of raising double crops, and in many
localities more than one crop year.

There are cases where conditions
will suggest that tillage of any kind
is unwise. Such fruits as the straw
berry, which produces its crop close
TO the ground and early in the season,
obviously should receive little If any
cultivation before the fruit is harvest
ed. The practice of tillage, however, is
correct in principle. The wisdom OF
the grower must suggest the proper
application of it.

a SAMPLE IRRIGATION UNDER
TAKING,

The irrigation bureau of the interior
department, although it has made
many preliminary surveys, has not yet
made public the locations of the sew
on vast irrigation reservoirs on which,
under the plan now adopted, work will
first begin. But some pretty good
guesses, however, are being made con-
corning what selections will be made.
For example, the people of the Salt
river valley in Arizona, feel confident
that one of the first dams constructed
will be across the Salt river. They
have this confidence because they as
sert that nowhere else can an irriga-
made with greater certainty OF Gus
cess. The government, it is known, is
most anxious that the first irrigation
works be not failures, and the engi-
neers in charge are little disposed to
favoritism in making the locations.
Inasmuch as what is proposed in the
Salt river canyon is sample of the
kind of work the government intends
to eventually do in many places, a brief
sketch thereof we are sure will be of
interest to our readers. The irrigation
under consideration is not of the Wis
ionary kind. The Salt river in Ari-
IONA, which flows near the city of
Phoenix, is like many other mountain
rivers-eXceedingly variable in it's
water supply. At most seasons of the
year it is little more than a creek, but
for brief periods, when the SHOWS on
the mountains are melting, it is rag
ing torrent. The river cuts it's way
through hills before debouching into a
broad valley, forming a canyon with
lofty walls. Across this canyon it is
sonary 285 feet high, utilizing the
sides of the canyon as the other walls
of the reservoir. With this dam it will
be possible to impCund water sufficient
to cover million acres of land one
foot deep. This collected water will
redeem, approximately, 100000 acres
of land from the desert. The cost of
the dam and ether works is estimated
at $2,5OO,000 So if 81 per acre for
water is charged for five years the cost
of the. work will be returned to the
national irrigation furd, to be used
elsewhere, and thereafter the water
users will have to meet only the small
cost of annual maintenance. 1t has
often been shown that the barren and
burnt lands of Arizona need but water
to make them productive in an extra
ordinary degree. The soil is rich with
all the necessary clements of plant
life. Wherever water has been secured
for patches by the river sides remark
able crops have been raised. 1t has
been proved that an artificial water
supply, being subject at all times to
human control, is much better than a
natural one, necessarily irregular even
in the most favored sections. In an
irrigated region, SO long as the water
canals flow, there is practically abso-
lutte certainty of a bumper crop every
year. The tiller is not subject to the
mutations of either drouth or flood. 1t
is estimated that an acre of irrigated
land, one year with another will pro-
duce twice the amount of an acre of
similar fertility where dependence is
