IRRIGATION.

By Aquarius.

The following article ou the subject which ia now attracth-g co much public attention is contributed by a resMent m the Aehbur ton couoly having Urge interests m tt»c districfc, and considerable expeiieiiCO on th< subject upon which he writes. We publish it that all aidca of thi3 important question may be fully discussed :— It ia a somewhat curious fact that while the above subject is agitating tue public mind, both speakerß and writtra appear l ooofiae themselves to one sido 'of the ques tion— ue. the benefits to be derived from irrigatioD. So far aB lam aware no attempt has been made of late yi-ais to put boib aide* of the question fairly and aquartly before the publio, and this is to be deplored because the subject is one of suoh importance that it behoves the people <f »ny section who think of going m for irrigation, to ac quaint themselves thoroughly with both ■ides of the question, and carefully weigh m the r mind Due advantage of the prospec tive benefits to be deiivetl against the verj certain liabilities to be incurred. Speaking as one having bad some small experience both m the matter of putting water on and taking water off land, 1 say without hesita tion that those whose have not had ex ptri noe have no idea of the difficult es to be encountered m watering land, and I say further that it will be found m practioe that, when tbe attempt is made to irrigate any considerable area of our undulating pLius, without going to very great expense, it ia only possible to irrigate about one third of the land. In a dry season, settlers Beeing the wonderful effect of an overflow from the water races, jump to the conclusion that given a sufficient quantity of water they Would have nothing more to do but make their fortunes. But they omit to take several matters into consideration. Ia the fitut place tbe water general;;? runs down a galley where the land is very muoh better than on the risea, and if the matter escapes the eye of the ranger no further liability is incurred, but when irrigation is instituted the settler will have to make provision for distributing the water over his farm, and also for dealing with the surplus water, and whatever else results he is sure of a good water rate to pay. Now, m all standard works on irrigation two things stand out prominently. First, the necessity . of securing proper drainage for the surplus water, and secondly, the fact that if irriga tion ia a Bucceaa heavy manuring must follow, and tbe observance of one and disregard of the other has been the cause of success and want of success m various irrigation schemes. Success m the first place m those districts where irrigation, though of considerable area, has been con fined to one estate, and failure m some parts of the world where irrigation has been instituted, only to find after the first year that) the population was too poor to pay water rateß and buy manures. Anyone who has read the various reports and articles that have appeared m the Australasian dur ing the last twenty years on irrigation can not help beiog struck with the fact that the self-contained schemes have invariably turned out the best, whilst the larger schemes introduced and managed by various boards, trusts, or County Councils are more or leas under a cloud. Thus the Australasian of January 22. — "An enormous sum of money has been epent m water conservation, but up to the present the results achieved have fallen far short of the expectations of a few years ago, and many of the irrigation trusts are hope lessly m arrears as regards the payment of intereat on money borrowed for cbe con struction of irrigation works. Where water for irrigation is available, it has been waste fully uacd, or it has been applied to crops that did not pay for watering. The time has now arrived when land owners should be instructed regarding the best crops to grow under irrigation, and when and how the water should be applied. The matter is one to which the attention of the department of Agriculture may with advantage be directed. , But what the landowners chiefly

require is instruction, and the departmen should see that they get it." There is an interesting article m the same paper of the same date by "R.1).," which will repay perusal. In 1886 there appeared m the New Zealand &>untri/ Journal a series of articles by Edward Dobson, M. lost. 0.E. , on " Notes on water supply for irrigation," m which extracts are given from Mr Deakin'a (Viotoriti) reporb on "Irrigation m Western America. This latter report is most interesting, dealing as it does with the question of irrigation under almost identical conditions and sur roundings to thoße that exist here, and thiß report should be m the hands of every counci', board, or trust about to undertake irrigation works. Kead m conjunction with Mr Dobson's articles, one gets a fairly comprehensive grip of the subject m a com paratively »mall compass. The following extract from the JNew Zealand Country Journal will show some of the difficulties to be contended with. — " But almost of equal importance is the establishment of a thorough system of drainage m every irrigated dis trict ; without which irrigation may become a curße instead of a bleßsing; low lands may be swamped with surplus irrigated water, and valuable pastures rendered cold and sour, and covered with a growth of rushes and marsh weeds. That thiß ia no imaginary danger is fully borne out by Mr Deakin's remarks on the drainage question at Fresno, California, from which we extract the following de tails : — " Fifteen years ago its candy soil, sparßely covered by straggling herbage.graßa- Ibbb and treeless for sooreß of miles, main tained only a few herds of cattle. Thera was no sign of cultivation within its borders, water could only be obtained by sinking forty to eighty feet, and the rainfall was both irregular and insufficient. Water can now bestruok anywhere across the whole plain at ten feet and often at six feet. The seepage from the canals haa been great in deed, for it seemß to have filled the whole subsoil which has Bucked it up like a sponge till it) can hold no more. One important consequence is that irrigation by flooding or furrows is being abandoned at Fresno, as the irrigation by seepage maintained a constant supply within easy reaoh of the roots of trees and vines. . . One now hears of suits against canals on acoount of their super saturation of adjoining vineyards. The Eisen vineyard, one of the oldest and best known m the district, is now involved m a auit, which its proprietor is bringing m self defence against the canal proprietor for flooding his land. It is not only excess of flooding that has to be avoided, for excess of Beepage is just as bad. Not only is the creation of a morass on the surface fatal, but the morass condition below is propor tionately injurious. . . When checks have not been used on ground with an acute

