WATER lJIVISIO~S A:-.JD Wc\TER DISTRICTS.

Sections I and 2, article II. of the Nebraska Irrigation Law, divides the state into two \Vater Divisions, denominated \Vater Division :'IJo. I and Water Divisison Ko. 2, respectively.

Water Division !\ o. I includes "all of the irrigahle lands of the state drained by the Platte rivers and their tributaries, lying west of the mouth of the Loup ri,·er; and abo all other lands lying south of the Platte and South Platte rivers that may be watered from other superficial or subter­ranean streams not tributary to said Platte river:-;."

\Vater Division l\o. 2 includes "all irrigabte lands that may be Watered from the Loup. \Vhite. Niobrara and Elkhorn rivers and their tributaries. and all other irrigable lands of the state not included in any other water division."

For convenience in the adjudication of clain1s and in the distribution of water these divisions have been subdivided into twelve water divisions. denominated 1-A, 1-B. 1-C. 1-D. 1-E, 1-F, 2-A. 2-B, 2-C, 2-D, 2-E, 2-F, as shown hy the accompanying tnap.

REVIEW OF TliE WOl{l\: OF S'L\TE IHL\RIJ OF lRR!Gc\TlO:\.

On Xovcmber 30th, 1906, when the 6th hicnnial report of the Secre­tary was n1adc. there were eighteen claims pending- covering water right~ which were deemed to have been acqnircd prior to the passage of the 1895 irrigation L:t\Y, and twenty applications for a permit to appropriate water and ~ix petitions for extensions of titnc in which to complete irri~aticn works. During the la:-:;t bienninn1 there have been flied scvcnt)'-six appli­cations for a pcnnit to appropriate water, one petition for a permit to changC location of hcadgatc. t \\'t.~nty petition~ for extension of time in which to complete irrigation works. 1 wcnty-thrcc proofs of appropriation of water under applications for a pcnn:t. thirty-two maps showing irriga­tion works and one plan of proposed (bm. and three applications for a permit have been returned corrected. There haVL' abo been filed two contc:-;.ts and one petition to set aside th(· inrmcr decisicn of the Board and make a new finding- allowing the cl:t;m. There h:tve hcen no appeals fr01n the action of the Secretary to the State Uoard of Irrig-ation.

During the same period, three claim~ ha\'C been allowed and one dismissed. Sixty-two applications for a l!L'rmit to apprupriatc water ha\'c been appprovcd. and ten dismissed. One hundred and two ccrtill­cate:-; of appropriation ha\·e hccn i:-.:-:.tlc(l. and thirty-nine ccrt:tic;ttcs arc 1nadc out ready to he issuccl upon payment oi ices. Sn·cnty-four permits have been cancelled for the rca:;on that the Ia ,,. has not been complied with~ the work completed and the water applicd within the time allotted. One application for permit to relocate hcadgatc has been allowed. seven­teen petitions for extension of tin1c in which to complete irrigation "·orks and apply the \Yater to the beneficial usc have been allowed and three

<listnissed. Hearings were held before the State Board oi Irrig-ation at its office

in Lincoln on July 9th, 1907. Xonmher 19th, ]<JII7, and December 19th, 1907, The hearing in the matter of the contc't of II. C ~lc:\ew \', Eli"t Bruss was hel<l at Chappell, :\chr:"ka, on c\ngn't lith, 190~. and the hearing in the matter of the• claims of the Lamar Roller :\!ills, Docket :\o, 1013, the Champion Rolle-r :\!ilk Docket :\o, 179. <lll<l the \Vanneta :\!ilk Docket :\o. 17X, "''" hdrl at ImperiaL Cha'c County, :-.lehraska, on October 29th, 190K There has been no appeal from the action of the State Hoard of Irrigation to the Courts.

There now remain on tile in this office. fourteen claim..;. twenty­eight applications for a permit to appropriate \Yatl'r, and six petition:-; for rxi{'ll:-.ion of 1imc in wlli,·h t() complete \Ynrks. Tltt' i()llo\\'ing l;thle g-i\·cs

a detailed description of each claim or application allowed or dismissed. Another table gives a complete list of all rights acquired or pending, arranged in the order of their priority on the different streatns. This table shows the nantes of the appropriator .. postoffice address, natne of ditch, the usc to which the water is applied, the amount of water applied for or granted, the location of the headgate, the date of priority, and the nmnbcr of the docket or application.

