Show USING ELECTRICITY FOR IRRIGIRP05E5 The Big Springs Electric Co. at Fountain Green has been experimenting experi-menting with electricity in pumping water from a well on the place of Warren Holman in the southern part of the city. A hole was made about 33feet deep and a little 5 horsepower motor is being used to pump out the water for irrigating purposes . A stream with a capasity of about 4 80 gallons per minute is being obtained. Mr. Holman informs us that it gives him about two-thirds of a regular reg-ular irrigating stream. The cost of making the well and installing the pumping plant was about $1,200. |
