A Couple of Comments ^ 

 on Ease of InstaUation ^ 



£. H. Sunbury, of Wamesit, Massa- f^ 



chusetts, writes the following: ^^ 



"The Skinner System of Irri- ^^ 



gation is the simplest and easiest ImI 



to install, as well as the most ^a 



practical I have ever heard of." fJM

Wheaton. Illinois, writes: Rfl 



"The Skinner System can be mm 



put up byfany handylman." ^^

largely influenced by the phase of the 

 moon, or other periodical phenomena. 

 Careful tabulation of frost data and a 

 comparison with moon phases fails to 

 disclose any such relation. All persons 

 interested are therefore cautioned to 

 watch, not the moon, but the forecasts 

 issued by the Weather Bureau.
