A PRODUCTIVE AND PROFIT ABLE PLANT IN THE

It Will Realize From $4S to s6O Per Acre-Can Be Grown in
 Arkansas.

 Special Correspondence of the Graphic:
 ORACLE, AR1z., June 21.-One of the most profitable crops to agri- culturists in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas is alfalfa grass or hay. This forage plant in the great South west grows all the year round, It IS cut for hay from four to six times annually, and in the famous Salt River Valley never yields less than five crops. It produces about two tons per acre each cutting, or an average crop of eight tons to the acre, each year. Alfalfa hay readi- ly brings in the market from $6 to $10 per ton. An acre of alfalfa therefore will bring ln from $48 to &9O au acre each year. The seed sells from six to nine cents ger pound and from Ia to 20 pounds of seed are req uired to the acre. One plan ting will last from six to ten years.
 Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson recently made trip to the coasts of Louisiana and Texas for the pur- pose of encouraging tbe growth of alfalfa among the farmers. The De. partment of Agriculture for several years has been making scientific study of the growth and, culture of the plant, and any one interested in the subject can get the desired in- formation by addressing the depart ment at Washington.

Arkansas, Arizona ard New Mex ieo are in the same ia titude, the two Territories extending little north and south of Arkansas. All are crossed little north of center by the 35th degree fine, north latitude. Pine Bluff aud Phoenix, Gin the heart of the rich Salt River Valley country) are on about the same lati tudinal lines drawn from East to West; as are also Texarkana ard Tucson. Therefore, if alfalfa four ishes in the Sal River Valley of Ar izona, why won't it flourish in the Arkansas River Valley of Arkansas? But it does not require valley to produce alfalfa grass, It is a very hardy plant and will grow most anywhere where there is plenty of smolsture,
