TURBINE WHEELS. FIRST
CHOICE FOR IRR.GATlON

Chicago. April 5.-Stephen O. Jayne,
United States irrigation expert. sta
toned at Spokane. Wash. in a lengthy
paper on pumping for irrigation,
makes the following observations:
Water power by turbine wheels is
first choice.
Electric power, when it can be OBJ
tanned, is second choice.
A cord of seasoned fir or tamarack
wood is about equal in fuel value to 4
ton of Rock Springs coal.
1t requires about one pint of gaso-
line per horse powe- per hour in gaso-
line engines. and distillate probably
about 80 per cent cheaper
1t requires at least a pound OF coal
per horse power per hour for the best
steam engines obtainable. and about
four and half pounds per house pow
er per hour for common engines.
would add at least so per cent to
these amounts of coal to make good
in practice.
Centrifugal pumps are not recon-
mended for lifts much over 100 feet
Where centrifugal pumps are used.
more power must be provided to do
the same work with plunger pumps.
Large pumping plants are proper
tionately more economical than small
ones.
1t requires III theoretical horse
power to raise sufficient water 100
feet high, land other elevations IN
proportion) to cover 10 acres one foot
deep in so days. and this theoretical
power should be doubled to give sat
isfactory results in practice or say
about three and a half horse power
The cost of attendance and inciden-
tails must be considered, bearing in
mind that turbine water wheels and
electric motors need but little atten-
