Potato Yield

TOPSOIL AT the. K. B. johnson
and sons farm, Flathead county,
wasn't deep enough to level through
all the uneven spots in the potato
fields but irrigation was necessary.
The problem was solved with a
sprinkler irrigation system. And
johnson says he wouldn't try any
other kind of irrigation. The per-
forated pipe system spreads the wa
ter on as sure and even as natural
rain and there are no drainage prob
lens.
The sprinkler system is used on SO
acres of certified Melted Gem pota-
toes. The average production before
the sprinkler system was installed
was tons of potatoes per acre and
the least now under overhead irriga-
ton is IL to IA tons per acre. About
an inch of water per hour is applied
and sets are usually left 2 hours.
The system runs from in the morn
ing to IL at night for a full 14-hour
period, which means seven sets. The
entire field takes 80 sets or a &C.
hour period for complete irriga-
ton. Two men are needed to move
the pipes.
