First Irrigation
Systems In Huron
Andrew Moore, of Egmond
viille, has installed one of .the
first farm irrigation systems in
Huron 'County. The only other
such system in the county was
also started last week in this
district by 'Hugh A. Ball, oe No.
8 Highway, (between Seah oi+bh
and 'Clinton.
Mr. Mo•ore's equipment was in
operation for the first time on
Saturday to water 6,000 newly -
planted strawberry plants 'and
2500 new raspberry plants.
Powered by tan '8 hap. 'gasolene
engine water is pumped at the
rate of 81 gallons a minute
through aluminum pipes, each
20 feet long. The main is three
inches in dtaaneter and laterals
are 'two inches.
Surprisingly light in 'weight,
the pipes can he quickly detach-
ed and reassembled in a new lo-
cation. (Sprinkler heads are 40
feet apart, 'and each time the
laterals are moved 40 feet to
properly rover a field.
Half .am inch of water is the
recommended 'application, Mr,
Moore said, which means that
water is sprinkled for an hour
and 40 'minutes en each move of
the pipes. A (watering •once a
week is sufficient.
Each pipe has an ingenious
self -draining rubber valve or
collar: When water is being
pumped, the pressure forces the
collar against the sides of the
pipe 'and makes a seal. As soon
as the pressure' goes off, the
water can drain out of bhe pipe,
making it easy to lift for mov-
ing,
Water for Mr. (Moore's system
is pumped from the Bayfield
river which flows along the
north side 'of his field, A four
fort hole was 'dug 'at the river's
edge for the intake pipe.
Besides providing irrigation
the system is 'claimed to provide
a certain degree of protection
from frost, as it oan be set to
make a fog cover over the plants
if needed. One of the 'drawbacks
of strawberry growing in this
part of the country, Mr. ;Moore
said, has been the destruction of
the crop by frost during Dower-
ing in May, and it will be a
great 'advantage if this can be
'avoided.
While Mr. Moore has grown
raspberries far a number of
years, this will be his first ven-
ture on a large scale in straw-
berries. He has three-quarters
acre in strawberries and slightly
over an acre in raspberries. The
strawberries will be in .produc-
tion next year but the young
raspberries will not (bear for two
years yet, •An. increase in pro-
duction as high as 'four tinnes a
normal crop is claimed for irri-
gation, which, if realized, would
soon take 'care of the initial
cost of just over $1,000 for the
equipment.
While not 'carrying on his
poultry 'business en ars large a
scale -as formerly, Mr. Moore
Still raises several thousand
broilers in his poultry buildings.
Hugh Ball pumps water from
a spring led pond to water two
acres of sweet cora, and will
also use it for several acres of
turnips. He Mopes to harvest his
turnips two weeks earlier than
normally.
