Electric Pump irrigation
And Some Figures
New Scheme is Being Generally
Adopted in This Valley. Power
Company Lends Assistance
II STATE LIBRARY -

During THE present season, when a
shortage OF irrigation water is threat
!, ened the farmers, there has been d
lively scramble for electric pumping
plants. Several farms in the past had
; placed gasoline motors on the farms.
When they were Of any size Is was
found that they required too much
power and the expense was too heavy
The continual rise in the price OF
gasoline has made it almost prohrb-
tive to install plants with such an
arrangements.
The Truckee River Electric Com
pany has been endeavoring for sew
eral years to induce the farmers to
take daylight service. In other words
the company has been hoping to sell
a dead load that was on hand at a
price where the farmer could make
profits and at the same time the COM
pany would benefit 1t was business
proposition pure and simple. For a
time it seemed that the farmer was
afraid to tackle the Juice" as it
sounded like a fairy dream, the turn
ing OF button and the plant moves.
\ few small plants were installed
to start with. Their success was i'm
mediate. and water was raised from
wells at small cost and whea
needed. There was no fighting the
bucking gasoline engine and when
the plant was installed as it should
be there was no trouble The result
was that this summer there has been
such demand for pumps and motor,

poles were delayed. California was
drying up and all the equipment the
farmers could get was being, placed
in commission. he result has been
that a few farms have been equipped
in this section and in every event It
has proven a big success.
In pumping water for irrigation
the first essential is water in the
sump and plenty OF it, as the CEN
trifugals lift a tremendous amount OF
water and an ordinary we'll lasts but
very short time As soon as the
water supply is definitely established
then the pumps must be figured on.
A pump too big is as bad as one too
small In order to determine thi,
question the Electric Company has

Any time a physician wished to note
the effect Of particularly deadly germ

All of which the monkeys accepted

But they protested when it came to
