Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation of Forage Crops in Eastern United States An adequate and reliable supply of good-quality water (71) must be available for an irrigation system. Even though there may be a critical need for irrigation, many farmers will not be able to irrigate. With the increase in use of available water by domestic and industrial consumers, the competition for available water supplies will become more critical in the future (49, Before purchasing an irrigation system farmers must determine if available water sources are sufficient to meet their irrigation requirements at the time water is needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation of Crops in the Southeastern United States: Principles and Practice For typical crop, soil, and climate situations, procedures are outlined for selecting irrigation equipment and for operating the equipment to provide the dependable soil-water control necessary for meeting a crop's water needs. The recommended procedures emphasize crop and soil characteristics and the maintenance of a critical soil volume at less than a specified soil-water suction. Equal emphasis is placed upon excessive water application and the leaching of nitrogen or other mobile nutrients out of the root zone. The option of supplying certain chemicals, particularly readily leached nutrients, through the irrigation system is discussed.

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.

This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation and Drainage Investigations of the Office of Experiment Stations, U. S. Department of Agriculture The rainfall over one-third. Of the United States is so scanty that irrigation is a necessity to the profitable growth of agricultural crops. In other sections of the country there is an area equal in size to all New England, with Indiana added, which is so wet that crops can not be grown at all, and where settlement and cultivation must be post poned until the land has been diked and drained. In the fifteen States and Territories of the arid region irrigation is the fundamental agricultural problem, because the very existence of civilized life depends in large measure on the ability to use rivers for this purpose. In these States the production of a cheap and abundant home food supply, made possible by irrigation, ' has increased the comfort and lessened the cost of living, and contributed in a greater degree than any other single cause to their continued growth and prosperity. By it desert wastes have been transformed into the most productive, healthful, and beautiful habitations of man to be found on this continent. The cities of Denver, Salt Lake, Los Angeles, and many others of lesser note are as much the creation of irrigation as the orchards and farms which surround them, and all depend for existence upon water and the institutions which govern its ownership and use. In many humid sections of the country high-priced land and intensive methods of cultivation are making of irrigation a factor of continually increasing value and importance, and it would seem that the experience of the United States, like that of Europe, will prove that no agent of agriculture or horticulture is so effective in increasing and insuring large yields as the ability to apply water in the right amount and at the right time. There are large areas of land which always receive too much water, large areas which never receive enough, and yet larger areas Which have sometimes too much and sometimes too little water. Only by proper control of the water supply can these lands be made to produce the best crops, and such a control includes both irrigation and drain age, some lands needing one, some the other, and some needing both. The greater part of the land now farmed in the United States belongs to the last class. The experiments made by this Office and the expe risnes of farmers and gardeners show that irrigation in dry years, even in the regions of heaviest average rainfall, much more than repays the cost of supplying the water. In these regions crops are as often drowned out as burned out, and it is probable that drainage to remove water in wet years will prove as profitable as irrigation in dry years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government Agriculture by irrigation is one of the oldest occupations of civilized man. Various parts of the world show evidences that irrigation was practised long before any historical record was kept. The remains of prehistoric irrigation works have been identified and extensively traced in southern Arizona along the Salt River and in parts of New Mexico and California. American Irrigation was left entirely to private and corporate. enterprise until the passage, in 1902, of the National Reclamation Act, which has been amended and modified from time to time by subsequent acts. The original reclamation act provided for the segregation of the receipts from the sales of public lands in the sixteen Western States and Territories into a special fund to be known as the Reclamation Fund and to be available for the survey, construction, and operation of reclamation projects in those States. It provided that the cost of those projects should be returned to the Reclamation Fund by the owners of private land or entry-men on public land in ten annual installments, no requirement of interest being made. A subsequent act in 1914 extended this time to twenty years. The original act required the expenditure of the major portion of the funds in the States in which it had been received. Under this act about one hundred million dollars have been expended in construction, and twenty-five projects are now in operation and prepared to deliver water to about one million five hundred thousand acres of land, about two-thirds of which was actually irrigated in 1916. The projects undertaken, unlike the early simple diversions upon valleys adjacent to the head works, involved, on the contrary, expensive storage works, high diversion dams, difficult tunnels, or long, expensive canal work upon side hills, where large investment was necessary before any water was brought to the land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in the Rocky Mountain States If he is a practical farmer he has been accustomed to consider the fertility of the soil, its drainage, the proximity to market, and the social advantages of a community the leading factors in making a location desirable but when he casts his lot in an irrigated district he finds that all the unirrigated land looks alike and all apparently worthless. He frequently finds that lands conveniently located, close to market, and with a contour and slope suited to irrigation, are yet unoccupied and for sale at small price. If he seeks for the cause from a disinterested source he will probably learn that it is lack of a water right - that other lands absorbed the stream before ditches to water the land in question were built, and that when streams run low no water is left for its use. If he is not so informed at the outset, he may learn of this through unhappy experience. The significance of a water right, and the importance of having both an adequate supply and adequate provision for its just distribution, are matters which the home seeker is most apt to overlook, as they were the last things to be properly appreciated by the early settlers.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Input Used for Field Crops at the United States Scotts Bluff (Nebr.) Field Station, 1941-44 The tabulated data show a wide range in crop yields, believed to be due chiefly to differences in the soil fertility, resulting from differences in crop sequences and fertilizer applications. In conducting these rotation experiments the aim was to provide the crops with good cultural care, including an ample-supply of water in the root-zone reservoir. The crops were not intentionally irrigated excessively nor were they allowed to suffer for lack of water. The table shows that in respect to each crop there were great differ enoce in the quantity of irrigation water applied. These differences were not predetermined, nor was the time of irrigation decided in advance. Each plot was irrigated when the condition of the soil or of the crop indicated that it should be, and the quantity applied was determined in the light of long practice and experience. It is possible that in some cases more water might well have been applied and also that in some cases more was applied than could be held in the root zone reservoir. In the latter case there would be, of course, some loss by deep percolation. The detailed data do not indicate that the crop yields were limited through lack of irrigation water.
