Canal Lining Needed to Stop
Seepage of Irrigation Water
By H. L. DUSENBERRY

similar to that used on highways and
streets, has been tried but the perma-
nency of this lining is not known. 1t
is lower in cost of installation than
concrete when machinery is used to
excavate and put it in place.
Several types of buried lining have
been tried also. Here the process is
to over-excavate the canal and banks;
slope them and pack to uniform size
and shape. The asphalt is then applied
by using hot mixture sprayed on at
a very high temperature. This forms
a membrane about "a inch thick This
membrane must be covered for pro-
lection with earth or gravel several
inches up to 1 foot thick. The Bureau
of Reclamation reports costs from 81
cents to Sill per square yard for a
complete contract job. This is consid-
erably lower than concrete. Costs for
concrete lining have run from 1920 to
SAIL per square yard installed.
Asphalt Membrane
Another type which has received
much attention is the prefabricated
asphalt membrane lining. One of these
is asphalt lined with paper to facilitate
handling This lining is sold in rolls
like roofing paper. The canal is over
excavated and the banks sloped and
rolled to give uniformity and smooth
ness This asphalt is then laid with
Pinch overlap and the joints cemented
with hot asphalt. 1t is protected by a
cover of earth or sand and gravel. This
type is adapted to small areas where
mechanical equipment is unavailable
for installing the hot mix membrane.
The cost is variable, of course, but can
probably be done for as little as 81 per
square yard. Fiber glass membrane
lining is also used in the same way.
This material is probably similar to
asphalt in durability and cost of in
stallation Many types of membrane
Innings are being manufactured and
tried so we can look for new develop
mentS in the future.
Various types of earth Innings have
been used with all degrees of success.
The most common earth type lining for
irrigation canals and reservoirs is
bentonite This material is character
lied by its slipperiness, imperviousness,
high water absorption and ability to
swell when wetted. The so-called Wyo-
ming type bentonites have a pro-
nounced swelling ability. They will in
crease in volume as much as Is times
when wetted. There are number of
bentonite deposits in Montana. These
should be tested to determine their
suitability for canal lining purposes be.

Bentonite should be ground so that
at least 80 per cent of it will pass

water shortage problems OF today and
tomorrow. Actually, water is vital to
our lives and will play. an important
part in our future. We have devoted
many pages of writing and much re-
search to the matter of conserving
water. great issue has been made
about holding back our floods and
stopping water on the land where it
falls. True these things are important
and have a prominent place in water
for the future plans and programs.
Have you ever thought how much. of
the water we use for irrigation gets
to the plant for beneficial use?
Lets start with the channel which
carries the water to the land, the main
canals, in other words. Figures COM
piled from the 1910 irrigation census of
the US show that about 38 per cent
of the water taken into main canals is
lost by seepage, evaporation and leak
age. This is the average for the II
western states. Montana's loss in ca
mails was AZ per cent and Wyoming 67
per cent, according to these figures.
This means that nearly half of the wa
ter diverted from rivers and reservoirs
is lost before it gets to the farms. The
figures do not include the smaller
bitches used to distribute water on the
farms. The loss here may be equally
high and if so, it means as much as
three-quarters of the water is actually
lost before it gets to the field.
The 1855 USDA Yearbook entitled
''Water" gives these figures for one
of our western states. For 16 foot of
water used by crops, 1919 feet of water
are used or wasted. 1t breaks down
like thiS-4.9 feet conveyance and reg
uiation waste, 1.6 feet surface run-off,
"a deep percolation, GA feet water
evaporation. In other words, only about
Is per cent of the irrigation water and
rainfall is used by the plant. Here
again, over so per cent of the loss is in
the conveyance of water through
bitches to the fields. If this loss could
be eliminated there would be no water
shortage on our irrigated lands today
In many places the acreage of irrigated
land could be doubled. In numerous
other cases the need for drainage of
water-logged lands would no longer
exist.
Whale of a Leak
When we sum it all up we have one
whale of big leak in our irrigation
systems. What is being done about it?
Probably the Bureau of Reclamation is
the leader in the field of trying to stop
this loss. We all know it can be
done very effectively by concrete lin
ing. The cost-benefit ratio is not favor
able on many of the projects. Where
water is plentiful, it is cheaper to en-
large the canal and run twice as much
water through it as is actually needed
When we view the entire picture over ;
period of time it becomes questionable
We find drainage and cost of main
tenance coming into that picture Thu
far lining of certain porous sections
of the canal has been the practice
any lining has been used at all.
In Montana concrete lining ha
scarcely been used. Bentonite AM
asphalt Innings have been tried on
small scale. Most of the lining ha
been confined to sections of cana
which have serious leakage problem
The Bureau of Reclamation has expert
mented with asphalt lining in recen
years as a method of reducing th

"Old" Wheat Growers
May Join Program
CONTINUED from page one)

The rate of payment for wheat
acreage placed in the Acreage Re
serve is $1.34 per bushel in Sussex
County. The amount of the pay
ment will be based ON the normal
yield for the farm or the normal
yield for the designated acreage,
whichever is smaller.
The Acreage Reserve agreement
must be signed not only by the
farm operator, but also-if the
operator is share-tenant-by
each person who as owner or land
lord has control of the Acreage
Reserve land or who is to receive
compensation under the agreement.
Provision is made for properly pro-
tecting the interests of tenants and
share-croppers under the program.
Chairman Dukes explained that
farmers may designate as much as
so percent of their allotment or so
acres, whichever is larger, for in
clusion in the wheat Acreage Re
serve. However, the wheat acreage
designated for the Acreage Reserve
may not exceed the wheat allOt-
ment. The minimum acreage which
the farmer may designate for the
Acreage Reserve is 3 acres or the
wheat allotment, whichever is
smaller. lus u
If any winter wheat is grown on
the farm this fall, September 21 is

ments to place 1867 crop wheat
