MAKES HIS OWN "RAIN."

Woodbury., n. J.-While the fre-
quent rains of the spring have divert
ed attention from irrigation to some
extent among farmers, yet this up to
date method of farming is bound to
come in south Jersey sooner or later,
and the matter is being discussed at
all gatherings of farmers. The irri-
CATION plan of Arthur Seabrook, in
Cumberland county has been visited
by men from all over the country, and
they are delighted with the results.
DIR. John C. Curry, former council
man of this city, who has small
truck garden surrounding his pretty
home on Holroyd place, installed an
experimental plant this spring, and
it is now in full operation. 1t is
known as the overhead SYSTEM"
and is operated every day with the
best of results. Two long lines of
overhead pipes with operatives at
regular distances are stretched the
entire distance of his lot, at the end
of which a well is dug. The water
is raised from the well by gasoline
pump and forced through the pipes,
which are so arranged that they can
be turned to throw the little
streams in any direction desired; wa
ter can be turned into a spray or
thrown out to fall like a gentle Or
heavy rain.
