Pumps. Wind and Water.

Whatever the objection urged, or the
want of faith in Il sufficient and and prac-
teal water supply for farm Irrigation, in
western Kansas, the fact has been abun-
dainty demonstrated within the past two
years by Arkansas valley farmers that for
the purposes of grapes, small fruits and
general garden products, water can be had
in abundance and ut Il minimum cost
The results of experiments on small areas
of from acre to 10 acre plots have put
the question of protitablene>s of employ
ing pumps for irrigation water beyond
dispute. The loamy calcireOus soil of
this valley is just the soil from which the
greatest retHrns have been realized by the
artificial application of water the world
over. The valley lands of the Nile of
America differs but little if any from
those of the older Nile, where irrigation
has been the principal dependence for
thousands of years, the American Nile
having the advantage of ;n annual rain
fal which lacks but little of being sufli-
cient for successful agriculture. The soils
Of southern California, of Old and New
Mexico and of Arizona and eastern Col
Or,do where irrigation has proved SO
profitable, are sandy. porus. calcareous
soils almost, if not exactly identical with
the soils of western Kansas. There is a
great valley in Old Mexico lying between
Sloa and GIladalajara which is irrigated
by wells. the water from which is raised
some twenty feet by old fashioned! we'll
sweeps, and by hand. The wealth of
that valley in annual production of small
fruits is alnoUS fabulous. From these
personal observations and from the reports
of successes in small way we are there
fore satisfied that whether the strOing of
storm and surface waters or the lifting of
under waters proves profitable in this val
ley or aOt, that for fruits and vegetables,
of every character adapted to this lati-
tudc, irrigation. by mechanical appli-
ances. is going to prove vastly profitable.

Big lrrigating Plant Given a Trial.

ABILENE, Dee. 5.-Thc first extensive
irrigation plant to be operated in Dick
inson county. had its initial trial on the
farm of r. NJ. Whitelaw. east of this city
MIR. Whitelaw has arranged to water
about 40 acres of bottom land near the
Smoky Hill river and has put up mod :
ern irrigation pump that lifts $4,000 gal
Ions of river water an hour in the bitches
and is run by 4 traction engine.
The pump is set ut the end of ditch
which opens into the river and the water
supply is ineXhaustible if the liver holds
out. The land is thoroughly ditched and
when some further improvements are
made will be in shape for Il thorough
soaking preparatory TO spring planting.
