HP.HPhR: Duty at the farm. <br /> <br />MR, CARPLIUhR: Viha tis YO'.lr 60nsumpti \'e ilfle? <br />MR. HARPhR: The con3umptive use is, - I don't Imow in just <br />what way you use the term, but by consumpti>,e 1lse I mean the <br />amount of.watp.r benefici!:11,y nbso'l''<>ed by the plant in growing, <br />and that is something that is very indefinite; in f!:ct the Re- <br /> <br />clE:matioll Servi.ce is now running a set of experiments on several <br /> <br />projects to determine this bnt it hes never yet been done on a <br /> <br />large sCEle. <br /> <br />MR.

Ul..,Pl:;UTi:'JH: And that problibly increase as the project <br /> <br />gets older? <br />MR. HARPL]; Yes, sir, I believe it is 2lso true that the <br /> <br />waste water irom the farns of this project is greatly in excess. <br /> <br />of what it is in most localities. ~rhis is due to the clEY soils <br /> <br />in a large p2rt of the valley which cannot be so&ked up without <br /> <br />runninfl: considerable water over the surfnct and 1etting it wuste <br /> <br />at the lower end of thf3 far!'ls. It sO".1etillles t!:kes 24 hours <br /> <br />continuous run to cause the water to sub out and S o&k up the <br /> <br />ground between the creases. <br /> <br />G.J. <br />
