,^of my visit I would say that there was at least It* second feet . of water coming from the wall. Mr. (Jarett informed mo that he had kept this pump going contincusly for practically 18 months now, and that there has been no diminution in the water supply, Mr. Garott was irrigating 100 acres of alfalfa and 200 acres of barley at the time of my visit. from reports and investigations, I am led to believe that irrigation by pumping is just as feasible, and perhaps more ©uonomical, that by the gravity method. My judgement is therefore that in connection with the tract under discussion we can afford to give it at least our support, unless it should develop by further investigation that the supply of underground water is limited. From the report of Mr. Loomis and from my observations, I am led to believe that there is a large body of under ground water, ample for tho purpose suggested.
