Water is the one element nec essary to plant life, which Is under the control of man and the good irri gator can control plant growth with as much certainty, almost, as he can the shape of his buildings. The man who does not understant something of plant growth can never become a good irrigator. Water must be ap plied in a scientific and rational man ner, because it Is the lever which con trols production. Moi.sture, air, heat and plant food are the elements which control plant growth. Water Is the vehicle which tarries food to the plant. Descending Into the soil it dis solves the chemical food elements and rising by capillary attraction, car ries that food to the plants. Bear In mind that it Is not the water going into the soil, but that coming up which feeds the plant. Plants should grow continuously from the time the seed sprouts until they mature. If they are supplied with moisture In the right quantity and In the right way, they will do so. If the soli Is saturated with water to vuch an extent as to expel the air, the growth of the plant Is checked. This W one reason why Irrigation by the corrugation method, or in small trenches, Is preferable to flooding. Iar In mind never to keep the. soil saturated. Water In the soil formB In thin layers around the soil particles. If these particles are cubes with inch surfaces, there would be a film of p ater on ail sides of the cubes. If this cube were pulverized, or changed t.. a powder, there would be as many r.ims as there are veil particles. There fore a fine soil will hold more mois ture than a coarse soil, because there sue more interstices to be filled. Ten per cent of moisture In these Inter stices and a balance of air Is about the Ideal proportion. COFFEE The dealing is simple. If you don't like Schil l ling's Best, "it costs you r nothing. Your (rocr rctnro. roar moatr If Tog das 'I X it; w par his Thus good cultivation, in having ti e soil well pulverized, is an aid to ood irrigation. The roots of a plant are always larger than its top. That is, the roots extend further Into tiv ground than Its top above It. The roots may run along near the surface or may be made to penetrate deep into the soil. If the soil is kept wet when the plants begin to grow, their roots will keep near the surface. But if moisture Is withheld, the plants will hunt for It, the same as an animal, and send their roots deep after It. The deeper the toots go the larger the feeding ground of the plant, and the thriftier the plant will be. Thus, by the application of water, the Irrigator may benefit or injure plant grAwth. A plant with roots r.ear the surface will require frequent irrigation.. One deep-rooted requires Hch less water. Thus by starting 5h tVio rTratnr mnv elthpp make or save himself work. As between the corrugating or flooding methods, he preferred the former, for two reasons; a better and, quicker distribution of water, and less liability of checking plant growth. In the corrugating or furrow method, furrows three or four inches deep, and two feet apart, should be made in the field Immediately after planting, be fore the seeds sprout. These furrows readily conduct the water, carrying it across a field in much less time than when flooding is resorted to, and dis tribute the water more easily. The rise of an Inch or two In a few square rods of ground Is scarcely noticeable. Yet water cannot be forced upon such ground without Impounding It by dams and making the low placeB too wet while the high ones are getting moisture enough to make the plants grow., Where a furrow tour mones deep is made through such high places th watr flows without Interruption, and soaks in about 1 2hours from one corrugation to another, leaving the surface generally dry, and supplying ihe water to the roots where it Is needed. The best results are obtained. In permanent ditches by placing sprouts made by nailing latn logemer, in me sides of the ditches to take the water from the ditch to the corrugations. One spout will supply two corruga tions. These spouts should De piacea Im the side of trie ditch, about one Inch or so below the water level when the gates are closed. For Instance, say the fall Is two feet to the halt mile, and your ditch 18 Inches deep. en I of the ditch it would nack water up only three-fourths along or across the field. But begin about 200 yards .ruin I'M: upper end of the ditch, and ; v.: !:i i gate that can be raised and . . n-.i. but imt quite as high as the rrnks of the ditch, so that water will jun over the headgate or as many as in' ivjuired. The greater the fall the more gates required. When you .v.uit water close the gates and raise the water above the spouts. When through, raise the gates, the water li.vc! falls, and the water harmlessly piixsi'.-i away. When ditcius are con strutted this way It Is a pleasure to liigate and requires little time. In preparing your ground for irrltfn- 1 tion (for permanent fields) do it right. Made right once, it Is always right. If no more then 10 acres can be pre pared In olid year, do it light, because it will pay In the long run. Have your land level. By level is meant free from knolls, with a slope. Water cannot be made to run up hill. If the slope Is too great .run the corruga tions around the slope In steep places or parallel with the ditches as near as may be necessary, instead of from it. A fall of an inch to a rod makes a good flod for corrugations. When the land Is quite level and has a gradual fall to the southeast, with the water coming upon the land at the highest point, the northeast corner. Construct a ditch clear around the tract, with gates so that the water can be flowed westward and fed through spouts to the northern part of the field, the surplus part of the water passing away In the ditch on the west. The surplus water on the field will be caught in a cross ditch, a third of the way down the field, and may be used to water the central part of the field or allowed to waste In the ditch on the west, or if It la desired to wa ter the middle or lower parts of the field the water can be turned down the ditch to the east, and forced Into either cross ditch as desired, and the water confined to the land Intended to be watered. If a field cannot be prop ly laid out without the services of an engineer it will be much cheaper to get one than to try and get along In a slipshod manner by attempting to drive the water where you want It with a shovel. Irrigating is easy where the ditches are properly laid out. Where they are not, it Is slavery. l"n less the soil has moisture suffi cient to bring grain up and keep It iliilving until I: Is in the milky stage, irrigate before planting. Irrigate again In the milky stage, and with ordinary sell this should be sufficient to ma ture the crop. When the soil five or Fix Inches below, the surface wlli re main In a ball when squeezedlir the hand It does not need water. If not. It Is time to Irrigate. Ill ,1 III Co-rurtncrsliip Dissolution.
