Freeman plan halts waste cuts labor in irrigation
An Albuquerque area report details the Carlsbad irrigation experiment by C. Freeman who replaces old ditches with larger checks and gate systems. The method halves labor bills, doubles land coverage per acre, and irrigates four acres as fast as one, with careful water application to avoid leaching soil. Freeman claims a forty acre tract can be watered in a day, using a single man with improved gates and bigger ditches.
