prevents 6re acres Qt fruit being raised
WAKE UP.

TIE REPUBLICAN wishes it could tax e each and every man in the Salt River Valley by the shoulder, and gently or vigorously, as the circumstances should require, shake each and every one into sense and realization of the necessity for action. With the finest fruit coun- try under the sun, how much fruit are youraising and how are you cultivating what you do raise? The exceptions are 30 rare that they do not affect the gen- eral statement that you cultivate bv 1Cdter pOcer. We know that Messrs. Samuel and William Bartlett, Mir. Crow and Mir. Adams, and probably one or two others, stand out as shining exam ples against lgater pOWsr cultivation, so, too, their results stand out against the general results. As to those who raise alfalfa they not only do themselves in- justice, but they stand in the way of five acres of fruit. We have been informed that it is very conservative estimate to say that one acre of alfalfa takes as much water as five acres of matured fruit. Fifteen dollars is high estimate for the yield of an acre of alfalfa for one year. The raising of each acre of alfalfa pre- vents the raising of five acres of fruits.
 A conservative estimate of the value per acre of figs or raisin grapes for one year is S200. This being true, and we can show statistics to any extent as to the value of the fruit crop, and you know that you do not average sl5 per acre on your alfalfa. This being true, then you are realizing sl5 where you should realize 5000.
 If a man should go around the streets exchanging 5000 bills for sl5 each, his friends would soon have him in the in- sane asylum. Now neighbors, that is just what you are doing, and the sooner you change the better it will be for you.
 You are not only changing s10O bills for sl5, but you are also standing in the way of others. Your acre of alfalfa prevents four acres of fruit that some one else would raise. You need not try tQ put all your land in fruit at once, but make a beginning of few acres at time.
 The Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles investigated and proved to their satisfaction the following yield from fye-acre tract of land:
 Twenty-Five hundred boxes Of oranges, l5OO boxes of lemons, S7,OOO pounds of grapes, 200 pounds of peas, 5000 pounds of apples, l5OOO pounds of berries, black and red, 1000 pounds of English walnuts; besides nectarineS, apricots, | piums, three crops of potatoes, 800 pounds oi crab apples, one acre of alfalfa kept for cows, and flowers of different varieties. These oranges were worth on the trees $500; the lemons were worth 5000 the grapes ss7O; pears, | ssO; apples, t75; berries, sSO; walnuts, ssO The total Is FSs5, and all the products not counted |
 This was not accomplished by water power cultivation, but it can be more than equaled in the Salt River Valley by the same care and attention that was applied to it near Los Angeles.

said to her on departing, "Now, Sarah,
