Your best protection against many costly diseases is timely vaccination.
Lederle'a low-cost, reliable and safe veterinary biologicals are recog
nized widely as setting the standard of quality for the Americas. By their
early use, diseases in which medicine, if available, is costly and fre
quently useless, may be avoided.
Among outstanding Lederle bacterins and vaccines are;
Blackleg-Hemorrhagic Septicemia Bacterin (Alum-Precipi
tated) B. H.* Bacterin Lederle for protection against both blackleg
and shipping fever.
Blackleg Bacterin {Alum-Precipitated) Lederle for protection
against uncomplicated blackleg.
Anthrax Spore Vaccine No. 3 (Carbozoo* ) Lederle for protec
tion against anthrax in cattle.
Hemorrhagic Septicemia Bacterin (Alum-Precipitated) Lederle
for protection against shipping fever.
Brucella Abortus Vaccine (Vacuum-Dried) Lederle to increase
resistance against brucellosis.
Lederle biological products for livestock are produced with the same
exacting care that is used in producing biological products for human
use. Safety, sterility and uniformity are emphasized. Each vaccine, bac
terin or antiserum is a quality product.

It's A Dream System
By JERRY LESTER
MOST FARMERS CAN consider
themselves lucky to have irrigation
water delivered to their farm in a
ditch, but Otto C. Hansen, Mineral
county, has watered delivered to his
fields in pipes at 70 pounds pressure
for immediate use in his sprinkler
system. And all this has been done
without pumps and no maintenance
I costs will plague him in the future.
This irrigators' dream system was
achieved on the Hansen farm by put
I ting a dam across a hillside creek
! and piping water down the moun
1 tain to his fields—water that other
wise sank into an underground chan
nel, skipping the farm land and
emptying itself into the river.
Hansen has always known about
the creek on the hillside above his
farm. He knew that it always has
had a plentiful supply of water. But
it mysteriously disappeared.
With the help of technicians of
the Mineral county soil conservation
district, he figured that if the water
could be caught before it sinks into

Here is a view of the Hansen revolving head sprinkler system at work in
his fields. Water is piped from a dam across a mountainside creek down to the

without pumping, ditches or maintenance costs of any kind.
the hillside, it could be piped down
to the farm. This possibility was
interesting enough in itself but even
more so. when the idea of using the
pressure developed by gravity for a
sprinkler system came to mind.
5.200 Foot of Pipe
•From a dam across the hillside
creek, water is taken through 5,200
feet of concrete pipe into a concrete
box at the crest of the steepest hill
as it drops to the farm land. This
box is 4 by 12 by 8 feet deep and
is made of 6-inch thick reinforced
concrete. From this box the water
drops 180 feet through 10-inch steel
pipe to another concrete drop box
and from there to the field where
the sprinkler system main line pipe
is connected.
