Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Reclamation and Protection of Agricultural Land IT is needless to inquire at what date and in what country attention was first directed to the reclamation and protection of land, as such an inquiry would not afford any satisfactory or useful result. But it is well known that the subject has long engaged the attention of engineers, and is viewed as of great practical importance by agriculturists. It has occurred to me, therefore, that an exposition of the state of our knowledge regard ing this branch of agricultural engineering, founded on personal experience and study of the principal rivers and estuaries of the United Kingdom, may prove not uninteresting to the mem bers of the Highland Society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Reclamation Policies in the United States Those who have had Government reclamation work in charge, and those who have favored Federal control have held that State control of the water in many instances has hampered them in the carrying out of their policies. However, the United States reclama tion act itself confirms and strengthens the policy laid down by the act of 1866, by providing that (sec. 8) nothing in the act shall be construed as affecting or intended to affect State laws providing for the control of water used in irrigation, and that in carrying out the provisions of the act the Secretary of the Interior shall proceed in conformity with such laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Reclamation Era, Vol. 17: January-December, 1926 The whole problem of land settlement and creating an agriculture which will appeal to people must be divested of exploitation. It is first, last, and all the time a human problem. The future of the family must not be measured in acres, nor in its value in dollars to others, but in its own well - being. Farm communities, as contrasted with scattered farms, are so advantageous from every economic, scientific, and social standpoint that it seems queer we should even think of trying to settle land under any other method.

Download or read book Reclamation of White Ash Lands Affected with Alkali at Fresno California Classic Reprint written by William Wylie MacKie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reclamation of White-Ash Lands Affected With Alkali at Fresno, California The present paper is written to show those farmers owning alkali land what treatment is necessary to make these lands as productive as the finest lands in the Fresno district. In discussing the relations of the soils of the Fresno district to alkali, however, it should be clearly borne in mind that only limited areas of those soils underlain by white hardpan are affected with alkali. The soils underlain by red hardpan contain but little alkali, and there is practically no dan ger that any serious damage from this source will ever result, and it is upon these alkali-free soils that the agricultural prosperity of Fresno has been firmly established. The accompanying sketch map (fig. 1) shows the position of the lands underlain by red hardpan and white hardpan and the areas of white hardpan soils affected with alkali. Of the acres comprising the Fresno district contain some alkali, but only acres contain sufficient 'to prevent the growth of any useful crops. The remaining acres contain only moderate quantities of the injurious salts and even in their present condition can be farmed with a fair degree of profit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our American Land: The Story of Its Abuse and Its Conservation Dense plant growth helps to slow down this soil movement. This gives nature time to replace what little soil is removed by erosion. Nature does this by constantly forming new topsoil from underlying subsoil and rock. This slow process, known as natural erosion or geologic erosion, goes on unnoticed over hundreds of years. This type is not dangerous usually; it may be beneficial to man and the earth. Many fine agricultural areas have been formed in this way. But where land is cultivated or left bare, another and faster kind of erosion occurs. This is accelerated erosion, and it is caused by man's carelessness. When land is cultivated there is no dense growth of plants to protect the soil, and erosion may be a thousand times faster than on protected land. Accelerated erosion damages grasslands when the grass is thinned out by overgrazing. It damages woodlands left bare by overcutting, overgrazing, and burning. This is what we now know as soil erosion, and unless it is checked, it may ruin most of our good land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Hints From a Practical Farmer written by I. D. O'Donnell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints From a Practical Farmer: To the Settlers on the Projects of the United States Reclamation Service If each farmer would keep a record of the farm work for a vear he would likely find that the number of days actually spent in the work which returns the main farm income is small. During the months from March to November the principal farm work is accomplished and the bulk of the work is usually crowded into about three of these months. Of these three months not every day is a working day, due to bad weather. The result is that the farmer is confronted with the task of squeezing through a maximum of work in short periods, when everything must go as planned or loss occurs. It is in these periods of stress or what our efficiency experts call the peak load, that a well-planned farmstead and farm are appreciated. Then it is we determine whether every building on the farm is constructed for efficiency; whether each building is located in the right direction or at the right distance from every other building; whether the feed lots, the garden, the poultry yard, and other such subdivisions are properly located and the stock handled to the best advantage. The arrangement of the farmstead is just as important to the farmer as is the arrangement of the factory to the manufacturer. Manufacturers are planning with the view of reducing labor and costs. They are learning to start raw material in one end of a building and bring a finished product out the other end with never a backward movement or a moment's delay in the procedure. If you are planning new buildings, plan them for efficiency and locate them for efficiency. Plan them just as if every day in the year would be a busy day when every minute of time and every step is valuable. Planning for efficiency does not mean an unattractive farm lav out - rather, an attractive one. Plan well, for planning takes but a short while and you will use your farmstead constantly for many years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reclamation Handbook: A Compendium of Information on the Reasons for and the Development, Operations, and Results of Conserving Water and Reclaiming Land in the Western United States The great Central Valley Reclamation project now under construction in California illustrates the point clearly. It will serve the following purposes: (1) The irrigation of about acres of equally rich lands now inadequately supplied with water; (2) the improvement of naviga tion of two important rivers; (3) the reduction of flood damages to highly developed lands along these rivers; (4) the production of low-cost power for a rapidly growing market, of major importance in the war effort; (5) the provision of a safe fresh water supply for cities and industries as well as for farms; (6) the regulation of the fluctuating flow of the rivers for the protection of domestic water supply, industrial water supply, and of acres of fertile delta lands now threatened with ruin by the infiltration of salt water from the sea; and (7) the creation of recreational and wildlife areas. In the West where the Bureau of Reclamation operates are more than acres of arid and semiarid lands. Irrigation is meces sary for general farming, and close settlement of rural areas cannot be achieved without it. Since the maintenance of most of the population is dependent on irrigation, the use of the available water for irrigation generally is considered the primary use, excepting only its use for domestic purposes.
