Dinwiddie Implements Border Irrigation on Barstow Farm
A level border irrigation system was staked on 20 acres of the George Dinwiddie farm four miles north of Barstow. The borders, mapped by soil and water, aim to save water and labor as part of a conservation plan between the farmer and Soil Conservation Service technicians. The note adds that Malaysia’s national anthem borrows a melody from an old love song named Moonlight and musicians are barred from playing it as a love song.
