Much Dreaded Evaporation Can Be Avoided by Using Water in Reser- voir During Early Months and Then Filling Again. inui-- water ill; you waste dur- ing the lust run? Didn't wasti any not u drop got out of my field." ThU tuny Ik true and still you wasted water. It went down instead of off and whenever water soaks down one, two. yes, even five feet in eikis, it is wasted. This ran only be avoided by mure careful preparation of the ground. In California I found the bottom and sides of many supply laterals cennnted and the fields were prepared as carefully as a lawn tennis ground In Colorado. This was true even In the alfalfa fields. The old middle furrows and bark furrows were entirely obliterated, men worked over the fields wlih luu.d graders aficr the levels had been used, and every depression was tilled and every knoli leveled. The result was that when water was turned on it spread as on a floor. In Colorado the irrigator Is waiting half the time for his head of water to wet up the high sis, is. forgetting that all this time the water is Injuring the crop on the low spots and v. Ill in time ruin the land. When we get down to thorough intensive farming and gardening our whole country will change Its nature ami atqiciranro.

With our present water facilities kept In good repair and under careful supervision, there is no excuse for lack of water even In ihe drvest seasons. Rome water should be in the canal nil the time during the pluming and seeding months of spring. If a reservoir is filled n winter the e is no need of lei ting it seep and evaporate during the hot season use it up first say in April and May. It can be again filled In June for August irrigation. Ily this means the dreaded evaporation so much talked about All we need to could be avoided. make this fair and rich lav of land blossom as the rose Is a little practical management. I often wonder why people do not mulch more In their gardens and around lawn shrubs and plants. The benefits are two-folFirst, If manure Is used It leaches into the soil and fertilizes It. Second, It keeps the surface roots moist and hence vigorous. In the hot sandy lands of Florida advantage Is taken In a similar manner by idling leaves weighted down around the plants, thus conserving 1h- - moisture as well ns protecting the routs from the excessive bent of the sun. An excellent way to keep mid strnwhi rry plants productive thrifty ?s to make quite deep furrows br tween the rows and fill them with strawy stable manure, well tram tied down. This will keep down the wnda as well ns fertilize the plants nnd tie same rule npidies quite us well to all the bush fruit.

Mr. Milo 11.

For instance, at Ames, la , irrigation was necessary IIP) days during ibis period; Oshkosh, Wig., days; Vino- land, X. J., 252 days; Columbia, S. C., 508 days, and Selma. Ala., 721 days. Air. YViilituns arrives at this conclusion by determining that (Tops need water after every dry period of not less than 15 days, so that each and every day Included In the table represents periods tiint tbe drougiu extended over the y period. While the humid region fanner lias uoi the largest water supplies that may be available for the arid land farmer, he has many smaller streams which may be developed cheaply. Streams varying in size front creeks to large rivers are usually available for pumping purposes; ponds and lakes have few oilier cue than for irrigation.
