this method is not new, it is just
getting a start in some parts of
Montana.
Western Montana has led the
state in this development The idea
probably drifted across the noun
tains from the west or came in from
the southwest. The making of port
able sprinkler systems has reduced
the original cost and has expanded
the field of use. At present dealer
ships are springing up all over the
state, and interest is becoming more
or less general.
In order to provide information
on the subject, it seems logical to
answer some of the most common
questions we get from farmers. 1t
Is always hard to give specific an
swers because we do not have uni
form conditions and situations. Here
are a few questions and answers as
we see them.
Under Whaf cono1f1onS m
sprinkler irrigation be justified?
In order to answer this question
we can draw from a recent confer
ence of technical workers dealing
with irrigation practices. This group
was agreed that the following con-
ditions or situations in regard to
topography, soil and water favored
the use of sprinkler irrigation:
l. Undulating topography making
surface irrigation difficult.
2. Possibility that cost of level
ing will offset investment in sprin-
kler equipment.
8. Where leveling is impractical
due to shallow soil.
4. Steep lands-where erosion is
a hazard.
5. Excessively flat lands where
surface drainage is a problem.
6. Extremely porous soils with
tendency to teaching or high per-
collation. loss.
7. Impervious soils with high run
off factor
8. Along flood plains of streams
subject tos overflow and damage to
bitches.
9. Lands lying Immediately above
the ditch or other water source.
10. Limited quantity of water
available.
IL. Under high lift, sprinkler sys-
tenn may reduce pumping cost.
What sources of water offer pos
sibilities for bringing lands under
irrigation by the sprinkler method?
1. Rivers with continuous flow
and having adjacent land areas
adapted to cultivation and crop pro-
duction.
2. Creeks which furnish an ade.
quate supply of water up until July
Is or later might be used for early
maturing crops such as small grair
or special crops such as alfalfa Oh
sweet clover seed in certain areas
This would probably provide an
irrigation after the first crop o
clover or alfalfa is cut for hay.
3. Reservoirs which store tota
of 80 or more acre feet of waite
and will fill every year. This shoult
provide irrigation for 10 or Is acre
of irrigated pasture or about 40 o
SO acres of grain or corn. 1t will ais
allow for some seepage, evapora
ton and stock water. Sprinkler il

Inever have known a man, pro-

For a time, in this country, he

to read books but to buy books.
In my infancy we owned the larg-

drunken weaver had introduced
Father.
WHEN came to know him, and
my memory of him goes back to
possibly the year 1884, he had

reading he had added the quality

In the course of time, my fathers

America, Father acquired the only

5000 Disabled War
Vets On Waiting List

Five thousand disabled World
War II veterans are on a waiting
list waiting for a chance to train
on -the-job under Public Law 16.
Ready and willing to train for jobs
they can fill despite their handi-
caps, they have been waiting more
than a month.
In past months the total had been
even higher. But it was reduced
through intensified efforts by Vet
Grams Administration field offices
throughout the country. Even with
intensified efforts, the 5000 total
still remains.
VA has been trying to find
places of training for these veter-
ans-in industry, business establish
ments, offices and the like-but
with little success.
Eventually, VA said, training op-
portunitieS will be found for many
of the veterans. Meanwhile, all
they can do is wait-or look for
employment which may even ag-
gravate their disabilities.
The number of disabled veterans,
waiting 30 days or more for job
training openings, has remained
around the 5000 mark for the past
half year.
Before that time, the number was
much greater.
After VA does find places of
training for the handicapped vet
Grams on the waiting list their ranks
are filled more or less, by other 30
Iday-or-more walters" So the 5000
total remains, month after month.
Past VA surveys have revealed
that most disabled veterans, train
ing on-the-job under Public Law 16,
were learning to be mechanics and
repairmen, office workers, metal
workers, construction workers and
SaleSmen-in that order.
The chances are, VA said, that
the veterans now waiting for Public
Law 16 training opportunities are
looking for openings along those
same lines.
A veteran who is on the waiting
list has definite need for vocc-
tional rehabilitation in order to
help him overcome his wartime dis
ability, VA explained. In his case,
the following steps already have

1. He has been given advisement
and guidance, where tests and in
terviews have pointed up his apti-
tudeS, talents and interests.
2. VA has made recommends
tions as to what type of training
he would best be suited.
3. VA officials already have
made intensive efforts-but with
out success-to place him as job
trainee in a field where his chances
for success would be greatest.
The next and most vital step in
the veterans rehabilitation, that of
actually training the veteran, VA
said, is up to business and industry.
Given the chance, the average
disabled veteran most likely will
succeed in his job training, and be-
come an asset to his employer.
Employers desiring to take on
