CHANDLER EXPLAINS PLAN OF IRRIGATION Speaks of “Needless Waste of North Dakota Streams” At Meeting Here MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS __ Result of years of stndy wag given He tenieet io meeting here by Prof. KF indler, of the University North Dakota. ” mS Prof. Chandler spoke of the “need- fess waste of North Dakota Streams,” saying that the proper combination. of irrigation ard drainage would solve ‘the most serious problems of agricult- ure in western North Dakota, He divided ithe sources of water ir- to that which falls in the form of rain or snow within the stata and that coming into the state from Mon- tana and South Dakota mainly through the Missouri and the Little Missouri Rivers. He spoke of divert- ing the Missouri by means of a tun- nel from Fort Stephenson to the Mouse. or James ‘River and also the possibilities of diversion by means of a dam, the latjer method within cer- tain limits being feasible from an engineering standpoint, but not prac- ticable owing to the enormous cost involved. The speaker said that “The run-off in North Dakota streams, while not -great when compared with the rain- fall, is a considerable amount in the aggregate.” Run-off in Streams The average run-off in streams for a twel¥e month period for Western North Dakota varies from one-eighth inch ito two inches in depth for the ‘total area drained. These figures are derived from records kept by the U. S. Geological Survey for the past twenty years. Possibly one-half of the.total stream flow could be retained by storage) reservoirs and used for the purpose of irrigation during the crop season, The area of the slope country is about 19,000. square miles, or a little less than one-fourth of the area of ‘the sate. If one-half the run-off from this area could be conserved, it would be sufficient to irrigate 340 square miles, or 220,000 acres of land. 24 inches in depth annually. Sf f Ten acres of irrigated land will pro- duce as much feed as a half section in average years, By conserving one- half of the water that is wasted’ in the slope country, 50 percent could be added to the productiveness of that) district, e Problems of Irrigatiow ~The problems involved im: irrigation are as follows: 1, Either the stream ‘has sufficient waiter and the fall is too small for fiversion by means of canals, 2. There may be sufficient fall and the land not suitable for irrigation, or 8. The fall may be sufficient and HATS “Of course it’s a good looker,” he said, “but the best thing about my new Lanpher hat i Get a -Lanpher and proveit The SKINNER A hat that is deservedly popular = The JACKSON $3.00 Right up to the minute in style ” is the price. 00 $4.00 Special Meetings * ate BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.

By the use of lignite: fuel small pumping projects may be established and will tend to overcome some of the problems mentioned. But, primar- ily, ‘the greatest meed of Western North Dakota is storage reservoirs to conserve the waters lost in spring floods, The percentage of run-off of West- ern North Dakota monthly iis as fol- tows: Zi November to February March |. Alpril May June July . Alagusit September October * Tn the majority of years over half the itotal flow passes in thirty days. Much of this water may be used in spring flooding on smal] gravity projects. This method while not eco- nomical in the use of water, may be obtained by a small expenditure per acre, : velopment of irrigation in the slope country is reservoirs, more reser- voirs, ald still-more reservoirs, Reservoirs on the larger and small- er streams, Reservoins in draws and coulces. By this means only can wealth and prosperity be assured to the country lying west of the Missour!
