Excerpt from The Economical Irrigation of Alfalfa in Sacramento Valley The total depths of 30, 36, 48, and 60 inches were given in indi vidual applications of inches, 9 inches, 12 inches, and 15 inches, respectively. In 1910, 1912, and 1913, following winters of low rain fall, the first irrigations were given immediately after the first cuttings, but in 1911, 1914, and 1915, following relatively wet winters, irrigation began after the second cutting. All of the plats were large enough to represent normal field practice, so the work should be classed as field experiments rather than laboratory experiments. Irrigation water was supplied from a pumping plant On the tract delivering approximately cubic foot per second.

Excerpt from Irrigation of Alfalfa in Imperial Valley Seeding - Alfalfa can be satisfactorily broadcasted or seeded with a drill. Experiments have so far indicated that drilling is the prefer able practice, if the seed is not planted too deeply (not deeper than one-half inch in heavy soils, or one and one-half inches in light soil). Some remove the seed tubes from behind the drill discs in order to pre vent this deep seeding, especially where the land is to be irrigated immediately after planting. October is considered the best month for planting, although alfalfa can be successfully sown at almost any time between October 1 and April 15. The heavy content of silt in the irrigation water during periods in the fall is the greatest Objection to fall planting, while the heavy Winds often cause much trouble in the Spring.

Excerpt from Irrigation in the Sacramento Valley, California In making a study of the irrigation conditions and possibilities of a drainage basin nearly one-half as large as the State of Illinois, it was found impossible to cover the entire area in a thorough man ner. Besides, such a course did not seem necessary. It was thought possible to present with a fair degree of accuracy conditions as they exist throughout the entire area by making detailed studies of a few representative localities and examining in a more general way the remainder of the territory.

Excerpt from Alfalfa Farming in America At that time no one knew anything about soil in'oc ulation and the behavior of alfalfa was a profound mystery. It now occurs to the writer to explain the curious behavior of the alfalfa in this manner: up the canyon a mile or two was an established alfalfa field, not a good stand, but thrifty. When this field was irrigated the surplus water flowed on down to the lower field and went over that. It seems clear now that in this manner the bacteria were intro duced from the established field to the new one. As long as the writer had connection with this ranch, some twelve years, this field continued to produce heavy mom of alfalfa, though not so wonderfully rank as the earlier growths. Doubtless the excessive irrigation leached away some fertility, and the con tinual removal of hay without returning any manure or fertilizer told, even on that very deep and per vious soil. However, the last crops that the writer remembers growing on this field could hardly have been less than 5 tons to the acre.
