Irritation on q Large Scale.
From The lrrigatOr.


Land, Florida.
We have under irrigation now
nearly three hundred acres of or
ange grove. There are about
twenty miles of pipe, including
main from pumping station, grove
mains, and laterals. Our groves
are scattered over a large area.
This has added materially to the
amount of pipe used and to the to-
tai expense of our plant. This
fact should be constantly borne
in mind in considering the extent
of our investment.
The country Immediately about
DeLand is high and rolling, and is
not broken by numerous lakes as
in some sections of the State. In
this vicinity there are no flowing
wells, and artesian water will not
rise higher than about fifty feet
below the surface. Tests thus far
made of deep bored wells have not
been satisfactory. The supply
from them has been shown gener-
ally to be inadequate for large
plants, and the cost and trouble OF
pumping from such a depth has
seemed to render such a source i'm
practicable.
For these reasons we selected
and purchased a lake Of about four
acres area, located one mile north
of our office lot, where our barns,
warehouses and central packing
houses are. This is the only deep
lake near here which seems to af-
ford an ample supply Of pure wa
ter. The lake varies from ten to
twenty feet in depth, and is fed by
numerous sulphur springs. From
one of these springs, opening from
a hillside some feet above the lake,
sufficient water flows to fill three
inch pipe. Some of the other
springs appear to be equally good,
and their volume is little affected
by dry seasons.
We own all approaches to this
lake. 1t stands completely shut
in by hills on every side. The wa
ter is perfectly clear and has a
slight sulphury taste and smell.
On the banks of the lake we have
erected brick pumping station of
two rooms. The boiler room is
25x38xI5 feet, The pump room
is. 25x25x14 feet. Space in these
rooms is ample for an additional
boiler and pump, which will be put
in as soon as they are needed.
The pump is Worthington 16X
1oHx1o. Capacity of pump is
$50 gallons per minute, but it can
be run to pump more. The sue
ton is eight and the discharge to
pump seven inches. The suction
is a ten inch pipe.
The boiler is of Jacob Naylor
make, and is sixty inches by eigh-
teen feet, having thirty-siX four
and one-half inch tubes, eighteen
feet long. 1t is of eighty horse
power. The smoke stack is made
of one fourth inch boiler iron, and
is 3x67 feet. This gives ample
draught. The pumping machinery
works perfectly and is satisfactory

While this greater capacity was a
consideration in determining the
erection of a standpipe, it was only
one among many. We use the
water to mix with insecticides in
all irrigated groves, and also use
it for fire protection around build
ings and for household and barn pur
poses. Consequently it is now nee
essary to have steam up nearly ev-
cry day in the year, and this costs
money. With the standpipe it
will only be necessary to pump
once a week or once in ten days,
except when we are irrigating in
the spring. We intend ultimately
to sell enough water to pay at least
the running expenses of our plant.
The entire cost of the above de-
scribed plant when completed will
be about $50, 900.
Only little more than half of
Mr.. Stetson's groves are irrigated.
The plant will from time to time
be extended so as to cover all
groves that can proftably be
reached under this system. Some
of the groves are SO located that
they must be irrigated under sep
arate plants or be left to the tender
mercies of mother nature. Aside
from above described plant we
have two small ones which have
been in use several years, one irri-
eating eight acres, and the other
about five. To supply these the
water is taken from deep bored
wells, and one of them is used to
supply pure artesian water for
John B. Stetson University.
Our new plant was put in by NJ.
F. Burton, formerly of Boston,
Mass, whom we employ by the
year. His time is fully occupied
with us and at the University which
bears Mr.. Stetson's name. We
fatter ourselves that there is no
plant in the State which works
more satisfactorily or is better put
together, and this is enough to say
concerning Mr.. Burton and his
ability.
While in the line of praising our
selves and our possessions we call
attention to the fact that ours is the
largest plant in the State, though
| am told this honor has been
claimed by others of your CORE
spondents. Our standpipe is among
the largest in the South, and few
cities anywhere possess larger or
better ones.
Regarding the necessity and re-
suits Of irrigation little need be
said by me- Others in the State
have had a larger experience and
are better able to discuss it. I'm
less rains are more copious than
they have been during the past
eight years, irrigation is essential
to best results in our thickly SET
bearing groves. Even in wet sea
sons it is dry during the spring
months, when trees most neeC

