 As to the quantity of water flowing in the canals said he, in answer to a question, ''I do not know, but it was an enormous quantity. They told me that, should the water be cut off at the intake, there would be enough in the bed of the Salton River, which acts as a natural reservoir, to last six weeks for irrigation purposes.

I saw one field of twenty acres of barley, for hay, that the owner was offered $500 for, and refused it.

At CaleXico we found the San Diego & Eastern Railway surveyors at work running the line for the new road. It Is simple task, as the ground is level and the line can be run straight.

falfa has been known to go 40 and 50 feet to water. With this immense ca pacity of root nourishment, alfalfa grows top very quickly. It is also very much more crisp and tender for it's rapid growth. Alfalfa will not grow in sour, damp, swampy land; it loves a clean, sandy loam; then with plenty of water it pushes top to a finish. The mistake that most people make Is to give alfalfa too heavy a soil; then when the water is poured on to it. it forms a hardpan, and causes the ground to sour and rot the root. Ever since Adams day in the Garden of Eden, man has been supposed to deal with the herbs and plants of the earth - study their requirements, meet their wants, and feed and nour- ish them according to his best under standing. While man is not a ere ator, he is a feeder and provider. ac- cording to the Biblical instruction. Man, then, being an intelligent crea- ture. it becomes a part of his duty to study out the requirements of nature and build up and feed it in an intelli- gent manner. So that when man learns to work according to the in- telligence he is endowed with he will
 find it an easy matter to make the most of his immediate environment. This holds good in alfalfa farming as well as in the other walks of life Much more of our soil is adapted to alfalfa culture than man knows of. Sandy, porous soil grows alfalfa to a finish, while heavy land with a hardpan bot tom is not the soil to produce the best alfalfa.

4 Profitable Crop.

Discussing the alfalfa question, the Santa Ana Leader says:
 Good alfalfa land is much sought for, The alfalfa crop is compara- lively easy crop to handle, although it keeps a man in the alfalfa field a good share of the time, After cutting the first crop of alfalfa in the spring you cut it every six weeks up to No vcmber and December. It is thrifty grower and the more you cut it the faster it grows. When the top is cut away the roots expand and go deeper into the earth sending out forces to reproduce top. If you have ever ex- amined the root-fibre of the alfalfa, YOU find the great power of tenacity lies in it's strong root qualities. Al.

HARD WEDDING JOURNEY.
Young Couple walking from Rich
mOnd, Va, to Dayton, o..

BALTIMORE. Aug. S.-To walk from
Richmond. Va, to Dayton. o., is the task
set by a young couple who left here to-
day. They stated at the office of the Super
intendent of Charities that they had eloped
from Dayton four months ago and had
gone 10 Washington, where they were
married. This part of the story was sub
stantiated by the marriage certificate
which they exhibited. From Washington
they said they had gone TO Richmond.
where the young man had secured employ
ment as a conductor Of a trolley car. Then
came a strike and the husband lost his
position. His lungs were not strong and
they decided that he would be better off
at Dayton. especially as there did not
seem TO be any way to make a living for
himself and wife i'm Richmond, whereas he
is confident of securing employment in
Dayton.
They had very little money and decided
TO walk. and started out, heading for Balti-
more, as one of the stopping places. II
has taken them four weeks 10 get here.
officials refused TO give the name of
the couple. but said the man was twenty
seven years of age and his wife seventeen.
They declined to accept transportation TO
Dayton, but were provided with shoes.
