HnRlueer Mark K. HaRsdale special
Irrigation export of tho Abilene lloos
tor Club has recently made instiec
tlons of propositions by Mack and
Seth Suylcs and J. II. Knox on Klin
aud t'atclaw creeks- Tho Investiga-
tions resulted In discovering that these
projects are entirely feasible under
tho pump system during flood staRO.
Tho Knox place on Calclaw was
llrst examined and KiiRlneer RnRsdale
found that some 15 or SO acres could
bo subjected to overflow water by
pump system. The places of Seth nml
.Mack Snyles on 121m Creek are as tine
propositions as one could expect. Es-
pecially Is this the case on one of the
farms. The water must be pumped
from Kim lo an elevation on this
farm where released tho water will
flow down uioti the entire nhwuiu of
land of about 36 or "lu""acFca. Thcro
will be no dam built here as this Is
not a diversion proposition but n
itrlctly tiutupltiR system.
DuritiR freshets on the crooks thru
'his territory follow iir usual preclpl-
atlou these streams flow steadily 48
to 72 hours according lo the amount
of rainfall and duration of tho precipi-
tation and during this time water can
bo taken from the stream by pumps
and pill over the Holds In any amount
desirable- Though objection mlKht bo
waged iiRiiliiBt using water when there
are rains it Is to lie known that In
addition to the throe or four Inches
of rainfall which would bo tho heaviest
of one spell. iwkIi further moisture
i-ould he absorbed by tho earth even
after tho r.ilns had ceased by tnkliiR
water and keepiiiR It over the laud
.mtll It had absorbed all that It could
told
F.nRinocr HaRsdale stated that crops
nn bo Inundated for many hours
without frIlliiK vejetntlon- Alfalfa
specially can ko boiijo 72 hours with-
out showing any 111 effects from sub-
nerslon Cotton can k many hours
According to his experience cotton
unit other vegetation can better stand
Inundation of moving water than sub-
mersion of standing water for the lm-
tor condition causes a souring process
lo set up which will kill tho plants.
In Kiiglnud nltaita is ouenumes suu-
nierged and does well. The only
rouble u this is not to permit the
water lo rover the plants more than
the necessary time.
Where Iho flood system Is to be
used in this territory water can be
taken only while flood water Is mov-
iir down channels of oreekB. Though
heavy rains may fall It is the general
-itntus of theso rains to be sudden aud
tica. As tt result much ot this never
has time to permeate tho earth but
runs off. Illllng un the creiuc ciian-
nels aid causing washings. With a
uuiiip system arranged so that water
in lame nuantltv can ho lifted from
the creek ami placed at Mine centrally
located elevation where It may upon
release extend over tho entire pro-
neriv to lie irrigated tho tyalem of
Irrigation In this method can bo car-
ried through to a sucreshful and pro-
fitable consummation.
Taylor county has mum proposi-
tions like this. In fact most of her
nroiwBlttons are of this sort most
proportions have escaped the eye of
the owner of land upon creeks. He-
cause the bottom of such creek were
innnnlicablo for imnouudliic water the
former or owner has given over the
