The company, issuing fifty thous-

prospective Arizona settlers, has
laid down the inflexible rule that
/ the Desert Land Act of the federal
government shall be honestly and
rigidly followed in other words
such safeguards are thrown around
the issuance of water certificates
that speculators cannot secure any
substantial foothold on the public
domain over which the franchises
of the company run. Knowing
that the prosperity of the peopl' of
Arizona as well as well az the pros
perity Of the company IS conserved
by creating and building np msll
and productive holdings under it's
bitches, the company will in no
case vary from the rule of having
each certificate represent twenty
acres and no more. No person
will be allo wed to take out more
than eight certificates or more than
l60 acres in ALL Then, charging
two dollars and fifty cents per acre
as yearly water rental whether the
water is used or not it will be seen
that the company has devised
system whereby spectators are
pretty efectually barred, and
whereby the interests of the
laborers and wealth producers are
protected to the utmost. As a
matter of course, other new features
peculiar to this company, have
proved attractive to visitors and
intending settlers, and which can
only be touched upon briefly.
Having settled on most reason
able schedule of prices for water
a schedule that will appeal to the
reason and interest of the. poor in
purse, namely, $l2 for perpetual
water right, payable $5 at date of
entry and 81 in nine years, the
company has thrown around the
financial features of its plan such
arbitrary protection for settlers as
will absolutely prevent all specu-I
lation in the funds of the company
or wasteful diversion of the money
paid in for water certificates.
Subscribers for certificates are re-
quired to send their money ($l00
per certificate, twenty acres) dir
ectly to the Farmers Loan & Trust
Go. Of New York, of which COM
pany and at which place alone they
can be obtained. The high stand
ing and conservative character Of
the trust company is such that
subscribers for the certificates are
assured an immunity from all pos
sibility of loss, and from any pos
sibility whataver of the money so
subscribed being diverted to any
other purpose than legitimate de-
velopment. Those acquainted with
the policy and methods of the Far
mers' Loan and Trust company
know that it does not undertake a
trust of the grave character and
weighty responsibility carried in
this instance until the most ex-
haustive and satisfactory investi-
CATION has been made as to the
solvency, responsibility, and legiti-
macy of the corporation applying
for its approval.
Proposing to perfect the greatest
i engineering work the world has
ever seen in modern irrigation, the
company has wisely insisted on
having the services Of the best
engineering talent that this country
can furnish. Indeed, it is prob :
ably no exaggeration to say that
The engineers now at work for the
company are not surpassed on
either side of the ocean,, That they
stand unrivalled in the United
States is conceded. and Thus in this

"The Business Side of Fertilizing" was
the subject of the lecture by Bro. G. NJ
Twitchell, who spoke substantially as fol
lows
Farmers find themselves in peculiar
conditions. The trade complications
which hem in the manufacturer, reach out
and close about the farmer. Every day
but emphasizes the lesson that it is only
by the putting forth OF our best efforts in
line with the best thought of the present
that any measure of success can be
CLEANED. The western farmer, coming
as he is into close competition with the
immense wheat fields of Russia, India
and Egypt, is forced to turn his attention
to diversified labor The rich prairies
have been sapped until some system of
fertilizing is called for and this necessi-
tates a line of operation where the mar
gin of profits may be over two dollars per
acre.
The field to be entered is that occupied
by the eastern farmer and to hold the adj
vantage which may be ours is the lesson
of today. We cannot move our farms near
to the base of supplies as can the owners
of your cotton mills, but must SO cult
vate and fertilize it that the products
grown may be put on the home markets
at profit to the grower. 1t is not enough
that we farm for living, it must be
made business, conducted with refer
ence TO future wants and demands.
