The Irrigation Question

TO THE EDITOR. Silt,—l have read the letter in yo'uv issue of Saturday by "Plains Farmer," and entirely disagree with him oti many points, bat will only notice that part in which he says that to irrigate a crop you must plough water furrows every few feet apart. Far from this being the case, th? year before last I was enabled, through the means of a private race, to put about one-third of a fifty-acre paddock of oats underwater, using no extra cuttings, but by simply guiding with a spade where necessary. The result was very noticeable, the irrigated part yielding at least twice the weight of threshed grairi.—l ani, etc., Small Plains Farmer.
