Show SAYS PUMPS SHOULD BE USED FOR LAND 1 i S. A, Halterman of t-Payowan, the well-known well-drill operator, oper-ator, was in town last Friday on his way to Milford to discuss with the citv council of that place the matter of a city well, arrd while here took occasion to call at The Record office-and discuss dis-cuss the water situation in Cedar valley. Mr. Halterman stated, that Jn his opinion there is plenty of water in this valley to, irrigate almost every acre capable of cultivation. To do iq would require re-quire but the sjnking of wells and the installation of gasoline, electric , or power pumps. To illustrate his point he stated that pone time since h drilled a well on his farm in Parowan valley from which he secured a flow of 20 gallons per minute. Hopucrhaseda gasoline, pumping pump-ing plant at a cost of $900, by the use of which he is able to LI ' ' ' I I - . . . . . . , , . "I securo a "continual flow of 450 gallons from tH6 same well. This is art increases o more than" tweh'ty-two times the original fldw, and is sufficient to irrlgato 601 acres oil land. From the above it will be seen that at a cost pf $15 an acre ho was able to make land valued at $10 per acre, worth at least $200 per acre. He was emphatic in his belief that the same results could be secured by land owners in this valley. We should like to see the plan tried by some of our farmer. |
