Principal Objective
The associations principal OBJ
jective is to convince farmers
and those who deal with farm
ers that the new system is val
liable TO them. It also works to
raise industry standards. Last
year it produced a 375-page en-
cheering textbook on sprinkler
irrigation systems that won a
top public service award from
the American Society Of Asso-
citation Executives and praise
from Secretary Of Agriculture
Benson.
In 1850. sprinkler systems ac-
counted for only 3 per cent of all
irrigation. Today, the figure is
