The procedure in irrigating by the furrow method is about as follows: The irrigator walks along the line of standpipes and opens all the jets, one into each furrow. He then proceeds to the other end of the furrows and notes the flow of water through them. If the water does not reach the ends of all the furrows at nearly the same time, he notes on paper the numbers of the furrows in which the water has not reached the end, and then re- turns to the head end Fig. 13 and cuts down the flow in the furrows in which the water has re

This procedure is repeated until just enough water is admitted to each furrow so that it will run through, but none will be wasted at the end. Gopher and mole holes should then be looked for, and if any are found thev should be stopped up. Watch should also be kept for ac- cumulations of leaves, which may dam up . , the water and cause it 10 break over from one furrow to another, thus causing serious trouble. After the flow of water has been well regulated, not. Fig. 14.
