WELL IN THE DESERT
Securing Domestic and Irrlgat

New and Broader Conception of Reta
ttons of Subterranean Water to
Irrigation Have Recently Pre
vailed -Ample Quantities.
Quantities,
Sinking tvclls into watrr-benrinir
strata to secure domestic and irrtna
tlon suppiica is now being resorted to
as neror before. New and brooder
conceptions of the rotations of nuhter-
ranean water to irrigation have re
cently prevailed. Individual irrigation
undertakings have been recently en-
tabllshed very largely unon wells and
pumps or upon (lowing wells, whero-
ever tney can be had. During tho last
three years there have bi?n tinrhnna
ten times as many pumping outfits set
up ror Irrigation as " hud been em
ployed during the whole earlier Irriga
tion of this state, cars tho Denver
Flejd and Farm.
Large Irrigation companies have
sunk groups of wells and Dumnci!
from thorn Into their distributing
aitcnoe and flumes. Individual Irri
gators faavo sunk wells und bought
pumping plants when tho ditch water
failed and have now learned tho su
periority of home supply, to bo drawn
up Just when It can bo used to best
advantage, and often to be had for
much less than the rates of the ditch
companies. Lnrge regions which had
never secured irrigation systems have
been forced by drouth to seek water
and having found it below ground In
ample quantities they will pot fall In
tho future to use Irrigation as a sup
plement to tbo rainfall.
Many of these plants are centrif
ugal pumps run by otcam. Theso
are tho larger plants, fifteen to forty
horsepower and in some instances
more and tbo sizu of tho pumps
ranges' from 'four to twelve Inches.
Most of tbo smaller pumps nro run by
gasoline, although several- uso crude
dII and many of them aro also cen
trifugal. Some of these are deep-well
pumps and thoy are very satisfactory
In raising water from a greater depth
than J 00 feot. From 100 to 300 feet
they work admirably. The cost, of
pumping differs materially with the
different kinds of power, sizes of
pumps and dopth of wolls. Figuring
from what may bo n snfo ayerago of
the actual cost of fuel, a No, 4 pump,
centrifugal with gaeollno ns nownr.

to a aopttt of a, little more than two

Is sare to say that at a cost of !S an

NEW SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION
Parallel Lines of Galvanized Iron Pipe
Meeting with Muh Favor Among
Many Farmers.
Another system of Bpriukllng that
Is meeting with favor and being
widely adopted by truck farmers,
berrr scrowers and irrrnhoimn men
consists of running parallel lines of
galvanized Iron pJp, elevated high
enough above the ground to permit

tions,
Thero pipes, or nozzle lines, as
they are oalled, nro usually oet 40
to CO feet nDart. and aunnortd on ton
of posts about 7 or 8 feet high.
Hrnnll brass nozzles aro screwed in
tbo parallel pipes at Intervals of frdra
three to four feet and when tho sys
tem is In operation thousands of tiny
streams sboot forth, producing a re
sult almost like natural rnin nvpr (h
area between the ilbzzlo lines. The

IRRIGATE TEN ACRE RANCH

Amount Uusualiy Allowed, One 25
Foot Mill Will Do Work.
In reply to a nuery. ''What alze
windmill would bo reciulred to irrleate

ply Is made:
The answer will or course denend
on tho quantity or water required per
ncro tor good Irrigation in that local
ity, ir wo assume, ns a unit, a depth
of ono-lnch por wolc wibch Is less
thnn,ls usually allowed for irrigation
that gives us a starting point or ten
acre-incnes per wook. A windmill
Will work on Hie average eight hours
a day, To pump ten acrcs-lnchcs 'a
week (60 hours) to a holght or 160
loet, would requlrn three horsepower
working continuously ror that time,
According to tho pumping capacities
or winumnis, as acivort!nod by a mnnu
racturlng Arm, a 10-foot windmill
would require 240 bourn to cover ten
acres to a dopth of one Inch, The
conclusion Is, that It would require
four such windmills to do tho work
required, that Is, to pump ton acre
Inches a wook. One 2G-foot wlndmll'
would do the' work.

Marcuso Colony, located In Sutter
County, which la in tho heart ot the
Sacramento Valloy, Is fast coming to
tho front as a farming community in
which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known iriay bo successfully raised
without irrigation.
Tho soil is a dark, sandy loam.
sedimentary In character, level and
well drained. It has tho advantage
over other soils in that it is looso In
charactor and superior to heavy soils.
with this wealth of soil, abundance
of water, unoxcollcd cllmato and long
growing seasou, Marcuso Colony is.
tho Ideal place for tho hornesceker
with limited means, tho. worn out pro
fessional man, or tho young man look
ing for a email farm in a healthful
climate. Tho proximity of Marcuso Colony to
Sncramento, furnishes u ready market:
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vcgotnbleo,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield largo returns. Tho rainfall Is.
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is -yet moderately priced, but
