farms in different parts of Idaho and then divide each tract Into three different different parts and apply amounts of water to each one Water was measured and varied In this manner on sixty different- farms during 1910 and on as many more during the past season Several factors In regard to the use of water have been very the principal strongly emphasized ones being that the amount of water (1) The required depends upon: The character of the soli and texture of the soil as regards porosity has more to do with the amount of water used than any other one 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 Instances from one to two acre feet are quired to spread over and thoroughly Irrigate an acre of very gravelly soil At least of this latter amount is almost invariably wasted as it either passes into the ground water or per colatea beyond the reach of the plant roots If coarse soil Is underlaid with an Impervious stratum tha is mamount of water necessary aterially cut down while If the Impervious stratum is lacking some Irrigation system must be used which will flood the ground quickly before the water has time to penetrate too (Jeep ly If a high duty Is to be secured Conditions — The an(2) Climatic nual precipitation and Its seasonal distribution together with the temperature humidity and wind movement all have a very evident effect upon the amount of water required Farm Diversification of (3) CropB — Where a farm is all devoted to one crop such as grain hay or tatoes the greatest need for water usually falls within a comparatively Short time and thers Is but little use for It during the regt of the season his crops the while by diversifying farmer’s need for water will be more able to constant and he is better make good use of a continuous flow of the ditch throughout the season (4) Use of Rotation— It is well little known to most Irrigators can be accomplished by lrlgating with small heads of water and a much from is use and secured better larger the water where larger heads can be used Rotation systems by means of which a farmer can exchange water and ubo with his neighbor larger heads for shorter periods are now 'being used with success in many calities and the saving of water Is more or less watsr Duty and Measurement of Water The

as knife edge nearly possible and by keeping the sides and bottom of the box below the weir at a good distance from the falling stream eo 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 and the discharge will be affected It air can pass freely underneath the issuing stream the level of the water below the weir has no Influence An observance of on the discharge the following rules will usually insure complete contraction 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 side and sharp edge on the the walla should be beveled away on side the c The distance of the crest of tbe weir from the bottom of the bo 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 he at least twice bb great aa the depth of the water flowing over the crest In e order that the lateral com traction should not be disturbed the length of the weir crest should be three times that of the aproximately depth of water flowing over It 5 The depth of water flowing over the weir should not be less than two of the inches nor more than length of the crest and It should be measured where it will not be affectwind or eddies and far ed by waves enough up stream so that It will not Inbe influenced by the curvature 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 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 of approach and this must be a good guarded against by providing 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 below Do not set it immediately or too close to a head gate where the water has high velocity as by so doing 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-toland will cut down the discharge Do not set the weir 4 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 the crest depth on the crest of length 6 Do not allow the peol above the weir to fill up with sediment as the in the cross secdecreaseresulting tion will increase the velocity of approach 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 water that should be applied to the different soils and crops in order to make the greatest possible yield has always been a serious probIt has always lem to all irrigators been known that In order to secure the biggest possible crop It Is necesamounts to sary to apply different different crops and to different soils with the same crop but just how much this amount should be has never been known only In an Indefinite way The Irrigation Investigations dewhich I represent in the partmentstate of Idaho has in office been with the state engineer 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 conhave These experiments cerning It all been carried out on comparatively large areas and In a practical way It does not give any Indication of for how much water Is necessary on any maximum crop production the amount soil to merely measure that some farmer applies for the reason that the same or a larger crop might have been produced with either Giving Him a Chance Little Bryda had been naughty and was to

ef crop Spring grains their short season of growth requires less water than alfalfa considerably which grows from early spring until late fall Winter grains all other things being equal require less irrigation water than spring grains because of their ability to utilize more of the moisture deposited In the soli A crop from winter precipitation that can be cultivated will need con siderably less water than a one because ot the great saving that can be made by the reduction of the evaporation through cultivation It Is as easy to apply too much water as It Is to apply too little and The experievery bit as harmful ments carried on thirf year at Gooding show up the results of very clearly We had twenty-ondifferent plots of wheat consisting of three varieties of seven plots These were planted and handeach led in exactly the same manner e 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 thethree series ol all the way from plots was varied upon the first plot of each nothing series to an average depth of ap feet two and a half proximately where the greatest amount was ap where With the dry farming piled no water was appMed the yield was acre 1000 pounds per aproximately As the amount of water was increased the yield also increased until the plot of approxian application receiving mately 17 feet made a yield of 1800 pounds per aero after which the yield until the plot re decreased rapidly of from 16 to ceiving an application 17 feet yielded less on the average than that which received no water at all This shows strikingly the effects on wheat and shows of as do all of the other exin addition periments that we have carried on that Bprlng grains do not require and Alfalfa much clover water throughout all of the experiments have responded to tha use of larger been amounts of water and have found to require fully 50 per cent The one thing that more than grains has been emphasized throughout all careful of the experiments is that preparation of the ground for the rigation at the outset pays large returns upon the amount of money Invested
