1 of the 18 "American" Centrifugal Pumping Stations 



on lands of the United States Sugar and Land Co., Garden City, Kansas 



The supremacy of the "American" Centrifugal as 

 an irrigation pump is proved by the number of model 

 irrigation systems in which it is installed. 



In recent issues of the Irrigation Age have been 

 shown some of the largest irrigation pumping projects 

 in America which have been equipped exclusively with 

 "American" Centrifugals. 



We illustrate herewith one of the 18 "American" 

 pumping stations on the lands of the United States 

 Sugar and Land Co., Garden City, Kansas. 



Each pump is installed in a separate concrete 

 building, with concrete weir box, is rated as an 8-inch 

 pump, so installed with suction connections that it 

 pumps five wells and is designed to supply water to 

 320 acres. 



Over 5,000 acres are irrigated by the 18 pumping 

 stations, power being supplied from a central station 

 and transmitted electrically. 



In writing on the performance of these pumps, F. 

 A. Gillespie, general manager of the United States 

 Sugar & Land Co., says: 



"These pumps were operated during the irriga- 

 tion season of 1909, and during the irrigation sea- 

 son of 1910. 



"We have found these pumps to do all that were 

 claimed for them, and more, and have had abso- 

 lutely no trouble with them in any respect. 



"Our average total head is 28 feet, and we lift 

 with these pumps from 2,000 to 2,200 gallons per 

 minute, using a 30 H. P. motor. 



"We have successfully raised heavy crops by 

 means of the water used for irrigation lifted by 

 these pumps; these crops consisting of grains, al- 

 falfa, and sugar beets. 



"ll'c heartily recommend these pumps 



to any prospective 

 purchaser, and furth- 

 ermore will be glad 

 to answer any direct 

 inquiries in reference 

 to same." 



The fact that "American" Centrifugals have been selected 

 exclusively for the largest and best equipped irrigation pumping 

 projects in America and in these installations are more than 

 meeting the expectations of the engineers in charge is the best 

 possible evidence that they will prove most economical for you. 



The reason for the unequalled efficiency and economy of 

 "American" centrifugals is that the flow lines have been refined 

 to the easiest possible curves, without a swirl or eddy of water in 

 passing through the pumps and impellers and interior of casings 

 are machined true and adjusted to each other with precision, 

 reducing friction and preventing back flow. 



"American" centrifugals are made in over 50 styles, in any size, 

 in any number of stages and equipped with any power.

 of wells and the kind of pump for any location.
