Irrigation

PROBABLY NO KIND of farming
in Montana provides more continual
work merry go-round than does irri-
cation farming Many farms combine
two or more kinds of livestock and
the production of several kinds of
crops. Each crop requires intermittent
attention and some of them are over
tapping.
During the summer season the
farmer finds himself trying to do two or
three things at once with the crops
and taking care of the livestock on
the side On top of this, it is very likely
that irrigation should be going on
continuously. All this is good, providing
there is enough help available and
enough power and equipment to carry
on.
In the days when manpower was
more available and when not much
machinery was used it didn't make
much difference. A crew could be
gathered up to complete each job as
the work was done Now that most
of the work is done with power ma
chinery it is not so easy to acquire or
discharge these iron horses. When you
add new machine, you need to have
enough work to make it pay, or you
will probably live to regret buying it.
Hoo5 Eoo:I:+;o. Do.,,:-oI
Many farmers are now irrigating a
small part of the day and doing other
jobs at the same time This means
that the irrigation system must be so
laid out and designed that a change
can be made quickly and the water
must work efficiently while you are
away from it. 1t means when you
make set on the water, it must
stay that way until you return. 1t
means that washoutS and leaks will
spoil your set, waste water and waste
your time.
Permanent structures made of con-
crete, steel or wood can eliminate
some of these hazards. Temporary
structures such as canvas or plastic
dams and steel, plastic or rubber
syphon tubes will also insure steady
distribution of water These structures,
when properly installed to irrigate can
leave the farmer free to do other work
and expect his set to hold until he
gets back.
In order to avoid having to stay
with the water constantly, border
dikes for distributing the water on the
field provide the best means of reduc
ing the time required for irrigation
Contour bitches, properly spaced will
also help to reduce the time required
to make each set, but still require more
attention than do border dikeS.
Controlling Factors
There are several factors which con
troll the kind of irrigation method yol
can and should use to get the best us,
of your time. If you have a small
amount of water to work with, vol
will accomplish the most by usin,
either the sprinkler method or the cor
rugation method of irrigation.
When you have steep land slope
over 10 per cent it should be in pas
ture or hay most of the time. The &C
