stage pump in the bottom of the
well, thus eliminating a long drive
shaft. This offers the advantages of |
high efficiency, quiet operation and
elimination of a pump house. A
motor-control box mounted on a
post is all that is required at the
surface.
The p1unger type of pump is
rarely used for irrigation except
where comparatively small amounts
of water are to be raised from great
depths. 1t is mainly used for supply
ing water for domestic purposes and
in garden irrigation.
The jet pump is widely used for
domestic water systems. Since all
moving parts are above ground level,
they are easily and conveniently
maintained. Cheaper initial cost of
low maintenance expense especially
recommend this type of pump where
water requirements are not heavy.
Many supplemental irrigation sys-
TENS make use of portable pumping
equipment. This may consist either
of a movable source of power to
be connected with pumps at widely
separated points, or unit complete
with both pump and engine, or
motor.
Flood or Sprinkle
There are two general methods by
which water is applied to the soil
flood irrigation and overhead, or
sprinkler, irrigation. There are adj
vantages and disadvantages to each
method, to be considered in making
logical choice for any given set of
conditions.
Flood irrigation can be used, as a
rule, only on fairly flat land with
uniform slope, or burrows laid off
on contour with slight slope. The
type of soil will determine the most
desirable slope and length of the
burrows.
Sprinkler irrigation, on the other
hand, may be employed under al
most any conditions, regardless Of
land Typography or soil texture.
With sprinkler irrigation, it is pos
sible to control more exactly the
amount of water put on the soil.
This assures more uniform distribu-
ton with absorption fast enough to

Easily coupled lightweight alumni
mum piping is used with a portable
sprinkler irrigation system, and
comes in various diameters to meet
the needs of both large and small
systems.
Various size sprinkler heads are
available for applying water TO the
soil at the correct rate.
Sprinkler systems usually are de-
signed to operate at between 80 to
so pounds pressure. However, larger
sprinkler heads may require up to
$50 pounds pressure for best opera
ton.
Irrigation, if best results are to be
obtained, should become habit, not
just something to be resorted to
only when crops are threatened by
dry spells.
To sum up, irrigation requires
good planning, engineering, installa-
tion-and use. Chances are that once

Grande's best performance was
during the Delaware : LAFAYETTE
contest when he ended the game
with six passes under his belt, the
most caught in a single game By
Delaware player all year.
IN addition TO being the sole Del
aware player to select chemical en-
gineering as a major, Grande IS
UNIQUE ia other respects. The New

ture was taken shortly before the

Virginia Will Join
7 States and District
In Gas RATE Hearings

Virginia will join with Mary
land, West Virginia and the
District of Columbia in appear
ing before the Federal Power
Commission at gas rate hearings
affecting the four areas.
The new policy was announced
yesterday by the Virginia State
Corporation Commission at
Richmond, the Associated Press
reported.
The State will intervene, the
announcement said, in an effort
to insure Virginians the "fairest
possible consideration in rate
revisions.
AS an initial step, the four
have applied for the right to
intervene in pending case af-
fecting rates of the Columbia
Gas System. whose subsidiaries
supply natural gas in Virginia.
Norman Elliott, an attorney
for the sec, said Virginia's role
before the Federal Power Com
mission will be that of a partici-
pant interested in seeing just
rates established.
Our aim is to see a full de-
velopment of the facts upon
which the power commission can
render a fair and equitable de-
cision to ALL"
He said it was possible the
State would intervene in cases
of rate revisions at the well level.
This, he declared. is because
any boost at the lowest rung
inevitably is passed along un-
til it reaches the consumer.

Duo-pianists Alice and Arthur
Nagle treated the members of
the Friday Morning Music Club
to one Of the most interesting
programs Of I" two piano music
heard hereabouts in many a day
at the Cosmos Club yesterday
morning.
The Nagles opened their re-
cital on an unusual note with
a tart, nervous sonata by Paul
BoWles. This composer is moth
ing if not versatile; he is per-
haps better known to the general
public as an author. Although
music was his first love, he be-
gan a new career as a successful
writer a few years ago and since
then little has been heard from
him along musical lines. His
sonata sparkles with the same
exotic wit that characterizes his
novels and short stories and eX-
hibits the same superlative
craftsmanship.
Following a fine fugue by
Theodore Chanler and the first
| performance of an attractive
trif1e by Jack Conklin (who was
present to take a well-merited
bow, the team offered a two
piano sonata by Muzio Clement
who will be remembered by every
one who has taken piano lessons
as the manufacturer of dozens
of beginners sonatinas. AS a
serious composer, Clement writes
music of Haydnish charm, and
his B fiat sonata displays him in
an elegant and good-natured
mood.
A group of three short works,
highlighted by Pouleno's in
souciant L'embarquement pour
Cythere," concluded the con-
cert.
If the Nagles are not the
worlds greatest technicians, they
are still very intelligent mu-
sicians, and it was a pleasure to
hear a program of such distinc-
ton played with sympathy, sem
sitivity and understanding.
Mr.. Nagle showed astounding
aplomb in the face of a piano
which suffered from a dreadful
case of rattles The problem was
eventually solved by stripping
from it its vibrating appendages
but not until after the Clement
sonata had been completed.

AssaiIed by Editor
BY the Associated Pres.

An official Of the. American
Society of. Newspaper Editors
classifies as offensive censor
ship" a new Commerce Depart
ment project to limit the over
seas fiow of strategic informa-
tion.
j. Russell Virgins said yester-
day he was convinced the prof.
ect constitutes "the most serious
threat to freedom of informa-
ton that has developed in the
Eisenhower administration" Mr..
Virgins, vice president and
managing editor of the Washing
ton Post and Times Herald, is
chairman of the society's Free
dom Of Information Committee.
His target in letters to the
Society's president and board of
directors was an "Office of Stra-
tegic Information" created last
month by Secretary Commerce
Weeks.
Aims to Protect u. S.
The Office was set up to devise
voluntary industry procedures to
block leakage of information
through trade and technical
publications to foreign countries
which might use the data ''in a
manner harmful to the defense
interests of the United States" !"
Mr.. Virgins contended the
program would hamper United
States industrial progress and
said. mo one has cited any evi-
dence that would warrant Gov
ernment intervention in a field
OF non-classified information
where its presence hitherto has
not been tolerated even in time
of war;"
"The Government ought to
drop this proposal" he wrote.
Mr.. Virgins noted that the
new Office, headed by r. Karl
Honaman, former publications
director OF the Bell Telephone
