AMOUNT OF WATER
NEEDED FOR CROPS
Mux MoPorion of IV' in I'ulU, lcln
ho, who hug chargo of the exporl
mental fiirm at thut phice, delivered an
iiililrBH at the DoiHB Irrigation con
great on the snhjoet " Iho Duty ot
Wutor and the l!ee;t Mthodn of An-
t t y I ii tr It," lie mid: Tho noil on the
Twin Falls tmot in commonly eoiiHid
ered tt be of volnunto oriiiin, vary
ing trom two fuut to iiii unknown
depth, oonaiHting of very flue piirtl
Olei. Whon we botfim work 'on the Twin
FttlU experimental mnu in l'JOii, we
dug proHpoot holes to determine the
eharaoter of the noil, mill tho amount
of molttture present. The only d I M or
eno, we otwerved In the noil wax that
the Hist foot watt aoinnwhut darker in
color. With regard to nioiriture the
1) i-Ht 18 Inohna contained noma moint
lire, but below It was prufuutly dry,
omiHeiiiBntly we irrigated before
pluutiiiK. It required 21 to .'111 lumi'H
to saturate to a depth varying from
.even to 10 inches. No olfoit wan
made to iotorinino tho quantity of
water uhb I during the hhuhou nt'tur
that. TbU year (l'JOii) it wac deter
mined to measure the amount of wat
er UHod on the farm, and the amount
running olt uh wiiNte, aa well as lie
evupoiatlou, with a view to determine
the quantity of water ueroHnary to
keep the loll lu pro, or mindiuot .
The minor's inch wan iiHed in mem
uring half a cubic foot per Heiond for
the farm, and a devieo way euiliyid
in connection to uliviate nu.v llucl
nation in the head. A weir with an
automatic register attached whh uhimI
an a check on tho millet's iiieh niin
uremeut iu order that we might I e
sure that just, the amount ol' watei
desired was supplied.
At the lower end of the farm a weir
register wan liiHtallud for nieaHuriiig
the WBHte. Ellis Nelson, of the bu
reau of Irrigation ami drainage in
vestigation, added an evaporating
tank.
We began Irrigating May 'i, wih the
amount of water allowed under the
contract between the sol t iers and the
Twin Falls Land & Water company
that la, 1-HO of a cubic foot per tec
ond per acre, conttnoiis How.
The amount of water supplied dor
lug esob month up to tho tlrut of Sep
tember, 1000, is given below, an well
an the w into and evaporation:
Total amount applied, 110. 10 inches;
total percentage, 100 plus.
Total amount precipitation, 0; total
percentage, 12.4.
Total amount wasted, 4.9; total per
centage, 7.1.
Total amount evaporated, 2.00; to
tal preceutage, 77.7.
Total per oeut wasted, 7. 1.
Total per cent evaporated, 77.7.
Total nllference (or water retained I
by the soil), 15. ti'.U inches; l.'i.H cent.
The waste during the month of .Inly j
as greater than any other mouth.
Thin occurred while we were irrigat j
ing the lower tier of plats, anil no up
portuuity was ullorded whereby wo
could again use tho waste. The faun j
consists of 40 acies, and being an j
perimental farm, thero are a great '
many dillerent crops grown, re.niir
ing water at dillerent times and iu
various quantities.
Tho evaporation almost equaled the
amount of water applied during this ;
mouth, less the waste and evaporation '
as shown by the evaporating tank.
Assuming that the evaporation from j
the water free surface in the tank na
equal to the amount evaporated from ,
the ground, plus the amount used by ',
the crops, we can have some idea ot
the amount of water actually requit
ed. No doubt if less water had been
applied, the results, as far as the crop ;
Croduction is concerned, would have
een the same or greater, as whs in
dictated by son) a tests made by Mr. j
Nelson, showing that the third loot of
oil lost much less moisture in a giv
en time than the first or sec-ond foot.
The roots of certain crops penetrate j
to a depth where they would be ulilii to
draw upon tho moisture to a greater
iloptb Hum the shallow route I 01104.
If all tho crops grown had been ol
the kind that could have been culti
vated, thus conserving the moistuie,
1 am sine much less watei would have
been lequii'od.
Taking the four months, or 122 days
as the in igatiug season, we used wat
er 21 days, 11 hours iu May, 20 daysiu
June, 22 days '.I hours in July, and 2:1
days and 1 hours 111 August, leaving
20', days during Hie in igatiug soa-tou
when water was not usod.
Those results show that THO of a
cubic foot per Sucoud ooutiuuouM flow
is more than necessary at Twin I alls,
whuro the soil is very deep.
1 believe if tho land wee given 8
thorough irrigation lute in the fall,
thus storing t'ie moisture in the soil
for use the following year, it would
he a groat saving of time and labor,
and materially lesson the amount of
water used dining the irrigating sea
sou, besides being more ecnunmiot.1,
and as tho surrounding areas become
moistened through irrigation, will)
pr )per cultovul methods, less and less
water will bo necessary each year un
til half the amount used tliis year will
he sulllcient.

Your
-iHealth
Is your best nsset. Proper health is most
essenl i: il to your happiness and welfare.
Pure air is an absolute necessity, and no
effort should be spared to keep it so in every
house.
AVhere open-flame illuminants rob the air
of oxigen and turn it into carbonic acid gns,
pure air is an impossibility.
Air poisoned by the flame of u gas jet, or
that of an oil lamp is unfit for breathing
purposes and exercises a decidedly injurious
effect upon the occupant of the room.
Electric Light burning in an air-tight, bulb
leaves the air of the room pure and fresh,
and furnishes a better, brighter and safer
light than any other medium.
