IRRIGATION
METHODS
(CONTINUED FROM PACK TWO)
acre in extent, are flooded at one
time, and m ten hours it is possible
to irrigate sixteen seres to an aver-
age depth of six inches. With such
facilities for distributing and con-
trolling water, the vetting of the soil
becomes an easy and simple task.
In irrigating alfalfa in borders in
the Yuma Valley, Arizona. a head
of about four cubic feet per second
is divided between three or four bor-
ders and the time required for the
thin sheet of water to traverse afield
forty rods long depends on the slope,
soil, crop, and thoroughness of irri-
gation desired. The usual time is
one hour.
IRRIGATING GtAIW.
Grain occupies an important place
in irrigated farming. Such crops as
alfalfa, beets, potatoes, and fruit
give much greater returns, but grain
growing must be practiced to round
out the requirements of most diver-
sified farms under irrigation. To
the new settler with little means it
brings in quick returns ; it is one of
the best preparatory crops to sow on
raw land, and it fits into the ordinary
crop rotation of the west, made up of
grain, alfalfa, and sugar beets or
potatoes.
Grains of all kinds are irrigated
mostly by the flooding method, but
bordera and furrows are also used to
a limited extent. The process of
flooding grain fields from field later-
als is very much the same as that for
alfalftf, except that the laterals are
spaced closer. Less care is likewise
taken in forming these channels,
since they are not intended to last
beyond one irrigating season. After
the last watering and before the
grain is ready to harvest the field,
ditches are filled in so as not to in-
terfere with the reaper.
In the Yakima Valley in Washing-
ton, gram is irrigated from furrows
spaced twenty-four to thirty inches
apart, and in the Imperial Valley in
California it is flooded in borders
about fifty feet in width and often a
quarter of a mile long.
The low duty of water on grain
land is due largely to the newness of
the ground and the rough condition
of the surface. Results of measure-
ments made in different states of the
west show that large quantities of
water, often exceeding six acre-feet
per acre, are frequently applied to
grain fields. It is apparent from the
low or average yields obtained that
the greater part of the water is
wasted. Under skillful use more
than *wo acre-feet per acre is seldom
needed.
