The agricultural resources of the
Gila valley are both varid and ex-
tensive, comprising an area OF
arabic land of which there is at
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home Of
alfalfa, of which from A to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from S
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than In the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and Hill lands are
adapted to all of the products OF
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed.
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
rapidity. The peaches in
and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.

ion of the valley, contains a large

Farming lands can be purchased
1t from $50 to 800 per acre, in
Improvements and water
rights.
Uncultivated land without water
right is free to any settler under
The United States homestead law.
This class of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal
TacilitIes have been increased.
The cost of maintaining the ca
nals which are owned by the farm
ers varies from 80 cts. to $1.00 per
.cre per year.
