Coat of Water to IrrigAtort Supplied Excluaivaly by Farm Pumpmo Plants. 

 KawcaH Delta, and Tula River- Daar Creak Araaa, Exceptino Foothill 

 Citrus Belt. 



The cost of irri(?ation water supplip<l exrlusivcly by farm pumping 

 plants serving ten farms in Kawoah Drita Area and seven in the Tiile 

 Itiver-Deer Creek area is shown in Tables 5') and r)G. It will be notice<l 

 that costs on the seven farms in the Tule Kiver-Deer Creek area vary 

 iH'twten $t) an<l $12.40 an acre, wliile those in the Kaweah Delta area 

 ranj:e from $0.60 to $23.60 an acre. 



This ditTerenee between the ranjje in costs m the two ^roui)s cjin not 

 Ih' taken as an indication that the usual cost of water supplied by farm 

 pumpinp i)lants in the Tule Kiver-Deer Creek area is less than the 

 usual cost in the Kaweah Delta area, because it is obvious the number of 

 pumping plants included in each proup is a small part of the total 

 number in operation. However, as examples of the co.st of water to 

 certain irrigators, tlie reportetl costs fulfill the purpose for which they 

 were obtained. 



Cost of Pumping With Deep-well Turbines.

 farm pumping plants was obtained for a small number of farms, forty- 

 four to be exact, of the thou.sands using such plants in Tulare. Kings, 

 and Kern counties. In selecting these samples an attempt was made 

 to include representative farms in each of the above counties. How-
