Frequent shallow water- ings are not as good as occasional thorough soakings of the soil, because in surface wetting most of the water is lost by evaporation, and the growth of a very shallow root system is encouraged. After the water has gone down and the surface begun to dry, the crust should be broken or cov- ered with a mulch before the water has time to come to the surface and be evaporated. When water is poured around individual plants or run down a trench, the wet places should be covered with dry soil as soon as the water has soaked Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Kyle, Edwin Jackson.
