Pumping water for irrigation is yot in
infancy, especially by wind power, and
which it is claimed is tho cheapest and
least expensive of any way yet devised
to pump water for irrigation on tho
western plains. Notwithstanding all
classes of steam power pumps, fuel is too
expensive in this section of the country
