Redmond is to, be congratulated
.ipon her good fortune in striking
tch a fine supply of clear, cold
.vatcr in the deep well there. It
yans much to the health and cont
ort of Redmond reidents and will
make life in that prosperous little
urg much more plcayaut. Water
'ij through an open ditch nnd
the tlurntomcter registering sev
ral degrees above t. soon reach
s a condition thai makes it a most
unpleasant beverage, to speak in
mild terms. And furthermore, an
1 pen ditch is bound to collect more
r less impure matter. This can
be largely remedied and the impur
ty eliminated by filtering and boil
ng, but nothing can compare
.iqtially with the wst'er.froru a deep
well. Redmond is indeed ito be
ongratulated on her good luck..
The finding of water not only
rupplies Redmond with purer and
better water, but it means much to
this entire section, of Central Ore
t jon-. Ieretoforc it has been a dc-
jatable question as to whether wat
er co.uldjjjq bund ty; deep drilling.
K Tlr t c3 be so fouvdjs now prac

,vearsto come, deep wells will be
Ipomtnon all over the segregation,

, The desert in Crook county is

It is bound to be conquered, by the

Problems that Confront The Irrigator.
Some Hints About Furrows
IRRIGATION VKOM SMAI.I, t'l'RKOWS
Thin system of applying water is
especially adapted toconiiMet, clay-
ev soils. Such Soils me apt to bake
when wet, and the only way iu
which this may bo ti vet ted is to
apply the water in such ti way that
the surface is not wet In laying
out a system l small furrows the
fi)d is brought to a comparatively
uniform slope, and after the crop is
scederi'small furrows 2 to . iuchc
deep ate rtln in the direction of the
slope at iutervuU of so 10.15 inches.
These small furrows are supplied
from n head ditch across one border
of the Held. Water is admitted to
each furrow thrntiKh n small sjwut,
usually made of hull. 1 heso sikiuis
extend through the ditch bank and
allow small streams to cuter the
heads of the furrows, n number of
streams being kept running nt the
same time. From oue irrigating
stream of 2 cubic feet per second,
perhaps 30 to 40 furrows will be
supplied From the small furrows
the water soaks away on cither side
until the strips of soil between arc
sufficiently wet. In this w.iy water
is supplied to the roots of the crop
without the surface becoming satu
rated, and all danger of baking is
averted.
This method is of value also- in
handling a smalt stream of watti"1
on land in. which water spreads well.
A small stream of water may be set
and left without further attention
until the space between furrows be
comes thoroughly soaked. When
the uirrows in a field become set
little attention is required to obtain
the proper distribution orthc water,
The distance between furrows de-
pends on the ease with which the
water saturates the soil.. Thii -will
be found to vary quite widK",
The
rapidity or percolation also gives a
key to the best length of lurrows.
With furrows of too great a length
the soil next to the head ditch will
become too wet before the soil at
the lower end has received sufficient
water.. In general .terms furrows
should be hot lotigVr than 15 or 20
rods. 1
The advantages of this method
arc; The surface soil is not so ant
to bake; a small head of water may
be economically handled; there is
less loss of water by evaporation
than with flooding. The disadvan
tages are: The difficulty of main
taining an equal flow in all furrows;
where the soil is not uniform in tex
ture an even distribution is hard to
securc;thc upper end of the field is
likely to receive more water than it
requires; the furrows interfere with
cutting and Hauling the crop.
A modification of the small-lur-row
method has been used in irri
gating grain in Utah. The plant
ed area is gone over with what is
called a "marker," which-consists
usually of an 8-inch log, 8 or 10
feet long, to which is attached a
tongue and doubletrees. Wooden
blades or teeth 2 to 3 inchss wide
and 12 to 1 0 inches long are insert
ed in the log atld the whole forms a
comb-like implement which makes
the furrows 2 to 3 inches deep,
The usual spacing of the teeth 111
the lo? is 19 to s, incites.
Many mark the field alter sowing,
rwhile others tvait until the grain is
up. At intervals of 2 to 3 rods
writer is turned from the laterals on
to the the fields and directed into
the small channels made by the
markor However, the water is
not confined to the furrows, but is
allowed lo- overflow them. The
furrows ser e ouly as guides to car
ry the water to nil parts of the field
thus insuring an evc,u distribution.
Where the small furrows are made
across the slope they aid in distrib
uting the water transversely nnd n
larger stream may be lnl:cnw.if out
the main lateral. Where the marks
ruti'7ith the slope more attention
I is required, to pteveut them washing
into large channels and Dt coming
collectors rather than distributers of
the water. . In-some instances the
marker is run in such a direction
as to place-.the channels 011 a slight
grade This method gives perhaps
the best ir.shlls. Mitring the first
irrigation cloie attctrj'oii ihttst be
given to the distribution, niid-earth
must be put here and there 111 'ihe

