NOTICE TO RICE PLANTERS!

We desire to announce that we are
fully prepared to drill and complete on
STRICTLY GUARANTEED BASIS
water wells for all purposes, ranging
from four inches to sixteen inches in
diameter, or larger If you wish, We
are prepared to complete wells with
screens of the following diameterS:
4 in wells with in Screen.
6 in wells with in screen.
Sin wells with 10 in screen.
958 wells with II in screen.
II 5.8 In wells with Is in screen.
IA in wells with IA in screen.
Is in Wells with Is in screen.
All of our wells with the exception of
in wells will be completed with THE
LAYNE PATENT SHUTTER SCREENS
which are acknowledged by all who
have used them to be the greatest
screens ever built.
We have perfected and thoroughly
tried out "LAYNE PATENT TURBINE
PUMPS WITH ENCLOSED DRIVE
SHAFT AND FULLY PROTECTED
BEARINGS" which have economical
capacities from 800 gallons per minute
to 1000 gallons per minute. In fact, we
are really prepared to equip each and
every we'll which we may drill with a
Pump of suitable capacity to most
economically pump the we'll to its ca
pacity.
After having carefully noted the per
Torrance of our over 400 complete
Layne Rice Irrigating Plants which we
have installed during the past eight
years in Louisiana Rice Belt, and with
the use of our Improved Screens and
Layne Patent Turbine Pumps with in
closed Drive Shaft and Protected Bear
ings. we have found it feasible to raise
our guarantees approximately 300 gal
Ions per minute in localities which have
been developed. This puts us in po-
Sltlon to absolutely guarantee our
larger wells TO produce as much as
$500 gallons of water per minute" or
no pay. Furthermore, we stand ready
to guarantee for a perofd of two full
pumping seasons, ALL WELLS that we
drill during the coming season.
For the past two years we have been
working out series Of improvements
in the Lyme Patent Pumps and have
been able to very greatly increase their
efficiency and capacities. After having
tried out these Pumps for a period of
over sixteen months, we have found
them to more than meet with our
highest expectations in every detail
and we are now ready to introduce
them in this territory.
We expect to have a few of these
Improved Layne Patent Turbine Pumps
with Enclosed Drive Shaft and Pro.
tected Bearings ready for sale and de-
livery in this locality within the next
few weeks.
Please remember that THE LAYNE
& BOWLER COMPANY has never
offered in any locality, an experiment
for sale. Each and every "LAYNE
PRODUCT" has been thoroughly tried
cut at our own expense before ever be.
