This has resulted in Increased use of ground water. Through out the state, wells frequently tapped stratas containing water unsuitable for irrigation.

Growers can use this serv ice to determine water quality before extensive investments are made in irrigation equip ment. The County Extension Office has Extension Bulletin 808 which discusses water quality for irrigation, how to obtain a water analysis.

Improper spacing on the lat eral and too iarge lateral moves are common practice wnen sprinkler irrigation systems are observed. Spacing between sprinklers on a lateral should not exceed 50 of the diameter of the sprinkler pattern. With 316" nozzle operating at normal pres sures the diameter would be V4 of 96 feet or a 48 to 50 foot spacing;. Lateral move spacings should not exceed 60 of the diameter under wind conditions up to 5 miles per hour, or 50 of the diameter up to 10 m.p.h. or 30 of the diameter when wind con ditions exceed 10 miles per hour. Spacings between laterals with 316" nozzle the normal pres sure would be a maximum of 60 feet with winds to 5 miles per hour, 50 feet with winds to 10 m.p.h., and 30 feet with winds exceeding 10 m.p.h.

Sail Through Summer with Electric Air Conditioning There's really no reason for your family to Buffer through another, hot, muggy summer. Air Condi tioning is now within every budget . , . and what a difference Air Conditioning makes! Many families air condition their homes by stages; buy room units for bedrooms one year and for the remainder of the home later. Some units cool two or more rooms, depending on the room and unit size. If you are planning to build, it will cost little more to have year-round climate control for your entire home. It's money well spent, because your family will enjoy complete comfort and your home will be more valuable. Let's you sleep like a baby. You wake up refreshed, ready to do a day's work. And air conditioning is a real wife-saver. Take tha perspiration out of such hot chores as ironing, cooking and canning. It's almost like having spring-time freshness all sum mer. Air conditioning brings welcome relief to those suffering from asthma and hay fever because it fil ters dust and pollen from the air. (This factor also makes house cleaning easier, too.) v-J . ! 4 A heat pump is particularly effective and economi cal. It maintains the same temperature all year; heats your home in winter and cools it in summer. Although a heat pump costs more than other heat ing systems, you'll save in lower operating costs. Learn how easily you can air condition all or part of your home. Your rural electric cooperative will -give you free information.
