PLOT 1? IRRIGATED:

PLOT 3, IRRIGATED. 

PLoT 4, NON-IRRIGATED. 

The yield on the two irrigated plots was at the rate of 5,318 
quarts per acre; and on the two non-irrigated, at the rate of 
2,083 quarts. 
Water was used on the irrigated plots on June 10, 15, 18, 
and 20. ‘The water was applied by means of 2-inch hose from 
a 2%-inch iron pipe laid on the surface of the ground. ‘The 
size of the stream and the force of the water was sufficient to 
give thirty gallons (about one barrel) per minute. At this 
rate of flow one man could sprinkle about one acre per day. 
The ground was given a thorough wetting each time.
