PUMP The WATER
Irrigation to Be Used on Scott
City Ranch.
Electric Light Plant to Furnish
Power for Pumps.

Scott City, Kan, Feb. 15.-J. W.
Tough & Co, of Scott City, backed by
ChlcaSo capitalists, are preparing to
build a 100000 electric power plant here
which will provide light for Scott City
and power for the operation of irrigs-
ton pumps throughout the county
There is an unlimited supply of good
water in the underf1OW and all that is
needed is cheap power for pumping to
permit irrigation on an extensive scale
There already are several large irri-
eating plants operated by gasoline and
steam power. but it is believed that
electricity will be cheaper and much
more satisfactory in other ways, re-
curing practically no attendance.
l. is estimated that the cost of sink
ing wells and equipping pumping plants
the first cost is Immediately compen-
stated by the increased value of the
land.
J. w. Tough, manager of the COM
pany, has been a successful ranch
man in Scott county for years He has
made extensive tests of the undertook
and has the opinions of expert irriga-
ton men that the underfow is sufh-
cient to irrigate all the cultivatable
land in the county. He has put down
a number of wells and has raised
large crops OF alfalfa and grain on the
irrigated land. One well, IL miles south
east of Scott City, supplies water to
irrigate 20t acres.
Mr.. Lough's company has invested
more than a million dollars in Scott
county land. which will be developed as
soon as the power plant is completed.
The plant itself will cost about $4,000
and an equal amount will be spent Oh
the transmission lines. The plant, it is
announced, will be completed about
July 1. Il number of wells Will be put
down this spring.
The new system will revo1utionize
farming in this county, which hereto
fore has been largely by the dry
method. Under the irrigating system
the only cost, after the wells are sunk,
will be for power. There are no water
rights to be paid for and the supply
is said to be inexhaustible.
