Ten years ago dobin stood at the top of the list while only three or four tractors could be found on the grounds. For the past two years the horse has come off his pirnacie and has hadxto share honors with. the tractor.

But the horse has moved into another phase of the match, the show business. An innovation which commenced some years a!- ter the annual matches commenced the horse show has proved popular and this yearls show will be as good as or better than the show in 1949

ishing irrigation water to the farm garden The average farm pond is too small to be of any consequence in irrigating large tracts. but water Nvnlied from I pond can be used to good advantage in getting the most out of the small farm garden. Farm ponds are not difficult to build and maintain provided a. few fundamental rules are observed and f01k'Wed. 3! Ind large. the tend- ency in building farm ponds is to locate them below watersheds which will require large and expensive spillwaye without which they would soon be washed out by excessive storm water. Ordinarily the earth darn behind which the pond is formed should not have more than thirty acres of areas or timber cov- ered land in the watersbed- from which it receives runoff water. The pond should be loeateri in an area having impervious soils. Too often ponds have been built by far- mers only to find they would not hold water. Areas having soils of heavy clay, clay loam. or clay mix- tures,provide the best pond sites and materials for constructing the dam. If there are and and gravel. or limestone rock layers in the via- lnity of a .,roposed pond. there is more than an even chance that the pond will be a failure due to the loss of water through the pervious soil conditions. All farm ponds should have ade-' quate spillwa-ye to take care of over- flow when the pond is full. The more desirable epillways are those compoeed of a combination of six in ten inch pipe and a grassed wat- erway whereby runoff will first pass through the pipe laid under the dam and then over the grassed waterway when the capacity of the pipe is exceeded. one harorily to note the many washed out ponds throughout the countryside not having adequate eplllway facllitii to realise the -imoortance of . the spiiiway feature. g The earth damahould have flat slopes of two feet of horizontal dis- tance for each foot of rise on the downstream side. on the water side of the dam the slopes should be three feet of horizontal distance for
