Redwood Furrow Tu bes Recommended by Irrigation Authorities

Reproduced below are illustrations of the new standard patterns of Redwood Furrow Tubes, (for ditch to furrow irriga.tion), taken from the new Agriculiural Series Cir,cular No. I of the California Redwood Association.

Imbodied i4 the designs are all of the important features as determined on by interested retail dealers and Redwood mills. The four standard patterns included are recommended by University of California, Division of Irrigation Investigation and Practice, as sufficient to meet all "ordinary requirements.

The market for these tubes is very largely undeveloped. Where dealers have featured them, ttre aeirana for them'has greatly_increased, and some very satisfactory business has resulted. As an example of whit is possible, one dealer in the Imperial Valley sold 300,000 tubes in 1929. This is equivalent to about 200,000 feet of Redwood, or 10 carloads, rvhich is a lot of business for a single specialty item.

Dealers advocating the use of Redwo6d F-urrow-Tubes can depend on the support of Farm Advisors, Agri,cultural E,ngineers, Extension Service workers, and otherslnteiested in the economical distribution of water.

These four tubes were recently submitted to a number of tests in the outdoor hydraulic Laboratory at University f"J-, Davis, Calif. To-determine capacitiJs under """r"!"" field conditions each tube was tested in lengths of Z fe?i and 4 feet under heads of 2 inches and 6 inchis.

The following table gives the approximate capacities as determrned by these tests, making this valuable information availabie to farmers for the first tfme:

Built-In Fixture Manufacturer Expresses Optimism

"Business with us is better, thank you," said Ray B' Cox, general manager qf the Built-In-Fixture Co', of Berkeley, iecently to a representative of this paper.

"This is mainly due to the fact that old home improvement and home modernizing are creating an important market for built-in furniture. Architects, dealers and conttactors are paying more attention to this market, and manu{acturers of ttris iquipment are in a splendid position to serv€ such a demand because of consumer acceptance ot a standardized, product.

"standardization has made it possible for the manufacturer to apply modern selling an-d distribution methods in marketing built-in equiPment.

"Our sales last year were equal to those of the previous year, in spite of a falling ofi experienced in the latter part of ttte yea.. Business for the first four months of this.year has be-en satisfactory, and the outlook for future business is excellent."
