The practical cost of electric power equipment would be the same 'A^hether the sprinkler pressure .vas 40 or 55 pounds. In frost control a grower with 1 sprinkler system is using the .'tored heat of water to counteract he cold heat of the atmosphere. The heat in the water is best released by breaking the water |nto fine particles. Pressure ap- plied by power to water in the Sprinkling system will create fine particles for fast heat release. Some interesting observations have been noted by growers' with medium pressure systems. In frost control they are actually raising bog temperatures which create ice. Are these phenomena freaks of nature, or are we hav- ing presented to uis a better method of frost control ? We believe there is much advantage to be gained in frost control by increasing the pressure at the sprinkler. NEW SPRINKLER HEAD A new -agricultural sprinkler designed for wider spacings and lower precipitation rates has been developed and is being marketed by Buckner Industries, Fresno, California. Designated Model No. 870, the heavy duty, long-range sprinkler is the result of intensive research in nozzles, and a new exclusive stream straightening Need in the agricultural field for wider spacings and low pre- cipitation rates motivated the design of the sprinkler, Buckner engineers say. Precipitation rates from the sprinkler range from as' little as .24 inches per hour to .4 inches.
