Planted rows for irrigation

Item

Title
Planted rows for irrigation
Photographer
Likely, Mark Jefferson
Description
Photograph depicting irrigation rows in a field. Seeds are planted in raised mounds of dirt to help elevate them for flooding irrigation. The deep grooves between the plant rows allow for water from a ditch to be pumped into the field where it floods down through the rows and waters the plants without killing them. A tree line can be seen at the back of the field and a wire fence can be seen in the foreground. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card. When possible we have indicated if it is a repeat image, however this is not always the case. As such, there may be a corresponding digitized glass lantern slide, and a mounted stereographic card associated with this stereographic negative within the Mark Jefferson Collection.
