In the growing of small berries, II
rieation is destined to play an i'm
portant part. even in the states Of good
rainfall. In the somi-arid states ir-
rleation for fruit-growing is an ac-
cepted necessity but up to the present
time 1t has been thought to be quite un-
necessary for fruit growers in the East
Ia consider irrigation Perhaps one
Of the most successful Of irrigation ex-
periments was conducted at the Wis
consin station. where the yield Of
strawberries was immensely increased
as well as sir quality.
There is one point In favor Of ir.
nrated berries that should not be over
looked. and that Is the certainty Of a
crop in very dry years when most ber-
ries prove failure The irrigated
berries being as abundant as usual
yet bring a higher price than usual On
account Of the scarcity The New Jer-
