Portable sprinkler irrigation in Gaines county boosts yields
Gaines county farmers adopt portable overhead sprinkler systems to irrigate cotton and vegetables. A demonstrator shows a 4 inch aluminum pipe setup weighing 16 pounds per 20 foot section, capable of delivering one inch of water per acre with less labor. Diffie’s 100 foot square tank and 40 HP Allis-Chalmers engine support daytime operation, cutting costs. The innovation spreads from Seminole area to Rio Grande valley, Florida, and beyond, offering rapid, even watering without ground leveling.

Oklahoma Indian Service Offices Reorganized Amid Cuts
Interior Secretary Krug announced a sweeping reorganization of U S Indian Service offices in Oklahoma after Congress cut appropriations by nearly 50 percent. A western Oklahoma consolidating agency will be based at Anadarko absorbing Pawnee Shawnee and Cheyenne Arapaho agencies, with Muskogee retaining a smaller staff and handling five civilized tribes. Miami Pawnee and Concho will also run skeleton crews, while Oklahoma City remains the district office focusing on legal and financial matters. Schools and hospitals funded by the service will stay unchanged.
