HE above illustration indicates a type of structure embodying the use of Redwood throughout, which has been adopted as standard for wood type at the University Farm, Davis, California.

This suggestion, as well as Double Wall Gate, illustrated in Bulletin No. 2-A, is made available through the courtesy of S. H. Beckett, Associate Professor of Irrigation Investigations and Practice, of the College of Agriculture, IJniversity of California.

Regarding these suggestions, Professor Beckett says:

"These structures are used in the delivery of water from field laterals to border or basin checks. We recommend the single wall headgate for the heavier soil types, thdt is the loams, clay loams, and clays. For the lighter soils such as sands, sandy loams, etc., we recommend the use of thc double gate. We have had both of these types of structures in use on the University Farm for a number.of years and it is our opinion that the designs and dimensions are approximately correct."

WE'RE ALL DEBTORS

No man can fully discharge his debt to society and to Providence, and the only real happiness we can get out of life comes through our efrorts to pay that debt. We ovre,, for the liberties we enjoy, for the plotection that s'urrounds us, for bodily comfort, for everything that is good in otlg daily lives. Countless thousands, unknown to us, ministtr to our needs, our comforts, and our joys. We must do our best to pay this great debt.
