Where prairies were intersected by a creek that eou'd he used to tloovl them (hey wort surrounded by a small levee thrown up with a road grader or a plow with wit'..a attachment. Large crops were produced. The prairies were practically free from injurious grasses and the water soft. The ricelieltls were handled like the bonanza wheat farms of ! Dakota, and fortunes were made, j Levees were cheaply constructed. Little attention was paid to drainage. \ Work was carelessly done, tlu? object ; being apparently to plant a large acre- j age and secure a certain number of , hiudtcls. l'ltimate failure was certain and hastened by a succession of dry years, in which creeks failed and reservoirs were found to be expensive and unreliable. To provide a reliable supply of water pumphtg plants for raising water front the streams were gradually put in. The elevation of the prairies above the streams varies from 0 to f>S feet, the larger portion being front 15 to 25 feet. 1 At first farms along the streams and 1 t lakes were irrigated. Graduallyflarge -urfaee canals were constructed (J? 'he -lightly elevated ridges of land which s xist in nearly every township. These 1 -urfaee canals are built front 20 to 15*s * feet in width, according to the area to s oe watered. Tito sides of the canal are aised from four to live feet with plows ;l uid scrapers or with grading liutchin- 1 ry. Side gates are inserted in the mbankment as frequently as nece>sa- 1 ry. Laterals are run from the main anal to accommodate remote farms. * Powerful pumping plants are erected at the bank of the river at the head of ' iho surface canal. These canals where * well constructed and operated prove c jntirely successful and make the rice rrop a practical certainty over a large ^ section of country. Scarcely bad the surface canals been 1 accepted as a success when southwestern Louisiana was startled by the an- 1 iiouncenieiit that there were strata of 1 gravel at 1125 to 12uu feet under the sur- 1 race of the entire section containing an ' unlimited supply of water which would ' of its own pressure come so near the ' surface that it could be readily pumped. ' Pipes of two, throe, four, six and eight inches in si/.e have been sunk to the gravel and pumped continuously for months without diminution of the t supply. Such is the facility with which j i these wells are made that a sb> inchJ c tube has been put down to the full p lepth required, 200 feet, in 14 hours. J 0 A system of such wells may be put i p lown 30 to 40 feet apart, and each one [ p ivill act independently and furnish as I nucli water as if it stood alone. Such i c i combination of wells may be united : list below water level and all bo run ! ,. >y one engine and pump. Water rises naturally in these wells to within 20 I 'cot of the surface, and a number of ! lowing wells have been secured.
