Many of Plants.
WAYS OF IRRIGATING GARDEN
Suggestions Given Showing How the
Work Should Be Done for Best
ResuIts-Thorough Cultivation
Should Be Given.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Garden crops drink lots of water.
1t is just as essential to their growth
as is plantfood or sunlight. Pracu-
cally every home gardener who has
looked upon his thriving garden with
pride in the spring has experienced
various degrees of lost hope during
midsummer droughts when the plants
he has worked with so carefully stand
with dropped heads for lack OF mois-
ture. Experienced gardeners always
provide some means of supplying
moisture to keep their gardens grow
ing vigorously through dry spells. va
rious ways of irrigating gardens are
outlined by garden specialists OF the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture.
The essentials for the successful
watering of garden crops, they say
are, first, an adequate supply OF wa
ter, and second, suitable means of dis
tributing 1t to the plants. Whenever
the garden is within reach Of city
water supply a hose can be used 10
advantage, drawing water from the
regular piping system. Where sup
ply of this kind Is not available. often
1t is possible to pump water with q
small gas engine and q pump. Inc
source of water will vary with loca
conditions, and each gardener mus
work out his own problem, but thert
are well-defined principles regarding
its application.
Too Much sprinkIing Injurious.
Frequent sprinkling Of garden
plants and the surface soil with TIT
hose usually does more harm thai
good. The best results can be real
lied where water is applied only afte
the soil has become reasonably dry
and the plants are almost at the poin
of showing the need Of water. tn
soil should then be well soaked, an
no more water applied until 1t is agai
fairly dry. In the meantime thor
ough cultivation should be given, be
ginning as soon as the surface sol
is dry enough to work.
There are three distinct methods q
applying the water. The overhead
sprinkler system, used by many ma
ket gardeners, consists of pipe Y Inc
or / inch In diameter with a line
holes Of about 1.32 inch in diamete
drilled at intervals Of every 2 fe'
along one side. The pipe Is supper