The work of strean1 gagings has been carricU on in cooperation with the \Vater Resources Bmnch of the United States Geological Survey. Regular gaging stations have been n1aintained at the following places: On the Platte River at Columbus, on the Loup River at Columbus. on the :-.Jorth Platte River at l\'orth l'latte and l\litchell, on the Republ.ican RiYcr at Bostwick. on the :\'iobrara River at Spencer and on the Little Blue River at Fairbury. This work has been done under a contract by which the \Vater Rc:-;nurccs Branch of the U. S. Geological Survey pays one~half of the expense of maintaining the stations! and the state of :\ebraska the other half. The gn·ater part of the half of this work to be paid by the state has hccu done by regular employees of the departn1ent without incurring any extra expense. Gagings have been n1ade at fre­quent intervals at each station and gage height observers have been enl­ployed to read the daily gage heights. From this data we are able to prepare· a Uaily di,.;;charge table showing the an1ount of flow at each of the~c points. Tables have been prepared and ti.lcd herewith showing the maxinn1n1! tnininnm1 and tncan in cubic feet per second and the total discharge in acre feet for the period at each of these stations. In addi­tion to the regular stations a large tHnnbcr of strcatn tneasnrements have been n1~Hlc at various points. A table has been prepared sho\ving these measurcntcuts, and also a Stlmtnary of all strcatn tncasurctnents made in ?\ ebraska at poit1ts other than regular gaging stations front 1894 to 190R

\Ve have continued the work of procuring proofs of appropriation under pennits granted since the passage of the irrigation law of 1895 .. and a large nun1ber of certificates haYc been issued, and nwny applica­tions have been cancelled. We have found it very flifficult to secure accurate data in these proofs of appropriation. especially in the case of the stnaller canals where no engineer has been employed to n1akc an accurate survey, and where we have no accurate record of the location of the streatn atul canal in this office. In lllall~l cases it has been neces­sary for son1c one from this office to tnake a personal investigation and survey before anything like a correct description of the lands could be

obtained. During tbe past season we have made a topographic survey of White

River from vVhitney to the South Dakota line, including its tributaries. \Ve have a large nt11nhcr of appropriations frotn these strcatns. and we were unable to get accurate tnaps covering then1. \Vc find that such a survey is .about the only method by which we are able to obtain reliable data upon which to hasc the allowance of applications and the issuance of ccrti!lcaks of appropriation.

Ther; have been very few complaints in regard to the distribution of

12 REPORT OF SECRETARY

water in accordance with the priorities. This is probably largely due to the fact that the rights of different appropriators have been determined, and each one knows just what he is entitled to. In a few cases, however, on the smaller streams, it has been necessary to close many of the head­gates in order to secure water for the lower appropriators and for dotncs­tic purposes along the streams. This work has been in the hands of the Under Secretaries of the different water divisions and their reports will show more in detail what they have done in this respect.

An effort has been made during the past year to secure more reliable data in regard to the water power of the various streams of the state. The law provides that every appropriator of water for any benefical pur­pose shall make a filing in the office of the State Board of Irrigation. Many of the appropriators of water for power purposes, however. have not made such a filing. They have either based their rights on the usc of water prior to the passage of the Irrigation Law, or in many instances they have considered that as they did not actually dinrt the water from the strean1, it was unncccs:-ary to n1ake such a filing. \Vc have endeavored to induce these appropriators to tile their applications in this office for their own protection, and also that we might be able to have a more complete record.

The Water Resources Branch of the United States Geological Sur­vey has endeavored to get a general idea of the amount of power available in the State. and abo a description of the larger plants now in use. Thi$ report has not yet been published, and owing to the short time allowed for its preparation, it cannot go into the matter very much in detail. There is a vast antount of water power in the state 'vhich remains undeveloped and with the present methods of transmitting elec­tric power for long distances with a small percentage of loss, this water power will undoubtedly be largely developed in the near future and is destined to becon1e one of the greatest natural resources of the State.

