Book Description
Excerpt from Farm Irrigation, And, Orchard Irrigation Though this method is not held to be infallible, it is thought to be accurate enough for comparative results. The attempt was made to keep the water at the proper head by an overflow The greatest trouble was encountered from the grass, weeds and sticks that are carried along in a running stream. These Would reduce the flow considerably by being sucked across the orifice, while there was little to cause the flow to increase from any cause whatever. So it is thought that the amounts of water given are somewhat larger than were actually applied. Taking an average for dive years, however, the comparative results are thought to point strongly to the facts.

Irrigation of Orchards by Contour Furrows (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation of Orchards by Contour Furrows During the past few years there has been a considerable increase in the development of hillside orchard planting. This development has come about through the recognition of the favorable situation of the foothills from the standpoint of frost hazard. Furthermore, many of the newer irrigation projects are located in the foothill areas. Where orchard management operations can not be carried on in the same manner as in the flat valley areas. Contour planting, or the establishment of tree rows along grade contours of little slope, is one of the means used to irrigate hillside orchards more effectively. This system of orchard layout is adaptable to rolling topography where the cost of leveling would be excessive, and is particularly adapted to shallow soils where any considerable movement of the surface soil in leveling operations would expose bed rock or subsoil poorly adapted to tree growth.

Irrigation by Sprinkling (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation by Sprinkling Sprinkling as a method of irrigation has been practiced in California and elsewhere for about forty years. Before 1920 it was limited primarily to truck cr0ps, nurseries, and small fruits, and was practiced mainly as supplemental irrigation in the more humid regions. Stationary overhead sprinkler systems were first used in citrus orchards in some sections of California about 1920. Most of such systems were installed, however, between 1924 and 1928 in areas where surface irrigation was not entirely satisfactory because of unusually pervious soil or because of topographic features. Along the foothills east of Pasadena, the soil is gravelly in many places and the slopes are rather steep for furrow irrigation, except where orchards are laid out on contour grades; overhead sprinkling of orchards had its inception in these areas.

Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation by Overhead Sprinkling Although the irrigation of truck crops by overhead sprinkling has long been a common practice in some parts of the United States, with some citrus fruits irrigated this way in Florida, the application of water by overhead sprinkling has but recently become a factor in California orchard irrigation practice. Though scattered installations which have been in operation for some years are to be found in various parts of the State, the majority now in operation have been established since 1924.
