FAINTU PUHTIHQ CO., DB LAND, nju %■ THE CAMPBELL AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SPRINKLER (The Key to the Money Chest of Soil Tilling) Modern Irrigation To the uninitiated the title to this booklet may be some- what misleading, for irrigation is not modern. Quite as far back as history reaches we have records of the application of water by means other than those pro- vided by nature for the preservation and proper develop- ment of vegetation. It is strange to relate, however, in view of the almost miraculous inventions and improvements in almost every other line of human endeavor, that there has been up to the time of the introduction of the system de- scribed herein, almost no improvement in the actual meth- ods of distribution over those used by the Egyptians 4,000 years before the Christian era. It is true, of course, that the invention and perfection of the combustion engine and the many improvements made in electrical machinery, together with the vast improvement of old and the development of new types of pumping ma- chinery, have greatly improved upon the methods of han- dling water for irrigation purposes, but as before stated, the crude, antiquated, inefficient and wasteful ditch, furrow, check and flooding systems have up to the present prevailed, and will continue to do so until the merits of the one modern system as described herein have become more generally known. With nearly all the old systems the application of water has been made on the surface of the ground, practically the only exception being the sub-irrigation or tile system where the water is carried beneath the surface. Neither of these systems conform with nature's method, where the applica- tion is made in the form of rainfall, but give a very uneven MODERN IRRIGATION distribution, are very wasteful, and with the tile system the water level is raised to an unnatural height, thereby causing the soil to sour, and bring on other very undesirable condi- tions. With the modern sprinkling system not only is every inch of the surface uniformly covered, every surface root nourished, all fertilizing elements preserved . and made available, but the foliage is refreshed and the dust removed from the leaves, which are the lungs of the plant. While practically all authorities agree as to the many advantages that the sprinkling system of irrigation has over any of the old methods, they all realize and admit that the many devices that have heretofore been used in the attempt to apply water in this natural method have not only been unsuccessful, but the cost has been beyond the means of the average grower. Among these sprinklers have been revolv- ing ones galore, all of which have been absolute failures on account of.the small area covered, the great cost of installa- tion, inequality of distribution and short life. Another sys- tem which has been used quite extensively, but only on account of nothing better being available, is the overhead perforated pipe system, the principal objections to which are the posts, which if of wood only last two or three years, and if of metal are very expensive to install, besides being very much in the way of cultivation, the constant turning of pipe required, the small amount of water distributed, the excessive loss by evaporation, the inequality of distribution and the stopping of tubes. This last being one of the prin- cipal objections, as the smallest particle of pipe scale or other sediment will obstruct the very minute water passages. For many years previous to the invention of the sprinkler that has made the system hereinafter described possible, the writer has been identified with the construction of ir- rigation systems and hydraulic installations, and like all others having an acquaintance with the subject, had long MODERN IRRIGATION realized the shortcomings of all systems in use. As far back as spring of 1910, in an article read before The Florida State Horticultural Society he called attention to the urgent need and wonderful possibilities of a sprinkling device that would give a uniform distribution over a large area, thus bringing the cost of a system of this kind, where the entire surface could be covered simultaneously, within the means of the average horticulturist. It was not, however, until the spring of 191 2, after trying out another make of sprink^ lers, which had the promise of filling this long needed requirement, and finding it to be a failure when put in actual service on irrigation work, that the sprinkler herein described was invented and put on the market. This brings us to a point where we will describe this machine that has solved the "irrigation problem.' » THE CAMPBELL AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SPRINKLER This little machine, when in the standard size weighs only about 6 ounces, and is tapped to screw on a ^-inch pipe, is constructed entirely of high-grade brass with ex- ception of the ball bearings which are of bell-metal and the ball races which are of Tobin bronze, and which are readily removable for replacement should they wear after long use. The entire machine is made with as much care and nicety of construction as a watch. As will be seen from illustration, the machine has two discharge tubes, the water being forced under pressure di- rect from a power pump, or from an elevated tank or stand pipe, up through the sprinkler and out through the main tube, which is entirely unobstructed and graduated on the order of a fire nozzle, and then is projected to a great distance. The machine being revolved by the reaction of MODERN IRRIGATION the atmosphere against the stream emerging from the small or driving tube, breaks up and evenly distributes the water at a considerable distance from the stand pipe, moreover the discharge from the