Quite a large atnount of work has hcen done by this office in preparing plans, specification::. and estimates of cost of county bridges. A large proportion of the Counties in the eastern part of the state where steel bridges are built. have taken advantage of the law requiring the Secreta­ry of the State Hoard of Irrigation to prepare these plans and have applied to this office for them. In many other cases, I think this law has worked to advantage by having plans on file so that all bidders were required to bid upon the same ~d (,f plans and spccitlcations. A consid­erable arnount has been received in fees for tnaking these plans. and a large proportion of the work has been done by regular employees of the office without any additional expenditure.

The following statement shows the amount of money in the various funds on November 30th. 1906. and the amount drawn from each of these funds, and also the balanc rcn1aining unexpend·~'d which reverted to the general fund. It also shows the amount ap:nnpriatcd for the hicnniun1 beginning the first \'Vcdnesday in .-\pril. 19')6. 11·ith the amount drawn from each of these funrls to November 30th. 190fl, anrl the balance remaining in each fund to this date. It shows also the amount of fees receiver! by this

REPORT OF 8F.CRF.1' A RY

The following table gives a list of discharge measurements of vari­ous streams m·ade at points other than regular gaging stations.

We have endeavored to procure measurements of the flow of streams of the state as far as possi !Jle, particularly the streams used for irrigation or vower.

A large number of these Ineasurements were given in a former report, !Jut it was thought best to reproduce them here with the addition of such measuretnents as have been made since the last pu!Jlished report.

176 REPORT OF' SECRETARY

To the Secretary of the State Board of Irrigation:-Biennial report of H. 0. Smith, Under Secretary for \Vater Divis­

ion l\o. 1.

There has been a very marked improvement in the conditions re­lating to irrig·ation in \Vestern Nebraska during the lJi-ennium of 1 9•17-08 over thcHe existing in the prif)r years, especially the earlier periods of 1900 to 1904. 1t is probably trt:e that this improvement is vartly due to an increase:! rainfall in that territory, though the records do not show a Yery material increase for a JWrlod of years anrl practicnlly none fer the years I :Jc< anu 1908. Tlwre are other eauses that hrwe con­tributed more to this iinprovement than the slightly inereaseJ rainfall.

In the smaller streams, and it is in the valleys of these streams that a large proportion of the irrigated lands of the State are located, there is a vm·y noticeable increase in the nonnal fiow and in the regu­larity of the flcnv. I attribute this to two principal eauses; :B.,in.;t-the Inore water there is used, und the longer it is use:l, the greater is the seepage Uac k iJJto the parent stream, in fact the water applied to the land b not lest hut storecl ancl gra:!ually anl steadi1y though slowly re­turns to the stream, resulting in a great iinprovement in the regularity of the flow. Cultivation of the land is also an important factor in this storage problem. Second-Under the polieies and rules of the irriga­tion department the excessive and wasteful n1ethods of irrigation pra·c­ticed in the early days have been sueeee:le:l by economical and intelli­gent methods, to the great advantage of the individual irrigator and benefit of the irrigators on the stream colleetively. There is still room for improvement on these lines. Lodge Pole Creek is a typical stream for this state and one on which the methods of using water have been, probably, more effectively reformed than any other stream in state, at least I have no lmoweldge of any other where the conditions have been so much improve:!.

The records show that on no other stream in the state is there as great an erea of land irrigated in proportion to the volume of the flow as on this stream. The amount of water appropriated from Lodge Pole Creek in Nebraska is 1:19.87 seeond feet, covering 9790 acres. The flow of the stream during the irrigation season amounts to from 4 to 20 second feet exclusive of floods, of which nothing is utilize:l because of lack of storage facilities.

As an example of the improvement effected, on th>l Bennett ranch in the eastern part of Kimball County, which includes about six miles of Lodge Pole valley, prior to 1904 were two small ditches covering a total of about 400 acres, but owing to the irregularity and a scarcity of water supply at that point, in no season was more than half of the land irrigated. In 1904 a new system of ditches was commenced and completed in 1905. Under the improved conditions more than 2400 acres of land on this ranch were successfully and effectively irrigated during each of the years 1907 and 1908.

