Myers, H. C.

-Mr. Myers lives in the Higley district.

-To take care of the rabbit problems with attacking the cotton crops, Mr. Myers has plowed a stretch of land between the desert and his cotton.  That way when the rabbits are seen coming they can be shot at by Mr. Myers or a worker from the house with a shotgun.  Very little damage has been done to his crop.  (Chandler Arizonan 7/11/1913)

-Mr. Myers, who lives eight miles southeast of Chandler, is going to lay a cement pipe to water his farm.  He has installed a fifty horse power pump, and will shortly install a twenty inch cement pipe to be three quarters long to run from the mouth of his well to the highest point of his land where gravity will take the water across his land.  He says there will a lot less waste like a dirt ditch would have.

It will cost him about $2,000, but thinks he will be repaid in the end.  He pumps enough water to irrigate 300 acres, and with the pipe line will have enough velocity to handle the entire ranch.

He plans to plant 200 acres of grain this fall, and has about 20 acres in cotton now.  (Chandler Arizonan 8/1/1913)
