23. After seeing the sights of the I
town, the party was taken by Mr.
Ward Malone to hfs irrigated fan* '
on the San Marcos river. Mr. Mai-
lone has a canal from the river to
his plantation, and by water power
he can pump 5060 gallons from
the canal per minute. He is able
to regulate the water supply simp
ly by the turn of a wheel. The
machinery consists principally of 3
turbine wheel and a pump, and the
construction is very permanent.
Mr. Malone practices both the
flooding and fnrrow system of ir
rigation. ; By the furrow system
water is run along each furrow,
while by (Jie flooding system a
tract of several rows is flooded
with water, y
Many acres of onions were seen
near San Marcos, all in good con
dition.
Mr. Malone has a field of alfalfa
which he intends to cut every
thirty days from now till frost
Tb< farm of Mr Will Green was
next visited. ' Mr. Green pumps
water from the r i,umpken Spring
by means of electricity. This
spring is large and inexsustible, so
that plenty of water is assured.
. From San Marcos, the party pro
ceeded to San Antqnio, where they
spent Saturday night and Sunday
morning. On Sunday they were
taken by Mr. S. A, Minear, A
