UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR REPORTS ON RAPID
GROWTH OF PORTABLE SPRINKLER IRRIGATION

PUIImon, Wosh. Today crops are
being irrigated by sprinklers in every

humid regions, sprinkling is used
almost exclusively wherever crops
are irrigated. In arid sections, where
irrigation is essential, sprinkling is
being accepted by ever-increasing
numbers of farmers, and in many
cases is used to replace older and
tried methods of applying water"
