the efficiency of. a given machine at
sea. level.
In Pomcna valley. California water
is pumped at a profit 45 to 110 feet
for alfalfa while the market price of
alfalfa is $9 per ton. Of course for
the citrus fruits .in the Pomona dis-
trict water is pumped 200 to 400 feet
successfully and with profit. In other
sections of California water is pumped
as high as 750 feet for Irrigation. The
whole history of pumping water for
irrigation since It used to be done
in Egypt with bucket pumps and oxen
for motive power has been a gradual
increase in the profitable lift due te
improvement In pumping machinery.
Sanborn Investigates Valley.
Kingsbury Sanborn one of the most
prominent engineers in California and
especially versed in the matter of
pumpiiur water investigated the Mim-
bres valley a short time ago. and par-
tial results of the investigation are
given In the following interview:
PHraplBK System Best.
"I think Deming has the most ele-
gant body of irrigable land surround-
ing it that I have ever run across in
my long experience In Irrigated sec-
tions. I have actually been unable to
find In all this great extent of -rallav
I any poor land. It is uniformly level.
ricn mjt in i-uiuvacion. ana is gen-
erally the finest body of land that I
tave ever seen. The water conditions
nere are eupero. the railroad facll
THBRB are iufi- factors bear-
ing upon the economic ac-
cessibility of the ground water
of a given district The depths at
which the water bearing strata are
encountered and the level to which the
water rises in the well determine
first the initial coat Of the well and
second the fixed charge for pumping
the water. The character of the for-
mation is also a zactor in aeienmning
the initial cost If. for example the
water bearing strata are encountered
at a depth of 800 to 1000 feet and the
character of the -formation is such
that drilling IS slow and difficult it
means that the initial cost of the irri-
gation wall will be great. If the wa-
ter ' encountered at this depth rises
to within 10 or 30 feet of .the surface
it means that the puTiping cost will
be low. Vice versa if suffiotent water
for Irrigation can be obtained at a
depth of 160 feet but the water rises
only to the 100-foot level it means a
low cost for the well and a compara-
tively high coat for pumping ma-
chinery as -well as expensive pumping.
The ideal condition is. of course water
at shallow depth and sufficient ar-
tesian pressure to bring (the water
near the surface. t

! ts in the
where alfalfa requires pr.r season IS
feet of water; there are other seetioas
where 1 inches is all the water that
can be profitably applied.
Again the texture of the soli is an
important element. Some soils do not
retain moisture as long as other soils
and must be irrigated oftener. In dis-
tricts where the soli and cllmatlo con-
ditions permit the growing of high
priced products water can be pumped
firofitably at much greater lifts than
n districts where . only low priced
crops can be grown.
In certain portions of California for
instance water Is pumped onto hill
sides 760- feet above the water level
at a profit; In certain portions of New
Mexico water is pumped at a tre-
mendous profit '75 to 100 feet for grow-
ing alfalfa and beans. Either of these
lifts Is prohibitive for growing Indian
corn cotton or other low priced
produce. The market here enters as
a factor In determining the limit of
profitable lttt.
Pumping water for the irrigation of
alfalfa which aelle at fS per ton Is a
different matter from pumping water
for growing alfalfa which sells at ;n
per ton. It is profitable to pump water
200 feet for garden truck where there
Is a nearby and high priced market
for such produce whereas a truck
grower would go Into bankruptcy
pumping water 106 feet for truck
hich commands a low price.
AltltBde a Fnctor.
A factor which occasionally enters
the problem of pumping water for Ir-
rigation where internal combustion
engines are used as .motive power is
the altitude. The internal combustion
enslnp Is rated by most manufacturers
vj-on tpst-a made at sea level. "Ehe lose
c fflclcr.'-v as the altitude increases
i-itll at an elevation of 4000 feet. the
i.ui chaser must deduct io percent from
upon the situation. I confidently pre
r diet that within five year there win
oe an increase in tne cultivated area
In the vicinity of Deming of at least
60000 acres. "What this will mean
to the growth of the town itself Is
obvious. I have traveled up and
and most perfect supply of water for
irrigation In the world. Ton have
here." continued Mr. Sanborn "about
'he same proposition that wc had In
Riverside. CaL. 15 years ago. Now
cultivated land is selling there tor
$300 per acre and raw land with no
prospect of water Is selling for $100
per acre."
Mr. Sanborn - expressed himself a
follows concerning the proper method
of installing wells in this valley:
"I think the California metuod' is
the proper one. The stovepipe cas-
ing Is forced down by jacks following
the drill and when the desired deptn
is reached the rasing contiguous to
water bearing gravel is perforated.
With this method. I consider it quite
likely that artesian water can be de-
veloped here and as certain that the
lift for pumping can be materially
reduced. It Is Important to reach &
lower strata than is reached by the
wells you have here at present as the
lower strata are more dependable and
their waters rise nearer the surface
thus reducing the pumping head."
Speaking of his own work In Cali-
fornia Mr. Sanborn gave the follow-
ing account of the restoration of- ar-
tesian flow in the San 'Bernardino ba-
sin: "After several years of drouth
the wells of this basin ceased to
flow. We bought several thousand
acres of lands along the river course
at the upper edge of the basin built

that I am thoroughly pleased with
every phase of the situation here."
Asked concerning the lift at which
water can be pumped profitably Mr.
Sanborn said:
"In California -we are pumping
water for oranges anywhere from
100 to 750 feet with profit. The
higher the orango groves are located
above the valleys the freer they arexi-P068"8-1' 'J mxaa to do in many vai-
fiom frost and the surer they are of
yearly yields. For alfalfa at $8 and
J9 per ton we easily pump water
with proflt 125 feet Tour water
lift In this valley is uniformly low
and hence a greater profit Is as-
sured." Asked concerning the head neces-
sary for successful Irrigation upon
soil such as that of the Mimbres val-
ley. Mr. Sanburn stated that 1000
gallons per minute Is ample for such
crops as alfalfa. A head of 400 gal-
lons per minute he considers suffi-
cient for the successful Irrigation of
orchards here.
Mr. Sanborn is enthusiastic for the
pumping system as against any other
system of irrigation. He says: "With
the pumping system there are no
ditches to be kept In repair no floods
to be contended wltji no foreign seed

Mr. Sanborn declared that the
