ADVISES ABOUT IRRIGATION
Professor Lewis of the O. A.
Points Out Important Facts
In carrying out experiments with ir
rigation, Prof. C. I. Lewis, of the agri
cultural experiment station at Corval
lis, Oregon, found that in "all cases
cultivation Is a most Important feat
ure In connection with irrigation. If
the ground Is given thorough cultiva
tion in spring and a mulch maintain
ed during the growing season, the
soil will be in a better condition to re
ceive the water, and a more economi
cal use of the water Is allowed. Irriga
tion should merely supplement good
tillage, and the Importance of thorough
tillage during the growing season can
not be overestimated.
"Cood drainage, natural or artific
ial. Is necessary where large amounts
of irrigation waters are used. Where
the drainage is poor seepage waters
and alkali often destroy many of the
orchards. Often the excess irrigation
does not Injure the lands of the man
practicing it.but those of his neighbors
at a lower level.
"We found the temperature of the
water to be a subject requiring more
attention. With well water there Is
a tendency toward fairly constant tem
perature throughout the season. It may
be made to increase its temperature,
however, quite materially by various
mthods of distribution. In one test
we found that the water increased 8.5
degrees In flowing In open furrows
from the well to the point of distribu
tion. It was still further increased
In passing through the distribution
rills In the orchard. There was a much
greater Increase In the afternoon than
In the morning.
"When the water was used from a
large Irrigation ditch during July and
August, the water was found to be of
the same temperature as the soil early
in the morning, but was greatly Increa
ed In the afternoon, In some cases 15.5
degrees over the morning tempera
ture. This would mean, where the soil
tended to be a little heavy or where
the water tended to run a little too
cold that injury would result from lrrl
tlon." Money to Loan
Amounts $500 to $1500. First class
real estate security. Will also buy
mortgages for like amounts. j