STATE BOAHD Ot' lRRIGATIO~ li7

On Louge ·Pole Creek, as on other smaller streams in Nebraska, there is an enormous loss of valuable water in the winter flow which is considerably greater than the summer flow, and in the heavy floods which frequently sweep down the valley, leaving a trail of wrecked bridges, dams and ditches. There is a move on foot in Kim­ball County to conserve and store this flow and it is to be hoped that it will be successfully carried out. Such a waste of so valuable an ad­junct to production is repulsive to the American idea of thrift and is not to be tolerated. It is a pity that in this matter l\ebraska shoull be so far behind her neighboring states. In Colorado and Wyoming im­lllense sun1s of money have been invested, not spent, in Btoring every available foot of water, and not without adequate returns. Six to eight years ago non-irrigablc lands in \Vestern Nebraska were valued at $1 per acre and no market. Today they find ready sale at $7 per acre. At the same time irrigatoLl lands were valuecl at from $10 to $20 per acre, today they sell for $100 per acre and up.

Some day the people of Xebraska will awake to the fact that its most valuable possessions are located in the western part, the part that is at present thou~ht but little of, and spoken of but slightingly. But others, outsiders with experience 'vith similar ccnditions in other states, where these v~dualJle rescJUrt es are utilize:], will get on the grounll and reap the lJenefits.

Respectfully st:hmittcJ, H. 0. S~IITH,

under Seertary W. D. Xo. 1

HF.P'ORT OF SECRETARY

To A dna Dobson, State Engineer, Secretary of the State Board of Irri­gation, Lincoln, Nebraska:

I submit herewith my official report for the bi-ennium ending No­vember 30, 1908.

During the past two years in the capacity of Under Secretary of the State Board of Irrigation, I have examined 20 original applications in different parts of my division. They consisted mostly of applications for water from small streams and for holding flood waters by means of dams built across draws.

I have investigated above 50 complaints, a great many of which were from people who lacked sufficient water for domestic purposes owing to persons above using the water for irrigation. I have also examined a great many old applications where proof had not been made. I estimate that in the two years I have traveled by rail over 1000 miles, and with a team near 4000 miles.

The rainfall in this section during the years of 1907 and 1908 has been rather above normal and very seasonable for the crops conse­quently so much attention has not been given to irrigation as in dry years. The greater number of ditches, dams, bridges, culverts, etc., which have been washed out by floods have been and are being rebuilt and more substantially. The months of· April and August 190 8 were exceptionally dry months, causing as many complaints as I eould easily handle.

I would suggest again, as in my last biennial report, a change in the measurement of water, making it in acre feet rather than foot per see., allowing each irrigator to have the entire flow of the stream, or as much as his ditch will carry until he bas received his proportion instead of dividing the stream and thus losing so much water by seepage.

In this district, much work is to be done in damming the dry draws to hold flood waters. I would say that I consi~er that the Jaw con­cerning the jurisdiction of the Board of Irrigation in this matter is not explicit enough. For instance, I have a case in my division where a <·ertain man made applicaticn for permission to dam a dry draw thus receiving the flood waters for irrigation, which permission was given him by the State Board of Irrigation. Some parties above him dammed the stream, received the water and claim they use it for domestic pur­poses. The Ia w says a man has first right to water originating on his land. Hence it occurs to me that a more explicit law concerning the distribution of flood water is necessary.

Respectfully submitted, PAGE T. FRANCIS

Under Secretary Water Division No. 2, State Board of Irrigation.

8TATF: ilOARD OF IRRIGATION li9

HECOM~U]NHA1'10NS

In a general way the Nebraska irrigation law has proven quite satisfactory, and many of the states where irrigation is practiced have passed similar laws. Our law provides for a c·entral office of record where all the rights to the use of the public waters of state are recorded, and we are enabled to show the number and extent of all appropriations of water from any watershed, and as the Jaw makes it the duty of Sec­retary of State Board of Irrigation to make measurements of the flow of the various streams of the state and keep a record of the same, the amount of water available for new projects may lle ascertained. A sim­ple and inexpensive method is provide:l for securing rights to the use of water for any beneficial purpose, and a complete system for distributing the water in accordance with the rights of the appropriators.

