William Dee Little, field representa-
tive of Farm A Ranch, spent several
iajrs In this community a few weeks
ago. One result of his trip was an Il-
lustrated wrlteup of the Irrigation de-
velopment In this section, pohliahed in
Farm JPBancb October 30, as follows:
Irrigation In Deaf Smith county,
Texas, is receiving more snd more
attention, more particularly around
the town of _ Hereford The water la
obtained frotn wells around 120 feet
deep. Water Is found, however, at an
average depth of fifty-five feet, and
the pumps are set st ninety feet, with
the suction pipe twenty feet uelow
that It is never necessary to prime a
pump.
Irrigation was started Just ten years
ago. ' D. L. McDonald started the
movement, and bis first plans have
been followed by the others. With
only one exception, so far as the
writer was able to determine, the wells
and-machinery were all alike.
Standard pumps are driven by oil
engines with forty to seventy horse-
power. A house encloses all the ma-
chinery, and the engines cannot be
used for any other pprpose than pump-
ing water. Experience has taught the
farmers that the machinery cannot be
«w<l successfully for any other pur-
pose. One man operates the engine
and distributes the wate& Jfo en-
gineers have ever been employed In
the Hereford district, as each farmer
operates his own plant.
Haa Irrigated Many Years
Mr. McDonald has a half section
under Irrigation from two wells. One
of tbe plants has been running nine,
years, antl be says the upkeep has
not been more than $400. It la still
running seemingly as well as it did at
•rst.
It costs from *8TiO to $1200 to Install
a system, including the well, and tbe
life ought to lie not less than twenty
years. The flow of water haa never
ahown any weakness, according to the
Hereford people, and it is thought
there Is sufficient supply for Irrigat-
ing tbe entire country. The capacity
of tbe wells is from 1000 to 1900 gal-
lons a minute. It is claimed that an
Irrigation can be applied for $1.00 an
