Irrigation Farmers
Owe Debt to Cotton
?Ikiuo,?Idaho Annual?nigs
mounting into hundreds of thousands
of dollars can be brought to farmers
of irrigated lands in the West as a
result of a series of experiments with
cotton linings for irrigation ditches j
conducted recently.
The National Cotton Council was
advised recently that during a six
months' test period a mile stretch I
of bituminous lined canal reinforc
ed with cotton fabric saved $2,880
worth of water which would have j
be<>n lost in a similar stretch of un
lined canal.
Since the cost of the cotton rein
farced- bituminous carud is approx- [?
imately $5,000 per mile, the initial
investment would pay for itself with- ,
in two six months irrigation

Concrete Roads Can Take It
Once more newspaper headlines like these, following
the recent heavy freeze, broke the bad news to motorists.
But there's another side to the story. Concrete resisted
the damaging effects of heavy rains and severe cold?
saved millions of dollars for motorists.
Concrete bee the "bridging strength'1 needed to
keep pavements from breaking up when the support

Because of this simple engineering fact, your con
