Soil Conservation
News
Proper Irrigation
Water Management
By SILVESTRE GONZALEZ
District Conservationist
Watering crops sounds simple
enough, until you try it.
Too much water and you water
log the soil, drown plants, erode the
soil and deposit silt on the fields
Too little water and the whole
effort is wasted.
Irrigation is by far the biggest
single use of water in the United
States, accounting for more that
100 billion gallons of water daily
Much of this water never reaches
its destination. Tt seeps through
unlined irrigation ditches,
evaporates, or runs off the land.
Although, seepage and runoff water
may flow back into rivers to be
used downstream, its quality may
have deteriorated because it has
picked up salt and chemicals from
the soil.
One of the biggest needs in
conserving irrigation water is im-
proved management techniques
This means determining how much
water to apply, when and how to
apply it.
Simply, irrigation water man
agement is knowing when and how
much water to apply That
decision is based or. several inter
related factors, mainly soil, water
quality and quantity, crops
climate, and economics.
Soil provides physical -upport for
plants and serves as i reservoir for
nutrients and water A soil's water
intake rate and -iope determine
which irrigatio. method to use
For example jils witl vpry high
intake rates ure difficult to irrigate
with surface methods, and soils
with very low intake rates
normall' should not be sprink>d
Because different soils store
different amounts of moisture,
farmers need to monitor soils
moisture to know when and how
much to water to apply.
Cotton, Corn, Milo
Meeting Planned
By ENRIQUE PEREZ
Starr Country producers, this
would be a great opportunity to
attend a pair of meetings to assist
you as a cotton and grain produces
in making a cropping decision for
1985 These meetings have been
scheduled for November 1-2 at the
Texas A&M University Research
and Extension Center.
The first of the two Valley
Production meetings will be de-
voted to corn and grain sorghum
the second, on Friday will be
limited to cotton
Each meeting will begin at 8:30
a m. in Hoblitzelle Auditorium at
the A&M center on East Business
83 and last until noon
The meetings are intended to
provide Valley producers of field
crops a preseason overview of the
prospects for growing and market-
ing them next season
Speakers will include local
personalities plus those from larger
arenas discussing marketing
alterr.atives available to producers
Other topics of special interest will
include recent advances in insect
and disease control and new
developments in machinery and
cropping methods as well as the
outlook for application of produe
tion economics.
Breeding Boosts
COLLEGE STATION - Controlled
breeding allows a cattleman to pull
a lot of loose ends together so as to
increase overall herd production
"Having a controlled breeding
season can make a big difference
in the total operation of a cattle
business and can result in more
pounds of beef going to market-the
ultimate objective," says Dr L R
Sprott, beef cattle specialist with
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, Texas A&M University
System
"Controlled breeding makes
overall calf management much
easier," Sprott points out "It
makes for more uniform weaning
and working of calves-vaccinating,
dehorning and castrating It also
eliminates the problem of exposing
immature heifers to bulls "
Just how effective a controlled
breeding season can be has been
demonstrated on the B.J
Armstrong farm in Milam County
Sprott has worked with
Armstrong to change his year
round breeding and calving seasons
to about three months At the
same time, late-calving cows werf
replaced with early calving heifers
Before the change, Armstrong's
cow herd had about a 62 percent
calf crop and calf weaning weights
were averaging 476 pounds Now
Armstrong boasts a 90 percent calf
crop and is weaning 600 pound
calves.
Not only does Armstrong have
more and heavier calves to take to
market but they are more
uniform--an added plus that canr
eap a premium price, Sprott points
out And he has reduced labor
costs with once-a year calving
"This study as well as others in
Texas and across the nation have
shown that a controlled breeding
season can help a cattleman get
his business in order' for greater
profits," says Sprott
