WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT?
Despite Russian claims to the contrary, almost without
exception the world'* great inventions of the last century
have come from America.
This is no accident. The inquiring mind and venturesome
•pirit that finds its fulfillment In such creative activity is
distinctly American.
But there is still another contributing characteristic that
Is even more important and even more typically American
. . . that is the desire for improvement. Thi* desire fo»
Improvement also is an earmark of American business.
The Kansas Nebraska Natural Gas Company pioneered
In bringing the wonder-fuel Natural Gas to rural areas.
For the past quarter of a century, K-N has continually
searched for new and better ways to serve the Great
Plains area better.
The desire for Improvement is another of the things that
makes America great!

Schrunk Enthuiastic
f o r Irrigation
(Continued from page 1.)
ed only west of the 100th meii
dan.
“In the second stage—the wet
cycle of the 1940-’50 decade —
irrigation increased 47 percert
in terms of acreage. In 1958 we
had two million acres under ir
rigation in Nebraska. Last year
90 percent of the corn produc
tion in Nebraska was accomplish
ed on only 10 percent of the corn
land.
“With wisdom and degression,
I firmly believe the Nebraska po
tential is four million acres
under irrigation.
“Hamilton county, not so many
years ago a parched county with
no production, last year averag
ed 60-70 bushels per acre in ir- j
rigated corn.
“In counties where intensive
irrigation is practiced you’ll note
an increase in population and a
stimulation of all types of busi
ness activity.
“During the dry thirties when
Nebraska’s population decreased
14 percent, Scottsbluff county
showed an increase of 20 per
cent.”
Schrunk was graduated from
the University of Nebraska col
lege of agriculture, spent seven
years in soil conservation work
in south-central states, returned
to Lincoln for advance studies,
majoring in the field of agricul
tural engineering with emphasis
on soil and water conservation
He also taught at the college and
many of his former pupils were
among his audience at Friday's
meeting.
Planning Big Job
His present job is to train
dealers who are selling and ser
vicing irrigation equipment for
farmers, conducting training
classes, teaching techniques on
getting soil data.
“Preliminary information is a
big job for any installation,” he
told his audience. “Soil data us
ually is gotten from the soil con
servation people, intake rate of
soil must be determined, also
how much water the soil will
hold, increment of debt, what
crops arc adapted to the son on
a particular farm, and how much
water a particular crop will re
quire.
• Next comes the technical prob
lem of determining friction less, j
economic pumping costs, how to
distribute water uniformly so
crops at far end of the lateral
lines got the same amount of
water as at the upper end.
“There are no shortcuts in
designing a good Installation,” he
told his listeners. It takes a lot
of planning, hard work and
sweat.
“When I was a kid. I can
well remember the many times
1 went to the corn field to har
vest the crop and didn’t know
whether I should take a shuck
ing hook or a shovel.
“Today, in my old neighbor
homi. there are yields off one
acre that rival 18 or 20 acres in
my growing up days.
“Irrigation is one of the most
important new frontiers in Holt
county and in Nebraska. Irriga
tion, if properly done, is no
panaces for farmers’ ills, but it
gives him an opportunity to con
trol one of those variables that
has plagued him down through
the years. I refer to soil mois
ture.”
Ora Yarges of Stuart and Mrs.
Floyd Butterfield were reelected
