ELECTRIC POWER FOR FARMS
Much Of Future Work Of Irrigation

tricity Most Suitable.

In many sections of the western
states a demand has recently sprung
up for power on the farms. which Is
attractive from a load standpoint that
1t promises to Justify for its satisfac-
ton very large expenditure on the
part of service companies. l refer to
the use of electric power for irriga-
ton purposes, writes Herman Russell
In Field and Farm. All over the west
water is being pumped electrically
from wells. rivers, lakes and bitches
for irrigation use. Large government
and private company undertakings are
now supplying water in this way for
thousands OF acres. Individual farm
ers, wherever electric power can be
obtained. are installing pumping out
fits and irrigating their own land.

obtaining water at a very reasonable
cost when they want 1t and where
they want TIA condition not always
reached with gravity systems.
1t Is clear to any one who has stud
led the irrigation development In the
west that much of the future irriga-
ton work will be done by the aid of
pumping and that electricity is the
most suitable power for this purpose.
Suitable gravity systems have been
quickly seized and developed to their
practical limits. and the combination
of natural conditions that go to insure
the successful gravity system, such as
a sufficient supply of water at suitable
elevation and within easy reaching
distance Of good farming lands. is at
best very limited. Most of these have
been or are already being developed.
The electric development for irri-
CATION pumping is proceeding in two
ways: Either a large pumping plant
suitably located Is installed and all the
water for given acreage is pumped
at this point to a higher level and
then distributed by gravity-the pow
err used being electric. with either
steam or hydraulic generation; or.

Why He Wouldn't Pay.

The conductor on Dorchester car
was very hot and tired and his car
was so crowded he had hard work col
lecting the fares; so when he came
along and saw man standing on the
running board and little three-year-
old child occupying an end seat near
him, he said combatively: You'll
have to give me fare for that little
girl"
I'm sorry" said the man calmly.
"but ! refuse to do 1t"
A heated argument followed. during
which the conductor demanded his
rights and the man calmly refused. At
last the latter said. with a laugh: "One
reason why l won't pay for the child
is that she is not mine and she is
not with me."-Boston Record.
