1t is thought that with a careful use
Of water the plant should be capable
Of serving 100 acres Of land. The cost
OF the deep well plants varies almost
directly with the total lift. With an
average lift Of I25 feet the cost for
complete plant with a capacity of 1000
gallons per minute is about $50 per
foot Of lift, or s6250. On the basis Of
plant Of this capacity serving 100

The average cost Of the plants pump
ing from the shallow wells in the bot

gallons per minute is about $4,000. or
$50 per acre on the basis of a plant
serving 100 acres. Numerous smaller
plants having capacity Of about 1000
gallons per minute are also in opera
tion. With these plants small earth
reservoir is usually provided.
Accurate data on the duty Of water
in this section are not available, but
it is the general opinion among irriga-
tors that the average use use OF water
on the bottom lands amounts to about
four acre-feet per acre per season. As
suming a duty OF 4 acre-feet per acre
On the bottom lands and 2 acre-feet per
acre on the uplands, the total cost per
acre per season on the figures pre-
sented would be about s6.25 on the bot

at the sugar factory. While this yield
is above the present average in the
sugar beet district, the department
SAYS that it should be generally at

erage cost Of raising sugar beets is
given by the company as $50 per acre.
to which must be added the cost OF ir-
rigation, estimated at $11.50 per acre
on the uplands. While pumping on
the uplands is still in the experiment
tai stage, with cheap fuel, encourage
ment is offered to the farmer Of west

not available.
Where the cost of installing a fuel
pumping plant is deemed too expen-
sive attention should be given to the

Importance of which can not be over
estimated. Nearly every farm in west
ern Kansas and western Oklahoma has
a windmill used for stock and domes-
tic purposes. and by building a small
earth or concrete reservoir sufficient
water can be stored for irrigating the

Irrigation by Wells
in Western Kansas

Washington, D. G., Dec. lS.-The re.
cent drouth in the middle western
states is again directing attention TO
the various irrigation possibilities in
the sections where the rainfall is not
TO be depended upon. With few excep-
tions the streams III western Kansas
and Oklahoma and southwestern Ne
braska are of little use for irrigation
because they usually go dry at the
time when is needed. Both the United
States reclamation service and the
United States department Of agricul-
ture have Investigated the possfbili-
ties Of storing water for irrigation and
have reached the conclusion that there
is small opportunity for this kind Of
development. There is available. how.
ever, a large volume Of underground
water which can be obtained by
pumping.
The utilization Of underground wa
ters by pumping is already an import
ant factor in the irrigation develop
ment Of western Kansas. The greatest
development Of this kind at the pres
ent time is in the Arkansas valley in
Finhey and Kearney counties. In ad
dition to about 5000 acres irrigated
by a sugar company there were IS in
dividual pumping plants operating in
this area in 1912, supplying water to
5000 acres and capable OF serving
about $500 acres.
Two general types Of pumping plants
are in use, depending on whether the
water is pumped from shallow or deep
wells. In the bottom or valley lands
the depth to water ranges from 10 to
20 feet. Most Of the shallow wells now
bored are IS inches in diameter and
range from S5 to so feet in depth. Il
has been found that from $50 to 400
gallons per minute can generally be
obtained from one well. Where a larg-
er flow is desired a group of wells is
sunk and a centrifugal pump is con
nected to the wells by means Of sue
tion pipe graduated to decrease fric-
ton.
The deep well plants are found on
the uplands or plains and have been
installed within the past two years.
The success that has been attained in
these plants has caused widespread
interest throughout the western part
OF Kansas The wells on the uplands
are from 300 to 400 feet in depth. de

makes it possible to pump for higher
lifts than would otherwise be practic-
able.
