irrigation, by the use of perforated four inch 

 tiling, which is buried in the ground about 

 two feet deep and seven feet apart in straight 

 rows. A piece of sewer pipe with an elbow is 

 placed at the end of the tiling with opening 

 just above the ground in which to pour the 

 water, or place the hose to fill the tiling with 

 water. When the tiling is full of water it will 

 spread out for three and a half feet on each side, 

 irrigating a space seven feet wide. 



Straw can be put over the tiling before fill- 

 ing in the trench. This will prevent the holes 

 in the tiling from getting stopped up with par- 

 ticles of earth. Lay the tile in the trench on 

 a dead level. The French plant their seed in 

 rows immediately over the tiling, but it may 

 do as well to plant between the tiling.
