The normal condition of the
average farmer throughout the
East is one of inquiry as to
weather conditions. His face is
upturned to the sky, he watches
the appearance of the clouds and
asks anxiously "Will this rain
hold off for a day more ?" or, 81
am afraid these are only wind
clouds" as the case may be. He
must wait for rain in order to
plow or plant, or he cannot plow
or plant because of rain. The
greatest proof of the value OF
irrigation lies in the fact that ne
/ farmer who has once practiceC
it, is ever willing to change tC
farming under conditions where
he is dependent upon natural anC
!, uneveniy distributed rainfall
; The farmer who has his moist
|, ure supply under his control
! knows what he can do, and goes
ahead and does it with almost a
much certainty of results as th'
, contractor projects and build
his house. The satisfaction t.
q the farmer of knowing that th'
= labors of half a season will no
. be rendered void because of
= week of untimely drouth, is on
! that cannot be fully appreciated
except by those who have trie'
both systems.
