TYPES OF IRRIGATION PUMPS
Centrifugal. Reeiproeatina and Water
Lift or Elevator Possess Neees-
sary Qualifications.

Practically two factors only deter
mine the type Of pump to adopt for
irrigation purposes. namely the lift
necessary and the quantity Of water
desired. Other considerations such as
durability. economy Of operation. relia-
bility. first cost and ease Of operation
will enter into the decision as to the
make OF pump rather than the type.
There are practically three types Of
pumping machines used for irrigation
purposes. namely. the centrifugal
pump. the reciprocating pump. and the
water aft or elevator. The rotary
pump is employed to some extent In
rice irrigation. but Its use has not
been EXTENDED to the far west, and II
seems to offer but few points Of ad-
vantage over the centrifugal. SO that
one OF the various makes Of the three
types mentioned will probably be
chosen. There Is besides these the air
lift. a method of pumping by COM
pressed air which. while extremely
simple and a very effective means of
pumping from wells yielding quick
sand. is at the same time and In the
present state of the art SO generally
conceded to be q method Of low en-
cheney that 1t Is almost out of the
question In connection with irrigation

WAY OF IRRIeATINe ALFALFA
Methods Of Applying Water Differ
Widely Because Of Diversity In
Soils and Subsoils.

The method Of applying water to-
alfalfa differ widely because Of diver
sity in soils and subsoils. in climate
and topography. In the nature of the
water supply, the size OF the farm. the
amount of money available for prepar-
ing the land for water. the prevailing
crops grown. and the early training
and environment of the frrigator. The
standard methods have been grouped
under the following heads. namely.
the border method. the check method.
flooding from field laterals. furrow ir-
rigation. and other less common meth
DDS. with various notifications OF
each.
In passing 1t may be said that the
usual order is to locate and build the
farm bitches first and prepare the land
afterwards. After one has general
knowledge of the various ways OF ap-
plying water and of the size and char
acter of the ditch required for each
method he il in q better position to
understand the proper methods to
adopt in building farm ditches.
Essentially the border method con-
sists of the division of q field or
tract into long. narrow strips or lands
by low nat levees which usually ex-
tend In the direction Of the stepest
slope and confine the water to a single
strip. The bed of each strip Is care
fully graded to a uniform slope. al
though the slope may change to con-
form to the contour Of the natural sur
face. The water to irrigate each strip
Is taken from the head ditch extend
Ing across the upper edge Of the field.
and is controlled by an outlet box or
border gate. although the gates are
sometimes omitted to save In first
cost of preparing for irrigation. Check
gates. canvas dams. or metal tappoons
are used to hold up the water In the
head ditch to cause 1t to flow into the
borders.
This method Is confined chiefly to
the irrigation of alfalfa and grain. and
in its various notifications is used
extensively in Arizona. California.
and. to a less extent. in Idaho. Mon
tana and other Rocky mountain states.

FARM NOTES.

Every progressive farmer should In.
terest himself In schools in his neigh.
borhood.
The rundown farm is an awful OBJ
ject lesson. Don't let yours get In
that class.
Small farms facilitate social inter.
course and bring modern conveniences
to every door.
Remember that an ounce Of proven.
ton is worth a pound Of cure. This
applies in many ways.
It is not the number of acres but
their productiveness that determines
the profit of the farm.
Utilizing all the waste products on
the farm is one way of cutting down
expenses and building up profits.
Artificial heat is absolutely neces.
sary and a well ventilated. dry base
ment. with heat. is ideal for saving
seed corn.
Scrape the loose bark from the fruit
trees. An old broom is splendid for
this purpose. Burn the scrapings to
get rid Of hidden insect eggs.
