USES ELECTRICITY TO
IRRIGATE 100 ACRE TRACT

l.. $. Kelsey, a prominent rancher
residing four miles this side of North
Powder. has installed an electric mo-
tor which furnishes power for pump
ing water to irrigate 100 acres of land,
says the Baker City Herald. Mr..
Kelsey installed the motor and pump
this spring and Is wonderfully sur
prsed at the small expense of this
method of securing water. for a very
small amount Of power is required to
do the work.
A centrifugal pump was installed
and it gives a flow of 1000 gallons a
minute, lifting the water so feet
through i0-inch pipe. The water is
taken from a large irrigating ditch
and is lifted onto higher land where
fine crops can be grown. So sue
cessful has been the experiment that
Mr.. Kelsey has ordered sufficient
pumps to irrigate 1900 acres of land.
The power line of the Eastern Ore
gon Light & Power company, runs
through the valley and Mr.. Kelsey
and several other ranchers have had
electric lights put in their houses and
many have installed motors to run
the farm machinery. The ranchers
are coming to realize the great value
of electricity in tightening the labors
of the farm and making country life
enjoyable.
