ALFALFA GROWING IN JASPER
COUNTY,

The following statement is going
the rounds in the county papers:
Thousands of acres in Jasper
County will raise just as good al
falfa as any land, if proper cultural
methods are applied.
If well drained land that will
raise 35 or 40 bushels of corn per
acre is selected and plowed early
in fall and then treated with about
2 tons ofground limestone per acre
and alfalfa seeded about Septem-
Der l at rate of Is pounds of good
inoculated seed per acre, no nurse
crop used success is almost certain.
There are three different fields
in Jasper County that yielded at
least 5 tons of good alfalfa hay per
acre this year in four cuttings.
This would bring three times the
money that the same land would
yield in corn and it would be much
better for the land.

feeding cattle to get rid of it and
thus to making money"
Fifteen years ago l was ten :

Ill. The turbine pump is 76 feet the we'll is 80 feet deep, there being a 4 foot sump. A tunnel 4X6 feet in dimension driven in 137 feet of solid quartz monzo mite. taps at it's very vent the deep V shaped trough, in which rests the sands of the river bed, from the upper surface of those sands down to the inverted apex of the vent. is 64 feet, and above that upper surface flows the river, which carries an immense volume of water at flood season. Ia the sands of the river bed, at all seasons, there is constant flow of pure mountain water, drained from great watershed. including the west side of the south end of the Huachuca mountains, both sides of the south half of the Patagonia mountains, and the north side of the Santa Cruz mountains, many hundreds of square miles. The pump and motor raise the water over a divide 57O feet higher than the river, between the stream and the city, and it de ivers in the city 1000 gallons per minute. Present needs are one million gallons per 24 hours. The new unit supplies that in 16 hours, and has consequently a reserve capacity of 5OO,OOO gal Ions daily. which will meet the needs of the growing town a nun Der of years-at least de cade. The motor is housed in a subs tantial brick and concrete structure, with ample room and complete electric equipment out side to provide another such unit, making possible the de livery of 3,OOO,OOO gallons daily at small additional cost. In the we'll the water rises through the tunnel to within 20 feet of the floor on which the motor sets. It is estimated that at present dimensions we'll and tunnel can supply 1000 gallons of water per minute.
 As stated the turbine pump was sold to the city by the Am erican Wells Works, Aurora, Ill.,; the electric motor by the Western Electric Co.,, of the U. s.; while their installation and construction of the buildings were carried out by A. S. Noon, constructor, of Nogales, Arizona; we'll and tunnel were driven by Fraser and Mcdonald of Pata gonia, and the Arizona Gas and Electric Company have a con tract for three years to supply electric power.
