It was acquired by the state since the government took over the Carlsbad project from the old Pecos Irrigation company, and so its feasibility for irrigation has never before been put up to state officials. The matter is being brought to the attention of the state now, on account of the survey of the Pecos water shed, recently ordered by secretary of the interior l.iuie. This survey is to begin on the first of April, and director Newell, of the reclamation service, is already gathering his men for the survey. Hait Surplus of Water. Under present conditions the Carlsbad project has under appropriation 300,000 acre feet of the flow of the Pecos river.

The present area of 20,000 acres under the canal does not consume all this water, and when the canal is thoroughly cemented over its entire length, being done now, much water that is being lost by seepage will be saved for irriagtion. What to do with this extra water is a problem that is now being attacked by the Carlsbad Commercial club. The club takes the I position that if the water can not be used in the state in which it originates, it should be used in Texas, and is cooperating with the authorities for present storage limits of the project. This damsite, known as reservoir No. 3.

is 12 miles above Carlsbad. The geological formations have been examined by two geologists of national reputation, Prof. E. M. tfkeats, of Los Angeles, and C.

B. Richardson, of the geological survey, and both men, working inde- pendently, rendered favorable reports on the feasibility of the site as a holding reservoir. The Commercial club is endeavoring to have a report made by the reclamation service itself on the site, at the same time that the survey of the Pecos watershed is being made by the service. Should the service make a favorable report the state would acquire a large tract of irrigable land, where it now owns only grazing lands. The differ-- ence of values is great enough to en- list the hearty cooperation of state officials, for should the water not be used in New Mexico, it would undoubtedly be employed in Texas.

The Carlsbad Commercial club feels that the matter should be settled one way or the other as soon as possible. There Will be Over A of Trees Set Out Spring; Are In Bearing. Roswell, N. Feb. will be over 600 acres of orchards set out in the Roswell district this spring, it js i announced.

-6- I L. Bixby, irrigation engineer of the agricultural experimmt station of the New Mexico State college, has issued a bulletin on the measurement of water with relation to field crops. The bulletin says: is not the general practice, among those who are learning the first piin- ciples of irrigation, to conduct any experiments or investigations which would tend toward economy in the use had been stopped there and conveyed around to the next border without running through the one iust irrigated However, as the water flowed over each succeeding division, the length of time increased until at the last division it took seven hours to complete the irri- i gat ion. It took 23 hours and 42 min- utes to irrigate the entire border. Dur- ing that time 4.5437 acre feet of water was applied or a depth of 1.68 feet if uniformly spread over the entire area.

If the several divisions had been irrigated individually it would have taken nine hours and 34 minutes with a uniform depth of 0.667 foot and a saving of 40 percent of the water. Important to Measure Water. is just as important to measure water as it is to cultivate the land. The problem is not only one of economy in the use of water, but one of increasing the revenue from the farm. The conditions which affect the duty of water are: variation in soil and climate; method of application; amount of water used; preparation of land and the need of intensive farming.

It has ever been that where Water is plentiful the duly of water is low and where water is scarce the duty of water is high.

Deming N. Feb. M. Emery cultivated a tract of 74 acres, including ditches and borders, seven miles south of the city, the past year, and is one or the most enthusiastic farmers in the whole state of New Mexico. Next year he will cultivate two farms instead of one.

Emery had lo acres of oats that yielded 60 bushels per acre, finding a ready sale at 75 cents a bushel, bring- Fag- ing a gross income of $45 an acre. He had 10 acres of barley that brought him a gross income of $50 per acre. He had two acres bf cane from which he sold $150 an acre sorghum and $100 an acre seed, or $500 for the two He had 10 acres of pink beans that brought him a gross income of $40 an acre. He had 35 acres of maize which brought a gross income of $45 an acre. He raised two acres of melons which brought a gross reward of $450.

His bean and oat straw he sold for "$10 a ton, which increased his bank account $200. making a grand total of $4300, outside of a fine garden and what living expenses the family enjoyed from the farm. The oil and repair bill amounted to a little less than $600 and he paid $100 for hired help. He figures that next year his oil will be very much less, as he understands thoroughly how to run the plant, which is a crude oil engine and turbine pump.

of tons of raw sugar from the west coast of Mexico will be refined at the Glendale plant of the Western Sugar Land company next summer. Arrangements for the importation of the sugar have already been made by R. P. Davie, general manager of the of water. The general impression as water.

It is certain, however, that the been that the soil must be kept nearly soaked in order to make the greatest growth, and that the increase in yield will be in proportion to the increase in amount of water applied. pioneer work of getting the "water to the land has been accomplished in many sections and the problem now in hand is to extend the use of water, already in the ditches or available through pumping, in such a manner as to secure the highest eifi- ciency or, as we term it, the highest duty of water. This can be accomplished only by a careful study of irrigation methods as to when and how to apply water. Irrigation is but the supplementing of the natural rainfall and should be considered as such in the use of water. i economical use of water and the I water requirements of crops cannot be I carefully studied unless the water is measured by some standard device de- signed for that purpose.

The unit of measurement will determine the kind of device to be used. The cubic foot per i second as a measure of the flow of wa- I ter and the acre foot as a measure of volume are the two units now accepted as the best and most easily understood. An acre foot is the amount of water which will cover an acre of land one foot deep. One cubic foot of water per second flowing for 24 hours will amount to nearly two acre feet. experiments in various of the western states have been conducted with a view to determining the amount of water required and also the time of application.

In many sections it is the practice to flood water in borders which are too long. The result is a loss in time required to irrigate and wasteful use of water. Bearing out this statement, reference is here made some experiments made by Don H. imitated but positively never equaled. It will surprise you, as it has so many others, by leaving your skin as clear as though you had sooner we begin to measure water the sooner will the returns be increased and the quality of crops improved Too much water will produce a smaller crop just as quickly and wuh much more harmful results to the soil as will too little water.

The point then is not to use all the water one can get on his crops, but to measure the water used and make it serve as large an area as possible and produce the largest Eczema Stopped ZEM0 Proves a Wonderful Stops Itching Instantly and Permanent Results.
