DRAINAGE IS N EEDED I
Apparent in Every Section Where
Irrigation Is Practiced.
Water-Logging of Lands Is Not Con
fined to Any Particular Part
Makes its Appearance Even on
the Bench Lands.
Tho necessity of draining irri
gated lands has become apparent,
not only in every section of our
own nrld west, but in every coun
try whoro irrigation Id practiced. In
dia and Egypt and Spain have tholr
problems and their characteristics aro
much the samo as our own, A con
lorVatlvo estimate boowb that nearly
a million acres ot valunblo land In
the west nro in need of drainage. Tho
watqr-logging of tho Irrigated lands Is
not confined to nny particular section.
It makes Its appearance In tho river
bottoms and In low lying Bwalca and
depressions, as would bo expected, but
It does not stop thero. Tho gentlo
slopes, tho hillsides, yes, even the
bench lands aro attacked.
I onco saw a tule swamn on a
hlllsldo that had a slopfc of 20 de
grees and one of tbo wettest proposi
tions 1 over encountered was on tho
rory brow of n high gravel bench,
300 feet higher than Its dralnago basin,
writes H.A. Hart, In tho Denver Field
arid Farm. Nor Ib waterlogging confined
to nny particular Boll typo clay, silt,
land and gravelly lands are nil suscep
tlblo to its ravaged. Many men havo
declared that their lands will never
accd dralnago. becnuso they havo a
gravel sub-8oll. I havo found, however,
that a gravel sub-soil Is ofton a source
of dralnago, Evoryono realizes tho
need of dralnago on humid lands, but
fow understand tho necessity or even
tho possibility ot draining irrigated
lands. As a matter of fact, Its necos
ilty Is oven niorp Imperative than in
humid sections for tho roason that wa
ter-logging In tho west is always ac
companied by a ebneontration ot ulka-
II salts on and hour tho surface. Cer
tain of tbeso salts nro necessary to
plant growths hut certain others aro
exceedingly Injurious, Water-logging
Is tho natural result of over-Irrigation
and is mudo natural by tho absence ot
natural dralnago outlets. The soil

It has been demonstrated that a

courso, rocelvcs only n part of this

and somo by percolation. When irrl-

alfalfa in rows for seed
Object Is to 8ecure Greater Control
of Moisture Furrows May Be
Smoothed Out.
(Dy AL.VW XEYHEn, Coloradd Agri
cultural COllfKO.)
Mr. P. It Bllnn, alfalfa specialist
of tho Colorado experiment station,
with headquarters at Itocky Ford
Colo., has called attention to the ne
cessity ot plant's alfalfa in rows foi
tho most succ ll seed production.
So much inquiry Is being mode at tho
present time that It seems advfsablb
to again call attention to certain
points which should bo rmqrved In
growing alfalfa In rows teed pro
duction.
Tho object of putting alfalfa In rows
for seed production 1b to sccuro a
greater control of the moisture. Un
der Irrigation this greater control Is
obtained becauso by tho raw me'
tho alfalfa can bo Irrigated by
rows. The furrows may be smot
out with tho furrowing mnchlno so
that tho water may he mh, through
quickly, thus giving a light irrigation.
Cultivation ot tho rown assists In tho
conservation of moisture. Thus by
control of tho two factors, Irrigation
and cultivation, the necessary amount
of molsturo for tho best crop devel
opment 1b secured. Too much wator
tends td produce Vogetntlvo growth
nt tho expense of seed production.
Under irrigation, tho rows should ba
planted 20 Inches-npant, and every
other row furrowed outifor irrigation.
1,1-. t , , , . . , .
vvuen, nowovqr, auaua is pianicu on
dry land for the production of seed,
tho rowsyshould be further apart and
me pinnis tmnncr in mo row. in
order to permit tho amount of water
commonly present to sufllco for the
plants which are actually an the
ground. By dry land methods, the
rows as a consequenco should not bo
plnccd closer than 30 inches apart.
Tho plants should bo drilled In tho
row and may well be thinned to 20
inches apart in the row, Having
good, strong plants when tho thinning
Is done.
Mr. Bllnn reports that ho saw al
falfa planted 49 Miches apart between
rows, nnd 40 Inches In tho rows, at
Hlghmorc, N. D which yielded seed
at tho rato ot flvo bushels per acre,
whero tho rainfall was only seven
Inches for the entire season. From
our experience and the oxpcrlonco of
others on dry land, it would seem
that 3G to 42 Inches is about tho prop
er dlstanco to plant nlfalfa In rows
for dry land seed production. Tho al
falfa should bo given as thorough cul
tlvatlon ua Is given corn or potatoes,
Lit thla Is done, a good averngo seod
yield can Tio produced tor oach sea'
son. II thicker planting Is raado on
tho dry land, It docs not leave a suf
ficient supply ot soil molsturo to ma
ture a good seed crop. Success is only
guaranteed when tho number of plants
Is reduced to the carrying capacity ot
tho soil.

Various so-called "Bolublo" or mis-

tho llmo-sulphur preparations: Thoy
are undoubtedly very convenient and
particularly desirable for use In cities

much pounterfolt currency Is in circu

the government agents at Washington

between $2 and $3 to $100,000.
Tho larger the coin or bill to bo

of making spurious money is tho turn
