Synopsis

Practical irrigation for the farm: plan, apply, and save water without sacrificing yields.

This book offers a clear, field‑tested path to using water wisely on Western farms. It explains how soils, crops, and climate affect how much water crops need, and it shows how to match irrigation to the land you grow on. You’ll find guidance that respects real farm conditions, from soil preparation to harvest.

- Learn how moisture needs vary by crop and soil, and why one method may be right for one plant but not another
- Discover when and how to irrigate grains, corn, and other crops for best results
- Explore different irrigation methods, including flooding and soil‑conditioning practices like deep plowing
- Get practical notes on canal systems, water measurement, and how to manage water rights for fair distribution

Ideal for readers of farming in arid regions, including farmers and serious gardeners who want to optimize water use without guesswork.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The great importance of artificial irrigation to the Agricultural development of our Country, and the mani fest need of some simple guide to the proper application of water to field crops, has prompted the preparation of this work. It is written for practical men, and especially to assist the beginner in farming by irrigation. The limits of the work have precluded extended discussion, and mere theories have been avoided as much as possible. Greeley Nurseries and Gardenside A. E.G. Fruit Farm, Greeley, Colo., May,
