For Fruit Growers.

Apple trees should not be plant ed on low lands subject to over- flows.
 Russian mulberry trees are said to be the best of all as bird feeders.
 It is safe to say that every or- chard, well cultivated, can be made to pay.
 For the first years of an or chard, pruning is one of the most important items.
 First class fruit in first class shape will probably create an in quiry for more of the same kind.
 Mulberries make splendid shade trees for the poultry yard, {, and the fowls deyour the berries.
 There is no objection to selling No. 2 fruit if it is so marked. But to sell No. 2 fruit as No. 1 is } wrong.
 A large orchard poorly planted and poorly tended will not pro- duce as good results as fewer trees well cultivated.
 Hundreds of trees set every year die because of the neglect of the owners. It is not always the fault of the nurserymen.
 Young trees should not be trimmed too literally, as too much foliage taken from the tree weakens it's feeding power.
 In many instances apple trees bear only every other year. Were it not for this fact the trees would necessarily be very short lived.
 Whenever root grating is used in the winter the plants should not be set out in the spring unless the gratis have grown together.
 Many unoccupied fence corners might be growing a tree if set there. In few years it would be source of beauty and com- fort.
 The bed for sweet peas should be prepared as soon as possible, and the peas planted as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring.

It is rumored in this city that the Frisco System and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads are contemplating purchasing the St. L. 6 N. A. railway. How true this is we cannot say but it is evil dent from so much talk that there will be something doing in our city before long. This road will be advantageous to both these big lines and although many have their choice of the two systems either one would help our city
 very much. The Frisco System could either have an outlet in Little Rock or Hoxie, and the Rock Island could connect with the line at Little Rock, and it is also rumored that it is surveying for a line by way of West Plains. Eureka Springs Times Echo.

with which to reclaim the land and that the water should be obtained so that crop could be raised within the four years Hence money paid for water right would fill this requirement. of the law The money paid for stock in mutual water company satisfies the requirements of the law, but crop Nust be raised on one-eighth of the acreage filed on, so that during the fourth year, or sooner, proofs of reclamation could be made before the Land Office.
 Is the land suitable for oranges and lemons?
 No. Probably the lowest temperatures of winter would be against this industry.
 What does it cost per to have the land plowed?
 About the same as in any other country. Same is true of seeding to wheat barley or any other crop. Getting the land ready for irrigation is an extra expense and ranges from $I to S3 per acre, according to circumstances.
 Can men be hired who thoroughly under stand this, and at what price?
 rule men who can be relied upon have work of their own to do. as it is more profitable to put in crops than to work for wages. This remark refers to men who competent to take charge of a ranch and do the work in the ab- sence of the owner If the owner is on the help he wants at reasonable wages Wages

been irrigated, as the entire country was land that belonged to the government.
 What is a water right?
 Under the Imperial Canal System. a water right consists of stock in a mutual water com pany-Imperial Water Company No l. for in stance. Such a water right consists of one CT more shares according to how many acres of land man has. There must be one share to each acre. and such right entities the owner of the land and water stock to enough water each year to cover his land four feet deep if he wants it.
 What is the smallest payment down on water stock?
 The cash payment must be at least $2.50 per share In taking government land forty acres is the smallest tract that can be filed upon, and 40 shares of stock at $250 a share cash payment would make the smallest payment down on the water stock $100 and S10 to the government on the land.
 At what distance is Imperial from railroad station?
 At present it is about 30 miles. After lit tie, Imperial will be railroad station.
 Have you any more ten-acre tracts left?
 Yes. The subdivision adjoining the town of Imperial on the west and north contains ten acre tracts many of which have been sold but others just good are still on the market Present price $40O.

which range from s15 to $40 per acre. accord ing to location.
 Will the supply of water always be suffi- cient?
 The Colorado River is navigable stream All the land within reach Of the waters of that river can be irrigated without interfering with it's navigablity.
 Will the land produce wheat? lf so, what is the yield per acre?
 This delta is in it's infancy. No wheat crops have as yet been grown. Similar soil and climate on the Colorado River bottom lands below Yuma produce heavy wheat crops also barley, alfalfa, sorghum, millet and other similar crops.
 If the land is in the New River Valley, and New River flows into the Colorado River the water from the Colorado River into the valley?
 Certainly. New River does not flow into the Colorado River. New River is formed from period of high water each year in the months of June and July. At other seasons of the year there is no water in New River. and hence that stream has value as source of water supply New River flows from the Colo rado in a northwesterly direction towards the than the Colorado River at the point of over

somewhat higher, of course, than in old settled countries
 What kind of an orchard would you recom- mend?
 We would not recommend any kind. Each individual must be his own judge. Deciduous fruits, as a rule, would do well, but exper the best, and this experience is being had The cost of putting out orchard, the mehod of putting it out, the number of trees to the acre are about the same here as else where, only labor is probably little higher at present. and the cost of irrigation must be added when comparison is made with countries where irrigation is not necessary but this tra expense is covered by the fact that crop is never lost by virtue of drought and it is true here as elsewhere that irrigation is cheaper than rain.
 What does it cost to build small house. say four rooms?
 The cost at present is about the as it is in any locality where it is necessary to haul the lumber thirty miles, if lumber is used An cheaper The cost will depend on the amount of work put on the finish Labor of all kinds is at present a little higher than in older set tied sections of the country. The railroad to be built soon will soon bring down the price of lumber.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-03-01

How near town can government land still be had?
 Some very good government land is still
 Is the land subject to homestead entry, or must it be purchased from the company?
 Originally all the land in this delta country was government land, subject to entry as des- ert land or as homestead, except the 16th and Seth sections of each township, which was school land owned by the State. During the first two years all the school land and about 15O 900 acres of the government land was taken by the people. Of this amount a few thousand acres taken by the lm- perial Land Company with reservation land scrip, some of which is still held by the com pany and is on the market
 Is it still possible to file land that is per fectly level and smooth?
 Good smooth level land is yet to be had to the extent of many thousand acres. Much of this land is as yet beyond the reach of the canal system and is being taken as the canals are extended. It is estimated that there were 5OOO OOO acres of good level land under this system much of which would require some expense in leveling, but all of which was con- sidered good the levelest and the level est not considered the best.
 Can land be purchased from parties who have heretofore located, and if so, at what price?
 Yes. but of course, at advanced prices,

 What is the lay of the Iands-smooth roll ing-and what kind of brush, if any?
 The land is level with gentle slope of from 4 to 10 feet fall to the mile toward the north west. Much of the land has little soil hum mocks that are easily eveled down; these are from two to three feet high rule and three or four feet in diameter. Sometimes find but two or three to the acre, and sometimes eight ten The great bulk of the land can be leveled for irrigation for from nothing to one dollar per acre.
 Is it healthy country
 There is probably no healthier country in the world. The dry climate and pure atmos phere make it healthy. The experience of the past season has proven this to be fact.
 How do you irrigate?
 With water; by flooding the land by means of checks.
 What must be done to fill the requirements of the law for expendne dollar per year under the desert act?
 It was contemplated by law that the person filing on a piece of desert land should spend at least one dollar per year in securing water
