IrricaATING VEGETABLES IN New York 1357 
The method consists of conducting water along the end of the 
plot to be irrigated and allowing it to flow into furrows between 
the rows of the crop. It is best to permit the water to reach the 
far end of the row as soon as possible and then allow it to be ab- 
sorbed evenly throughout the land. If this is not done the part 
of the field next the supply ditch will receive much more water 
than the remainder. This form of irrigation is useful on level 
land where there is abundance of water and where the soil is suit- 
able. Light soils drink up the moisture so rapidly that even dis- 
tribution is difficult.
