to 60 for a big inning or to try to
move the leading run around to
third. He chose the latter, and ii
backfired.
Sain, his jaw buIging with the
heart Of the leaf, fired to Cox, and
both he and catcher Yogi Berra
sprang into action as though they
had been catapulted. Yogi reached
the dribbler first and fired to Gil
McDougald at third as Gil Hodges
went tearing in. It was close as the
next heart beat, but umpire Art
Gore ruled it a putout. Some
thought it could have been called
the other way, and Dresser danced
in pain in the coach's box.
Then Labine trieo it too, and
this time Berra pegged Carl Furillo
out at third with a stride to spare.
Junior Gillian then sent up a pop
foul to end the Dodger threat, and
that was the last the National
Leaguers saw of Sain.
It is idle, of course, to specu-
late what might have happened
had Dresser played things differ

double play. A pinch hitter for La

Irrigation
When, How Much to Irrigate
Vary With Crops and Soils
Bv STANLEY w. HOWARD
By STANLEY W. HOWARD

o>~eROANoe
While alfalfa has a rather high
moisture requirement and can make
use of heavier irrigations because
of its deeper root system than other
crops, little is to be gained in ever
applying more than six inches of
water per irrigation, regardless of
soil type.
Young alfalfa seedlings seeded
with nurse crop need earlier and
more frequent irrigat1ons than older
stands of alfalfa or small grains
planted alone. Many stands are lost
by letting the surface get too dry
while the nurse crop is getting ripe
and being harvested. For this rea-
son many operators prefer to cut
the nurse crop for hay while it is
green and then give the seedlings
a light irrigation as soon as the hay
has been removed.
Requirements for Sugar Beets
Sugar beets require available
moisture continuously throughout
the growing season. Excessive as
we'll as deficient irrigation will Sc
riously reduce the rate of growth
and also the yields. Beets should be
irrigated whenever the leaves begin
turning dark green color or begin
to wilt during midday and do not
recover quickly at night. Water
should be distributed evenly in all
burrows to give the field uniform
irrigation. Flooding and ponding
should be avoided.
The amount of water to apply at
each irrigation depends upon the
root development and the type of
soil. Early season irrigations should
not be as heavy as those later in
the summer.
Frequent Irrigations for Beets
A shallow sandy soil is able to
absorb two or three inches of wa
ter within reach of the sugar beet
root while a clay loan can absorb
and hold three to five inches of wa
ter per irrigation. On sandy soils
when beets are making rapid growth
during warm weather it may be
necessary to apply light irrigation
every week or ten days.
Under these conditions on heavier
soils the interval between irrigations
may vary from two to three weeks.
Watch the growth of the beets and
check soil moisture frequently SO
that irrigation can be accomplished
before a portion of the field suffers
from lack of moisture.
Small Grains. Corn
The total seasonal irrigation re-
quirements for small grain may vary
from 10 to 20 inches. Yields of all
small grain crops decreases rapidly
with excessive amounts of water.
Grain crops should be irrigated
whenever they need water regard
less of stage of growth. If water is
limited the most effective irriga-
ton will be the one that is applied
between the early root and early
bloom stage. Irrigation after the
early dough stage usually doesn't
increase yield but delays ripening
and encourages lodging.
Corn has about the same moisture
requirement as small grain. The
most critical stage of growth in re-
lation to moisture supply occurs at
tasseling. Surface flooding should be

Irrigation


practice that is very important in
profitable crop production.
For high production of quality
products moisture should be avail
able in the soil for steady plant
growth from the time of planting
until the crop reaches maturity.
The amount of water needed and
the time it should be applied de-
ponds upon the kind of crop grown,
its yield, its stage of growth, the
soil and climatic conditions. In the
plains area of southern and eastern
Montana more water is required than
in the higher mountain valleys
where temperatures are cooler and
the growing seasons shorter.
In some areas where water is
plentiful and low in cost there is a
tendency on the part of some water
users to pay little attention to the
amount of water applied. Excessive
irrigation usually results. Too much
water applied results in waste of
water, reduction of crop yield, even
tual loss of the use of land due to
the teaching of fertility, water log
ging of the land and accumulation
of alkaI at the soil surface.
Soil Chief Factor
One of the greatest factors in
fluencing irrigation on any farm is
the soil. The soil acts as a reservoir
for the storage of moisture between
irrigations. The amount of moisture
that a soil can store will depend
upon its texture or size of soil par
ticles, the depth of surface soil and
the nature of the subsoil, whether
a hardpan or porous sand or gravel.
Light textured soils without the
presence of a high water table or a
heavy subsoil can store from one
half to three-quarters of an inch
depth of water per each foot depth
of soil from single irrigation. Crops
may withdraw moisture from such
soils from depths of to 6 feet.
From 8 to inches depth of water
may be stored in such soils during
each irrigation.
Medium textured soils may store
from 1 to liz inches per foot of
soil and the clay soils may store
| from to 3 inches per foot of depth.
Most of the moisture used by
plants comes from the top two feet
of soil. Applying enough water to
fill the soil profile to depth of two
| feet is usually sufficient. A rod or
soil probe is useful in determining
whether uniform penetration is be-
ing secured over the entire field.
Heavier Irrigations for Alfalfa
For maximum yield, alfalfa
should be well supplied with mois-
ture throughout the growing season.
The number of irrigations needed
will depend upon the number of
cuttings, depth and kind of soil and
climate of the locality. Where irri-
cation water is available through
out the growing season the number
of cuttings will depend upon the
length of the growing season.
At higher elevations where two
cuttings are common, the number
of irrigations each season will vary
from one to three for heavier soils
and from two to five on lighter
soils, depending on the season. Al
lower elevations where three cut
tings are obtained the number OF
