Easy Way To Tell When Time tor
Farmers faced "With the pro-
blem of vfchen to irrigate crops
can eliminate guesswork by us-
,ing a simple field test, accoiu-
ing of Bob Krai, head of the lo-
cal office of the Soil Conserva-
tion Service. By checking the
soil for the amount of moisture
it contains where most of- the
plant roots are located, the irri-
gator can make an accurate ev-
aluation of moisture needs.
"This method is quick and
easy," JCral said. "It is a test any
farmer can and should use."
Krai pointed out that when a
cotton crop .suffers, for water, the

quality cart, never be regained,
no matter how much water te
applied later. On the other hand
too frequent irrigation is costly,
wastes water, and may actually
lower yields.
The best time to irrigate is
when the soil moisture level in
the root zone is about 50 percent.
A moisture level of 50 percent
means that the crop has used a-
bout half of the water the soil
could hold for crop use.
If irrigation water is put on
before the crop has used this

Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph McCur-

H. Watson in Lubbock Sunday.
Thursday guests in the C. F.
Flemins home were his mother,
Mrs. C. E. Flemins of Crosbyton,
and a nephew, Harold Flemins,
Jr., of Wichita Falls.
Sherry Watson was a Thurs-

Friday dinner guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Bobby Kendrick and
family-was an uncle, Adrian
Crawford of Lubbock.
Julie Ann Jones spent Friday
night with her grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Weldon McClure.
The pupils and workers of the
V. B. S. had a picnic Friday af-
ternoon 4n the backyard of the

hold enough water to make the
irrigation worthwhile. If 'mois-
ture level falls much below 50
percent, the growth and develop-
ment of crop will _be retarde.l
To check soil moisture, dig a
hole beside an average sized
plant. Any spade or shovel Will
do the job, although a special
soil probe Is faster, and easier.
Get a sample of soir about the
size of a golf ball from the area
where most of the plant roots
are, usually about one foot deep.
Squeeze the soil sample firmly
in the hand. Note its feel, color,

The Soil Conservation Service
has available a chart which will
be furnished farmers on re-
quest to judge from this sample
whether it is time to water or
not. The chart may be secured
at the Soil Conservation office,
With a little practice, any
farmer can become skilled e-
nough to use this method to
great advantage. Mr. Krai said.
Krai pointed out that there is
some degree of error in all field
methods of checking soil mois-
ture. Even elaborate' devices
such as electrical meters, vac-
uum tabesr&nd so on, are not
foolproof. The cost of these de-
vices is generally pretty high, in
addition. This leaves the "feel"
method of determining when to
irrigate the most practical to use
in this area.
The personnel of the Soil Con-
servation Service will" be glad to
assist farmers in the use of this
test.
