Unougnthe rains tnis season
have been sufficient to insurecrops,
windmill irrigation has not been
lost sight of by upland farmers, and
manv of them are actively discuss
ing the question. The Van Brock
lin brothers, who reside nineteen
miles southeast of town are putting
in an irrigation plant where the
depth of well is 180 feet. They be
lieve that as far as the extra power
is concerned that is required to lift
water from this depth, that by the
use of two columns of water and
two pumps, the weight of first
column of water can be made to
overcome the weight of the second,
and in this way a large quantity of
water can be lifted with the mini
mum of power. Some figures have
been given showing what can be
done by pumping water different
depths. A 12 foot mill with reser
voir will irrigate five acres of land
when pumping from the depth of
two hundred feet. From the same
depth a sixteen foot mill will lift
water enough to irrigate ten acres
and by putting in a. winter crop as
high as twenty might be thus
watered. The secret of successful
windmill irrigation will be found in
the reservoir system and as our
farmers learn how to thus handle
their water economically we may
expect an era of steady permanent
prosperity to ensue, and the up
lands will steaeily move forward in
the race for prosperity with the low
lands, where canal irrigation is the
exclusive means used. XXX.