new growth, to hold full crops o.
fruit when the trees are blooming
and the oranges setting, to resls

visable to use wrought iron.
The main supply pipe from the
pumping station is of eight inch,
the grove mains four inch, and the
latcrals three inch material. The
hydrants are about nine hundred
in Der, two in ch es in
size, and are placed, as nearly as
possible, one hundred and twenty
five feet apart The hydrant far
thest from the pump is about
900 feet distant.
A question much debated was
the method of application of the
water. Itlay between what is gen.
orally know here as the sprinkler
system, in which the water is re-
duced to a spray by means of a noz-
zle fixed to a short pipe standing
in the square between four trees,
and the more common hose system
through fifty feet of two inch hose,
bv which fifteen or more trees can
be watered thoroughly from one
hydrant.
The latter plan was adopted be-
cause the former was found to near
ly double the cost of piping, be-
cause of the greater volume of wa
ter that can be applied in a given
time, because of the liability of the
sprinkler system to get out Of or
der and to burst pipes on too great
pressure, and for various other rea-
sons which need not here be dis
cussed. AS the open trench sys-
tenn seems out of the question in
our porous soil, we believe the
hose system is the only feasible
plan in a plant like ours. Our ex-
perience is that every considera-
ton must give way to the matter
of the greatest possible volume of
water. What we want is ample
water, we care not how it is applied.
If we need a spray for washing the
leaves and trunks of trees we can
have it in the hose system by using
spray nozzles on the hose, or by
throwing streams of water high
into the air.
The spray system is undoubtedly
the best for gardens, lawns and
the like, where plants and shrubs
would be injured or the ground
disturbed by the force of large
streams. We are putting in the
spray system for garden and lawn
uses on Mr.. Stctson's home
grounds.
Thus far we have used only pres
sure direct from the pump, as our
standpipe is not completed. From
this source we find we can, with
sixty-fve pounds steam pressure
and II2 pounds water pressure,
apply nine good streams at time
through fifty foot lengths of hose
and three-fourths inch nozzles.
Contract for our standpipe has
just been let to the Williamson
Iron Company, of Birmingham,
Alabama, and it is to be completed
by November 1st. 1t is to be cree
ted on the office lot, which is about
the center Of our groves. Its di-
mansions are 2oxI22 feet, and is
to be of the best tank steel of suit

THE COMING TOWN MEETING.

To Act Upon the High School Site
 Matter-Speeial Session Held of the
 Board of Education A The Hoard
 Hopes to Have a Normal School in
 Operation Here Next September.
 A special meeting of the board of eduea- tion was held yesterday afternoon at which an amendment was added to the call for town meeting, to be issued this afternoon. The amendment provides for the taking of action in reference to the bill regarding locating state normal school one each in New Haven and Bridgeport, which has just been reported to the legislature by the committee on education.
 Should this bill pass, 1t is the desire of the board to have state normal school in full operation here next September in rooms provided for the purpose.
 The bill provides that normal school may be opened fer students in September or any time thereafter when the New Ha- ven school district shall furnish, free of charge, building or room satisfactory to the state board of education.
 President Graves, ex-Senator J. D. Plunkett were appointed committee to prepare votes on the suOJecG Go DC pre- sented at the meeting of the voters of the school district to be held next Wednesday night. The board considers the prepared establishment of normal training school here as 8 matter of great importance tc the educational interest of the city. A lively district meeting Is expected. It is thought that If the friends of the friends of the Broadway property are sue cessful in the district meeting the project of building a new high school will bs pushed; but if those who favor Whitney | avenue as site win 1t will mean that tn, | Mutual Training school will be given pre- cedence over the high school.
 | The fact that the district meeting vii be called for the evening is regarded a presaging victory for those who favor thu Broadway property, as the ordinary tax | payer will be able to attend and vii easily outvote the few who are opposed t' 1 the erection of new high shool building
 After the sites for the high and manua
 training schools have been selected ant I authority for condemning the necesssr,
 land Is given to the board, 8 resolution,
 is said, may be introduced asking tn
 town to donate the old town farm ol
 Edgewood avenue as site for the ne1 l normal school.
