County Demonstrator O.H. Phillips is assisting Mr. E.R. Raney, of the State Extension farm engineering department, in the work of installing three hydraulic rams. The farmers taking advantage of this system of water supply are Messrs. C.A. and G.B. Shaver, of Route 2, and Mr. Jonah Almond, of the Bloomington vicinity.
From the front page of the Albemarle Press, Thursday, April 12, 1923. Hydraulic rams are still around. You can buy one from Amazon.com but you won't be able to get your county ag. agent and someone from NCSU Engineering to install it for you.
