Abundant Water Means Bumper Crops. New Irrigation Methods Let North Dakota Vegetables Drink Their Fill The sprinkler system (left) pumps water into long series of portable aluminum tubes fitted at 40-foot intervals with spray nozzles. These throw water on the land at the rate of an inch an hour. By another method, siphoned water flows through plastic tubes. Both practices are demonstrated atthe North Dakota Agricultural College Experiment Station, Williston. Here daylong watering in full sunlight does not wilt vegetation. © National Geographic Society 321 Kodachromes byJ.Baylor Roberts
