Ml E worn FAVOR NATIONA L LD AGE PENH By V. W. WATSON. In an effort to uvoitl uiircasonablo I'Nlii'iiii" in the uo of figures iu coifc licet ion with tho important details of soil tnoieturu, I find thut it is equally posMihlu to be too cotmovntive. On investigation today I discover that the general estimate of the depth of niimturo in the soil concerned in plant production is from eight to ten feet. It will be sufficient in this dis imi .ion to consider the depth of eight feet. At the ralo of 3 per cent of nnjlu tuie to the depth of one foot forVucfc inch of water applied, a fairly heavy irrigation of ix inches would give the full oiI column of eight feet only 18 per cent of moisture. Wo still lack nix inches of water to bring the sat uration up to the maximum, HO per cent. Water added to tho oil by irriga tion distributes itself with great reg iiliuily to eoiiMdoetiblo depths. In ordiiiarv xoila nud where there is no hiih-irrigntion the percentage of iiioIh t in c is tfcuorully tibout one-third Jess At the eight-foot depth than near the Hiiri'uce, until the percentage of tho latter is reduced by evaporation nud the e.Mietion of plant life. I.OKS by Jva)Ki-atJou The rate of nioiutiitu ovnponvtion during the months of greatest sun warmth, including the effect of dessi eaticg winds, will surprise those who have given the matter no study. In California, for instance, evaporation Irom a water surface is 72 inches for six months. That is the highest so lur giwii in any of the states. In the Hogue Itiver valley it is !I0 inches, That is the total of evaporation from a water surface; hut tJic evaporation of soil moisture has been known to be two and a hnlf times greater than tho evaporation from a water surfucc. That extreme difference is iflie to the, higher absorptive capacity of tho soil tor heat found; for instance, iu very dark oiW. In soils of fine to.xture the water moves upward more rapidly to be changed into vapor. Kvaporn tiou is most rapid in the darkest soils. Tin' driest air consume tho greatest quantity of sil moisture. Light olored seils: yield their moisturo much moto reluctantly. Avenging the aoiatnro loanos from the Minoim typo of noil in this val ley, both trom sun heat and dedicat ing Hindu the observations being taken ou tho low land, of tho culti vated are, where tho soil texture is line we find u total of five inches a month in cno iu which irrigation was applied ptftctiriiilly twice a month That is a low estimate. tt'-rator Than tlin Itolnfoll Hence, Vfind Hint tho lima of soil imoisIiiic by evaporation alono during the Miid of the six wannest month n this ni.v is two anil a liMllv'timo u renter than tho total of rHiufall for the entire year, in onvli of tho lat two or Ihreo years.
