, lying on the surface, so as to keep it open, would, by preventing loss of moisture by capillary attraction, ensure the safety of trees from death by drought. In planting trees in hard land, more particularly in hot dry climates, it is advisable to dig deeply or trench the whole ground ; for this reason, that the water sinking into the soil is not so soon lost as when only pits are dug for the trees. If the trees are planted at two yards apart, and pits are dug a yard square, only one-fourth o...f the land is dug. Through the un- dug hard soil the moisture will rise by capillary attraction, and will also abstract the water from the dug portion of the land, and none will remain for the trees, which will suffer in consequence. Irrigation primarily from wells and afterwards from canals was designed with the best intentions and hopes of success- to prevent famines, to counteract the effects of droughts, to insure good crops, and cheap food for the population, to bring into cultivation land supposed to be unculturable from want of water; and it was further supposed that a good return in cash as interest would be made for the money spent on irrigational works.
