Description
Full title:Many of the large farms along the Missouri River in the vicinity of St. Louis employ the comparatively new irrigation system illustrated here. The links of pipes are quickly coupled together and the water pressure swells a rubber gasket which seals the joints. The Hellwig Brothers, on whose farm this picture was made, declare the system to be more efficient and economical than the old ditch and spade method. The Hellwigs employ nearly 100 Japanese-American relocatees from the Rohwer Center. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Gumbo, Missouri.
