New Irrigation Is
Proposed Locally

What he thinks will prove a
boon to intensive local farming
operations in this area is being in
troduced this week to local farm
ers by j. w. Barnett of Tacoma.
It is a new system of irrigation
with either hot or cold water thru
capillary action. The water is
applied directly to the plants thru
reground cups and only as much
as is needed is supplied to them.
If plants are to be forced, hot
water is used. p.
Mr.. Barnett has had phenomenal
results from the application of this
system to his own gardens. Read
ers will get more details by read
ing the advertisement on another
page of this issue.
