EVER HEARD OF THE TROWEL TEST? 
SOILS DIFFER in porousness and absorptive 
qualities, depending on their structure and how 
they have been tilled. Check your lawn and 
other planted areas and find out how long it 
takes for whatever irrigating device you are 
using, to give them a proper depth of moisture. 
Here’s a simple test. Set a sprinkler on an 
area. Set an empty jar or bucket within the 
radius of the sprinkle and turn on the sprinkler. 
Jab a trowel into the ground within the sprink- 
ling radius at times and find out how far down

ANIMAL PESTS are mainly moles, gophers, 
field mice and the like. The mole is the main 
offender, because after he has established his 
run, field mice and other small creatures use 
the run as a means of access to your rock gar- 
den, bulb plantings, etc., where they do winter 
damage. Control is done in the mole runs or 
gopher runs with traps, gas or poisoned bait. 
the water has penetrated. Keep time on how 
long the sprinkler is operated until the proper 
depth of moisture is obtained. Check in the jar 
or bucket you set inside the sprinkling radius 
and you will have how many inches are needed 
to do the job. Then you have the data on that 
particular lawn area or bed area and can time 
subsequent sprinkling to suit the conditions. 
Wherever you are irrigating, the trowel test 
for depth of penetration is important, whether 
you care to bother about how many inches it 
takes or not.
