Engineer, In Charge of Irrigation Investigations Investi-gations In Idaho. Oregon Short Line Railroad Demonstration Dem-onstration Train Lecture. (Continued from last week) 4. The issuing stream of water must have full contraction; that Is, it must be sharp and clear cut. This is brought about by making the upstream up-stream edge of the weir board as nearly a knife edge as possible, and by keeping the sides and bottom of the box below the weir at a good distance dis-tance from the falfing stream so that the air may pass freely clear around and in under the issuing stream. The water below the weir should never be allowed to back up to the level of the crest so as to exclude the air from under the issuing stream, else complete contraction will not be secured se-cured and the discharge will be affected. affect-ed. If air can pass freely underneath the issuing stream the level of the water below the weir has no influence on the discharge. An observance of the following rules will usually insure in-sure complete contractron. a. The opening of the weir or the weir notch must be made in a plane surface perpendicular to the direction of the flow of water. b. The opening itself must have a sharp edge on the up-stream side and the walls should be beveled away on the downstream side. c. The distance of the crest of the weir from the bottom of the box or basin should be at least three times the depth of the water on the crest. d. The distance of the sides of the weir notch from the sides of the box or channel should be at least twice as great as the depth of the water flowing over the crest. e. In order that the lateral contraction con-traction should not be disturbed the length of the weir crest should be aproximately three times that of th,e depth of water flowing over it. 5. The depth of water flowing over the weir should not be less than two inches nor more than one-third of the length of the crest, and it should be measured where it will not be affected affect-ed by waves, wind or eddies, and far enough up stream so that it will not be influenced by the curvature induced in-duced by the falling Water. This can not be done by measuring it exactly over the crest. The distance above the crest which is usually found sufficient, suffi-cient, is up stream from the crest a distance equal to the length of the crest. The most frequent cause of error in weir measurements is excess velocity ve-locity of approach and this must be guarded against by providing a good sized pool above the weirs which must be kept clean and free from sediment. , "Don'ts'' in Regard to Weirs. 1. Do not set a weir immediately below a curve in the ditch, for the curve will cause the water to flow to the side ,of the crest. 2. Do not set it immediately below or too close to a head gate where the water has high velocity, as by so doing, do-ing, it will cause too high a velocity of approach. 3. Don't allow the water below the weir to back up even with the crest as it will not allow complete contrac-toin contrac-toin and will cut down the discharge. 4. Do not set the weir any other way than perpendicular and at right angles to the flow of the stream. 5. Do not attempt to use too small a weir. Put in a larger weir where the water to be measured exceeds a depth on the crest of 1-3 the crest length. 6. Do not allow the pool above the weir to fill up with sediment, as the resulting decrease in the cross section sec-tion will increase the velocity of approach. ap-proach. 1. The weir box should be set with Its floor even with the bottom of the Duty of Water. To know the proper amount of irrigation ir-rigation water that should be applied to the different soils and crops in or-j or-j der to make the greatest possible I yield, has always been a serious problem prob-lem to all irrigators. It has always been known that in order to secure the biggest possible crop it Is neces-I neces-I sary to apply different amounts to different crops and to different soils with the same crop, but just how much this amount should be hns never been known only in an indefinite way. The Irrigation Investigations department, de-partment, which I represent in the state of Idaho, has. in co-operation with the state engineer's office, been carrying on a series of experiments for the past two years by means of which it is hoped to determine this very important factor, and we have secured a vast amount of data concerning con-cerning It. These experiments have all been carried out on comparatively large areas and in a practical way. It does not give any indication of how much water is necessary fo maximum crop production on any soil to merely measure the amoun' that some farmer applies for the re:i son that the same or a larger crop might have been produced with either more or less water than that which was really used, so we have been try ing to work out this feature by selecting select-ing a large number of tracts on typical typi-cal farms in different parts of Idahc and then divide each tract into three different parts and apply different amounts of water to each one. Water was measured and varied in this manner man-ner on sixty different farms durins 1910 and on as many more during the past season. Several factors in regard to the use of water have been very