 PRESS COMMENTS 



"From the author (Mr. F. R. Arndt) a copy of Fruitgrowing 

 under Irrigation has been received. The work is devoted 

 especially to the conditions in the Murray Valley, and is an 

 exhautive treatise on a subject of great importance at the time 

 the use of Australian rivers is being considered. . . . The 

 man who intends to enter the fruitgrowing industry will find 

 valuable information in the chapter devoted to the cost of 

 starting an orchard and the time that must elapse before any 

 return can be obtained." Daily Herald, Adelaide, 24th December, 

 1918. 



"From Mr. F. R. Arndt, of Berri, has come to hand copies of 

 his exceedingly interesting and informative book on Fruitgrowing 

 under Irrigation. The publication contains about 120 pages of 

 facts and comments, which every irrigation fruitgrower should 

 be acquainted with." South Australian Register, Adelaide, 

 24th December, 1918. 



"For the large and growing number of settlers in our irrigation 

 areas who, in becoming irrigationists, are adopting a mode of 

 life new to them this book will be found of great value, and there 

 are few among the ranks of experienced irrigationists who may 

 not derive some benefit from its perusal." Murray Pioneer, 

 Renmark, 3rd January, 1919. 



"I have carefully read Mr. Arndt's book on Fruitgrowing under 

 Irrigation. ... It is, to my way of thinking, the best con- 

 nected study on the subject published in Australia, on an Aus- 

 tralian basis. The explanations in relation to all field operations 

 are simple and to the point, and most practical in character. 

 My personal opinion is that a copy of this book should be 

 in the hands of every new settler or intending settler who proposes 

 entering upon fruitgrowing on the irrigation areas of the Murray- 

 Valley." GEO. QUINN, Horticultural Instructor to the S.A. 

 Government, in the Journal of the Department of Agriculture of 

 South Australia, April, 1919.

Dear Mr. Arndt, I have read with deep interest your book, 

 Fruitgrowing under Irrigation. Your statements are very clear 

 and straightforward, and the information conveyed must be 

 very helpful to anyone undertaking fruitgrowing under your 

 conditions. I congratulate you on a good piece of work.

Dear Mr. Arndt, I have just returned to my office from an 

 18 months' war emergency job . . . (and) find on my desk 



the book entitled Fruitgrowing under Irrigation I find 



it intensely interesting.
