Irrigation Increases
Crop Production Each
Year, Wooding Says
Irrigation for increased crop
production should be employed,
as a management practice every
year -hdt just “to present crop
losses during dry years, declar
ed an Extension Service agri
cultural engineer at The Penn
sylvania State University
Speaking to lime and fertilizer
dealers from the Northeast
States on the mam Penn State
campus recently, N Henry
Wo'oding said irrigation is an
important management tool that
farmers can use to increase
their crop yields and potential
income even during periods
when normal rainfall occurs
“However,” he said, “if a
source of water isn’t available
or cannot be de\ eloped, then
farmers should divert their fi
nancial lesources into other
management channels instead of
nligation ”
Commenting on i n f ormation
based on the Irrigation Suivey
\\ h i c h was conducted by the
Pennsylvania Ciop Repotting
Seiuce m 1967 the agncultuial
engineer said the numbei of
acres under irrigation neaily
doubled during the drought pe
riod from 1964 to 1966 During
1966, almost 40 000 acres ol farm
crops were irrigated
The Extension official said
thiee fruits, potatoes, corn veg
etables and forage crops lepre
sented the greatest number of
irrigated acies He pointed out
that the source of water for ir
rigating these crops came main
ly from stieams meis, and
ponds, with smallei amounts
from wells and public water
systems
Above average lainfall in 1967
undoubtedly lowered the crop
acieage that was irrigated A
similar survey may be conduct
ed this spring so that present in
foimation can be updated and
put to practical use, the Penn
State official emphasized
“It will lake a few more years
of above normal piecipitation
to replace the moisture that has
been removed from the subsoil
and ground water reservoirs
during the 1960-66 drought even
though the earth seems to be
wet,” the engineer concluded