There are a few points, however, which might be improved upon. The law gives the State Board of Irrigation authority to limit the time in which the irrigation works must be completei, an:l the application of water made to the beneficial. use in1icated, but it does not spedfically state that the board has authority to exten1 time for compelion where good reascns are given for sueh an extension. The polio· of the depart­ment has been to grant sud1 extensions wherever good reasons were shown for granting the same, upcn the theory that thP board, having the authority to fix the time in the first pla('e, would have authority to exten'l the same. The Wyoming law covers this point definitely, and I believe that our law should be amenlel to clearly gi\·e this au­thority to the State Board of l rrigation.

Cur law makes no distin('tion between reservoir rights and the rights of those taking water direct from the stream during the irrigat­ing seascn, and our law does not definitely state what c·onstitutes the irrigating seascn. The only limitaticn on the quantity of \Vater to be divertej is that no more thPn one-seventieth of one ('l~bir foot per sec­ond may be apvropriated fer ea( h acre of land. On this basis, the ap­propriator of water for storage \\'ould seem to be entitlej to an amount for each acre equal to one-seventieth of a cubic foot per second flowing contint:ously thrcugh the irrigating season. ThiH would give an an1ount of \Vater much in exress of that neejed un:ler ordinary circum­stances, the only other limitaticn being the one that no appropriator is entitle'l to more than he cen benefi<ially use.

I believe that the law relating to the construction of reservoirs and the storage of water should be amended, making the unit of measure­ment the acre foot and defining the maximum number of acre feet al­lowed for each acre of land.

Our law provides also that every application for a permit to appro­priate water must describe specifically the lan1 which it is propose:! to irrigate. In many c·ases where water is to be stored, it is very difficult to describe these lands when the first filing is made for the reservoir permit.

1~0 REPORT OF SEClm'l'AHY

The \Vyon!.ing la \1\., which proviJes fer a primary permit covering the construction of a reservoir and a seconclary permit indicating the lands upon which the water is to be used, seems to be a good provision. Under our law, the applicant for a permit to appropriate water must in his application describe fully the lancls which lle intends to irrigate, and within six months after the allowance of the application for a ver­Init, a map must be filed on a scale of not less than two inches to the mile, sho\i·ing the location and the course of the distributing works, the source fron1 whi<'h the appropriation is taken, and the legal sub-divisions of the lanrl upon whidt the water appropriated. is to Ue applied. This section should Ue auwnJc;J so as to proYide that these maps shouhl Ue marie in a uniform manner, in tt('( or:iance with the rules laid down lly the St'<'n~tary of the State Boar(} of Irrigation, and that all such maps shouLl have a certificate made by Rome competent engineer or surveyor c-ertifying to the nrrurary of the ~anw.

As tl:e matter now stan:ls, the applirant generally attempts to make his cwn maps, an'l in the majority of rases, these maps arc in­acf urate nn:l do not give sufficient data upon whith to base the issuan(e of a certificate of appropriation.

Our law seems to provide that tlJl' water appropriateJ is atta<':.leJ to the land for which the permit is granteJ. DIHl that no (·hange ma~·/ be rnaf1e in the place of W-'-8. There are 1nany rases \vhere it woul·I seeu1 only just that the right to change the place of use should be !Wrmittecl and 1 telieve it would be well to a'.lopt a provision sin1ilar to tlle one in force in some of the states, whi('h provides that if fer any rea:son it should at 8ny time be('ome impracticable to use all or any part of the water to whi< h the right of use is appurtenant, part or all of the right rnay be seYcrej fron1 this land and simultaneously transferred and be­rome appurtenant to other lands without losing priority of right, where the change can be made without detriment to existing rights. All such <·hanges, however, should be made only upon permits issuei by the State Engineer, after a careful examination of the conditions and the rights of others diverting water from the stream.

1llS'l'HICT IHHIGATIOX J,AW.

Our district irrigation law, whieh was copied largely from the \Vright law of California, is ceEigned to enable users of water to own and con­trol the irrigation works supplying their lands, and provides for the election of the Board of Directors who have the power to construct and operate canals and to issue bcn::s for the payment of all construction work and to levy an annual tax for the payment of operating expenses and to pay interest on the bonds and form a sinking funcl. for the final payment of the bonds themselves.

The district irrigation law provides a very satisfactory method for the development of the district, anj in mcst rases the formation of these districts has proven quite satisfactory. Each land. owner being directly interested in the conduct of the affairs of the district, all parties are incline:! to wcrk together for the best interests of the district.

