Arizona is mountainous country
Between the different ranges are
large areas of primeval desert where
sand, the cactus, the wolf and jack
rabbit reign supreme. Here and
there are bits of land under culsiva-
sion. by irrigation. This portion, in
which Doctor Green and | have
breatbed for year and half is the
second largest cultivated area of
land in Arizona The valley is about
thirty Eve miles long and will aver
age about two miles wide There
are several irrigasiug canals. and
another, the Enterprise is being dug.
which when completed, will cover
another $1,000 acres of land: This
is being huils by the Mormon people.
Experimenting eliminated, the pro
ducts of this valley are wheat, corn,
barley, fruits, as apples, peaches,
pears, plnms and small berries, and
vegetables of all kinds. The prices
which rule here would drive an east
ern farmer green with jealousy
Corn, wheat and barley are seldom
less>tban 81 per hundred Apples
are selling at &c per pound. eggs 35c
per dozen, and are seldom less than
zoe. st present the demand ex-
ceeds the supply, and prices rule
accordingly
Two crops are generally raised
on one piece of ground When the
wheat or barley is cut crop of corn
is put in and it generally natures
Two crops of potatoes are raised
and if the people here farmed as hard,
and must say, as inielligently as
do the people of the East. a 20 acre
ranch in this valley would be the
next thing to q gold mine. Besides
farming there are but few industries
There are four -four mills in the
valley, and another being erected /; a
