MAKING USE OF WATER.—On the irrigation pilot farm at Ikiwai, in South Canterbury, cheap methods of using water before border dykes are constructed are being investigated. Visitors at a field day at the farm this week saw pond structures formed by banks being used to facilitate watering of the country. The aim is to link a series of these in an automatic system. In the picture the bank of one of the pond structures can be seen. Water has just been released from the pond on the left.
