The death of Queen Victoria, which
occurred on Tuesday, has been re-
ceived with sorrow throughout the
world, and all concur in saying that
she was not only wise sovereign aud
ruled her people well but was a
model in all things that pertain to a
noble womanhood. Her reign WAS
longer and more fruitful in good 10
every way to her people than that Of
any of her predecessors. From the
beginning she exhibited a sincere
love for those over whom she had
been called to reign and continued TO
show her interest in their welfare to
the close Of her life in way, that
made her the best beloved ruler the
British people ever knew "and Q
woman whose wOmanly virtues
crowned her with a more lustrous
crown than the emblem of her sover-
eighty.

The success of the organization
started a few mouths ago for the bet
terment of the condition of our farm
ers, known as the Eastern Shore Pro
duce Exchange, is now assured be-
yond all question. 1t not only did not
languish and die AS some predicted
and hoped it would before the potato
season was half over last year, but
continued to grow in favor with the
farmers from the beginning to the
end of the season and this year starts
out with vigor, showing that it il
very much alive and that better
things even may be expected through
its operations this season. That it
has such vitality though is what we
ought to have expected. An organi-
zation, which not only saved to the
people of the Eastern Shore tens of
thousands of dollars in the better
prices realized by them through it
for the produce sent to market last
year, but which made for them forty
cents on every dollar invested by
them in il, of course, could not fail
to receive that support which gives
it renewed life and vigor at the be-
ginning of another year. That it will
continue to grow and flourish we be-
leve, and we could not believe other
wise. without rejecting upon the in
telligence of our people. Oppressed
and impoverished as they have been,
by the ways in which they have mar
keted their produce in the past, OF
course, they could not, in the exer-
else of wise discretion return to
them. Realizing as they do the good
which the Exchange has already
done, they cannot fail to see that it il
their duty to stand by it and help il
along to greater success ia the future
and we do not believe we could do
our people greater service than by
convincing them that it is their duty
to do so.

Something Worth Knowing About Mud
 The alluvial silts which are always carried, in greater or less quantity, in river waters, although they detract from their agf eea bleness, are second in irrigating value only to the water it. self.
 In wild country, undisturbed by the operations of man, and still covered with it's natural vegetation, the quan- tity of silt contributed to running streams is comparatively small, and consists largely of materials eroded from sleeper slopes. But when forests and grassy plains are overrun with sheep and cattle, when the grasses are destroyed and the surface is ground to powder by trampling herds, when the rainfall begins to gully the range and the debris into the river the quantity of mud carried in irrigating streams becomes very much greater. It's quality, also, must be affected by the stock-manure swept into the drainage from the surface of the ranges. | Now, just as the deposit of mud re- sulting from the annual overflow of the Nile accounts for the fertility of the Egyptian low lands, so do the rich | silts deposited upon irrigated lands in 1 Arizona account, in large part, for their constantly increasing productiveness.
 The two most valuable constituents of our river silts are nitrogen and organic matter, being precisely the elements of fertility deficient in our burned out arid region soils. The ad- dition and incorporation Of these deficient materials is largely responsi- ble for the well known improvement by irrigation of desert lands.
 The fertiliziug value of these river silts to an irrigated district may bs judged when it is stated that, for tho year ending August 1, 1900, the mue deposited on the irrigated lands of tho Salt River Valley, valued at commer ciai rates for fertilizers, amounted tt about one million dollars, or, not fzi from eight dollars per acre for the
 valley. Considered as an investment this eight dollars of value, which il
 disregarded in the cost of the water
 returns with increase in the resulting
 crops.
 Flood waters, heavily charged witt
 silts, especially after a long season o
 dry weather, are of course far nor
 fertilizing in character than the com
 parativeiy clear low stage waters. Al acre-foot, equal to d 12 hour run of 4 inches, of three sample flood water from the Colorado, Salt and Gila rivers had the commercial fertiliziug value reckoning to include potaah, nitroge
The Florence tribune., 1901-11-02


 The value of occasional irrigations with water of this character should be considered in connection with artesian well and irrigation plants which pump from wells. Such water supplies contain no fertilizing silts, and, incidentally to their use for the irrigation of such as trees, vines and vegetables, it should pay thegrower to arrange, where possi- ble. for an occasional run of muddy water for fertilizing purposes.
 Muddy water has it's disadvantages. Ditch cleaning is serious item of ex- pense to canal companies and farmers, amounting, for instance, to about S, 300 a year for the 50 miles of main ditch belonging to one of the Salt river valley canals.
 Tender vegetation also, such as young alfalfa, is quite often destroyed by a coating of mud on the leaves but with the furrow method of irrigation, where available, and other precau- tionary measures, the damage from this cause may be greatly lessened. In this connection, the milky sedi- ment in the upper Gila, resulting from the milling operations at Clifton, is of interest. The irrigating water thus contaminated is popularly supposed to be injurious to vegetation but samples examined in the Station laboratories show nothing chemically objectionable, eitherin the water or in the sediment. In agreement with this evidence, Mr. 1 Henry Hill, successful gardener near Clifton, says: "My large garden has been steady producer since 1894. dur ing all of which time it has taken it's water direct from the works of the Arizona Copper company, the water so taken having always been adulterated | with tailings. I have had no difficulty in raising fruits and all varie- ties of vegetables"
 The only injurious effect to be ex- pected from the use of these tailings, which are largely composed of sticky clay, is in coating the leaves of vgeta-
 tion, as mentioned above.
 The failures of potatoes, beans and
 other crops attributed to the use of
 this water may easily be due here as in
 other localities, to other causes.
 River mud, however, is unquestion- , ably a menace to storage reservoirs, especially 50 on so murky stream as
 the Gila, whose waters we have ob-
 served to contain as high as 19.6 per 7 cent, by volume, of well settled mud , Yet even this fact may be made use oi
 for filling in the depressions of rougt land. Its efficiency for this purposes il f illustrated by the experience of ont f farmer of Thatcher, Ariz., who statel , that, having little water to spare, he threw an embankment about three fee F | high across the lower end of piece o
 rough land and turned in his mudd,
 water. In six weeks the embanket space was half full of mud, and, being d drained, gives him valuable field o e most fertile soil.-TR. H. FORBES, Ari, r. zona Experimental Staticn.
