Not sure exactly how much water any crop needs for 'normal' irrigation due to so much being lost through evaporation. However I do know that there has been alot of research done on point/drop irrigation with the end result being a crop who's yield matched or bettered the yield of another crop irrigated with many times more water. Granted that type irrigation might not be feasible for all crops but when it is why not use it? On the other hand why don't we all set around doing nothing until the worlds population keeps getting larger and larger. It's already to the point we are trying to genetically engineer crops to work with less water, to put out higher yields, etc, etc. Why not put some of that same effort to making nature work for us a bit more naturally, or using what nature already provides in a more sensible manner. Instead we're too busy trying to genetically change what is natural and as a result have invent some new strain of 'super crops, poision resistant insects who now eat those crops, etc, etc. In the end all we wind up with are crops//products who's long term effects to us and our health and well being aren't guaranteed, or even scarier even known in many cases.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
