Devices to Measure
Soil Water Content
Used in Sams Valley
Devices to measure the water
content of soil have been in
stalled on three farms in the
Sams Valley area, County Agent
W. B. Tucker said today.
The peg-like devices, which
measure the water content at 6,
12, 18 and 24 inches, have been
placed for demonstration pur
poses on the Strauss Brothers,
Earl Peffley, and Burreson
Brothers farms.
Each of the three farms is
under the Cliff Ranch irrigation
system, which is privately
owned, and each of the three
uses sprinkling systems for irri
gation work.
To Make Readings
Operators of each of the three
farms will make readings on
the water content once every
three days, and accurate records
will be kept until the end of the
irrigating season, when the de
vices will be removed.
The "pegs" are so constructed
that they will absorb water from
the soil at varying depths. A
small box, which looks much
like a Geiger counter, is attached
to them to obtain a reading,
-based on the principal of elec
trical resistance.
Governs Irrigation
The pegs are placed in the
ground at various points on the
three farms in order to obtain an
average water content. The in
formation gained allows the
farmers to irrigate at the most
advantageous time, and to turn
off irrigation water when the
water content of the soil reaches
the heeded level, thus saving
water.
Tucker pointed out that the
only problem with the devices
is that they will not work, well in
neavy clay type soil, which tends
to pull away from the pegs when
it becomes dry. .
