<br />Now, this ~s.just a control panel area, a five horse power pump. There <br />is a barrel. filter, final filter, another 100 mesh filter in the line. <br />To the right of that is the control center. There are a co~ple of' the <br />valves of the control center you can see again. That opens and closes <br />these valves sequentially all around the orchard. And,by and large, <br />it is a really. neat operation.' <br /> <br />By the way, this whole thing', he: says, is costing him $250 an acre. <br />Believe:"it'-or not! The guy dqes a pretty good, job of'buying and <br />operating. : . <br />6~f:SS ;'-~ '::s.v-c =2..3;r~ :-"s ~E.:~:--~~' <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I guess you have seen this before. These are the'little sprinklers <br />at'my~place. I wanted to show you how things go. ~- <br /> <br />The most important thing of all in this, though, is that it doesn't <br />matter how great a system you put in, when you are finished with that <br />system you have to put in some, kind ofa measuring device. 'These are <br />tensiometers and Mr. Joachin up: there said he is going to put'in a <br />number of tensiometers there, and he is going to watch them very <br />carefully and keep them within 20 percent of saturation all the time; <br />So these little trees will grow like nothing before. And we will see <br />within three years he will:start getting production from-these little <br />trees. <br /> <br />That is my'presentation., I thought:you would be interesteq'in a very <br />neat and unique and new type of setup, not particularly for this <br />valley, but.in the' area. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER:. 'Thank you',: T. J.: We will be seeing a lot of those <br />things this afternoon. <br /> <br />MR. LONGLEY: No;, sir; we won't 'be seeing that; <br />North Fork. This,is something new that has c~me <br />and I thought I would bring the board up to date <br /> <br />That is up ~n the <br />in.in the last year, <br />'on it. <br /> <br />The tour this afternoon will leave here at 1:30 by bus, and we will <br />go down to, the Experimental Station and view the ARS'operation, and I <br />then we will go to the:Highline Canal along 12th Road,-the H~ghline <br />Canal, and look at some of "the seep areas under the H~ghline. And <br />then we will come along below that, and we'will see ASCS wo:rl5,AR$; <br />SCS work, the~on-farm areas.: There are probably,two areas there. And <br />then we will look at the control on the:whole area, some of the <br />monitoring, and then we will come back. <br /> <br />MR. MacFARLANE: I have a question, T. J.
