Show SPECIAL COURSE OFFERED FOR WATER MASTERS. J Two Weeks of Intensive Work On Irrigation Problems to be Given by V. A. C. J A special course for water masters , is to be given by the department of J Irrigation and Drainage of the Utah Agricultural College during the com- ing winter, according to Professor J O. W. Israelson. This course will be given just following the big Farm- ers' Round-up which will be held at Logan from February 3 to 8. It will run for two weeks and aim, in that time, to give a fundamental know- ledge of correct irrigation practice and to acquaint ithose taking advant- age of the course with the Important irrigation problems of the West. Professor Israelson declares that a most urgent need for such a course exists in this state. "Every irrigation , company in Utah should make it pos- J sible for its water master to attend ' this special course in irrigation," says Professor Israelson. "It would no ! doubt be well for every irrigation ' company, purely as a war measure, ' to depart from its established practice i of choosing a water master during March or April and begin immediate- 1 ly to look for the best available talent to act as water master next year. , "Choosing the water master now ' will give him an opportunity to study 1 at home during the long winter i months practical problems in water measurements, and In capac- ' ities of soils to hold water, and to be- come acquainted with company rules , and regulations and other problems j vitally concerned with the state's 1 water supply. Just what Utah's most perplexing irrigation problems are, and how to study them will be fea- ' tures of the special course for water i masters." i |
