ESTIMATE ON WATER NEEDED FOR INTRAMURAL FIELD

Ordinary soil will take up about 40% of its volume in water.
It usually has about 10% or 15% already. This would call for say 25% by po ee
which would be approximately 1.5 gallons per cue fte, or 40 gale per cue yde

For 9,000 cue ydse of embankment, there would be required
9,000 x 40 == 360,000 gallons of water. The lowest rate the University pays
is 12¢ per 1,000 gale This would require 360 x 12 == $43.00.

This, of course, would be simply for settling and there would
be needed more for wetting slopes, and sprinkling each day for some timee Think

we should count on about $75.00 for water.

For seeding, think we should at this late date use the blue
grass and clover, or just straight blue grass. One pound will seed 200 sqe fte
This field is 430 x 380 for seeding, which gives approximately 164,000 sqe fte
which would require 820 pounds @ $12.50 cwt. ~ would cost $102.50. In addition,

think we should have about $50.00 worth of fertilizer.
