Yuma, Arizona. has been dubbed
"the hottest spot in the United States"
and it deserves the reputation. There
may be places where the Thermometer
at times goes higher than Mt Yuma,
but there IS NJ place where the aver

Yuma is not, ana there is no getting
away from it, though the natives
won't admit II.
But there are other things at Yuma
besides the heat; there are things
here which in a way compensate for
the intensely hot climate, otherwise
/ there would be no Yuma.
Yuma and the surrounding coun-
try possesses rare agricultural possi-
bilities of a kind peculiarly its own.
Today Yuma lies i'm the center of a
vast burning desert; 10 years from to-
day it is probable that Yuma will
be the center of great and thriving
agricultural region.
The soil in and about Yuma is cx-
| tremely fertile: the Colorado river

runs almost entirely to waste. is 70

desert into a garden spot in an in
credibly short time. But aside from
its fine soil and its abundance of wa

| United States; its farmers are today
cutting seven to eight crops of alfalfa

fully developed, and all the arabic

son, beginning before the frost is out
of the ground in other regions, will be
able to put its first crops on the mar

Plans of the Government.
These are some of the reasons why

nearly 100000 acres of land in the
immediate vicinity of Yuma.
According to the present estimate
settlers under the Yuma project mus
pay about $35 an acre for water
While this is a high rate, more thar
is charged in other sections, the figure
is a reasonable one when it is consid'
cred that the Yuma lands yield two
crops annually of most vegetables
and eight crops of alfalfa each sea
son.
On its face the Yuma project is 9
