Show THE DRAGERTON TRIBUNE Second Foot or Cubic Foot of Water Every Farmer Should Know Difference What is the difference between a second foot or cubic foot of water per .second and an acre foot? Every irrigating farmer should know the difference fully, for without this fundamental knowledge he is unable to do an efficient job of irrigating, according to ' Robert L. Hassell, Carbon county agent. Cubic feet per second is a measure of water flowing in a ditch, stream or river. The time element indicates the water is in motion. It is a block of water 12 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 12 inches long, moving at the rate of 12 inches per second. If this movement were to continue for 21 hours, there would be 86,400 cubic feet of water pass a given point, Mr. Hassell points out. Acre feet is a measure of still Water, or water in ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It simply means one foot deep over one acre. There are 43,460 square feet in an acre so that one acre foot of water actually equals 43,560 cubic feet. A convenient tool that an irrigator can use is the relationship between cubic feet per second and acre feet. Since one cubic foot per second delivers 86,400 cubic feet in 24 hours and since two acre feet Equals 87,120 cubic feet. There is only a two-tentof one per cent error in saying that one cubic foot per second delivers two acre feet per day, or one cubic foot, prr second equals one acre inch per hour. Mr. Hassell says that an gator can by this tool know what hs Thursday, June cis Murphy.
