In California, says our informant, the system of irrigation is carried out on altogether different lines than those here in vogue. Water is not nearly so abundant and the ditches are very much smaller and, in most sections, especially for orchard irrigation, pipes and conduits of various kinds are used for distributing the water, which in some places sells as high as 60 cents per hour per inch.
