Irrigation
Are Your bitches
Ready for Water?
By STANLEY w. HOWARD


SOON IRRIGATION water will be
flowing in irrigation bitches through
out the state. The success of water
delivery to the land will depend on
how well the ditch delivery system
is maintained.
A ditch maintenance program
should be continuous year after year.
Delayed maintenance can be very
expensive.
Before turning water into farm
bitches they should be burned out
to clear them of any old weed
growth. If silt is problem a round
or two through the ditch with a
ditcher will usually leave the inside
of a ditch in good shape. Turnouts,
checks and other water control
structures should be checked to see
that they are in good working order.
Clean bitches reduce water losses
in bitches due to seepage and evap-
grafton. Time is saved in making
water delivery in clean bitches and
the threat of washouts is greatly re-
duced.
Ditch banks offer an ideal environ
ment for the growth of many diff
ferent kinds of weeds. If weeds are
allowed to produce seed the water,
will carry the weeds seeds out into
the fields where acres of valuable
crop land may becomes infested.
Ditch banks should be shaped so
that equipment can be moved along
the bitches to control weed growth
by machinery, burning, or chemical
means.
Once ditch banks are smoothed
down and existing weed growth is
controlled desirable grasses may be
seeded along the banks. COMPETE
ton from a good grass cover will
reduce the weed problem. A good
grass cover on the banks will reduce
erosion of banks and will provide a
source of summer pasture for live
stock that might otherwise be
wasted.
Keeping your water delivery sys-
tenn in top-notch condition will not
only save time and water but will
also reduce the weed and insect
problems in our irrigated areas.

College Farm May
Become Model For
COnservatiOnists

Planning to set up an exemplary
demonstration of effective conserva-
ton farming in this area, the Bluff
ton College farm advisory board met
recently with Soil Conservation Serv-
ice technicians, Lee Borton and John
Nicholson, to develop a conservation
plan for the colleges 112-acre farm.
Farm planner Borton outlined the
conservation needs of the local farm,
based upon a recent detailed soil
survey.
Grassed waterways, terraces, strip
cropping, pasture improvement and
reforestation were the practices most
urgently needed, the advisory board
was informed. Supplementing these,
generous lining and fertilization, and
an improved rotation with adequate
meadow crops, would be required.
The college advisory board is CO.
operating with the Allen Soil Con-
servation District in developing its
farm program.
