HOW SHALL WE IRRIGATE 2

In the irrigation OF an orange grove. vine
yard. orchard, or plantation OF small fruit.
the question of first Importance is: How
shall we irigate our land? Shall we follow
the old system Of periodically flooding the
entire surface in midsummer. when all the
climatic conditions rebel against the process,
or shall We do just what nature does when
we have good year-apply the water
abundantiy in winter and store it III the soil
to come to the surface by capillary at,rac-
ton. But some good soils will not retain
enough OF the moisture deposited daring
the Winter to supply what is needed during
The long dry summer. 1t We food such
soils. we knnw that the moisture below be-
ing exhausted, the roots seek it near the
surface where, in a few days, they will be in
dry ground again, the tree withers, and we
must flood ag;tin So We have q succession
of tra~t> and talnines.
Now. il We can find some way OF convey
ing moisture 10 the soil below the surface,
never allowing any water on the surface ex-
cept the rain. keeping lie surface dry all
summer long, We know the temperature OF
the soil will be more even; that it will not
bake but remain loose, SO the roots may so
| deep in search of plant tnDu; that mach less
| water will BE- required, as none, or very lit
tie, will be lost by evaporation; that the la
Dor OF cultivation will be es>ened that the
soil being dry to The depth OF three or tour
inches, the weeds will not grow.
This is sub-irrigati"n, and is worthy our
thoughtful consideration. Evidently, we
have to adopt some better system OF irriga-
! tiun than the old one which has nearly rtl-
ined some oi our orchards although part
| OF llle damage done may be because OF the
abn,e of surface irrigation, 100 much water
| having been ,.sed. Sill The question comes
up: l. it HE proper way to irrigalc?
