Irrigation Needed to Insure Against Occasional Drouth
High Food Values Demand of Farmer Regularity and Continued Production
"Because of the fact that irrigation in Kansas serves principally the purpose of crop insurance, the pumping system must be complete and ready for use at all time," said George S. Knapp, state irrigation commissioner, who addressed the student branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
"A temporary pumping plant, because it is frequently out of order or may need to be reassembled when a water supply failure more satisfactory than would an insurance policy which has to be renewed after the house starts to burst."
The economic basis on which our irrigation development is founded, is quite different from that of the reclamation projects of the west. In the east, the land is valleys without water, and the value of irrigated land lies in the water. In the near humid region in the south, it is a dry land. The land is already in well-improved farms, and land values are high. Around our larger cities, in the river valley, values are so high that farmers must produce a "regularly."
In concluding his address Mr. Kinpo stated that the hazard of the occasional drought must be eliminated if possible, and it is as a crop insurance in these valleys that irrigation assumes a place of importance in the state's agriculture. It is not to develop high-priced irrigation on cheap land; instead, it is better to develop cheap irrigation—crop insurance on high-priced lands.
Following Mr. Krapp's address, a film showing the manufacturing process through which an automobile must pass before it is ready for the meeting. At the close of the meeting, refectees were served to the members present.

Work on Foundation of New Union Building Progressing Rapidly
Brick and Stone Construction on Rear of Structure Begun Recently
"We expect to have the walls of the structure up to the first basewall laid by the end of another month," said Contractor Gordon Walker recently when interviewed regarding the construction of the new Union building.
Mr. Walker stated that the work of laying the brick and stone has already begun on the west end, and that he expected the work to progress as rapidly as possible. He asked the group to help the work of sinking the foundation piers has already been completed for some time, and the forms for the floor columns have already been set. These piers were set into the ground to a depth of 6 feet, and in all care to a solid footing.
The tops of the foundation piers have been capped with iron dowels which will fit into the concrete floor columns and prevent then, from slipping. The tops of the foundation piers are structuring the concrete joist forms has been completed, and, as soon as the walls have been laid, the floor joints will be pooled. These joint forms, 315 altogether, are built of lumber all to be cut and pre-drilled into the inches in length, 24 inches in width, and 12 inches in depth. These will be fitted to the top of the floor columns, filled with concrete, and as soon as the concrete has set will be removed. However, according to Mr. Walker, it will have progressed to that point. Many are under the impression that the work being done at the present time is on the basement but such is not the case, according to Mr. Walker. The tops of the floor columns and not upon the ground. Mr. Walker refers to the ground floor as the sub-basement, and the basement proper as the first basement. The level of the sub-basement is 25 feet below the level if the first basement will be 15 feet below the street level.

This giant hydroelectric and turbine 750 tons and consists of a vertical shaft hydraulic turbine attached to an electric generator delivering $2,000 kWatt.
Bigger Generators Cheaper Electricity
A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electric unit recently installed at Nigara Fail uses the same amount of water as seven former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the nation.
As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger and more economical generators are installed. At the power plant, as well as at the consumer's end, important changes and startling developments have steadily reduced the cost of electricity for light, power, and heat.
And wherever electricity has blazed its trail—in towns, cities, industrial centers, and rural communities—comfort and progress have come to stay.
Generating and distributing electricity concern the technical student. But electricity's application in the betterment of industry, the professions, and home life concerns every educated person. Cheap electricity means many startling achievements today, but countless and unbelievable possibilities tomorrow.
