The Agriculture Division of the Chamber of Commerce hosted a conference on trickle irrigation at the Holiday Inn with county agent Paul Tapp and the Texas A&M Experiment Station. A Dupont representative demonstrated a disposable pipe placed two inches underground to irrigate crops, potentially doubling planting density and reducing water costs by about sevenfold through moisture permeation and weed-control benefits.
