WINDMILL IRRIGATION.
Tho individual Irrigation Pump Plant -
| Operated by Some Kansas Farmers.

The individual Irrigation Pump Plant -
Operated by Some Kansas Farmers.
When windmills were first suggested
for irrigation purposes, men laughed
at the idea and looked upon it as vi
sionary scheme. Now, does the individ-
ual irrigation pumping plant payi In
the last four years number Of small
pumping plants have been installed in
the vicinity of Garden City, Kan, and
farther up and down the Arkansas val
ley. Each plant consists of a pump
operated by wind power, and in most
cases small reservoir made by scrap
ing out the soil to depth of few inches
and making banks of it two feet or more
in height. SO as to form a basin three or
four feet deep.
The pioneer in this line of irrigation
in the vicinity of Garden City has five
inch Cause pump, supplemented by an
ordinary 4 inch cylinder, the whole
run by a 10 foot windmill, giving q
pumping capacity of IS gallons min
ute. His mill and pump cost $132; his
reservoir, SIG; total, $148. He has used
his plant four years, irrigating four acres
each season for the first three and nine
acres last season. He could irr;gate 20
acres if he had the land and has made
from 500 to SITS an acre each season
off his land, growing garden stuff and
small fruits, and has fine lot of fish in
his reservoir, which will add consider
able to his profit eventually. The fore
going is only one Of many similar plants
by which water is lifted 10 to Is feet
and scattered about the valley. Sum-
marizing results as far as obtained, the
Colorado Field and Farm says:
1t appears that the average gross re-
turn Of fruits and vegetables has been
500 all acre annually, and the average
quantity of land that may be handled
by the ordinary family under this sys-
tenn may be estimated at 10 acres. A
good crop of fruit at average prices
will, of course, yield much more than
the amount named, and SO will small
fruits and vegetables under favorable
circumstances. While some men will
farm 20 acres by the means described
there are others who will spend their
time profitably upon five acres. AS to
cost of securing water supply by this
means, where water has to be lifted up
but 10 to 20 feet, pumping plants may
be provided which will furnish steady
and reliable supply at cost of not ex-
ceeding $15 an acre for small tracts and
less comparative cost for larger ones.
What will be the cost and result of at
tempting to pump water for irrigation
upon land where the water has to be
lifted from greater depths remains to be
demonstrated so far as this locality is
concerned.
