VSEN ELECTRICITY TO IRRIGATE IOO ACRE TRACT L. S. Kelsey, a prominent rancher residing four miles this side of North Powder, has Installed an electric mo. tor which furnishes power for pump ing water to Irrigate 100 acres of land, says the linker City Herald. Mr. Kelsey installed the motor and pump this spring and Is wonderfully sur prised at the small expense of tills method of securing water, for a very small amount of power Is required to do the work. A centrifugal pump was installed and it gives a flow of lOnn gallons a minute, lifting the water 60 feet through a 10-Inch pipe. The water is taken from a large irrigating ditch and is lifted onto higher land, where fine crops can be grown. So suc cessful has been the experiment that Mr. Kelsey has ordered sufficient pumps to Irrigate 1200 acres of land. The power line of the Eastern Ore gon .light & Power company, runs through the valley and Mr. Kelsey and several other ranchers have had electric lights put In their houses and many have installed motors to run the farm mnrnhinery. The ranchers are coming to realize the great value of electricity In lightening the labors of the farm and making country life enjoyable. Both Estrada and Madria are in the last ditch. At least we hope so. Later One man Injured; found some bonze.
