IRRIGATION WITH
UNDERGROUND WATER
Investigations in Oklahoma Indicate
Areas which May Be Irrigated by
Pumped Water.

Irrigation with water pumped from
wells in the vicinity of Enid, Okla, is
declared practicable in brief report
just issued by the United States geologi-
cal survey. The average annual pre-
eipitation at Enid for the nine years
prior to 1913 was 3215 inches, but dur
ing the season of 1928 this region
was affected by the drought that pre-
vailed throughout the west and middle
west and the rainfall was only 1874
inches. The serious effect OF this
drought on the crops suggested the utili-
zation of ground water for irrigation,
and the director of the geological survey
was urgently requested by Congressman
Morgan and Mcclure and by w. H.
Scarf, secretary of the Enid chamber OF
Commerce, TO have an investigation
made on the groundwater prospects in
this region The report just issued is
the result of a brief examination Of the
conditions at Enid by A. r. Sehwenne-
sen, of the survey staff. Ii contains a
map that shows the distribution. over a
part of Garfield county, of the Tertiary
sands and grayels, and those of later
origin, which are the principal water
bearing beds of the region.
Underground Water Replenished by
Local Rains
The ground-water supply of these
beds. the report states, is replenished
chiefly by the local rainfall. This supply
is by no means inexhaustible, but mod
crate drafts on it during the compare
lively short season in which irrigation
is necessary will be compensated by the
rainfall throughout the year. Pumping
can be done at comparatively low cost,
and if the ground water which is avail
able is used conseryatively and intelli-
gently for irrigation it can be made to
add greatly TO the agricultural produc-
ton of the community.
The Carboniferous "red beds" which
underlie the Tertiary deposits also yield
some water, but the conditions attend
ing the utilization of this water are so I'M
favorable that its Use is not recommended
except where no other supply is avail
able, and then only for certain intensive
crops, such as fruit or garden truck,
where the financial return per acre would
warrant heavy expense for pumping.

Tale's baseball victory over Williams

BETHEL

Pitcher Aiken's steadiness in the
Ipinches, Catcher Williamson's superb
throwing to second base, the general
good fielding of the locals and streak
of good luck all combined to win Sat-
urday's baseball game 2 to 0 against
Hartford high school of White River
junction. Rarely does high school
pitcher give as good an account of him
self as did Bacon of the visiting team.
He had perfect control and in only one
| inning was he hit consecutiyely. Whit
comb high schools two runs We're made
| in the first inning on Lavelle's double
and steal and Catcher Thayer's wild
throw past third trying to stop Lavelle;
and in the eighth. when Stark hit safe
| ly, stole second and scored on Graham's
| hit. A pretty double play in the first
inning by Hartford was the only one
of the game. In the second, third and
fourth innings the visitors had men on
second and third. Later in the game
they rarely saw second. 1t was the best
local game of the season and made the
locals look still more like champions.

change in the form of government has
been a marked success, although it met
with strong opposition at first. Under
the new plan, any man who could get
% signatures to nomination pager
could have his name ON the ballot. There
were six candidates for mayor and the
two getting the largest number of votes
were the final candidates, one of these
being elected. Instead of seven alder
men, the number was reduced to four,
elected at large. The first year there
were So candidates for the positions, but
much fewer afterwards. The salary of
the mayor was raised from 81 800 to 81
800 and the aldermen, who had been
paid nothing, We're given $1,000 year.
Upon them, according to the new plan,
was placed responsibility for the well
fare of the city, and it was proved that
the city Jared much better and reduced
its debt under the new system. Next
