TRYING OUT IRRIGATION.
Wallace County Conducts Experiment
Third in Locality.

Sharon Springs, Kan, May 3.-The
state irrigation committee was in
Sharon Springs last week and picked
on a location southeast of town as a
possible location for demonstration
well for deep irrigation. The county
surveyor is surveying for the high
point to sink test well and when the
well is drilled the we'll will be logged
and a report made to the commission:
then if sufficient water is found the
work will be started. This territory
where the we'll is, is like the south
one-third of Wallace county, underlaid
with 20 to 40 feet of water bearing
gravel. If this well proves a success
it will mean that the south third of
Wallace county will become an irri-
gated territory The wells that have
been drilled in this territory all have
an unlimited supply of fine water at a
depth of 20 to 40 feet.