irrigate the tt net.
The main distributing laterals iu
the field should be. placed 10 to 20
rods ftMit, depending upon the
slope of the laud ntid the nature of
the soil, and may be given grades
of one-half inch to an inch cr rod
ltach lateral should carry 2 to cu
bic feet o- water per second, as one
man can usually lumdlcthis volume
with ease after getting the stream
set.
A lfjw Pointers on Alfalfa (Irowlng.
Kxcess ol water. -An excess of
wntcr iu the soil is very unfavorable
condition for alfalfa. Where the
water level k near the surface, or
where the surface water from heavy
rains is unable to drain oft' rrpldly,
alfalfa usually fails. For this reas
on an alfalfa field is injured by
being submerged from an overflow
or even killed if the water icmains
over the surface for too long n je
riod. Kx-K-ricncc has shown that
when covered by clear running wat
er the injury is much less than
wlteu n scdiiUcut is deposited or the
water is stagnant. Ordinarily al
falfa will not withstand nu overflow
of more than n few days. Flooding
iu the winter is less injurious than
during the growing season. On
irrigated fields injury often follows
from the accumulation of water in
depressions after n flooding. The
alfalfa is killed out iu these spots
and noxious weeds gain a foothold.
t.'ATL'RU or St'llSOII..
It is generally stated that alfalfa
requires a irarous subsoil, but this
statement must be modified. If the
subsoil is near the surface and is of
(such a nature ns to prevent the en
trance of alfalfa roots, alfalfa will
probably fail: but many of the so-
called impervious subsoils allow the
roots to penetrate. The effect of
the subsoil seems to depend
on how
it effects drainage and the texture
and fertility of the surface soil.
The reports of succcsfu! alfalfa
fields upon subsoils of gumbo, hard-
pan, and stiff clay arc too numerous
to disregard. Near Syracuse, N.
V., there is an alfalfa field growing
upon a rocky hill where the coating
of soil is only 2 to 4 inches iu deptlu
l lie success under such apparently
adverse conditions is due to the fact
that the roots are able to penetrate!
the numerous vertical cracks in the
rock.
N'KHD OK HKRTII.ITV.
An important condition and one
which is likely to be lacking iu
many of the worn-out eastern soils
is fertility. It is very essential
that the soil be in the condition us
ually described as fertile. This re
fers not only to the presence of the
required mineral elements but to
humus and to a favorable texture.
It is not worth while attempting to
grow alfalfa uponsterile soil, Such
soil should be enriched by the barn
yard manure or other fertilizer or
by the plowing under ol leguminous
crops. Compact, cold, or wet soil
is unfavorable to the grouth of al
falfa, and such soil should be
drained and thoroughly aerated by
cultivation to reduce it to the proper
texture. Sandy soil is usually not
well adapted to alfalfa, partly be
cause it may be sterile, lacking in
humus, or too loose iu texture. If
u stand is once obtained the crop
may not suffer from lack of moist
tire, as there is usually a water sup
ply below the surface. In the
Southern states sandy soil is so fav
orable to the growth of crab grass
and other weeds that alfalfa is soon
choked out- In general, it is well to
prepare sandy soil by incorporating
humus and fertilizing and by suit
able culture to free from weeds.
