Cotton is the primary crop grown on the 500-acre farm that is being developed on the new research sta tion site. Moore and his staff of five are in stalling irrigation systems on the 125 acres under cultivation this year. They will use regular furrow irri gation, and are looking at various types of drip systems and a modified sprinkler. The modified sprinkler system, called Low Energy Precision Appli cation (LEPA), has drop tubes on 80- inch centers that apply water right at ground level, Moore said. Although some systems travel across the field, the research center uses one that travels in a small circle. “This system was developed by the people at the Lubbock center,” Moore said. . “We’ll experiment with various types of drip systems,” he said. “We’re looking at 15 different sys tems.” Drip systems operate at three depths, he said. One lies on the sur face, another is buried eight inches deep, and a third is buried 12 inches deep. “Some are put on every row and some every other row,” he said. Water pressure and the size and spacing of emitters controls the amount of water deposited at each location. “We used different size emitters because what we wanted to do in this study was to be able to turn on the entire system and put essentially the same amount of water along the en tire field,” Moore said. Each plot has 10 rows, Moore said, and the flow rate can be con trolled by changing the pressure. On experiments with irrigation systems, only one variety of cotton is used “so we don’t further complicate the procedure,” Moore said. Although they are studying cotton because it is the primary crop in this area, the results would be applicable to other crops, he said. “Methods of irrigation are contin ually changing,” Moore said. “We learn new ways to do things. The major obstacle with trickle irrigation is that it is too expensive for most field crops.” One acre requires 13,068 feet of line on 40-inch centers, he said. “There are some inexpensive type systems that probably have a short lifetime,” he said, but most cost from $ 1,000 to $ 1,200 per acre. Another complication is the prob lem of plowing up a line buried only eight inches deep. Those buried deeper won’t wet the surface to ger minate seed, he said. “We’re trying to develop one that can be buried deep but still wet the surface,” he said. Irrigation experiments are deter mined by climatic conditions, includ ing solar radiation, wind movement, relative humidity and air tempera ture. “We’re doing some work now with drip irrigation studies, where we have experiments set up looking at frequency of irrigation, using two, four, eight and 12-day cycles,” he said.

According to legend, the wind di rection precisely at sunrise on the day following spring’s start will tell what kind of weather and farming conditions the next year will hold. If th£ wind, called Taba’na Yuna’e in the Comanche tongue, comes from the east or northeast, there will be plenty; if it blows from the north or northwest, conditions will he aver age. A west or southwest wind doesn’t bode well, and a south wind is just plain bad news. Mato Nompa — or “Chief” Frank Runkles — began his dance Tues day. The southerly wind blew so hard that Indian dancers from an Am arillo Boy Scout Explorer Pod to shield a ceremonial fireasiil ignited.
