<br />So, how do we attain higher
<br />cffici(,llcics? By reJucing the
<br />frcqu('ncy and number of appli-
<br />('auons and by following more

<br />"In the C:tSC of the sugar OcelS
<br />in Grand Junnion," poilH out
<br />Langley and RollI..., "a more effi-
<br />cient operation would caU for
<br />seven applications, rather rh:lll
<br />the 11 applications, with a total
<br />deep percol3tion of about four
<br />inches r;nhcr thJn 9.54 inches
<br />and an efficiency of 65 percent
<br />instead of 40 pcrc('llt.
