Often Caused by Poor Leveling
of Land
More crop failures on the irrigat

are expensive to irrigate, both
with regard to the amount of
water and the amount of labor
required; and in addition, the
plants in the different parts of
the field are so unequally water
ed tnat unsatisfactory crops are
the result. The machinery ne

farm is simple and inexpensive.
and should be kept, in order that
all spare time of men and teams
can be used to the best advan
tage. On the small farm all that is
necessary is a small Fresno scra
