Overhead Irrigation Sy.tem. a
to Truck Farmer*.
We bear much of scientific farming
nowadays, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, yet most yf ns have only the
haziest idea of what It consists. Many
of us realize, however, that intensive
farming, because of Its extreme de-
pendence upon natural conditions. Is a
most uncertain business. Naturally,
therefore, the first call upon science has
been to supplement these deficiencies.
How many know that a simple, prac-
tical rain machine can be easily and
quickly Installed on the vegetable
farm. "Artificial rainfall” may sound
like a mere dream of a hardworking
grower whose crops are dried up; it
may seem that a rain machine coaid
only be within the reach of the wealthy
dabbler in agriculture. On the other
hand, perhaps the growers, all within
two hours’ ride of Philadelphia, can
“turn on a rain” by the simple opening
of a valve.
If you have ever visited or ridden
through the vegetable growing sections
of Philadelphia you must have noticed
rows of pipe supported on posts run-
ning through the field. This was the
rain machine.
Overhead Irrigation is the Invention
which has made dreams of artificial
rain come true. The system consists
of overhead pipes supported by posts
running through the field at Intervals
of fifty feet Small brass nozzles are
inserted In the distributing pipes at
distances of about three feet The wa
ter la distributed in the form of a fine
rain.
Within two hours’ ride of Phlladel
phla there are .vegetable farms which
produce as high as $1,500 an acre
Neither California uor Florida can
boast of any higher profits, yet the***
results are obtained on New Jersey
soil, worth but n few dollars an acre
without irrigation. Scientific fertflbta
tidu, perfect control -of rainfall, con
pled with thorough knowledge of grow-
ing, has achieved such results.
The day of "trust to the weather"
farming la'rapidly passing, and the old
fashioned grower' who gets a crop one
year and loses It the next Is destined
to be forced out of business. Each
year It is becoming more difficult fur
him to compete successfully with com.
petition which has eliminated all losses
by drought
Florida, with a rainfall above the
average, can scarcely mature a crop
successfully without Irrigation. New
Jersey, •’ typical humid state, shows
an annual rainfall from, forty to fifty-
four Inches, but with this it cannot reg-
ularly produce truck crops successful-
ly. In twenty successive growing sea-
sons there have been a total of 127
droughts of more than ten days each,
an average of six droughts each year.
In every growing season New Jersey

The Producers
THE SMALLEY’S
occupy a front niche in
the Hall of Famous
Directors. Originality
with them is a dominant
factor in all productions.
“HYPOCRITES” and
“WHERE ARE MY
CHILDREN?” reflect
theis master genius. No
producers ever attempt
the unusual without
leaving a “bad taste”
somewhere. Delicate sit-
uations; intricate
themes; perfect casts;
wonderful photography
are only a few of their
many requisites
brought into play in all
productions. In “THE
DUMB GIRL OF POR-
TICI” you see this com-
bination worked out
and you will surely be
pleased. 1
THE DUMB GIRL OF PORTICI possesses those elements tlut appeal to all the people. The spectacular and for- ^
