I guess it was great great grandfather who started the irrigation here in 1903. He got the licence, or was applying for the licence to get the irrigation here. MG: Do you mind if I take down notes while you talk or write extra questions while you are talking? HS: No, I don’t mind. MG: Wow, 1903, I was just talking with Ira Blakley about irrigation. So that started in 1903? HS: Yes, that is the year Mr. McKinnon applied for the licence to take water out of Battle Creek for irrigation, and then he built a dam up where the weir is now, and he started irrigating. Well, I am not sure what year they had the dam completed, but in 1912, it was wrecked with spring flooding and they had to rebuild it. Then by that time there were other people involved. There was Mr. Pete Reesor, David Wood, and they were getting easement from Sophie Richardson to go across her land with irrigation. MG: An easement is a payment? HS: Uh, you have to get permission to dig ditches across someone else’s property, and in order for them to bring water down from Battle Creek to here to irrigate, they had to get what they called “easements” to come across these people’s land with irrigation ditches.

  • Boron and Salinity Survey of Irrigation Projects in Saskatchewan
    - 242 - BORON AND SALINITY SURVEY OF IRRIGATION PROJECTS IN SASKATCHEWAN W. Nicholaichuk, A.J. Leyshon, Y.W. Jame and C.A. Campbell INTRODUCTION Boron is an essential element for plant growth but the limits between deficiency and toxicity are very narrow. Generally, B toxici­ ty becomes a problem, in three cases: (1) overfertilization of B-deficient plants with B; (2) in arid soils where B is inherently high; and (3) under irrigation either with B rich waters or where improper irrigation management may result in salt and /or B accumula­ tion in the root zone. Boron fertilization is not a common practice in Western Canada so problems with the first case have not arisen. With regard to the second and third cases, problems of B toxicity have been overshadowed by the related problem of salinity. As a result, very little atten­ tion has been paid to B toxicity. Recently, concern has been expressed about the quantities of B that might result from the operation of the Coronach Thermal Power Plant ash lagoons and heat exchanger reservoirs. It is feared that if these are discharged into the Poplar River it may lead ·to undesirable B levels in the irrigation water downstream. The International Poplar River Water Quality Board and Committees of the International Joint Commission apparently encountered diffi­ culties in trying to establish acceptable concentrations for B and TDS in the Poplar River. They suggested that there was a paucity of data on which to come to a satisfactory conclusion and suggested that little original research on B toxicity had been carried out since Eaton's sand culture work in 1944.
