COST OF INSTALLMENT

RV0A VI a-'R
Roughly speaking. the cost OF
the installation of plant suffic-
iently large to furnish water for
the irrigation of a hundred acres
of land is about ten dollars per
acre. The cost of maintenance
depends upon the power used and
the price of gasoline or other
power. The experience of those
who have installed plants and
operated them for a number of
years has shown that where the
lift is under sixty feet. water can
be placed upon the land at an ex-
pense of less than two dollars
per acre foot; that is, a volume
of water equal to twelve inches
on the surface can be delivered
for less than two dollars per acre.
And this amount would insure
any crop during the driest of
seasons. Moreover, it will add
from twenty-five to fifty per cent
to the crop grown in good
seasons.
No definite figures can be given
regarding the expense of a com
plete installation. as no two cases
are alike. The cost will vary
with the depth of water, the lay
of the land and the size of the
unite to be developed.
The estimate of ten dollars an
acre will cover effective plants
under ordinary conditions. If
the unites are larger than one
hundred acres, the cost will ac-
cordingly be diminished; and
there is little doubt that where a
number of unites may be united
and central power plant estab-
Iished, the cost of water delivery
will be materially reduced.
The estimated cost in the
government plant at Garden
City. Kansas, was 81. IL per acre
foot. Here coal was used for
power. An engineering firm of
Denver, Colorado installed five

Ions per minute. The outfit is
run twenty-four hours per day
at a cost of $3.50 per day for
fuel, or something over So. 90 per
acre per season.
In considering the above ex-
ample it should be borne in mind
that the rice fields are kept con-
stantly flooded during the entire
season and that the flow of $500
gallons per minute under ordin-
airy conditions in the semi-arid
west would serve from six hun
dred to one thousand acres.
ELECTRICAL PLANTS AND THEIR
ADVANTAGES
There is little doubt that there
will be much saved in the cost of
power irrigation by the installa-
ton of electrical plants wherever
the acreage is sufficient TO war
rant its installation or where
there are a number of small
units that can be economically
combined.
An example Of the successful
illustration of such plant is that
now in operation on the rice
plantation of Floyd Williams at
Ellis. near Crowley, Louisiana.
This plantation embraces of
seventeen hundred acres and the
plant consists of a Fairbanks
Morse 200 horsepower slow speed
oil engine, using low grade oils.
The generating set provides the
current for operating three
seventy-fve horsepower Fair
banks Morse vertical, squirrel
cage. centrifugal pumps. One
pump is located at the power
house. the second three-quarters

of a mile away, and the third is
a half-mile further on. The cur
rent is transmitted over pole
line at 2, 300 volts, without trans
formers. except a small trans
former at each pump house which
provides |, 100 volts for light.
Each motor is connected by
coupling to the pumps. which
throw a ten inch stream. The
water in the wells stands from
forty to sixty feet below the
surface. The discharge from
each when in operation runs from
three 10 four thousand gallons
per minute. Each well supplies
about $50 acres.
In the installation of this plant
provisions were made for the ad
ditional generating units. motors,
and pumps. as wanted without
materially adding to the cost Of
attendance. This arrangement
allows for locating the wells and
pumps at the most convenient
points for the fields to be flooded
regardless of conditions, of
transportation. etc.
The time is not far distant
when electrically driven pumps
will be used not only in the arid
and semi-arid regions to take the
place of and supplement the rain
fall. but will be installed on
practically every up-to-date farm
for the purpose of insuring GER
tain crops against drouth.

handle of Texas, lifting the
water seventy feet from the
Canadian river, and guaranteed
the cost not to exceed 1922 per
acre foot per season. Here, also
coal to be used.
The amount Of water regarded
as necessary will depend upon
the kind of soil, the nature of
the subsoil and the amount of
intelligence possessed by the ir-
rigator. l.. +. Luller of the
United States agricultural de-
partment of Phoenix. Arizona,
where the thermometer some
times registers 120 degrees and
the evaporation is excessive,
says seventy gallons per minute
/ is sufficient to irrigate seventeen
acres if pumped into a reservoir
and will cost about eighty-two
cents per day, with wells eigh-
teen feet deep and gasoline
twenty cents per gallon.
Under ordinary conditions that
prevail in the plains country,
you may multiply that acreage
by two or even three.
POWER REQUIRED TO PUMP
WATER
Knowing the amount of water
necessary to supplement the
rainfall of any particular region,
or to develop a crop independent
of the rainfall, and also knowing
the power required to lift a
pound of water through a given
space. any body can figure on the
size of machinery necessary and
the approximate cost of its oper-
alton.
One gallon of water weighs
eight and one-third pounds.
This multiplied by the total
number of gallons to be pumped
per minute, gives the total
weight of the water to be
handled; this total weight multi
piled by the number of feet from
the water surface in the well
while pumping TO the center of
discharge pipe will give the
number of foot pounds of work
to be done per minute. Now. as
one horse power is considered as
the energy required to raise SO,
600 pounds a foot in one minute,
the number obtained above
divided by $4,000 will give the
theoretical horsepower required
TO do the work. For example. if
the water level in a well, while
pumping is going OF is twenty
five feet below the surface of the
ground, and the center of the
discharge pipe of the pump is
three feet above the surface of
the ground. the total measured
head to pump against is twenty
eight feet. If the maximum
volume to be pumped is sixty
gallons per minute the weight of
water is sixty times eight and
one-third. or 500 pounds. This
number multiplied by twenty
eight. the total lift in feet. gives
1900, the number of foot
pounds per minute. this number
divided by 80. 900 gives. 0.42, the
required horsepower. This is
the theoretical horsepower re-
CURED in lifting water. and to
this must be added the power
lost in the pump by friction and
slip and in the piping by friction.
These ouantitles are never con-

