we just brought it to the upper edge
of the field this first year.
Then we had several bikes con-
structed at the head end of the field,
which would flood % acres. Pipes and
controls were placed in each Individual
dixie to allow us to drain the flooded
areas after the water had been ON
sufficient time. All of the dirt work
was done by local contractor.
Good Alfalfa Crop
In the spring of 1854 we seeded the
% acres to Ladak alfalfa with flax as
a nurse crop. A very good catch was
realized, growing about II inches high
this first year. In this same year we
enlarged the system by building more
dikes which enabled us to flood an addi-
tional AZ acres.
In the spring of 1855 we seeded the
az acres to Ladak, this time using oats
as a nurse crop. We found that the oats
did not work as well because of the
heavier growth and it shaded the seed
lings little too much. Our catch was
good though.
Our yield in 1855, from the original
% acres was 1900 bales, or Al tons
to the acre. We figured the average
bale weight at so pounds. We we're very
surprised that it figured out this high
for the first harvest. We would like
to point out though that the initial
spring run off gave us our fir
cutting, we were able to flood again
between cuttings and that we received
about 2.5 to inches of rain after the
second cutting. This ideal situation will
probably not happen too often but we
are confident that we can depend on
getting two floodings per year.
In 1855 we extended the diversion
ditch the full length of the dikes and
put in turnOuts for every third dixie.
Cost sharing was made available to
us by the Fallon County Agricultural
Sterilization Conservation Committee.

the ditch would be constructed from
the dam to the top of our field on a

signed for an 8-foot bottom, 2:1 side
slopes and a depth of IA feet. This
would carry enough water to irrigate
our entire field in 48 hours.
1t was necessary to construct 90

not have to cross a county road twice
and go into neighbours hay field. The
original plan was to construct the
ditch all along the southern edge of
the field but, considering the total cost.

Flood Water System Solved
Our Winter Feed Problem
By REINHOLD and ART STRAUB
FaLL0n County,

OUR INABILITY to raise enough
good winter feed on our ranch, year in
and year out, caused us to take stock
of our resources and try to figure out
an answer.
We had been dry farming a field
along the North Fork of Pennel Creek
IN FallOn County, which was of good
soil and lying on about IL per cent
slope. Our neighbor, Bill Ohlrich, had
a washed out dam about y mile to
the east of us up the creek and it looked
as though we could repair and enlarge
this dam, divert the water into a ditch
and down to the head end of our field.
We were quite sure that if we could
get water to the field that contour
spreader bikes would do the Job of
irrigation for us.

Redwood Empire

SAN FRANCISCO.-A mighty

shore to shore and costing 500
million is handling vehicular
traffic to and from the Redwood
Empire today.
The Richmond San Rafael
Bridge opened to regular traf-

Motorists travelling transcon-

via San Francisco and the Gold

Imond-San Rafael Bridge. Those
using the latter bridge will, until
some time next year, travel on
the top deck. When the lower
deck is completed, each deck
will handle one-way traffic.
With the opening of the Rich

40 miles, which also includes
passage over the Golden Gate
