PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND. OREGON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1949 Fickes Deplores Waste of Water During Irrigation Madras, Dec. 1 Water loss In the transmission canals between Wickiup reservoir and the North unit has Iweome a serious factor In water supply, according to Pel j-ickcs, U.S. reclamation bureau . Buporvlitor. , Fiqkcs spokp recently to the lYinuros Kiwanls club on water conservation methods and deelar- ed that settlers should eliminate, to the greatest possible extent, the loss of waste water that is allow ed to run away In drainage ditch es. A means of re-use for this water should be provided, he said Fickes cited that the $12,000,000 project is now functioning well toward" capacity. Of the 50.OG0 acres of the project, 47,000 were classed as Irrigable In 1949. Ac tual irrigation was practiced on 42,000 acres, he said. The overall loss on the project, r ickes report ed, is between 25 and 30 per cent, which Is slightly higher than nor mal. He said that 170.184 acre feef came into the project at the south edge of Jefferson county where the main canal crosses the Crooked river gorge by an aque duct. Water users actually re ceived 108,915 acre-feet. With the Wickiup reservoir having a max imum storage capacity of 180,000 acre-feet, Fickes said, normal loss es will bring the total of water for the land down to 2.5 acre-ieet for each of the 50,000 acres. 1 496 Users Fickes reported that the project has 496 water users. Of this number 257 used 2.5 acre-feet or less. However, on one- SO-acre farm the use ran as high as four acre-feet. In this instance the leneth of the distributing ditches were longer than the 400 to 600 feet considered the desirable length. This resulted in the ab normal waste. The actual aver age of water use, Fickes said, was 2.31 acre-feet. However, soms growers bought water for their entire acreage and used if for only a part. Fickes said 2.5 acre feet is considered adequate, un less the land happens to be plant ed to crops that demand a maxi mum of water. Fickes cited that JeaK areas of main canals "are being given atten tion. In instances, he said, leaks in the new canal banks and bot tom are sealing themselves. Weeds cause leaks when allowed to grow on ditch banks, the speak er said, and grasses are being nlnntpM on the canals. Fickes reported ' that 80,000 acre-feet are now stored, in the Wickiup reservoir, giving prom ise of adequate water for the 1950 crop season.

Only a small fraction of their explosive contours actually went off. The rest was wasted. The wartime designs w e r e greatly Improved in the years since Japan surrendered, and bombs "substantially" more pow erful than the old models were tested at Enlwotok In 1948. Sen. Edwin O. Johnson, D Colo., a member of the house-senate atomic energy commit ire, has said they were six time more potent than the "model T's" of 1945. Since the 19-18 tests the bomb design has boon further perfect' til. Last summer a member of the atomic energy commission predicted "a' major Improvement lit the utilization of risslonablc material." Scientists believe this Improve ment might well add up to a bomb 10 times more powerful than the Hiroshima clty wr-'cker.
