GOOD POINT ON IRRIGATION No Greater Mistake Could Be Conceived Con-ceived Than That of Throwing Water on Planta In Sunlight. A good many people have an Idea that water shall not bo thrown on plants In full sunlight. No greater mistake could be conceived, says a correspondent In Gardening. The damage to a crop occurs during the noon hours, and If we could spray our fields between 9 and 3 o'clock, say once an hour, we could overcome severe droughts very well. In our case there was never enough water uied to wet the earth so as to form crust; we used the wheel hoe freely to keep the soil mulch In shape and only enough water to prevent flagging In the hot sun. The results obtained were beyond expectations. Plants made excellent progress and the cost of this treatment would be no greater than the constant weeding and hoeing hoe-ing needed In a wet season; added Is the high market prices for all goods of fine quality.
