Iron Age Doubts Rise
I'm Price Before July

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 (R. -
Iron Age. weekly magazine of the
metal industry, said today there
is little chance of an increase in
the base price of steel before
next July.
Steel company profits are be-
ing squeezed by rising costs,
especially for scrap and coal, the
magazine said, and terrific pres
sure" is building up for an in
crease. 1t added that charges
for EXTRAS" such as additional
operations or special quality,
might be raised but predicted
even this is not likely before the
end of the year.
Producers are not going to
boost prices - either base or
extras willy-nilly." Iron Age
said. IF and when they do,
they'll be armed with strong ar
guments to beat of possible
criticism"

Day-tO-Day Operations
OF a Dairynaan-Feeder
By ALBERT KING

IRRIGATION is hard work but what
a blessing it is to have water available
in the streams and to be able to use
electricity for power with which to
pump the water onto the land to quench
the thirst of the parched soil and bring
life to the whitening plants.
We have had long spell of dry
weather. AS matter of fact, we haven't
had any moisture in the form of rain
that we could use since last July and
that's almost year. Fortunately, we
do not have to depend entirely upon
rain. The river borders my farm and
from it 1 am privileged to pump ade-
quate amoutnS of water for the grow
ing crops.
Iuse three propeller type pumps, each
one delivers about second feet of wa
ter and two men can ordinarily cover
about II to Is acres day with these
streams. When we started irrigating
this spring however, we found the
ground was so dry it took almost twice
as long to irrigate an acre as when
moisture in the soil was normal.
Several Advantages
Using electricity for pumping water
with a privately owned system has a
number of advantages over company
owned or government projects. For eX-
ample it is not necessary to place an
order for water couple of days ahead
of the time when it will be needed. l
just go to the pump house, push the
button and there is my irrigation
stream ready for use.
By the same token when night comes
or in case of break or other necessary
interruption in the irrigating program
it is not necessary for me to get word tc
the ditch rider to shut off my water
Another push of the button stops the
flow.
1t costs a little more to irrigate by
pumping than on the average gravity
flow canal. My costs run around 81
cents per acre for each irrigation anC
in the first irrigation this season 1 ap