strongly emphasized, the principal ones being that the amount of water required depends upon: (1) The character of the soil and sub-soil. The texture of the soil " as regards porosity poro-sity has more to do with the amount !of water used than any other one I thing and it has been found that 'adobe soils may be irrigated with a total application of but two or three acre inches while in some instancss from one to two acre feet are required re-quired to spread over and thoroughly irrigate an acre of very gravelly soil. At least 2-3 of this latter amount is almost invariably wasted as it either 'passes into the ground water or per-'colates per-'colates beyond the reach of the plant ; roots. If coarse soil is underlaid Iwith an impervious stratum, the amount of water necessary is materially ma-terially cut down, while if the impervious imper-vious stratum is lacking, some irrigation irriga-tion system must be used which will flood the ground quickly before the water has time to penetrate too deeply deep-ly if a high duty is to be secured. (2) Climatic Conditions The annual an-nual precipitation and its seasonal distribution, together with the temperature, temper-ature, humidity and wind movement, all have a very evident effect upon the amount of water required. (3) Diversification of Farm Crops. Where a farm is all devoted to one crop such as grain, hay or potatoes, po-tatoes, the greatest need for water usually falls within a comparatively short time, and there is but little usr for it during the rest of the season, while by diversifying his crops, the farmer's need for water will be more constant and he is better able to make good use of a continuous flow of the ditch throughout the season. (4) Use of Rotation. It is well known to most irrigators that little can be accomplished by irigating with small heads of water, and a much larger and better use is secured from the water where larger heads can be used. Rotation systems, by means of which a farmer can exchange water with his neighbor and use larger heads for shorter periods, are now being used with success in many localities lo-calities and the saving of water is very material. (5) Preparation of the Land. Maximum crop production can not be secured without a uniform wetting of the soil and this is impossible if the land is not properly prepared and leveled for irrigation. Rough, uneven land, it is plain to see, requires more water than smooth land, for it has to be held on the land long enough to soak up the high spots. Careful preparation prep-aration of the land is an absolute necessity if the best use is to be secured se-cured from the water. (6) Kind of crop grown whether cultivated or non-cultivated and length of season that it needs water have a very direct bearing upon the amount of water that will be required by the crop. Spring grains, on account of their short season of growth, requires considerably less water than a?3alfa, which grows from early spring until late fall. Winter grains, all other things being equal, require less irrigation irri-gation water than spring grains, because be-cause of their ability to utilize more of the moisture deposited in the soil from winter precipitation. A cop that can be cultivated will need considerably con-siderably less water than a non-eulti vated one, because of the great saving that can be made by the reduction ot the evaporation through cultivation. It is as easy to apply too much water as it is to apply too little, and every bit as harmful. The experiments experi-ments carried on this year at Gooding Good-ing show up the results of over-irrigation very clearly. We had twenty-one twenty-one different plots of wheat consisting consist-ing of three varieties of seven plots each. These were planted and handled hand-led in exactly the same manner except ex-cept that different amounts of water were applied to each plot, all three varieties being handled alike as a check one upon another. The water applied to each of the three series ol plots was varied all the way from nothing upon the first plot of each series, to an average depth of approximately ap-proximately two and a half feet where the greatest amount was applied. ap-plied. With the dry farming where no water was appi'ied, the yield was aproximately 1,000 pounds per acre. As the amount of water was increased the yield also increased until th? plot receiving an application of approximately approxi-mately 1.7 feet made a yield of 1,800 pounds per acre, after which the yield decreased rapidly until the p ot receiving re-ceiving an application of from 1.6 to 1.7 feet yielded less on the average than that which received no water at all. This shows strikingly the effects of over irrigation on wheat and show:; in addition, as do all of the other experiments ex-periments that we have carried on. that spring grains do not require much water. Alfalfa and clover throughout, all of the experiments have responded to the use of larger i amounts of water and have be?r. i found to require fully 30 per cent more than grains. The one thing that I has been emphasized throughout a-i : of the experiments is that careful ! areparation of the ground for the i;- rigation, at the outset, pays large returns re-turns upon the amount of money invested.
