IRRIGATION
The American faimer first
heard abort irrigation from the
soldiers who belonged to our
array that invaded Mexico nearljr
nity years ' ego. These ineil,
among the maoy strange and
wonderful things about which
they talked, told of irrigation as
carried on by the Mexican
farmers, but no body then
thought it would ever be con
sidered a practical process - for
American farmers to immitate
and that millions of dollars
would be invested in irrigating
plants in the United States
Our forefathers came from the
low lands of England; the allu
vial lands of Germany or bogs ol
Ireland and inherited ideas and
skill in ditching to get rid of
surplus water but had lo tradi
tions about irriga iiig. This
being . the case the American
farmer has been slow to appreci
ate the benefits of inigation.
and a very great proportion of
them to this day give hut an
unwilling ear to propositions for
conducting water upon their
land, and are prone to regard
the cost of Irrigation at money
lost.
If our country school would
deviate somewhat from tradition
al ruts and teach children more
about "how plants grow" and
the important part that water
has in vegetable growth our
farmers woald not be so indif
ferent to the best and most re
liable means of supplying
moisture to meet the absolute
demands of a growing crop. A
crop of growing wheat will ab
sotb Iroml the soil end throw
out through the green blades a
quantity of water equal to the
whole weight of the plant, each
twenty four hours during the
period ot growth, and broad
leaved plauts require much
more. Experiments carefully
made i how that a plant of
spearmint absorbs more than
twice its own weight of water in
a dky from the' soil and throws
it out through its leaves.
This water, to keep the sap in
the plant of the proper consist
ency for circulation, must be oo
hand dorinj the growing season
or the plant cannot grow. In
a climate like that of Grande
Ronde valley where the uatural
water fall is not in the growing
season much ol the soil fails to
have a storage of water sufficient
to meet ihe demands of a grow
ing crop there is a wilting dur
ing many of the summer days,
Thin wiltiug is a cessation of
growth and causes a dimution
of the crop.
In addition lo enough water
to keep the sap thin enough to
circulate and supply tie lots
from trauspiration water is uec
essary to make the ripen. d
graiu fruits or vegetables. In
every hundred - pounds of
marketable wheat there ere
fourteen pounds of water and in
one hand red pounds of wheat
straw theie are twenty six
nnnnda tit walar. Thr are
seventy five pounds of water in
one hundred pouuds of potatoes.
Une hundred pounds of ripe
apples or penrs have eighty
three pounds of. water. Red
beets are eighty five per cent
wa'er, strawberries and goose
berries ninety per cent water,
turnips ninety three per cent
water and ' watermelons ninety
five per cent water.
It is evident that the city fire
department needs re-organising
and the matter should not drift
as it is nntil we have suffered a
needless conflagation. In re
si onse to the alarm this morn
ing only one can as takeu to
the scene of the fire and then it
only had 250 feet of hose in-,
stead of 600 as : it should
nave baa. rot the put two
years the department has not
been op to standard and . steps
should - be - taken to inke it
such. " ' " ' ' :' '". '
