Some lmve advanced the argument that certain soils do not requii'e more water, be
ing naturally supplied by sub-irrigation. This area is so limited we may pass it with
out further "notice. Where is your garden spot that does not demand an nlmost daily
supply? The feeding roots of the pear and apple trees rarely extend below twelve
inches, and your sub-irrigation would have to run slufllow indeed to be beueficiijl.
Another trite phrase is that in "sticky" you can make mud balls at any season of the

fruit is of small size and immature through lack of moisture. Having used water on