smaller or driving tube is broken up in the same manner, except in finer drops, and fills the space directly around the stand pipe. The discharge from this smaller tube alone covers a larger area than is covered by most other revolving sprinklers, all of which are limited in their covering capacity on account of the stream being broken up at point of discharge. When properly regulated and operated, the Campbell Automatic Irrigation Sprinkler will cover a circle 50 to 60 feet in diameter, which is more than four times the area covered by any other practical sprinkler. Method of Installation When this sprinkler is used for irrigation for vegetables or other large out-door tracts, except on orchards, a large main pipe is laid through the center of tract to be irrigated, and diverging from this main on both sides, and if necessary as far as 44 feet apart are laid lateral pipes. The sprinklers on ^-inch galvanized stand pipes, preferably 7 to 8 feet high, are then placed 50 feet apart on these lateral pipes. These stand pipes are not located so as to be square with each other on the lateral pipes but staggered as shown on installation plan. Then the circles will fill in, and this ar- rangement places each stand pipe exactly 50 feet from all others, thereby enabling all the surface to be covered. Stop cocks or gate valves are placed at intersection of each lateral with main pipe so that as many of the lateral lines can be turned on at one time as the pump or pipe system will sup- ply. Lateral pipes are either 54-inch or i-inch at the ex- treme end and gradually increased in size toward the main pipe in such proportions as will give a uniform pressure on MODERN IRRIGATION all stand pipes. Size of main pipe depends entirely on acreage to be converted simultaneously, it requiring ap- proximately the equivalent capacity of a 3-inch main pipe for each two acres covered at one time. When used for orchard irrigation where trees are planted 20 to 25 feet apart, the lateral lines are laid along every second row of trees with stand pipes at each second tree and preferably running up through and discharging over their tops. This arrangement requires the use of one stand pipe for every four trees. For greenhouse use the sprinklers are placed 30 to 40 feet apart on a distributing pipe suspended about 8 feet high lengthwise the building, and are operated in an in- verted position while a valve placed on the supply pipe enables the entire line to be turned off or on as desired. For greenhouse use a special discharge tube is supplied, which breaks the water into extremely fine drops, or spray as desired. Water Supply With the Campbell Automatic Irrigation Sprinkler a supply of 100 to 150 gallons of water per minute is required for each acre to which the application is made simulta- neously. In order to get satisfactory results it is necessary that water be delivered under sufficient pressure to over^ come all natural elevation, pipe friction, etc., and be de- livered to the stand pipe supplying sprinkler, at a pressure of not less than 20 to 25 pounds. When the tract to be irri- gated is situated near an already established water works system where delivery can be made in proper quantities and at sufficient pressure, the supply can be obtained from this source, but if a natural lake, stream or well with sufficient supply and at a vertical distance of not over 20 ft. below level on which pump can be installed is available, it is al- MODERN IRRIGATION ways preferable to install your own plant, as we do not know of a municipality, individual or corporation that will supply water as cheaply as it can be delivered by the instal- lation of a modern, oil-operated pumping plant. If pipes of sufficient size are used water can be forced any distance horizontally, or where necessary to an elevation of several hundred feet above the supply. For instance, if the acreage, crops, etc., warrant the expense, the pumping plant can be placed at a river, lake or stream, and water forced through a large main pipe to irrigate a hillside several miles distant, and at an elevation of several hundred feet above supply. Where the water supply is obtained from deep wells where the pump cannot be placed within 20 to 25 feet of permanent water level, it is usually advis- able to construct a flat reservoir to be filled with a deep well pump or an air lift, and the regular pump used for distributing through pipe system in the tract to be irrigated. Amount Water Necessary. The amount of water necessary for securing best re- sults depends entirely upon the crop to be grown, charr acter of soil, etc. For vegetables or other small crops where application is made frequently; 1-4 inch or about 7,000 gallons per acre is usually considered adequate, but on very thirsty soils it may be necessary to apply as much as 1-2 inch at each application. On crops of this kind appli- cations should be made as often as is necessary to keep the plants in a vigorous condition, as any check in growth is very disastrous. For fruit trees it is usually advisable to apply as much as i inch or about 27,000 gallons per acre at each application, and not water as frequently as is necessary for small crops, once a week or every ten days being as often as it necessary. MODERN IRRIGATION Capacity of Sprinklers. The regular ^-inch Campbell Automatic Irrigation Sprinkler is supplied with either 5-32-inch or 3-16-inch discharge tubes. The 5-32-inch has a capacity of 4 to 6 gal- lons per minute, and the 3-16-inch, 6 to 8 gallons per minute, according to water pressure. On ordinary installations it is a safe rule to estimate on an application of 1 10 gallons per minute per acre with the 5-32-inch, and 150 gallons with the 3-16-inch. It is usually preferable to use sprinklers with 3-16-inch