A slo,ooo,o 900 HAY CROP.
arizona Estimates That Its Alfalfa This
Year VIII BE Worth That sum,

Phoenix, AriZ.-The great drought
in the Middle and Western States and
the consequent general scarcity of
hay and grain is proving a blessing
to Arizona. In this Territory the
heaviest harvest of wheat and barley
that has ever been known has just
been gathered. and two crops of al
falfa Of unprecedented size are stored
away safely. 1t is this great crop of
alfalfa that will be of particular value
to the ranchers of Arizona.
Arizona supplies hay to nearly all
of Northern Mexico. part of New
Mexico, and eve Ships into California
and the Northern States. BY far the
largest alfalfa section is about Phoe-
nix. In this valley there are nearly
100000 acres of alfalfa and S~2,OOO,O00
is a conservative estimate this year of
its value. From two to five crops
will be gathered. averaging from one
to one and one-half tons per acre.
The price of hay is now at 81 per
ton, and is rising.
In other parts of the Territory the
average production will not be as
high as in the valley, but $1O'OOO,OOO
as the total worth of Arizona alfalfa
will not be in excess of the final fig
ures.

with A crowd, and with a seine in his
