Rain When You Want It 
Authorities tell us that the rainfall averages about the 
same, year in and year out. That may be so, but they also 
tell us that there is rarely a growing season with rain 
distributed properly to give the best yields. Your garden 
will not care anything about the arcragc rainfall if a long 
period of drought first dries it up. 
With a Skinner System of Irrigation, you can have rain 
when you want it, and as little or as much as you like. 
You can have as small a unit as an 18 ft. line, throwmg 
the spray 25 ft. in each direction, or a system that will 
cover acres. It does not cost much, and it insures the 
success of your garden. 
Write 1IS for informefion, giving the length 
and breadth of the plot yon, wish to cover.
