COUNTY AGENT'S
NOTES
Irrgatlng the War Garde
In is the general opinion that
greatse and water will not mix. This
does not apply In the case of the war
garden since the more "elbow
grease" you use in conjunction, witn
the Irrigation water the better the
results. Many of our gardens are
Irrigated too often and not cultivated
enough. The practice of throwing a
little water over the surface of the
ground every day and depending on
this for crop production Is one to be
condemned. ,
The feeding roots of plants should
naturally be a little below the sur
face of the soil and If the subsoil con
tains the malsture, It does not matter
if the surface Is no more than a dust
mulch.
A garden 'should be cultivated af
ter each Irrigation. We do not mea.n
atter each sprinkling, but after each
Irrigation.
Water the ground until It Is wet
to a depth of several inches, then
within 24 hours following, cultivate
the surface lightly to precent the
forming of a crust, and ordinarily
that piece of ground shotald need no
more water for a week, and you will
get better results than if you simply
sprinkle the surface each day.
