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.
