SUGGESTIONS ON IRfiIGATION.
PrevIous to tIm noon recess prCld
narnes announced tIme preence oC Secretary
J. Sterling Morton , wlio hInd a cmmunlcl'
ton addressed to the secretary of tw board
front Milon Whitiiey. chief of division of
lie AgrIcultural delmrtment Secretory Morton -
ton read the article , which proved to be an
interesting and valuable paper on clmnlc
and Loll . conditions of Kansas Nebraska ,
wIth direct reference to irrigation and tIme
better nmethiods for such work. Tile conclu-
slons reached by Mr. Whitney were thmat the
soils of thiC states flre wonderfully preduc-
tire and extremely.fertlle if irnigtited. But
rains west of tile central portions of the state
are inadequate. West of the central per-
tions ( lie preclpitatloim was but from six to
ten Incites per annum , and in the eastern por-
( lens only twenty , falling at tlmimes as low
as from cloven to fifteen. In Now York state
( he average annual precIpitation was forty.
and never lower than twenty Inches , Mr.
Whitney claimed that twenty Inches , properly
distributed , was sufliclent to Insure good
crops In either Kansas or Nebranka. Tile
problem before Nebraskans was to conserve
the average moisture and prevent. evapoma-
tion.
Secretary Morton supplemented this paper
with sonmo Itmiportant suggestions concerning
plowing. lie said thiat time present system
of working hand was not immuchi In advance of
that employed 1,000 years ago , except that time
phowmmiamm redo nowadays Iimsteatl of walking.
But time tendency of modern piowing was' ' to
dig drains under time ( hum layer of tillable
latiti , whIch acted as conduits to carry thmo
water away immstead of permimitting it. to perco-
hate down through the subsoIl. Every year
lmmnense quantitlesof valuable soil was thus
washed into tile Missouri riven , Ito aug.
gestetl as a possIble lnmprovensont ( hint plows
be constructed with a sot of knives following
( ho plowshare , which mnighit , cut ( ho soIl amid
allow time dowiipotmr of sprIng , fall aimti summer -
mor rains to permeate the ground , Instead
of acting as flush sewers to carry away ( lie
soil from time surface of millions of acres.
Following time remarks of Secretary Morton
time board took a recess tmntll 2 p. ma.
