THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



177 



F 



1600 Gallons of Water a Minute 



from a 90 ft. Well in the Texas Panhandle 



Mr. W. D. McMillan, of Lubbock, 

 Texas, is one of the men in the Texas 

 Panhandle who has learned that it 

 pays to irrigate. 



Mr. McMillan owns several sec- 

 tions of land, and raises registered 

 Hereford cattle and Duroc Jersey 

 hogs. 



His irrigation well is only 90 feet 

 deep and equipped with a 24 inch 

 type N "American" deep well turbine 

 centrifugal pump, belt driven by an 

 oil engine. 



The pumping installation is shown 

 in accompanying illustrations, and 

 maintains a delivery of 1600 gallons 

 per minute. 



This pump has been in operation 

 over two years without the expen- 

 diture of a single cent for repairs. 

 Previous to this installation, two 

 other makes of pumps were tried in 

 this well and failed to meet the con- 

 ditions. 



"American" irrigation pumps are 

 built for persons who appreciate the 

 quality in a pump that endures. 



Catalog 132 describes these pumps. Bulletin 

 141 describes methods of sinking irrigation 

 wells in the Great Plains. Write for them.