tubes, although this size requires larger pipe and for this reason is more expensive to install than where the 5-32-inch tube is used. For very large lawns, public parks, cemeteries, etc., the Campbell Automatic Irrigation Sprinkler is supplied in a yery large size, usually with 7-16-inch discharge tube having a capacity of about 25 gallons per minute. The use of this size, however, is not recommended for general irri- gation purposes on account of the large and expensive pipe system necessary. Capacity Pumping Outfit. In selecting a pumping outfit for vegetables or other small crops it is usually advisable to get one that will be capable of supplying as much as 1-2-inch to the entire acre- age as often as once every two or three days. On this basis, and as an illustration, an outfit that would deliver 220 gal- lons per minute through the 5-32-inch tubes would apply i-2-inch on two acres in a run of two hours, and would in two days of ten hours each make the 1-2-inch application on 20 acres. MODERN IRRIGATION Types of Pumpy. On large acreages where total head, including distance from water level to highest point to be irrigated, friction in pipe system, and the necessary head for operating sprink- lers (40 to 50 ft.) does not exceed 100 feet, the improved type of Single Stage Centrifugal Pumps can be used. On heads up to 200 ft., we recommend two-stage Centrifugal Pumps, and on heads above 200 ft, three or four-stage Cen- trifugal or high-pressure Triplex Pumps. As small Cen- trifugal Pumps show a low efficiency. Double- Acting Piston Pumps are usually preferable on small plants of less than three or four acres. Power For Operating. Except in rare instances where electric current for operating motors, can be obtained at a very low rate, and on very large plants where proper fuels for operating Pro- ducer Gas Engines can be secured at low prices, we rec- ommend and supply combustion engines operated on ker- osene, distillate or other similar petroleum products. The engine we supply is manufactured especially for us and is not equalled for simplicity, durability or economy. Amount Power Required. If the water supply is within easy suction distance of pump, say 15 ft, and not over 45 feet below highest point to be irrigated, it requires 4 to 5 h. p. to operate all the sprinklers on an acre simultaneously. This calculation is based on 5-32-inch discharge tubes being used and on the water supply being in or very near to tract irrigated. If the 3-16-inch tubes are used it will require about 6 h. p. to each acre, but much less time in which to make the applica- 10 MODERN IRRIGATION tioffl. If the water supply is situated at considerable dis- tance from tract to be irrigated or if pip^ system is not prop- erly designed, it will take additional power to overcome pipe friction. To bring out the amount of power required more clear- ly, it can be said that under favorable conditions as de- scribed it is a safe rule to estimate on i h. p. being re- quired for each acre on which it is desired to make a 1-2- inch application in a total run of 10 hours; for instance, a 10 h. p. engine would be required for the 1-2-inch appli- cation on 10 acres in 10 hours, by operating on each two acres for two hours. Cost of Installation. Cost of installing the Campbell Automatic Sprinkling System of Irrigation depend^ fentirely on location, acreage, etc., and ranges from about ^125.00 per acre for all the necessary pipe, fittings, valves, sprinklers, etc., on large acreages and in favored sections where freight rates are low, to $200.00 per acre on very small tracts of one or two acres where pipe is bought in small lots at local prices and where freight rates on material are high. The estimate does not include pumping outfit or any pipe necessary to convey water from pumping plant to tract covered by irrigation. The Campbell Automatic Sprinkling System of Irrigation Enables You : — To plant the finest seeds or the tenderest plants at the proper time without having to wait for a "shower" — saves seed, plants and labor, and insures a perfect stand. To use an intensive system of cultivation so that you can produce as much on one acre as can possibly be produced without it on ten acres — saves land and saves labor. Why 11 MODERN IRRIGATION cultivate ten acres when you can get a heavier return from one acre with this system? To apply all the fertilizing elements that your crops will assimilate without danger of burning plants or loss of costly ingredients — every ounce that can possibly be taken up by the plant, is made available. To bring your crop to an early and perfect development when it will bring maximum prices, with no loss from "culls" or inferior stock. To cultivate your lands with the same assurance of suc- cess that you can secure in any other business, and to do away with the necessity of gambling with fate, in which game hor- ticulturalists have lost untold billions. When we speak of the loss of billions we are entirely within bounds, as can be seen right here in Florida. Our orange groves and vegetable fields are admitted to be a gam- ble from year to year, and yet their yield might be made as certain, as that of the cotton mill. As things are at present, our fruit and vegetable growers are gamblers in futures on produce exchanges, when they might be cutting coupons from assured investments. In a very few years an orange grove or truck farm without a sprinkling system of irriga- tion will be considered as much behind the times as one is now that does not use fertilizers. What we have said in reference to fruit growing and trucking applies to staple crops, and especially to fodder crops, which can be grown with as much certainty as the appetites of the animals that consume them. One of our Customers advises that the kudzu liberally irrigated with our sprinklers, has yielded on his place at the rate of loo tons of green vine per acre, which would be equal to 30 tons of cured hay. At this rate anyone can see the immense possibilities of cattle raising on the sandy soils of the South where the kudzu and other legumes grow to perfection. 