4 Irrigations, 2 Hours Each
May Be Enough for Beets
BY w. E. larson, Soil Scientist
USD Il. and Montana Agricultural Experiment Station

DURING THE LAST 2 years ex-
periments with sugar beets on heavy
soils with high water tables have in
dictated that water does not need to
be on the land more than two hours
at a setting and the frequency of ir-
rigation does not affect yield as
much as might be expected. 80.
In 1851 yields were the same
whether 2, S or 10 irrigations were
used. However, the cool, wet sea-
SON undoubtedly influenced the
number of irrigations needed. In
1852 yields were increased by 2.5
tons per acre by increasing the num-
Der of irrigations from l to 4. More
than irrigations did not further in
crease yields. Table ! summarizes
the results with respect to frequency
of irrigation and yield of sugar beets
during 1851 and 1852. These expert
ments have been conducted at the
Huntley Branch Station.
The frequency of irrigation, the
amount of water needed per irriga-
ton and the amount of time required
for irrigation water to wet the soil
adequately are complex problems
and cannot be answered in blanket
recommendation for all Montana's
irrigated crop and soil conditions.
However, the Huntley studies pro-
vide information that should be
helpful to sugar beet growers in
South Central Montana.
Amount of Water Per Irrigation
The amount of water a soil can
store for plant use depends on its
texture and structure. Generally
loan soils will store the most avail
able water and clays and sands the
least.
The amount of available water
storage in nine irrigated soils from
Yellowstone and Big Horn counties
was found to vary from IL to 20
inches per foot of soil Most of the
soils could store about IL inches of
available water per foot of soil. AS
Stunning that crops will draw water
from the top three feet of soil and
that only "a of the available water is
used between each irrigation, it can
be calculated that less than 4 inches
of water will need to be supplied per
irrigation.
Records from Is sugar beet fields
in Yellowstone and Big Horn Coun-
ties also showed that 4-inch irriga-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-08-01

ton would have been sufficient on
all fields. Actually the amount of
water needed will vary with the
stage of growth of the plant. Early
season needs of sugar beets are light,
but they increase progressively into
the season with increases in top
growth and depth and expansion of
root zone. Some crops such as al
falfa will draw water from deeper
depths and thus somewhat larger
amounts should be applied.
Length of Time Per SET
Other work at Huntley compared
the rate of water intake on dry, me-
dunn dry and moist soil. All plots
were in sugar beets and were furrow
irrigated.
The results of this study show that
the amount of water entering the
soil was very rapid at first and then
as the soil became wet it gradually
slowed down to minimum but con-
slant rate of about 0.3 inch per hour.
The more rapid initial intake, partic-
ularly on the dry soils, was undoubt-
eddy due to more severe soil crack
ing on those plots.
Figure 1 gives the total amount of
water intake versus time for the
three moisture treatments. This
shows that 10, AZ and % inches had
actually entered the soil at the end
of the two hours time for the dry,
medium and wet soils. In all cases
this was more than enough to wet
the soil root zone. In other words,
on this soil two-hour irrigation is
sufficient.
Longer irrigations will result in
excessive amounts of water teaching
through the soil and may result in
loss of nutrients, water logging and
drainage problems These expert
ments also showed that it wasn't
necessary to have the water soak
clear across the row. Even though
the top of the ridge is dry, the soil
will be wet few inches below the
surface.
The results of these experiments
will not apply to all soil conditions
even though the experiments were
conducted on a typical soil. Ger
tainly the rate of water intake will
be slower on alkai soils that tend to
seal up" very badly. The results
do seem to point out, however, that
every irrigator should examine his

Vim. Houston Dies
In Washington

Washington, D. c., Sept. % -
William L. Houston, one of the
two oldest attorneys in the Dis
trict of Columbia, died at Freed
mems Hospital Wednesday morn
ing, September 9, after three
months illness.
The 83year-old barrister, faith
er Of the late famous Charles H,
Houston had been a practicing in
the District of Columbia for more
than so years.
Houston was signally honored
last December by his co-workers
at judicial ceremony held in the
new District Building, commemo-
rating his years of service in the
field Of law.
He is survived by a sister, Cotill
? M. Houston, a retired school teach
er; a brother, DR.. U. L. Houston,
and one orandchild. Charles H
Houston. Jr.
After graduating in 1892 he
wanted to return to his home state
as a pioneer lawyer, but had no
money with which to leave Wash
ington. He, therefore, found it
necessary to settle down and begin
his career in the District of Column
hia. He was admitted to the Dis
trict Bar in December 1892, the
same year of his graduation.

radio, and on recital tour have
been outstanding successes.
Two notable events will be pre-
scented in February. The new Art
Wind Quintet comes to Dansby
Hall Auditorium February 3, 1854.
This outstanding musical group
was organized in 1947 and spent
two years in intensive training be-
fore making its concert debut. Mu
sic lovers who hear this group are
assured a concert of topnotch in

The closing event of a very bril-
liant season will be the famous
Apollo Boys Choir, under the d.
tection of Coleman Cooper. Every
where this group has appeared
since it was first introduced to
the American public in 1910, it's
appearances have been such quality
to- give it a permanent place among
the major musical organizations of
America.

At Howard
Law School

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-
Fifty-eight first year students reg
istered in the Howard University
School of Law on Tuesday, the
first day of registration for law
school students. This represents
the largest enrolment in thirty
one years of new students in that
school, it was announced today by
Dean George M. Johnson of the
Law School.
Dean Johnson in discussing the
enrolment stated "The SO first
year students who registered on
the first day of enrolment repre-
sents Sc per cent increase in en-
follment when compared with last
years total first year enrolment
of 81 students. Registration for
the other nine schools and colleges
began on September 16 and con-
tinue thru September 10.
"This large first year class is
taxing our physical facilities to
the point where it may be neces-
sary to turn away late registrants,"
Dean Johnson added. This situa-
ton underscores the desperate need
for the new Law School Building"
Daen Johnson was referring to
the new law school building which
has been approved by Congress
but was set aside due to emergency
developments. The Law School
still holds classes in the Founders
Library Buildings.
The Dean stated further that:
1t is our hope that this emergency
period will pass soon and that the
Federal Government will be able
to authorize the construction of
new Law School Building at the
earliest possible date.
The Howard University Law
School, founded in 1869, now Of
fers a curriculum consisting of 80
different courses designed to pre-
pare students for the successful
practice of law in every state and
in the District of Columbia. Since
1881, it has been on the approved
list of the American Bar Associa-
ton, and a memmer of the Asso-
citation of American Law Schools.
The faculty is composed of legal
scholars who have received their
training in every section of the
country.

Mr.. D. w. Rivers, Asst. Rural
Sociologist, discussed with the
group the Community Development
Plan, pointing out to them that
more people could be reached by
this method and better results ac-
complished.
Mr.. D. B. Rosenkrans, Jr. told
the group that he had found that
in many instances Extension peo-
pie were doing an excellent job
but in many cases failed to give
themselves credit for what they
were doing. He further stated that
in many cases where a larger
amount of success had been ac-
complished, these accomplishments
should be publicised through News
papers, Magazines and 0 tn e r
methods.
Mrs. Edna Wilkerson, in charge
of Publicity, State College, Miss.
gave helpful hints to the group as
to how they might use the Bulletins
and other Literature sent out by
the Specialists.
Mr.. C. I. Smith, State All Club

to the group the Importance of
working with other Agencies. He
further stated that in many cases
