Repoits on the hunt, have been both good and bad. Some outfits had good luck, but many came back empty handed. All in all, the kill up to date has not been up to that of other years at this point of the season. But for the remainder of the period the hunting should be better.

Mickelson, also the group on the accompanied Knowing how to apply water on irrigated land will do more than any other single factor to increase the faimers income, protect the soil from erosion, conserve water, prevent loss of valuable minerals and produce greater harvests, Howard M Ivory, rcpiesentative of the Soil Conservation Service in the Uintah Basin Soil Conservation District, declares. Ihere is only one right way to irrigate and that is to put water into the soil to the depth of plant roots and no deeper," he sajs He adds that fanners can accomplish an efficient irrigation job if they will follow a tew basic rules Fust of all, the irrigation farmeis should know where the water is going, how deeply it is the percolating engtn ot me run and how much is running off the lower end of the lield as waste In the ideal irrigation, Mr. Ivory says, only as much water as is needed is turned into the border or furiow, and no waste water runs oil (lie lower end of the field. Elficient irrigation is difficult where the land is sloping, but when a field has been properly leveled tiiere is no excuse for waste water exec pt poor management, Mr. Ivory points out. It is wasteful to apply more water than crops tan use or to let water percolate so deep that roots cannot reach it If an excess of water is applied, it does not stay in the root zone for use by plants, but seeps deeper and is wasted. An excess of water will not make plants send roots any deeper, Mr. Ivoiy sas Plants have definite rooting habits and soils, more than anything else, determine the depth of roots Actually, over irrigation usually decreases crop yields and frequently washes away soluble plant foods, such as nitrates, Mr. Ivory points out The only exception to the rule that water should never percolate below the root zone is on alkali land, where an occasional extra heavy irrigation may be needed to leach out the alkali, and this procedure is effective only where adequate drainage is assured Mr. Ivory recommends the use of a moistuie probe to determine how deep the water is percolating A piobe is merely a inch rod four feet long with a handle on one end The depth of moisture penetration is determined by the ease with which the probe can be pushed down through the soil. Some farmers prefer a soil auger because it ' gives more positive information on the depth of penetration. When first starting to use a probe, farmers should allow the soil to drain for about two days and then chock results by digging test holes or using a soil auger to determine how deep the moisture finally penetrated Only a few checks will be required to show, for example, that if the probe indicates three feet of saturation, the moisture will percolate finally to a four foot depth. If a farmer wants to save water, he should not irrigate by the calendar, or use water simply because it is in the ditch, but should apply water only when plants need it A shovel or a soil auger should be used to find out how far down thex plants have used up available moisture, and then only enough water should be applied to wet the ground to this depth and no deeper, Mr, Ivory says Having control of water all times is also imperative, the soil conservationist explains. In any irrigation plan a system of gates, turnout boxes, spiles, or other controls will enable the irrigator to control water at every place where it is applied to the land Two common errors in irrigation are to have runs too long and to have furrows laid out on too steep a gradient If runs are too long, water penetration is uneven, while if the grade is too step, topsoil is washed away. Runs should be limited to 600 feet and grades to 2 inches per 100 feet, depending upon type of soil and cover crop, Mr, Ivory says Farmers can reduce irrigating time by 20 pi r cent or more, increase crop yields bv 25 to 50 per cent, save 10 to 25 pi r cent of the water, and keep the soil from eroding by applsing irrigation water more efficiently, Mr Ivory declares Irrigation is a fulltime job which should not be neglected, and it should be remembered that putting a shovel into a mans hand doesn t automatic ally make him a good irrigator Sitting water on a field and the n going to town for a halfdav is not irrigating efficiently, Mr. Ivory says. Mr Ivory suggests that farmers having complex lrngation problems consult the soil conservation district supeivisois, or Soil Conservation Sets ice representatives in the r area throughout one-ha- deer hunt..