12 MODERN IRRIGATION We would also call attention to the well known fact that a crop of legumes like kudzu, velvet beans, cow peas ot clover, will attract from the atmosphere as much as $40.00 worth of nitrogen, per acre, in a single season. With our system of irrigation these crops can be grown with an ab- solute certainty, and the saving in fertilizing will pay the entire cost of the operation of the sprinklers. Then again, rain water has been found to contain as much as a pound of ammonia to a thousand gallons and this in the form which costs about 15 cents per pound, if applied as nitrate of soda. Water thrown through the air with our sprinklers collects practically the same amount of ammonia as the rain, which means that it is possible to supply the .crops on an acre of ground with $1.00 worth of ammonia every day with our system. We have no desire to put the Nitrate Trust of Chile out of business, but mention these facts to show horticulturalists how they can secure this most essential ingredient of their fertilizers at a nominal cost. Then again, as a protection from frost our system will often pay for the entire installation in a single season. Ar- tesian water comes from the well at 78 degrees and the river or lake water is about 70 degrees, so that in chilling to 32 degrees a great amount of heat is given out that acts with much more certainty than ordinary oil heaters. In this connection the reader is referred to facsimile letter of Mr. Otto R. Grosse, in this booklet. We invite the most rigid and practical investigation as to the correctness of our statements, and can show all inter- ested a model tract of land supplied with our sprinklers where plants are growing every month in the year. In addition to the testimonials shown, we can refer all interested to satisfied customers in nearly every state of the Union, and to various state agricultural institutions who are now installing demonstration plants for the use and instruc- tion of their students. 13 Points of Superiority The Campbell Automatic Irrigation Sprinkler is superior to and different from any sprinkler or device used for irrigation purposes, in every essential feature: It covers four times the area of any other practical machine, thus saving more than half the usual cost of pipe and fittings. It distributes the water eveiily over the entire surface covered and in the form of fine drops that do not wash the soil, and with practically no loss by evaporation. More than half the delivery is lost by evaporation with some sprinklers that break the water into a mist. It obviates waste of land. No distributing dit6hes, or posts to take up valuable space. Every inch of the surface irrigated can be planted. It obviates waste of water. No less by seepage or excess supply to low or sandy soils. Every drop is applied just where needed. It covers the entire surface irrigated simultaneously up to full capacity of sujp'ply, and in this way affords an absolute protection from frost. It has large' open discharge streams that are entirely unobstructed and cannot become clogged by sediment or pipe scale. A single grain of sand will put some sprinklers out of commission. It requires less than the pressure necessary on other sprinklers, thus making practical the use of inexpensive pumping machinery and reducing cost of operation to a minimum. On actual tests with kerosene as fuel at a cost of 10 cents per gallon, delivery has meen made on a tract situated 40 ft. above supply at a fuel expense of one cent per 1,000 gallons. It does not require the use of unsightly posts that require frequent renewals, hose or other expensive supplies and repairs. Once installed, it should give good service for a life time. It requires the minimum of labor expense. A boy can do all the necessary field work on 50 acres. From the famous Buckeye Nurseries Tampa, Tla., Oct. 10, 1913. For the past four or five years we have used exclusively at our nurseries at Winter Haven, Hagan Gas Engines, and they have given us satisfactory service in every way. The 50-h. p. engine which we are using at our irrigating plant at the nursery is most reliable and we can recommend it to anyone desiring reliable gas engines. In passing we might mention also the fact that the 25 acres at Winter Haven under irrigation was installed by you and we have obtained very satis- factory results from your system of irrigation. Of course at that time you had not perfected the Campbell Sprinkler and we have on at the lower plant the old style sprinkler. With the introduction, however, of the new sprinkler vou have of course revolutionized irrigation in Florida and it is our intention to install the new sprinkler and cut out just one-half of our pipe lines at the plant Yours very truly, Buckeye Nurseries, By D. C. Gillett. 14 PIPING PLAN Note that all stand pipes are exactly the same distance apart and that each is exactly in the center of six others.

THE NOVO GASOLINE ENGINE The Novo Engine is used on all our NP and NC outfits. After trying out practically all the vertical engines on the market We have adopted the Novo as the one engine of this type that we can recommend and stand back of the same as we do the Hagan horizontal. While sold at a lower price the Novo is a strictly high grade machine in every respect. They are built from 1-% to 10-HP. in the single cylinder, and the 12-HP. and 15-HP. in the double cylinder type. 18 M e 9ik.i.eT r Pitcit * o< acoiu-cir-c s»w.ft'niu> giS'SS^/ HOMC orrice y,c^eai'.
