Farmer turns lake into irrigation asset in Lubbock County
E. J. King, NE of Idalou, builds a lake driven irrigation system to supplement wells. The project captures runoff from a 480 acre watershed, runs 320 acres of crops, and uses a permanent underground pipe to deliver water to four wells. The setup cost is about 2000 dollars and aims to conserve water while boosting yields. King credits fertilizer carryover and manure nutrients in runoff as added benefits. Officials see it as a long term water conservation investment.

Texas Tech researchers led by Asst. Prof. Ed Jarman tested eighteen milk samples from lean cows. Rapid cooling to 38 F in three minutes lowered free fatty acid in two hours, with all quickly cooled samples showing less rancidity after 12 hours. Additional tests froze samples to 10 F, aging them before warming.