There are a number of amendments, however, which I believe should be made to this law. At present, whenever a majority of the electors holding land. in any district subject to cne mode of irrigation desire to do so, they may propose the organization of an irrigation district, and must file with the Board of County Commissioners a peti­tion signed by the majority of these directors. This petition must show the boundaries of the proposed district. I belieYe that after this peti­tion is tiled with the Board of County Commissioners, a copy should be filed with the Secretary of the State Board of Irrigation for the pur­pose of determining whether the lands intlnde'l within the·st, boundaries are susceptible· of irrigation from the proposed works, whether or net any of them are cov·ered by prior appropriations, an'! also to report upon the adequaey of the water supply before any further steps are taken toward the organization of the district.

Our law provides that Board of Directors of any district must as soon after such distriet has been organized as may be practicable. estab­lish and detern1ine the au1ount of n1oney to lJe rai::;eJ, anJ shall immedi­ately call an election to vote upon a bond proposition. I IJolieve that before this question of voting bonds is o;ubmitted to the electors, an estimate of the probable cost of construction should IJe ma•le IJy a com­petent engineer, and filed with the Board of Directors. After the bonds have been voted, the law should require that complete plans awl speci­fications. with an estin1ate of cost he 1nade by a C01111Jetent engineer and tiled with the Board of Directors. A copy of these plans and spec-i­tications should IJe referrell. to the State Board of Irrigation for its av­proval. In this way, many costly mistakes might be preventeJ.

1 IJelieve also that the bonds of au irrigation district should be registered with the State Auditor, so that all matters pertaining to the regularity of their issuance, uright be passed upon. This would give the IJonds a much Letter standing than they have un:ler the vresent law.

Every district organized under the vrovisions of this law, should be required to tile in the oflice of the State Board of Irrigation a c:omvlete record of all matters pertaining to its organization, issuance of IJonds, etc., and the officers of the district should make annual reports to the State Board of Irrigation showing concisely the management of the affairs of the district, the amount of tax levied and a list of the district officers. Under the present law, many districts are organized of which this otlice has no knowledge whatever, and while we have attemptell to keep a complete list of districts organized, it has IJeen quite impossible to keep up such a list with any degree of accuracy, and this ofilce has no official record of the boundaries of an irrigation district, the arnount of IJonds issued, or anything pertaining to district organization. Many inquiries are made to this office in regard to these districts, and I believe that a complete record should be on file.

would recommend that the cooperative work with the \Vater

182 REPORT OF SECRETARY

Itesources of the United States Geological Survey in the measure­ment of streams be continued along the present lines, if the sa~e arrangements can be made with the Water Itesources Branch. The results obtained from this work are very valuable, and the longer period the record covers, the more valuable they become. Under our present arrangements, we are enabled to do a very large amoullt of work at a small expense to the State.

I believe that the State could well afford to make a small appropriation for cooperation with the United States Geological Sur­vey, a like amount to be appropriated by them for the purpose of making topographic surveys within the State. A portion of the State has already been mapped, and these maps have been of great value to the State. The policy of the U. S. Geological Survey seems to have been to use their appropriations in states where an appro­priation has been made for cooperative work. In the year 1908, appropriations were made by Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Mary­land, West Virginia, North Ca,rolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, California and Oregon. These states have appropriated a total of $100,000.

A great many inquiries come to this department in regard to drainage distric·ts. I believe that the public would be benefited by having a record of the drainage districts kept in this office. Such a record would be valuable to investors in the drainage district bonds and also to other localities proposing to organize drainage dis­tricts. In many places, these districts will contain within their boundaries, land in different counties, and a central office of record would be valuable. In addition to this record, the State Engineer's office might be able to furnish recommendations and advice to other localities where the organization of drainage districts was contem­plated.

DRAINAGE INVES'l'IGA'HONS AT LEXINGTON, NEBRASKA.

Report for the Years 1907 and 1908.