depends so largely on local con-
ditions that it is needless to at
tempt even to approximate it in
this article"
AT Palisade, Colorado, power
irrigation has attained large pro-
portions. Practically all the
valuable fruit land in the section
is irrigated by water pumped
from the Grande river. The
Paisade irrigation district has
six thousand acres under its
ditch, portions of which have
been sold for as much as 81. 900
per acre. These figures seem TO
register the high water mark of
fruit lands, and it is evident
that such prices could not be OBJ
tanned if the pumping plants
were not as substantial as. and
did not furnish water with the
regularity of any gravity ditch
or reservoir system.
COST OF WATER RIGHT SAVED
] AS a general proposition, by
installing a pumping plant, the
cost of a water right is saved.
Under the ordinary irrigation
systems, this water right costs
from thirty-fve to seventy-hve
dallors per acre.
The projects under the Carey
act usually charge a minimum of
S36 per acre for a water right
Under the government projects,
being constructed and operated
by the Reclamation service. a
water right runs as high as S65
per acre. Thus, it will be seen
that where water is obtainable
in sufficient quantities it Is much
cheaper to install a pumping
plant than II is to purchase a
water right. The service IS
much more satisfactory and the
cost of maintenance is but little
or no higher than under the old
gravity system.
PUMPING WATER FOR IRRIGATION
IN THE RICE COUNTRY
The question OF pumping for
irrigation has been thoroughly
tried out in the rice country Of
Louisiana and Texas. The fol-
lowing figures have been obtain
ed from an experienced rice
grower who has verified them by
several years Of experience. He
irrigated over four hundred
acres from an open well ten feet
in diameter depth, twenty-five
feet to water. The installation
consisted of number eight cen
trifugal pump and fifty horse
power engine. equipped for both
gasoline and crude oil. With
this outfit he pumps $500 gal

types and makes of pumps. the
sizes of the suction and discharge
pipes, the size of the water ports
into the pump, and the head un-
der which the pump operates.
1t is possible to attain a pump
efficiency as high as seventy per
cent, but fifty percent is more
nearly the average under field
conditions; that is. one-half of
the power is lost in overcoming
friction, or in useless work, and
to overcome this we must con-
slider that the net horsepower
computed is only one-half of the
amount of the engine must be
capable of delivering the pump,
so that in the case sited above,
we must have an engine capable
of developing 0.S4 horsepower.
Numerous small plants have
been installed in eastern Colora-
do and western Kansas within
the last few years. Mr.. A. l..
Taylor uses a three horsepower
engine which raises seventy
gallons per minute with a thirty
foot lift. Tarr & Sellers have
installed a twelve horsepower
gasoline engine which delivers
an acre foot every four hours
over a lift of eighteen feet. Mr..
Frank Hunter with a four horse
power engine and a lift Of
twenty feet, is able to deliver
240 gallons per minute.
At the Union Pacific at Wat
kins, about twenty miles east of
Denver, there is a well twenty
eight feet deep, twelve feet in
diameter. from which 1900 gal
Ions per minute have been
pumped without lowering mater
tally the stage of the water in
the well.
In an authoritative paper on
power irrigation, written by
Ralph c. Eley of Deming, New
Mexico. we find the following:
Assuming, for the sake of
argument, that the total lift
from the permanent water level
to the point of discharge is forty
feet and that a well has been
developed capable Of reliably
supplying 400 gallons of water
per minute, there would be ten
horsepower actually consumed in
operating the pump at a fuel
cost of about FIVE and a quarter
cents per hour. Such an install
lation would produce "a, 900 gal
Ions Of water per hour. making
the fuel cost little more than
one-fourth of a cent per 1000
gallons. Such an output will
give four feet irrigation to about
two and one-half acres in every
twelve hours run. The engine
above mentioned would not re-
quire constant personal attend
ance, and assuming. for the
sake of illustration, that it oper-
ates twenty hours per day for
200 days. it would supply two
acre feet of water for lao acres
of land.
In equipping such an outfit
as | have previously mentioned.

sixteen horsepower engine.
