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 cent sand 51 34.5 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.
