Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Irrigation and Drainage Bulletin 373, The Irrigation of Lucerne. By Dr. S. Fortier (chief of Irriga tion Investigations, United States Department of Agriculture), is reprinted, especially because of the interest which has been shown in Western Australia in Lucerne growing, which makes it advisable that growers, present and prospective, shall be placed in possession of the latest practical information and advice regard ing the best. Methods of irrigated culture and the utilisation of water applied to agriculture. The reprinted work, with its numerous illustrations, will be found generally adaptable to the conditions ruling in many portions of this State. The whole question of irrigation must be viewed from the standpoint of yvill it pay 17 Some people, carried away with the possibilities of irrigation. Lose sight of the all-important financial end of the question, and make extensive investment in apparatus which is unnecessary or unsuited to the work to be done. Others, from ill-advised ideas of economy, endeavour to irrigate without properly laying out their land, and spend on labour alone many times the cost of a suitable scheme. To speak intelligently about irrigation we must know the cost and the value, not only of the undertaking as a whole, but of the individual parts thereof. These are subjects of primary importance. The actual cash outlay necessary for operation is often considered as the cost of irrigation, but allowance has to be made for interest or depreciation on the investment in the irrigation plant.

Book Description
Excerpt from Farm Drainage in the United States: History, Status, and Prospects The most recent rapid developmental era for drainage reclamation drew to a close about 1965. Drainage is the most extensive soil and water manage ment activity in agriculture. Approximately 110 million acres of the land within farms are artificially drained in the United States. About 9 million acres, or 25 percent, of the irrigated cropland in the Western States are artificially drained. Drainage can also have adverse effects in some situations by reducing or degrading wetlands vital to wildlife and serving hydrologic functions such as flood flow regulation. Drainage activities can also affect the quality of water bodies receiving drainage water. Drainage investigations in usda began with the Reclamation Act of 1902. This act is best known as creating the Bureau of Reclamation in the Depart ment of the Interior. A drainage unit to service irrigation project planning was simultaneously authorized for usda. In 1962, Public Law 87-732, the Drainage Referral Act, was enacted which prohibited usda from assisting landowners in draining potholes and marshes in Minnesota and the Dakotas if wildlife would be materially harmed. Currently, usda technical and financial assistance is no longer provided as a matter of policy except in unique circumstances as part of a conservation system related to irrigation water control, or as an essential element of an environmental system of practices. Thus, for usda, this publication represents an end to the era of strong usda support and assistance for drainage development activities.
