as the Oarolinas have not money to burn

In my opinion Virginia should give
her Department Of Agriculture better
support or abolish the Board Of Agri-
culture. The commissioners can man

sistance of Board Of Agriculture. 1t
is farce for ten men to leave their
homes and business three or four times
a year and 90 to Richmond to advise
with the commissioners how TO spend
seven or eight thousand dollars in
sampling and analysing fertilizer II
our services at Richmond are worth
nothing TO the State, they are worth
something at home, and that is the
proper place for rs. l do not blame the
Legislature for not supporting the Agri-
cultural Department; the people are to
blame If there is a public demand
that the Department be supported the
Legislature will respond.
Let the people, if they want agricul-
tural development, demand through the
press that the Agricultural Department
b. properly supported. or let the next
Legislature abolish the Board of Agri-
culture and resolve the department into

Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Iri- zona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. It was about that long ago thnt the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. 1t fs useless to deny that under our nresent water system there is nothing hke < suffi- cieut water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL is forty three miles in length and covers 60,0He acres of land, about 7,0O0 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in- creasef- reservoir covering 1 600 acres having storage capacity of eight billion gal lons ia the southeast corner of township S. range S gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- structioIi of huge reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that registered temperature of 110 degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be ftilIs 90 degrees. At nearly all times there is a pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man OF beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,
 UNTOUCHED BY FROST.
 Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for a year or two until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health,nit is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley Is something better than a health resort.