incline, the water has soon worn deep channels through it, utterly ruining it for agriou tural purposes; or again, when water has been allowed to flow too freely, the con sequence has been that all the fertilising elements of the soil have been washed away. In flooding, the aim ia therefore to put do more water on the land than it will at once and equally absorb, or can part with without creating a current sufficient to carry off sediment. The neglect of these precautions has ciused the abandonment of several settlements m Utah before the use of irriga tion was properly understood. It would be possible by grading and terracing to water very steep slopes, but the labor would not be paid for by any cereals that could be raised."— (Deakin). ••It is not easy to say beforehand what would be the effect of establishing an ex tensive Bystem of irrigation upon the Canter buiy plains. On the shingle subsoils, with only a few inches m depth of surface soil, terracing and flooding, so profitable when applied to deep loam?, is evidently quite inapplicable, nor can it be said without many trials, whether the water will be rapidly absorbed by the loose shingle or whether the ground will become silted up under irrigation ; and whether the effect of flooding the land with large quantities of water will be to raise the saturated level to within a few feet of the surface as m some of the American instances before quoted." — £j Z. Couiitty Journal " Undoubtedly one of the cauEea which has militated against the advance of irri gation has been the enormous area of most of the trusts. Immense lengths of channels have had to be constructed, and even whore there if ao adequate aupply of water at the headworlw there m great difficulty ac wall *o

those who wish to irrigate. When water is wan'.ed, it ia frequently not aVdiUble, con- 1 acqucntly cultivators are aveise to putting m valuable oropa thab may be ruined because they cannot be watered at the proper time. . . In spite of all drawback* iuch as inexperience and the difficulty of obtaining water when it is most wanted, irrigation has scored a most pronouueed success this seasou. . . The spur ot necessity has taught trie fa*merß » great dea) m connection wilh irrigation and they ma; be expected to profit by it m the future."— Australasian. | Now, I think I may &afely say that the | population of the Ashburfcon County can hold its own m point of intelligence with any ] other county distriot of equal numbers j still we should not arrogate to ourselves any great superiority of intellect, aud when we find that m America and Australia, mistakes have been made with disastrou results, it behoves hb io rake advantage o! our neighbors' experience and make sure of our ground before embarking on a larg undertaking, the failure of whioh will delay the cause of irrigation indefinitely. There oan be no questiou that the proper use o' water m suitabe localities will work wonders, an 1 would recommend all those who have not already dona so to obtain aou read Mr Deakio's report on " irrigation it. Western America."

I cannot do better than quote the con cluding paragraph m Mr Dobson's article on irrigation m the January number of the New Zealand County Journal, 1887 : — On the whole, therefore, it would seem de sirable on the introduction of irrigation into any district, to prcceed tentatively, as the beat means of avoiding mistakes, which might have the effect of retarding in definitely the realisation of what promises to mark, if well managed, the commence ment of a long era of progress and suooess m Canterbury, viz., a well considered By stem of irrigation." Owing to the long continued dry weather the publio are apt at the present time to be led away by a temporary wave of enthusiasm into commiting themselves to some large aoheme whioh they may ultimately regret ; whereas if the matter is fully considered, and the pros and cons duly weighed, some aoheme may be introduced that will conduce largely and permanently to the prosperity of the county.

A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Alavum NhVER fails any ona m X-VIdAUIII ijuormpreflicsi-anb. To | eufferera from Sick Headache, D?spep3ia, , Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend n need and a friend indeed." Asßist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements an^ diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum: is the best. Ite secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation haveteßti* fled not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No oare is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m its aotion. It ia at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonio, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a, popular form. ALAXUM COKES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the ..system of nutrition./ NOTE THIS WELL,- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the organs of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment/ of the whole being. Suoh a con- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action ia to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and caunot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.' It may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m such an instance the dealer is not the one'who needs help.
