Show THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1951 Farmers Show "Rain Makers'' the Way How; Irrigation Does Trick By IRA MILLER Form Electrification Bureau Farmers get thristy nd so So their crops. The difference is that the farmer can quench his thirst easily eas-ily and quickly with glass of water. He doesn't have to depend on a whim f nature to solve this simple problem. prob-lem. Crops do. Dry seasons can ruin them, and the farmer as well. In years past, the job of "conjur- coupled easily. They ere designed for Irrigating all crops, pastures and orchards, and permit farmers to control con-trol their water requirements more carefully. Little definite operation cost date has been developed for Irrigation systems because of the many variables va-riables Involved. In most farming areas, however, only supplemental irrigation is necessary and here the IRRIGATION SYSTEM provides farmer with "controlled" rain. Ing up" needed showers often was placed in the questionable province of professional "rain makers." And many were the fingers that were crossed as weird incantations were loosed on parched fields. All that is over now. The farmer has become his own "rain maker," his "magic" beiig worked with an electric switch which starts water flowing through an irrigation system. sys-tem. If his land is fairly level, his water supply ample, and his power abundant, he may irrigats by flooding flood-ing or ditching. Such systems employ large pumping installations and, generally, are used in more arid sections sec-tions of the wester.) and southwestern southwest-ern states where crops require several sev-eral feet of water annually Farmers with less water to spare, lower water requirements, rolling land and a desire or need for using smaller pumpir? installations may use sprinkler systems. Such systems are of various types and may be either permanently installed or portable. port-able. The latter are composed of easily detachable sections, which are light enough to be moved and re- cost of electricity for operating a sprinkler system will average approximately ap-proximately $4 per acre per season. This figure will be higher in arid regions. Installation costs of such systems are higher than those for surface systems (flooding, ditching, etc.), provided that land does not have to be leveled. Operational and maintenance expenses of surface systems may be somewhat higher than other types depending, once more, on frequency of application and other factors; plus the heavy drain on water supplies. The type of irrigation system which will perform best for you is based on such data as the amount of water available, source of water, distance dis-tance from water source to field, elevation to the irrigated areas above the water source, number, of acres to be irrigated, frequency of irrigation, irri-gation, kind of crop and type of soil. All systems must be correctly engineered en-gineered and installed for maximum efficiency. Their use pays oil in higher yields per acre, provides "crop insurance" against drought and helps in maintaining mi.k production pro-duction at high levels by keeping summer pastures in good condition.
