Appropriately named The Hydro-Gun" because
of the manner in which it "shoots" water.
This phenomi al pump is making it possible
to irrigate by pumping with greater profit than by
any other method. This is because of its extreme
high efficiency and its economy in operation.
There are no valves, no stuffing box and, since
the pump is always submerged in water, no prim
ing is necessary. Thus, all the annoyances ex
perienced in the use of other pumps has been elim
inated. Its light weight and compact construction makes
it easily installed or moved fro mplace to place

The name principles of tillage,
in preparation of land tor crops and
aubsequent cultivation, which have
proven so successful in raisins
grain crops on Western semi-ari I
lands without irrigation, arc prov
ins successful for crops raised un
der irrigation and for orchards at !
vineyards, according to Hardy W
Camphell, Farm Adviser for the
Southern Pacific Company. Cau
bell has inspected this srasi n i
numbed of new orchards and vine
yards in California, Oregon Ne
vada, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Campbell is the man who evolved
what is now called tie "Campbell
System of Dry Farming." Camp
bell, however, objects to the word
"dry" and insists that ;he prim i
pics used in his present plan apply
to all kinds of farming, with "r
without i igatlon, as well as under
a much lower rainfall th in even
now Is commonly conceded neces
sary for successful crops. Camp
bell emphasizes the import me? of
proper preparation of the Sfced-bed
and sufficient intelligent cultivation
afterwards.
Camphell arranged to address the
Nebraska Hauliers Association at
Omaha, September 22 on the sub
ject of "Soil Fertility by Utility
of Soil Water." and to discuss the
same subject before the Minnesota
Bankers' Association at Minneapo
lis. On, his return from these con
ventions he will stop at Yuma.
Arizona, to investigate condition:!
there.
Interesting evidence of the direct
effect of properly prepared land
was recently received by Campbell
from a Metropolis, Nevada, gratn
field prepared under his direction,
In the form of three stools of wheal.
One stool had SI stalks, one 103 ai d
one 121), each the resi.lt of one grain
of wheat drilled in well prepared
Fn'i that was liberally supplied with
fertility through well planned and
timely work This crop was HtlSi 0
Without irri'-'aUon, but was pr
pared for by summer tillage In 1:1:1
and grown this year.
More evidence of what cultiva
tion of a growing crop means wfis
sent to Campbell by A. II. s'ii ild
of Delano, Kern Count"', California,
In four head-, of wheat from a
stool grown on Shield ; ranch. This
Btool had ample space and wai
cultivated whil,' growing, no fertil
izers or Irrigation h ung used. The
stool contained forty-fear head!
averaging 7S gnvns each or rdlghtly
over .lion grains from one stool.
Such results, says Campbell, sim
ply mean that under certain phys
ical conditions brought about by
the right kind or tilla e at l a
proper time, very much more graip,
fruit or vegetables may he grown
per acre than la commonly oV
t.'ilned. The c.iuil query is "Do 1 t
pay?" to which Campbell replies
very emphatically in the affirma-
tlve.
Campbell recently inspected a
number of new orchards and vine
yards in the southern and central
portions of California to study meth
ods and principles commonly prac
ticed in preparing the land and
the af'er care in irrigation and
cultivation. One of these inspec
tions was of a 4000 acre peach
on-hard Of. one, two and three
old trees belonging to the '"ali
foraia Packing Corporation and lo
cated east of Merced, Calif. What
Campbell raw here in cdtmocftioa
with his general observations
shows C at the real advantage of
careful preparation of the .-oil he
fore -tting i some; mes, but not
generally fully considered and
appreciated.
"it is ery important to first
prepare the surface by leveling,"
says Campbell. "Then arrange for
irrigating In such a raa met 'hat
water may not only !; evenly ap
plied over the Whole surface but
In as short a time as possible. In
other words establish an even sur
face with reason ly short laterals.
Too much water in the sail beneath
some ireos or too little for others is
detrimental, usuallv. Again, the low
er places, especially In heavy soils,
gather more water, keeping the
surface wot longer and frequently
delaying timely cultivation, and not
Inlrequently causing the hi jher
spots to lose mittih of its already
shor' supply. ' When the trees or
vines reach th - boaiing period, the
profit is Increased or decreased in
both quantity and quality of the
crop Both of these re, tits are
governed by the amount of fertil
ity resulting from Coil condition in
which the er cent of moist me end
air carried therein, specially dur
ing the w rmor weather, is a big
factor. The ability tl supply this
desired moisture in proper quanti
ties the entire season thronvh each
year, is the first con hh ation.
"The next question 's the perfect
root bed. This should he supplied
liberally with available plan! foud
evenly distributed, so that when
the trees or vines are set. there is
a condition so favorable that not
only the veaker rets may q !.
take root and grow vigoro fly. In
stead of withering and dying, but
a healthy, uniform growth may be
obtained the first yeur, which
rie;niR much to the early and an
nual fruitage of the trees or vines.
"To nch' ve this result, litter lev
eling, the DeU should be cultivated
practically an entire Reason before
setting to trees or vinos, with only
sufficient Irrigation to assist in
establis Ing the ideal root bed
which should he both fine ami fair
ly firm from the very start. T! r
oii; t is to continually carry the
proper quantity of both air and
water through the horded part of
the season. Under this condition,
with the high percentage of moist
ure held at the top of the firm "oil.
through careful and timely cultiva
tion, there will be a libera! di clop
meat and ,- rowtli of that, most de
sirable soil bacter a. This i
dare Increases the much v. i
plant food morn evenly In all pa.,
of the field, before sett1' than
can possibly be develop r
setting. This gives an adv.-... .r.e
not otherwise ohia p '.
"Much can be said itlon
and cultivation after a.: .. but
to be brief, care shouh" be taken
not to over-irrigate, for to obtain
the best results, the ' soil in and
Bbotll the root kOne must, b moi-t
hut not wet. When the soil Is Sat
ur.Ced there Is practically no
healthy growth. As rule cultlVa
Hoi) Is not only Insufficiently fre
Quest but too nit, mi i sr, untimely
as to he of little value.
"There ure certain conditions of
moisture in the soil following Irrl
gat ion, the same as following a
rain, when the high value of , i
vatiou to the final crop is .-orv
much greater. These Conditions
must be considered. Nothing cau
prOve this more convincingly than
the soil auger.
"It is very desirable, so far as
possible, to not on'y carry the high
percentage Of moisture at the top of
the firm soil, immediately below
the mulch, but also lo induce frei
access of air throughout the entire
growing tea ion The ideal condi
tion to furnish this . ir is to cover
the tVm soil with u grauul.ir mulch,
neither too fine nor too coarse. To
DbtaU this; ideal mulch, the culti vation
must be tone when the soil
is moist nQt wet or dry. The
loosened soil soon dries, leaving
the tYrm Soil moist to the top. Tills
IK u H ally easy to obtain in sandy
soils, but to do this property in
heavy sods it is Sometimes neces
sary to go over the field a second
time, after first going over j ut
enough to loos n the top when tho
surface is simply dry enough not
to stick. Tills prevents the crust
ing dr drying out. Then the second
operation should oome one to four
days later, after the free water has
gone down, leaving the soil moist,
when it more readily Separates,
and makes a liner and much .mere
effective mulch. This procedure
means nUCh to the tree, as a
li her pfecentage of moisture Is
held in the root zone and a crust
ing and i loddy mulch is prevented,
"The high value of this plan of
preparation ami one, seasonal culti
vation hi fore tho setting of the
trees or vines. Is b rne out by the
interesting res tits obtained from
careful summer tilling for wheat,
oats anil barley, ami the praotse
