The issue between irrigatimi ahd cultivation arose nt the very begin niug of systematic fruit glowing in California. No udcmiatc under- standing of the tillage principles involved was then exhibited; the empirical discovery of the lacts wai a surprise; the quick and wide use of the facts constitutes one of ninny striking illustrations of the versa tility bftlie American mind iu deal in? with the strange phenomena of an arid region, which has market) the'idvanccment of Calfornia ngfi culture. The experience of Calit fornia fruit growers in the matter of tillage ns related to moisture conservation and to stimulation of plant growth affords unique and emphatic Illustration of the 'priird pies laid down by our best writers on these subjects. As these writ ings are readily accessible, attcn tion will be paid rather to the effec tiveness, of proper cultural methods, as learned by experience, which are widelv applicable, even beyond the arid region in which they have secured adoption. Lomtuou observation showed at the beginning that fruit trees and vines, if well planted during their dormancy in the wet season, would make a fine growth in the spring and continue it during the early part of the dry season, but would suffer, and in some cases actually perish as the dry season advanced, because the soil would become so dry to a depth of .several feet that the root hairs would die and con tinued evaporation from the leaf surface would extract every part icle of moisture from branch nud root and destroy the young tree. If uic sou were ncavy, it became as hard as a rock, so that a post hole could be dug only with n crowbar; if it were light, it would lose nil adhesiveness and become cither ashy or sandy. In both cases the soil would become not only dry, but not, aud incapable ot maintain ing plant growth. On the other hand, iu places only a ithort dis tance aw?y, 011 the same soils, ; where the surface had been mel I lowed after the late rains had com ipacted the surface, directly opposite J behavior of the plants w.ib seen; j growth was continued in good form aud color, fruit was carried I to astonishing size, aud the trees and vines were thrilty and vigor ous during months of cloudless skies, hot sunshine, and dry air. i lie suggestion or such n contrast was speedily made use of, and tht discovery that better fruit could be grown by surface tillage than by 1 lie o.u rip in is It quently running hard surface was thusiasm.

I;iom this early auuouucciucut of the efficacy of tillage ol orchard and vineyard the resort to plow aud cultivator became general, and nearly naif a century of experience justifies the conclusion that ade quate cultivation obviates the 0. necessity of irrication, providing , (1) there is sufficient rainfall or ui'derflow at any season to support ayear'.S cmwth mid friiharre: (nt ; there is su!Jcicnt rctentiveiicss in ; the soil to hold Water from cvanor- ation or leaching; (3 there is suf fie'ent depth of soil to constitute a reservoir of adequate capacity.

This will vary accord lug tn the nature of the mill and the local topography, but even un der the most favorable condition It is u great loss u 11 lev the talus ate very gentle and occur tit lutetvals. When the soil is hard mid com pacted at the surface it nets as 11 roof aud sheds almost all of the water into the drainage channels. The writer has seen illstuuCcs in which rainfall cuotiih id' send moisture to a depth of several feet has Penetrated only a few inches. Adequate cultivation bcuius. then. with the opening of the surface for reception, and unless this is duttc the game is stop-ted at Its begin ning. The subsoil rcscrvdir will never be filled unless the cover is porous by nature or rcttdcrcU so by coarse tillage nt the bVgiutilui: of the rainy season.' '" Adequate cultivation for water retention means such' trcatmcttl df the surface after the rains have ful len as will reduce evdporatlou to A minimum. A compact surface lay er is not only slow to receive water from above; it is also quick to lose it by surface evaporation as it rises progressively from below The re sult of this loss is the deep drying which is destructive first to root hairs and finally to the whole plant. A loose surface layer prevents this escape of the moisture into the air ami increases in ctiectivcncss ns the soil !.t more and .more finely pulverized aud as the loose layer becomes deeper. Cultivation, then to retain moisture lor the use of the roots of trees and vines during the dry season consists iu main taining a deeply pulverized sur face To secure such n surface pulverizing once is not enough; even though 110 rain may fall, the sur face will become reconducted anil must lie rcpulvcrizcd. Iu a soil thus treated moisture is always present quite near the surface, nud so great is the contrast between this and the deep dryness of an un cultivated soil that the impression currently prevailed thai cultivation produced moisture. It docs not produce it; it merely prevents its oss by surface evaporation. Adequate moisture. hvi d e n tly this condition is fulfilled when the natural moisture thus faithfully conserved Is enough for the season's tieeds of the tree or vine. This moisture may come from rain fall on the -particular area or from rainfall supplemented by under flow from adjacent catchment areas. How can it be told when there is enough? The experience of the arid region is that this can not be answered by measurement of rain fall. There urc many places where an annual rainfall of less than 20 inches is adequate for the full growth aud fruitage of the tree; there arc other places where twice and even thrice that amount will not obviate the necessity of sum mcr irrigation. Tile test of the matter is the behavior of the tree during its full cycle of growth and fruitage. Retentive soil. Another cdudi lion which will render adequate cultivation effective or not is the mechanical character of the soil. The soil must contain enough fine particles to make it hold water well. Kxcessivc fineness makes adequate cultivation difficult; ex cessive coarseness makes cultiva tion ineffective; that is, the soil Will dry out iu spite of it, both by evaporation nnd drainage. The ideal fruit soil is a loam, because it is coarse enough to be cultivated readily and fine enough to prevent the too free access of nir and to prevent Ihc too rapid descent of water by gravity. This favorable condition between coarseness and fineness is prevalent nttiong the predominating light loams ot the arid, region, iu the alluvial soils of Uic liver banks, ancient and .recent and in many of the upland "soils resulting from the decomposition of tnj country rocks, it is the .high est typo of soil for almost "every cultural purpose, nud meets its highest use, perhaps, in the growth of, horticultural products, because they command highest, Values.
