DOES IRRIGATION SPOIL SOME LAND?
EXPERIMENTS WILL DECIDE QUESTION. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received June 20, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, June 19. An experiment of interest to Dominions’ orchardists and agriculturists was witnessed by a party of experts visiting the Rothamsted experimental ration. The experiments, which w% witnessed by the New Zealander, H. M. Richardson, arose out of the belief that irrigated land sometimes lost its value after irrigation, due to the effect of constant water on the soil which was accustomed to a small amount of rain only. It is hoped that the investigators will be able to inform prospective irrigators whether their land is likely to respond to irrigation, saving much needless expense. __________________
