Factors Which Determine A Profitable
Lift In Pumping Water For Irrigation
By R. Bedichek, Deming, N. NJ.

TN HERE are many factors bear
ing upon the economic ac-
feasibility Of the ground water
Of a given district. The depths at
which the water bearing strata are
encountered and the level to which the
water rises in the well determine,
first the initial cost OF the well, and
second. the fixed charge for pumping
the water. The character or the for
nation is also a factor in determining
the initial cost. If, for example, the
water bearing strata are encountered
at a depth of 500 to 1000 feet, and the
character OF the formation is such
that drilling IS slow and difficult, it
means that the initial cost or the trrt-
cation well viii be great II the wa
to within 10 or 20 feet of the surface,
it means that the pumping cost viii
be low Vice versa, If sufficient water
for irrigation can be obtained at a
depth Of $50 feet, but the water rises
only to the 1OO-fOot level ii means a
low cost for the well, and q compare
lively high cost for pumping ma
chinery as well as expensive pumping.
The ideal condition is. of course. water
at shallow depth and sufficient ar

where IS inches is all the water that
can be prOfitably applied.
Again, the texture of the soil is an
important element. Some soils do not
retain moisture as long as other soils
and must be irrigated oftener. In dis
tricts where the soil and climatic con-
priced products, water can be pumped
profitably at much greater lifts than
in districts where only low priced

the Chicago convention. The ROOSe-
velt boosters are not expected to show
much enthusiasm for Taft, but they
will have to give him nominal sup
port. Nobody believes a third party
will get much sympathy or make
much of showing. Personal interests
will keep most of the Roosevelt fol-
lowers in line. The Republican who
is candidate for office will have to
run for such office on the Republican
ticket. He can't tail off after Roose-
welt. If Roosevelt runs in Kansas he
will have to run as an independent,
which will make it necessary to write
his name and that of his electors into
the ballot.
mot great deal of that can, or
will be done. Around Topeka there
has been no wild talk. The general
disposition among those vitality inter-
ested is to accept the situation as it
is and make the best of it. They
can't do anything else. Anything
like an attempt on the part of his
supporters to follow Roosevelt would
result certainly in the Democratic
ticket from stem to stern. Governor
StubbS still was in Chicago at the
time this letter was written and his
real attitude is unknown. He counsel
ed against bolt of the Kansas dele
CATION, but has since been quoted as
being still for Roosevelt. Nothing
would please the regular Republicans
so much as to have Stubbs follow t. r.
1t would make his elimination GER

pointed out to certain Roosevelt
boosters the hole into which they
were lowering themselves. Now
that they are at the bottom without
rope in sight, he takes some pride
in again pointing out the depression" +"

One good term deserves another or

Perhaps you have a good memory

convention in 1896 with tears in his
eyes as big as hedge apples, just be-
cause things didn't go to suit him.
Who was he and how much ice has
he cut since his walkout?

Political Gossip.

J. E. House, the Topeka newspaper
man, has the following political article
on the Chicago convention echoes in
the Atchison Globe:
"A least one Kansan who went to
Chicago imued with the militant
spirit and committed to the Roose-
velt candidacy, came back with
modified ideas and his eyes wide open.
The KanSan in question is Harold L.
Chase, editor of the Topeka Capital
Mr.. Chase was not one of the original
Roosevelt boomers. At the first he
wanted Chief Justice Hughes. He
still thinks the convention should
have selected Hughes. But Hughes
being unavailable, he went to Chic
ago to pump for Roosevelt. Il got my
bellyfull of it,, said Mr.. Chase to the
writer today. And since Mr.. Chase
rarely descends to strong language,
the word .bellyful' means much more
than it would coming from the aver
age man. Mr.. Chase says the Roose-
welt campaign in Chicago was the
nigh water mark of imbecility for
this country, and that it was not
at any time Illuminated by a CLEAN
of intelligence.
s'It was Roosevelt's disposition
from the first to bolt, and that only
the fools and firebrandS among his
supporters who constantly advised
the same thing, could get his ear.
Mr.. Chase says George L. Record of
New Jersey was the only one of

had any sense. He says William Finn
of Pittsburg is the worst type of
political boss he has ever seen, and
compares him to John L. Sullivan.
greatly to Mr.. Sullivan's advantage.
Col Cecil Lyon, of Texas, he
characterizes as slave driver, Cover
nor johnson of California, as crazy
reformer without a balacce wheel,
and Heney as a firebrand dangerous
to any political organization with
which he affiliates himself.
s'On the other hand, Mr.. Chase
thinks well of Clifford Pinchot. J r.
Garfield and a few others who were in
the Roosevelt following, but says
they were wholly out of place in
the crowd in which they found Them
selves. The advice of his more con-
servative followers made no impress
ion on Roosevelt. He listened only to
Johnson, Heney, Finn, Munssy and
the hellraising type. When the
question of bolting came up to the
Kansas delegation only three mem
bers were for it, Henry Allen, q. S.
Sartin, of Kansas City, and Harry
Woods, of Wellington. Henry Allen
cried like a baby when the delegation
voted not to bolt and announced that
he would bolt alone. Allen, Mr. Chase
says, is completely under the Roose-
yelt spell.
"The general opinion in political
circles is that the Kansas gentlemen
who unfolded the Roosevelt boom in
this state will have to eat dirt and
lots of it. The talk around Topeka
is that there will be a general, If
nominal, acceptance of the verdict of
