stu Pump or DraW Water on Farms

supplying an adequate stream Of
water on d farm today is just IS
important. if not more. than the
supply of electric current for
light. Just as electric lighting
must be adequate for lis purpose,
the water supply must be ade-
quate for the needs OH the farm.
At the same time, the pumping
equipment must be OF the proper
capacity in relation tC the supply
of water available in the we'll.
Many wells are pumped dry by
pumps too large for the amount
supplied by the Well, and too
many pumps are worked to death
Ly q demand too high for their
capacities.
A water system Must be ade-
Quate, compact and foolproof and
long lived and economical.
Shallow Wells
For shallow wells, an ordinary
plunger type pump would be the
most serviceable. 1t is the easiest
to maintain Since it is driven by
separate electric motor by q
belt motor which is usually on
hand at the farm. or in case OF
power failure. the place of the
electric motor can be taken by a
small gasoline engine.
There is also a shallow well
jet type which is. besides being
more compact. lower in price. Ii
also has the advantage that il
pump which is often desirable fol
can be converted into q deep vel
cases where the farmer sees 9
possibility that his we'll might
have to be dug or drilled deepel
at future date
For deep wells, the jet pump
would be the most economical
But the deep we'll plunger type
pump is still preferred by many
farmers in spite of higher eX-
pense. The jet pump requires two
pipes to the jet. which is located
almost at the bottom of the well
This not only adds TO the expense
but also to the maintenance. The
jet is a delicate piece OF appara-
tus. Small pebbles. steel wool and
solder. rust from steel pipes. even
black eyed peas are sometimes
found in the jet. plugging up the
small orfice. thus lncapacitatine
the pump. In most cases such
trouble makers can be avoided by
proper care. but in case they APP
pear. both pipes Will have to be
pulled out of the well. This in
most cases is a hard job. especial

II takes nearly 40 minutes a
cay to pump and carry water by
hand for the average home. To
get years supply OF water, it
takes about 240 hours. This means
that the average home takes "a
ten-hour days each year to pump
and carry water. What is the
labor cost? TWO hundred and
forty hours times 75c equals $3.50,
labor cost.
We conducted water system
survey in Amelia county on lll8
farms and found that SAB had
pressure water systems. and IT'S
were still pumping or drawing
water IT'S time $3.50 equals $780,
500 the labor cost for water on
these farms. 1t is estimated that
the average housewife walks 70
miles a year between the well and
the house. carrying approximately
20 tons of water. From our survey,
we find that 260 families are
planning to install water systems
in the near future.

New York Educator
To Testify on College
Curbs Against Reds
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee sought informa-

to rid New York City colleges
of red teachers.
Joseph B. Cavallaro, chairman

outline the situation at a pub

bert Philbrick, an FBI counter
spy in the Communist Party for
nine years.
The subcommittee said that
since it began its probe last fall,

have refused at public hearings
to answer questions about pres
ent or past membership in the
Communist Party.

All invoked their conStitu-
tional privilege against possible
standardization, thereby, un-

themselves to dismissal. Sub
committee Counsel Robert Nor

Chairman Jenner said the sub
committe wanted to find out
from Mr. Cavallaro what the pro-
cedure of the New York Board
of Education is going to be for
dealing with Communist faculty
members.
If it is going to take steps
to get rid of them, he said he
saw no need for the subcommit-
tee to call additional teachers to
testify publicly. There is no use
in duplicating their work" he
said, and indicated the same
