MUSCATINE ISLE
FARM IRRIGATED
Electrically Driven Pumps Will
Raise Water to Supply 65
Acres of Land.

The first electrical irrigation pro-
ject to be tried out in the eastern part
of Iowa, if not in the entire state.
will be worked out on the F. Y. Schae-
fer farm on the Muscatine island. Ar
engagements have been made with the
Muscatine Lighting company whereby
electrical energy will be carried to
that place and within a week it is ex-
pected that the irrigation plant there
will be operated by power brought
from Muscatine The extension OF the
wires will be made at once and it is
expected that it will be completed and
ready for service within five days.
The pumps have already been placed
at the farm and may readily be con-
nected with the power wire.
Water is scarce at a depth OF 10
feet and this will upon being pumped
to the surface be distributed over the
65-acre field by means of galvanized
iron pipe which will turn the water
into the burrows running across the
fields. The present distribution sys-
tenn is TO be improved upon by the
placing OF additional pipe.
Mr.. Schaefer believes that the cleo
trically operated irrigation plant will
make his farm 'drouth-proof." The ex-
penditure he believes to be the best
form OF insurance and is confident thai
his experiment will prove so success
full that 1t will be a forerunner of the
general adoption of electrical irriga-
ton on the island. Intensive farming
Is followed throughout on the Schae-
fer farm and the presence OF a good
flow OF water at all times will insure
good yields and prevent failures which
nave been reported in the past on the
island because of lack of moisture
Mr.. Schaefer believes that the island
is especially adapted TO irrigation be-
cause OF the presence OF water direct
ly beneath the soil. The method of
distribution which Will be employed
Is such as to overcome the objection as
