fore, the farmer must very
carefully determine whether
this expense would be a prac
tical solution in his own situ
ation.
A farmer who is not farm
ing efficiently without irriga
tion will not find irrigation
the solution to his problems,
according to Edward H.
Ralph, associate agricultural
agent in Sussex county. He
said a farmer should not con
sider irrigation unless he al
ready has an efficient weed
and disease control program,
an accurate record keeping
system and is following rec
ommendations indicated in soil
test results. M he is not do
ing these things, Ralph said,
irrigation will not make him
any more efficient. The exten
sionist also pointed out that
when irrigation equipment is
used, irrigating should start
early in the season, and it
should be used particularly
during the critical growing
periods of various crops.
