Queries Answered.
Commiss.cmer Nesbitt on
Irrigating Land.
Will you give mo some information
ooncormnjt irrigation ? Wttl silos do in
tliiiWiiuituflo? a. (J. M. Zebuion, Ga.
Answer.— l. Wo are glad to note the
awakeiuug iuterost in this question,
which, in view of the -fact that our
heaviest rains eomo at seasons when
qui crops could, do belt without them,
points/o tile importance of preventing
pie escape of this watur into our rivers
ami and to. collecting it and
| placing it vvliurtt it oau be called for
tiner and study plans of irrigation
that in the oarlier days of our agricul
cnlture, when our lauds w re fresh and
filled with moisture absorbing humus,
the rains were retained lor a longer
time in the soil. Now. much of the
water washes over the lands and pass
es off in the spring and fall floods.
The forest, too. once prevented the dry
ini winds, which now carry off so
much of the needod moisture. So
much for some of the benefits to bo de
rived from irrigation. The question of
its practicality has been most success
fully demonstrated on the arid lands of
the far west Where, however, its cost
is greater than the profit dorivetl from
its application, ft would be folly to at
tempt it. For instance, if the lipid is
bo high that to raise the water and re
tain it in reservoirs would consume too
much of tile proceeds of the crop; or if
tlie land is so low ns to require a costly
system of subsoil drainage;-or if the**
fertility of the land does not justify
the outlay of capital and labor, both
eonsidm-dbla 111 any successful effort of
irrigation. Even a smAU mistake may
bring disaster in a system which has
to be calculated very accurately. The
amount of water needed must be esti
minted and decided on be> oud the pos
sibility of a doubt. An inadequate
supply would entail great loss of crops
and expenditure of money; while an
. eyemire.. amount .nooessanly , iiuglins
hua it
the calculation of the amount of water
requirod, three important points should
be considered: First, soil; Becond, sub
soil; third, climate. Gravelly soils will
not retain water; sand will absorb on
ly a small amount and retain it hnt
a short time; heavy clay and garden
noils absorb and retain a large amount;
whiie humus absorbs and gives back
least, that is, loses least by evaporation,
The following table, by Sbublor.
shows th" capacities of different soils
for absorbing water and their power of
retaining it. The soils were first
weighed, then thoroughly saturated
with water, and the increase in weight
noted. They wore then spre id over
equal surfaces:'
Her cent Per cent of
of wider wnte" evnpor
f absorbed. fed in 4 li'rs.
Quart/, sand SR SS.4
I <ltnegtr>tie mind 2fc. 75.9
Clay soil, 4<l per cent
sand 40 52.0
lioani 51 ....45.7
Common arable land fill 32.0
Heavy clay, id per

Fine carbonate of
lime 85 28.0
Garden soli 89., 24.9
Humus (peat or de
cayed vegetable
matter).. ..... 181... 29. S
From this table it will be seen that
the difference in Boils has to be carefully
noted, and upon the right determina
tion of their capacity for absorbing and
retaining moisture, depends, in great
measure, success or failure in irrigating.
2 The character of the subsoil is im
portant. because au allowance has to be
made in the supply of water according
to the power of the subsoil for retain
ing or losing it. We all know that a
heavy clay subsoil will hold the water,
Whilo a coarse, gravelly subsoil will al
low it to pass through.
8. As much of the water on the sur
face is dissipated by evaporation, cli
mate must largely infio mco our decis
ion in determining on any plan of irri
gation. 11l tlie moist climate of Eng
land mid tne more humid atmosphere
of Ireland, loss water is required than
in the dry, hot climato of the south of
France, whore irrigation has been
closely studied and successfully prac
ticed. These instances show that, in a
country so widely and versified as ours,
witli variations of soils and climate,
such as are fonnd ill no other country
iu the world, plans of irrigation should
be modified, and cannot be success!ul
unless adjusted to immediate climate
and soil conditions Much depends
upon the agricultural condition of the
surface soil; soils thoroughly cultivated -
and kept iu a nisilow condition, of
course being more retentive of moisture
than neglected fields. As to these three
conditions, the intelligent farmer can
determine much for himself; but when
tlie construction of dams, reservoirs,
tanks and cisterns is to be decided, as
well as the laying of water and drain
age pipes, the best engineering skill
must be consulted.
4. Yes, and they afford a means of
utilizing many otherwise wasted crops,
besides giving the very best character
of winter feed.
