ASkeW Plans to Raise
Ten Crops Of AlfaIia
Per Year


There will be one Grady county
farmer next year who won't care a rap
whether it rains or not. The fortunate
man is Jas, Robinson on JsS. Askew's
place lite northeast Of Chickasha.
While Mr.. Askew was in the west
during the summer Of 1909 he made a
careful examination Of the irrigation
schemes in Wyoming and other states
and now he proposes to apply the ideas
which he gained to his own place.
The Askew farm is all fine valley
land, lying along the Washita The
proposed irrigation plan is simple
one and AIr. Askew estimates that it
won't cost over $S0O to install It. A
gasoline engine will be used to pump
water from the river and a finch pipe
will convey 1t to series Of bitches
such as are used in the west. The en-
tire 16O acres is SO situated and slopes
in such manner that it will be an
easy matter to water the whole Of il
in this way
THAT lard will produce ten crops
Of alfalfa in a season if it is irrigated,
said Mr.. Askew, and we are going
to try 1t out. We are getting the sol
ready now for sowing alfalfa and be
fore next season we expect to have oul
irrigation system in operation
With irrigated land, the quality O.
soil found in the Washita valley
brings fabulous prices in some Of tbs
western states. One tract in the Grant
valley in Colorado was sold las
year for $4,000 per acre. 1t is eas,
