Full title:An irrigation lateral near Hereford, Texas. The field shown is now in alfalfa. Irrigation water comes from wells ranging in depth from 50 to 200 feet. An unlimited supply of water seems assured. Electric-powered and Butane-powered pumps in this area usually have capacities of 1000 to 1500 gallons of water per minute. 50,000 acres of land in the county are now irrigated by this method with no measurable effect on the water level. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Hereford, Texas.