The inauguration of the drainage experiment at Lexington, in 1905, by Irrigation and Drainage Investigations, of the U. S. Depart­ment of Agriculture, in cooperation with the State, is describej in the report of the State Board of Irrigation of Nebraska, for 1905 and 1906. Experimental work was continued on this tract during the seasons of 1907 and 1908, by drainage investigations without the assistance of the State. A report of the conduct of the work during those seasons and of the results obtained is herewith submitted.

Previous to the constuction of the drains in the fall of 1905, as described in the above named report, Mr. A. T. Sweet, of the Bureau of Soils, U. S. Department of Agriculture, made a report to the Office of Experiment Stations, of the U. S. Department of Agri­culture, upon the condition of the soil with reference to its alkali content. The report states that water was reaehej at a depth of from 3 to 15 inches in all parts of the tract, and that the 'water beneath the surface showed 110 parts of soluable salt per 100,000, while that standing in pools upon the surface contained as much as 200 parts of soluble salts per 100,000, a part of which salts appeared to be black alkali. It may be observed in connection witl1 this statement, that water containing this amount of alkali is considered injurious to plants when applied in . irrigation, and indicates in this case a soil highly charged with injurious salts. \Vith reference to the alkali content of the soil the report states that the surface foot showed about .4 per cent of alkali, while the analysis of sample showed the salt content of the surface-12-inches to be .2 per cent in one location, and . 4 -per cent in another. Commenting upon this paragraph of the report, it may be said that from .1 to .2 per cent of alkali in soil is usually regarded as the limit at which plants will thrive. The chemical examinations, as well as the heavy sward of salt grass, covering the land, showed quite clearly that the land was too strongly alkaline to be of use for farming.

As stated in the report of 1905 and 1906, 10 acres of land were plowed and seeded to sorghum, in 1906, and later in the same season about 7 acres were broken and sowed to wheat. The sorghum failed to germinate because it was sown late and the ground became dry. The wheat and rye made a fair showing in the fall, but as hereafter noted, produced but little grain at the harvest in 1907.

In the spring of 1907, Mr. D. G. Miller, of Drainage Investi­gations, took local direction of the work. The ground which was planted to sorghum the previous year, was well plowed and disked, and on May 15, as soon as water could be obtained from the ditches of the Farmers and Merchants Irrigation Co., the land was flooded twelve days for the purpose of removing alkali. As soon as the land

1K4 HEPOH1' OF SEl'IU•;~'ARY

became dry it was again dis ked and 4% acres planted to sugar beets, by Anton Kokenis, to whom that part of the field was leased.

vVhen the ground was flooded it was observed that the imper­vious eharacter of the soil prevented the ready percolation of the water into the drains, especially where there were surface depressions. The soil under wet conditions appears black and waxy in these places and the continued saturation to which the soil was subjected, did not better its condition but rather made it worse. Notwithstanding these conditions, a considerable flow of water passed out of the drains, its color indicating that it was highly charged with alkali. A part of the water was removed by the few surface ditehes which were provided, apparently producing a better and more immediate result than where the water was retained on the soil and permitted to pass off through the under drains only.

The beets were not planted until the latter part of June. The growth of the crop was luxuriant after the plants were well starteJ, but a part of the ground was so strongly alkaline as to prevent t!Je germination of the seed. Twenty-five tons of beets \vere gathered fr01n 2 1;2 aere8, only about one-half of the ground planted producing a ('rop. The wheat and rye of'eupying the lJalant·e of ihe plowcJ ground made but a small showing and may be regard.eJ as a failure. Tllf' ('Onditicn of the ground vvas 1naterially improved_ in con::iequmh·e of the <·ultivation given anu perhaps one-ha][ of the plowe:l land was sufficiently free fro1n alkali to permit the growth of a crop. Observations <luring the year lead to the conclusion that the land con­taine:l a rnueh higher per cent of alkali whkh is injurious to crops than \Yas at first suspe(·ted and that the ('arbouates or lJlaek alkali was present with the sulvhates or white alkali in very lilJeral amounts, and further that surface water used. in large quantities failed to pass through the soil with sufficient quickness even nPar the drains to aC'romplish the \VOrk of remoYing tl1e alkali from the soil. It should be noted in this connecticn that the outlet drain whi(·h dis<"hargeH into the hit,dnvay dit('h was :submerged to a depth of J or 6 inehes <luring the time when the Jiuouin!; of the Ian<! took place.

