Ttie Supplemental Value of Irrigation.
BY PR. JOK.N A WIltTOOK, IN THK
IRRIGATION AUK.
There arc two distinct phases to
tb work of reclaiming our desert
lands by irrigation. The impound
ing and distribution of waters by
mirhty dams ami canal form the
lust; and the proper and economi
cal use of the water on the farms,
the second. The former of neces
sity precedes the latter, but when
the labor expended on the vast ir
rigated atius, and the possible re
tcr, a little lew than four-tenths of
an acre inch would lie sufficient to
produce one bushel of wheat cr
acre. With a precipitation of 11
inches a little more than 30 bushels
of wheat per acre should be pro
diked, if all the water that fulls
soaks into the soil. Naturally, this
is far from being true, and the crop
producing power of the natural pre
cipitation is corresitondniKly de
creased. yet. by proper methods
of sod treatment one-half to three
lourths of the precipitation should
casilv be stored 111 the soil and be
suiting crops, are stutcd in dollars t kept there until required by plant

Elsewhere in this issue .will be
iound an article telling the good
work being done by the govern
ment and state of Idaho in estab
lishing a model farm and experi
ment station near Caldwell. Idaho.
Professor Elias Nelson, the youu?
man formerly in charge of the D.
I. & P. Co.'s experiment station
near Bend, has charge of much of
.the work of establishing this new
experiment farm. These model
farms are just what Central Oregon
wants and needs a place where the
farmers can see practical-fiinonstra-tions
of new and better methods of
soil cultivation.

Broi.,, Myers tco exception to a
.statement, made by The Bulletin

have been credited to Laidlaw. Now
what must be Bro. Myers' disgust
aud chagrin when he reads an elab
orate write-up in the Pendleton pa
pers of the excellent display of farm
products made by J. N. B. Gerk
iug, at Pendleton's receut fair, said
products having been grown on Mr.
Gerking's irrigated, land "near
Bend, Oregon." Mr. Gerking's
ranch is one ot the gem ranches in
the Laidlaw country. The Bulle
tin is vindicated. Why, of course,
the Bend country is the only one
that people consider when they
think of Central Oregon.

to get out tfcetrfearreis and tasks and go
to hauling water. This il a Jcnt. hard
ship on the settlers for the 'reiiort that,
they have to neglect so muck of hefr
farm work in order to keep a supply of
water on hand. Should the company
build a new caoal from the Tumalo

tlers about all winter.
McCallistcr Bros, arc making great
headway in building their large ditch.
We hear much blasting in that direction
which indicates that tbey have some
heavy rock work on tin: line of

ditch and plenty of water when it is
completed.

and cents, it can not be denied that
the oroper ue of the irritation
water is, financially, superior to the
money in vested in the construction
of the dams ami canals The ac
cumulated effect of errors in the
use of water, in one yeat, may eas
ily equal a large proportion of the
total cost of the works under which
the lands lie.
At the preent time much is said
about the reservoirs and canals to
be built; unfortunately, much Its
is said about the relation qf water
to soils and crops. The e.xtentioii
of our knowledge of the farmer's
Mde of irrigation should go band in
band with the engineer's work. If
this be not done much low will in
evitably follow.

to produce as hlh as 35 bushels of
wheat every other year villi an an
nual rainfall of about H inches.
Keeping 111 tniml this rather high
crop-producing power of the natur
al precipitation, It is certainly prop
er to assert that the first considera
tion of the irrigation farmer .should
be tbe conservation of the rain and
snowfall on his farm. With six to
12 acre inches of wnttr in the soil
in the spring the irrigation farmer
docs not need vry much more wat
er to mature any ordinary crop. On
such a soil irrigation should be ap
plied only at the critical periods in
mid- ami late aummer. In short,
irrigation should be supplemental
only to the natural precipitation.

CIPITATION. Especially in the fa.r East, but al
so among" our own .(western people,
the myth has becotee current that
crops con not be produced profit
ably on our western deserts without
irrigation. It is only within the
last few years that .this idea has
been shown to reft on unreliable
foundation. Kam and snow fell
upon tbe western deserts. Along
the edtss of the Great Basin, for
example, the annual precipitation
varies-from 12 to 18 inches, and it
seldom' falls lower than eight in
ches at any place in the Basin region-.

The failure to appreciate this
principle has led to much disaster

that the irrigation stream is only
supplemental to rain nnd snowfall.
HOW TO i-ONSKKVK TJIK XATCKAI.
.lytlfclPITATIOX.
To conserve the natural precipi
tation the western farmers must
practice fall plowing, and in the
spring the top soil must be careful
ly stirred and smoothed to prevent
the evaporation of soil water. More
over, since land is plentiful aud
water is scarce, it would lie well to
let a ortiou of laud lie fallow every
year, lor tnc purpose 01 garnering
two years' precipitation for the use
of one crop.' Were the annual crops
of the West'planted on fall plowed
fallow soils, there would be general
need of irrigation water only nt tbe
late critical periods. The argu
ments against fallowing, urged 1ri
hhc East, do nt hold in the West,
111 the East soils arc fullowed for
fertility; in tlie West for water.
