Don't You Overlook 



These Vital Things About 



Water's Part in Your Crop's Success 



If giving your plants a drink 

 was all you did in watering, the 

 dry weather wouldn't matter so 

 much. But water to a plant is 

 just like water to a boiler; it's 

 just water until it's converted in- 

 to steam. As water, it's just 

 water. As steam, it's power 

 ready to work for you. 



Water is just as surely a plant's 

 horse power, after it has dis- 

 solved the fertilizers in the soil 

 so the roots can absorb them. 

 Unless they are so dissolved 

 not a single mouthful can the 

 plant get. 



Water it is that makes it pos- 

 sible tor the plant foods to be 

 carried freely to every part of 

 the plant. 



Water it is that brings the 

 nitrogen of the air down into the 

 soil. 



Water it is that loosens the 

 soil up when delivered gently, 

 the Skinner System way, .so that 



the air can get down into the soil 

 and freely unlock the nutritive 

 elements. 



Water it is that, evaporating 

 through the leaves, carries off 

 the plant's waste or poison. 

 Water it is that keeps the pores 

 open so the plant can breathe. 

 Water, and only water, is it 

 of which practically 85% of all 

 plants actually are made. 

 Skimp that water and you see 

 how vital the injury is. Give it 

 all it needs, so it has no struggle 

 to go in search for it; and all 

 its strength goes into growth 

 and blooms. 



That's why the Skinner System 

 of Irrigation doubles and triples 

 a crop. 



It's why it more than pays for 

 itself the first season. 



Give us the length and width of 

 the piece of ground you want to 

 irrigate, and we will send you 

 some interesting facts.
