Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in Northern Colorado The Laurel sandy loam is an alluvial soil and occurs in a strip one-half to 1 mile wide in the river bottoms. It ranges in depth from 2 to 5 feet, and is dark brown to black in color. The soil be comes more sandy with depth, passing gradually into coarse sand and water-worn gravel. This soil is not very well drained and the water table is near the surface the greater part of the year. Only small areas, however, are affected by alkali. This soil is particularly well adapted to cabbages, onions, and sugar beets. The Fort Collins loam occurs in small areas north of Greeley and in the vicinity of Fort Collins. It consists of a reddish to a very dark brown light loam, from 4 inches to 1 foot in thickness, under lain by a layer of heavy loam from 1 to 4 feet in thickness. Below this layer of loam the subsoil grades again into a light loam extend ing to a depth of 6 feet or more. The soil is very sticky when wet and bakes badly. It is fairly well drained, is affected by alkali in small areas only, and is adapted to fruits, grain, potatoes, alfalfa, and sugar beets.

This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers of the United States Geological Survey, 1897: Irrigation Near Greeley, Colorado-Boyd In the same way that Colorado has led m improvements in legisla tion have the citizens of Greeley and vicinity been the leaders' ln Col orado. First to experience the necessities, they have been at the front in urging needed reforms, and in these they have been notably successful. Thus it is appropriate in a series of papers devoted mainly to irrigation to review at some length the conditions near Greeley, for from here have come many initiatives to a proper state of affairs. Considerable space is devoted in this paper to matter which at first sight may seem to be more peculiar to the lawyer than to the farmer, bu t, as above stated, the irrigator is called upon probably more than any other agriculturist to consider his legal environment. Although a beginning has been made, yet many years must elapse before the laws relating to irrigation, both State and national, fully recognize the necessities of the irrigator or permit such a development that the greatest good shall come to the greatest number. In a government by the people and for the people it is essential that every man become to a certain extent familiar with such defects before they can be reme died, as well as with the physical possibilities and limitations of his country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in New Mexico The Territory of New Mexico formerly included parts of Colorado, Utah, and Texas, and all of Arizona. On March 2, 1867, the boun darics of New Mexico were fixed at 31 20' and 37 north latitude and the one hundred and third and one hundred and ninth meridians. The area of the Territory is square miles, or acres. (pl. I.) Grand chains Of the Rocky Mountains traverse the Territory from north to south, but become scattered into Short ranges as they progress into the central part. Between these numerous branching ranges are many valleys, watered by rivers owing southward from the snow-capped mountains. Broad mesas and plains cover many thou sand square miles above these river valleys. (fig. Owing to the large expanses of free range, the cattle industry has' been a leading pursuit of the people for many years. TO this was joined the raising of horses, sheep, and goats. With the in ux of population many farms are taking the place of grazing grounds and the ranges are becoming more curtailed year by year. {5' New Mexico in mineral wealth equals neighboring States and Territories. It has, in common with Southern Colorado, large de posits of copper, gold, silver, and coal. Big railway combines are being formed to develop the extensive coal fields of northern New Mexico. Although in one of the Oldest parts of the United States, these large deposits Of wealth have as yet hardly been tapped in real earnest, but now, with the westward movement, mines, smelters, and mining towns are being rapidly established. Mining, stock raising, the operations of railways, and agricultural pursuits occupy the attention of a large percentage of the population.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Irrigation Water Forecasts: For Colorado River Basin, March 1, 1953 Gunnison River: Snow accumulation to date on the watershed of the Gunnison River is somewhat less than for the Upper Colorado, at 75 Percent of normal. Summer stream flow will probably not exceed that indicated.by present snow measurements. Even if the rate of snow accumulation is normal or above for the remainder of the season runoff will be materially reduced by dry moun tain soils. Soil moisture conditions are reported as fair to good in the Gunnison and Montrose districts, probably due to snow-melt at valley eleva tions. Stream flow is slightly above normal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in Montana The yields with their. Corresponding values given in the table are considerably above the average of the irrigated portion of the State. In many parts both water and land are cheap, and careless methods of farming are practiced. The land is not properly cultivated and much of the water applied does more harm than good. Farmers seem to prefer to go to the expense and trouble of cultivating 100 acres in a slipshod manner for half a crop rather than to farm 50 acres in a skill ful way for a full crop. The figures of crop yields, however, repre sent with a fair degree of accuracy what can be accomplished when care and skill are exercised in cultivating the soil and applying the water.

Download or read book Irrigation for the Farm Garden and Orchard Classic Reprint written by Henry Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Orchard The profits which are derived from work and enter prise, depend, not so much upon the extent of these, as upon the effectiveness of the methods employed to make them productive. Five acres, or ten, well cultivated, and supplied with abundant water, will yield, in the course of ten years, as much profit as fifty, or a hundred acres, equally well cultivated, but without any provision for the necessary moisture. Many years of observation, and renewed experiences, during the past eight years, have shown that at least one year in three, there is a deficiency of water for the production of full crops, and the crops of the greatest value suffer the most in such seasons. It is scarcely necessary to do more than to call attention to these facts, leaving to the good sense and' the enterprise of American farmers, the adoption of the requisite methods of evading from drouth losses, and the securing of a more satisfactory remuneration for their labor, by the use of the surplus water on their farms, both flowing upon the surface or below it, in such ways as are pointed out in the following pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.
Download or read book Ancient Agriculture written by Gabriel Alonso de Herrera and published by Gibbs Smith. This book was released on 2006 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Agriculture is the first English edition of Obra de Agricultura by Gabriel Alonso de Herrera, an agriculture instruction manual originally written in Granada, Spain, in 1513 and published there in 1539. Herrera, widely considered the Father of Modern Spanish Agriculture, wrote this treatise nearly five centuries ago, thoughtfully recounting traditional farming techniques of the Moors before their expulsion from Spain, the Spanish colonizers in the early 1600s, and the rural Indo-Hispano bioregion spanning northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Today, farmers, gardeners, and ecological horticulturists are striving to work in harmony with nature, using traditional irrigation methods (involving acequias, sangras, and arroyos) to transform barren high-desert landscapes into fields supporting crop growth. This book speaks to today's farmers, no matter their size or output, in drought-ridden areas with land patterns characterized by natural ditches (acequias) and community water distribution systems (suertes). This type of agriculture exists not only in the American Southwest but from the Philippines to India to the Middle East. With global warming, water usage, and increased populations today, this book is more pertinent now than ever. Practical as well as philosophical, The Art of Agriculture will fascinate anyone interested in organic farming, sustainable agriculture, and permaculture worldwide.