The land was leased to the same party for the season ot 1908 under contract that it should be given thorough preparation for the crop and be well cultivated. The local inspector, lllr. R. F. Stucky, of Lexington, reports that 3 :J tons of beets were gathered from the 4 acres planted to that erop, the plants on one-quarter of an acre having been destroyeu by alkali. The wheat which was sown, made no crop. The management of the lanu during the season was only oruinary and such as might be expected under the tenant system. No special efforts were taken by the lessee to correct the alkali conditions of the soil.

The statull and results of this experiment are about as follows: The object was to ascertain to what extent underdrains would re­daim or benefit the lands in that section of the Platte Valley which

had been rendered unproductive, first, ,by over-irrigation, followeJ by three years of large rainfall, ani, secon'l, by soil alkali whieh the rnrsual wet ccn 'iticns ha•I brcught to the surface. As noted before t.he alkBli ron 4.il ions were marke 1 ani serious. There were no ~rains of r.ny kin! in that level area sufll<ient to remove surface­water, much less to furnish an outlet fer an un ·erdrainage system. The county commissicners ecnstructe'l a ~itch three-quarters of a mile long to furnish an outlet for the drains upon the experimental tract. It was early seen by the Office having in charge the investi­gations that whatever might be the outcome cf the experiment, no practical use couli he ma·'e of the results until a system of ~itches should he constructed along the courses of natural drainage, ani along the highways to intercept seepage ani flood water an I furnish adequate cutlets for such farm ·'rain"l(e as shouli prove necessary. A representation of this state of affairs was made to a number of the citizens of Lexington, in 1906, an 1 in response to a petition filed by them in the Office cf Experiment Stations, a survey of an area of 12,000 acres, which included the town of Lexington, was made in 1907 and plans have been prepared for the main drainage of the en1ire tract. Tl>is report with estimates of the cost of the work recommende:l, will soon be submitted to the petitioners for their consideration.

Fx erimentl work ccn,'ucted in this field shows-

First, that the land which is injured by alkali in the vicinity of Lexington, is in a more serious condition with respect to its use for farming tban is usually representei, that the carbonates or black alkali as well as the sulphates or white alkali are present in the soil in harmful quantities, and that the quantity of these salts is increasing each year.

Seccnd, rn er<lreins benefit Sl'Ch lands by removing surplus soil water making the land more workable and also slowly remove injurious salts that may be containo1 in the soil, but such drains seem insufficient to care for the water which is used in the special flooiing tr9atment required for the removal of surplus alkali.

Third, the condition of this land is such as to require special treatment for the removal of alkali which is gathered on or near the surface. This treatment should consist of a liberal application of water either by Irrigation or by rainfall, an•l the removal of the water be accomplished by means of open ditches or be conducted into tile drains direct by means of surface inlets.

Fourth, owing to the close texture of the soil, flat ridging should be used in connection with tile drains, the drains to be placed in the line of furrows resulting from such ridging and discharge:! into convenient open ditches.

Fifth, crops especially sugar beets which require continuous cultivation during the growing season are best suited to these lands during the time of their special treatment for the removal of alkali.

Sixth, observations upon the action of the underdrains during

the three years covered by the experiment show that they controlled the height of the soil water and that in genjlral moisture conditions were satisfactory. The drains were placed at distances of 100 to 200 feet apart, some of them passing through the small depressions and ponrts and others passing near them. Observations upon their effect lead to the following conclusions: Drains should, in all cases, pass through the depressions since the soil in them is less permeable to water than the surrounding land. In some cases the drains should have surface inlets consisting of pits filled with brickbats or gravel to admit the water from the surface more readily. The distance between the drains in ordinary level land of this character need not be less than 100 feet provided some drain or spur passes through ev<3ry suriace de­pression.

Seventh, a general system of open ditches made about 4 feet deep is the first essential to the reclamation of this Janel and are necessary for the construction and maintenance of public highways. With arte· quate open ditches to receive and convey away farm anrt road drainage t.he£-e lands can be put in t:ondition for g•3n~wal farming pt!rposes, pro­vided judicious flooding to remove alkili and thorough cultivation be practiced. Respectfully submitted,

C. G. ELLiOTT Chief of Drainage Investigation.
