FORTY ACRE FARMS,

Those who look out upon the valley

effects Of storms and sunshine upon the
Landscapes seldom stop to measure the
possibilities Of the area stretched be-
fore them. The Prickly Pear valley
contains about 10000 aores Of cultivat a.
bic land most Of which is now wholly a
waste and only small portion utilized,
not to exceed say 6,00O acres and q
large percentage Of this is wild meadow.
perhaps so per cent, leaving only one
twentieth Of the valley producing grain
and vegetables. The principal reason for
this is the lack Of water but with the
supply as at present Eve times the
quantity now grown can be produced
with much smaller pay roll and with
better results rs to quality. At present
the farms average 16O acres each, the
average crops being about as follows:
Oats, twenty-five bushels; wheat, twenty
bushels; barley. twenty bushels; hay,
one ton. And farm hands to cultivate
and harvest such crops s35 per month.
Suppose these farms we're divided into
forty and sixty acre tracts, each com
plete with proper irrigation bitches,
fences and outhouses for stock such as
hogs, beef steers and chickens, and then
suppose we bring about the settlement
here OF tenants that will utilize the Ia.
Dor OF the whole family, employing no
journeymen and bringing to bear every
facility for securing the greatest net
results, is it not fair to assume that the

Take practical working farmer with

He will produce surplus which will

Mr.. THEODORE JUSTICE, of Philadel-

follows: "The prosperity of this coun-

the greatest in its history. Why should
we, therefore, repeal that law under
which the American nation has been
not only the most prosperous nation Of
the world, but during that time the
only prosperous nation Of the world"
Mr. Justice seems to have entirely over
looked the events Of the last few
months, with their startling record OF
disaster to merchants, manufacturers
and bankers. All these crashes hap
pened under the Mckinley law. AS
confidently predicted at tho time of it's
passage the unnatural stimulus given to
fostered interests by tho inequalities of
that law has wrought havoc to it's tenn
porary beneficiaries. and vastly agera-
waited the financial ills of the country.
