Attention Farmers!
Electric Power For Pumping.

Without water your fertile valley lands are dormant,
fail to respond to most Industrious cultivation and con-
tinues to tenaciously hold the hidden wealth locked with
in the soil. With water the same fertile lands are no
longer dormant and no longer fail to respond, to indus
trious cultivation, but will bring forth wealth in a most
generous manner. Golden fields of grain, green fields of
alfalfa and acres of orchard will appear where now the
lands are barren. This is the law of nature. To elevate
the water from It's present level to the level OF your lands
at the lowest cost 40 the lands may be irrigated is the
problem confronting you. The solution of the problem
is the use OF electric power for pumping.
Electric power is the cheapest power for pumping and
all power purposes for the farmer aud all power users
1t is not only the cheapest, but Is the safest and the most
reliable and convenient power that can be used. In addi-
ton, it is the only power that can be applied directly at
the point where the power is wanted, viz: At the pump
shaft, with direct connection TO the shaft, saving the
large loss of power due to friction in betting, pulleys and
shafts. We are ready to demonstrate the truthfullness of
these statements to all corners.
We are prepared to furnish power for the irrigation
of 10000 acres of land the coming season and will in
crease our plant capacity as the business demands.
Lines will be extended for a distance OF % miles from our
power plant where the business warrants the expense of
construction. We are not justified in mourning the cost
of line construction and other necessary expense unless at
least 5000 acres will use electric power the coming
season.
We will not ask the farmer to subscribe for any of
our stock, or to contribute or donate to US, or to he at
any other expense than the cost of the line from the main
transmission line along the public highway over his prem
Uses to his pumping station, the necessary pump and
motor equipment for his well and a concrete weir for
measuring the water. The contract must. however, be
for a sufficient period of years to justify our outlay and
in such form as to follow the land regardless of change of
ownership.
Those interested are requested to call at our office or
write, furnishing the following information:
o. Name and Post Office address.
CO. Number of acres owned.
(3) Number OF acres to be irrigated.
a. Location aud description of land.
CO.. Size of well and actual or estimated flow and
length of well casing. If well is to be drilled SO
state and when it will be completed.
(6) Distance water is to be elevated.
ca Distance from our power plant to land along
public highways.
49, Names and addresses of others who require and
now want power for pumping.
Remember it takes time to construct lines and make
installations and it is only a few months until you will
need the water. If you are interested you should act at
once.
