Bulletin No. 27 - Irrigation; Early, Late And Usual, J. W. Sanborn Mar 1894

Bulletin No. 27 - Irrigation; Early, Late And Usual, J. W. Sanborn

UAES Bulletins

Bulletin No. 23 reported the results of the first three years' trials in early and late irrigation. The trial reported in this Bulletin is a continuation of the trials reported in the Bulletin. above mentioned. The purpose of the experiment is to ascertain whether water added to the soil very early is so far stored that it will be available later in the season, and whether late irrigation has an injurious effect on the crop through its influence on development of stem and leaf at the expense of the seed; or, again, whether it is necessary to irrigate crops later …

Bulletin No. 26 - Sub-Irrigation Vs. Surface Irrigation And Water For Irrigation, J. W. Sanborn, Samuel Fortier

UAES Bulletins

It has long been held that irrigation water applied beneath the surface is better than surface irrigation, in relation to the amount used, the temperature of the soil, the amount of evaporation, washing of soil and yield of crop, including quality of crop received. Though philosophically there would seem to be little doubt that the propositions are well taken, sub-irrigation as an economical process has been over-pres ed by some as a mean of very greatly curtailing the amount of water used . There are those who have asserted that only one-tenth of the water applied by sub-irrigation would be …

Bulletin No. 25 - Fuits And Forest, Shade Adn Ornamental Trees, E. S. Richman

UAES Bulletins

After three years' trial on the experimental grounds we are ready to acknowledge the conditions unfavorable to the growth of strawberries; the high and dry location of the land, coupled with its sterility, make it unsuitable to the growth of strawberries. The first plants were necessarily, on account of lack of time, planted before the soil was fertilized. Manure was applied freely the second and third seasons, as a top dressing, but the ground, being compacted by frequent irrigation, never has been in the proper condition for strawberries, either as regards fertility or mechanical condition. A new bed has been …
