WINDMILL IN sEMIARiD WEST
Millions Of Acres Now Barren Would

Practical Suggestions.

The rainfall in the semiarid west

section is to a certain extent hazard
GUS. but the millions of acres now bar
rem, which would prove rich and fer
tile IL irrigated, are now attracting
eastern farmers who are prone to risk
failure in view of the possibilities in
years of favorable Precipitation Some
of this land will be reclaimed through
irrigation. and the growing OF
drought-resistant crops and the adop-
ton OF improved methods Of culture
will do much to make the farming <Pf
these lands less hazardous. But there
have been many deplorable failures
which could have been averted had
the settlers fortified themselves
against periods of drought by irri-
eating small parts Of their holdings
1t il with a view of helping such
that the feasibility Of pumping water
for the irrigation of small areas in
connection with dry farming Of more
extensive areas was investigated by
the irrigation ONCE of the United
States department of agriculture.
Large wind movement provides q
cheap source of power for lifting un-
derground water. and the results Of
these Investigations are embodied In
a farmers bulletin mo. 394) entitled
The Use Of Windmflls in Irrigation
in the Semiarid West" Just issued by
the department. the possibility of this
is set out In a simple comprehensive
way. and practical suggestions are
made to those who are now using or
are contemplating the use of wind
mills for pumping water for irrigation.
The data given for plants on the
great plains show. however. that the
windmill is not a cheap source Of
power; that to accomplish this result
requires capital. and that II the con-
ditions require too great outlay It pre-
cludes the possibility of such a pro-
cedure.
The bulletin treats on the sources
of water supply. the quantity Of water
available. well casing. sinking wells.
capacity of mills. choice of tower.
erection OF mills. pumps. reservoirs.
maintenance OF mills. crops under
windmill irrigation. and closes with a
description of methods and mills now

ought to be good profits in producing
more meats on Long island farms.
Stock raising here seems to be on thu

beeves are produced as formerly.
Even farmers themselves patronize
butchers and pay the exorbitant prices
demanded. Pork has retailed from Is
to 20 cents pound. One of the prin
cipal objections farmers raise against
hog growing is that grain Is too high
