So that by no human possibility can
the occupant Of one Of these garden
farms fail to have an abundant water
supply whenever needed and to what
ever extent the water may be required.
The Salt River Valley is in the cen
trail part Of Arizona and the summer
climate is of course hot; but with such
land as that embraced in the tract re-
ferred to. with the ample and unfail-
ing supply OF water for its cultivation,
the summer heat and long growing
| season make 1t possible to practically
engage in hot house culture out Of
doors. and to mature crops so rapidly
that four or five or even more of some
crops II year may Ike produced from the
same land. This makes possible Il
profit per acre from truck gardening
and berry culture and the raising OF
small fruits, combined with poultry
raising on the same place. that will
yield II profit per acre wholly unob-
tanahlc in more rigorous climate.
The miners and great mining camps
OF the Southwest furnish an unsur
passed market for all the products OF
such garden farms as those proposed
