WATERING PLANTS

Few persons realize that the wa.
tering of plant is a task which re-
qndres both experience and ability to
perform properly. There is all the
difference in the world between the
vigor OF a plant which is watered prop
erly and one which is watered i'm
properly. Watering of plants is not
like the feeding OF animals in which
regularity is OF prime Importance.
Roots do not take up water at in
tervals but constantly, and yet water
ing is something more than seeing
that the soil around the plant is kept
at uniform degree of moistness.
The principles which underlie the art
Of watering plants are the principles
OF plant growth.
The great mistake usually made is
TO water too often and too little at a
time. The ground around a plant
should be allowed to get dry, not
baked and crusted, but thoroughly dry
on the surface, before water is ap-
piled. Then the watering should be
thorough. The ground should be
soaked. Few persons realize how
much water IL takes to thoroughly
soak soil. None OF those who outline
irrigation reservoirs for their gardens
make these reservoirs large enough
unless they secure expert advice. |

enough to think they could pump
enough water to supply half an acre
of garden during a dry season. IN

Ia to run furrow close to a row Of
plants and then allow a thin stream

the slope must not be steep. This is
the reason that in many irrigated Sec

down such furrow will soak out into
the ground to one side for from one
to two feet, depending on the length
of time the water is running, without
wetting the top of the soil except in
the bottom Of the furrow. Many oh.

The difficult thing in watering

is to tell when TO water. While most
people water too often, IT is of course
quite possible not to water often
enough, and while the injury from too
frequent waterings is marked, that of
allowing plants to get too dry is even
