GROWING INDUSTRY
 IN WILSON DISTRICT
The Practicability of Asparagus Gull
 ture Has Been Proved.

Wilson District Mar. 24.-(Special Correspondence of the. Republican.)- The culture af asparagus is one of the growing industries of tnis district. There are perhaps eight to ten acres set to this plant. Among those who have been successfully growing it for number of years are Sperry Baker. Mrs. Savers, MT. Bryant. MT. Fine and MT. Desmit MT. Desmit is the largest grower in the valley and perhaps in the territory. The soil on his ranch seems especially adapted to it's cul- ture, being sandy and easy to work. He mas three acres already set. and from which he has been cutting for two or three years. It is by no means an easy job to put out such bed. The preparation of the soil is most es- sential in order to produce a good, healthy plant. The ground should be thoroughly plOugned and pulverized, the soil covered deep with manure. and the roots placed deep in the soil in rows about six or seven feet apart. The rapid growth of asparagus soon impOVerishes tne soil, and unless GOV cred every winter with manure the stalks become small and spindling. MT Desmit has paid particular attention to this very feature, keeping it under the highest state of cultivation. He is enthusiastic in this business, well equipped and deserves the great meas ure of success that is now coming to him.
 Wm. Chambers. one of the success ful bee men of the valley. is getting ready to take his usual summer out ing. Too close application to his sev- eral apiaries with the hard work and worry in connection with them began to make serious inrOads upon his health. He has now rented the whole to Will EIvey, and hereafter he will ton to his health.
 The young folks of our neighbor- hood had a party at MT. Pritcnard's last Saturday night. Fun was on tap from the very start and all seemed to enjoy themselves.

SULPHUR SPRINGS
 VALLEY FARMS
Homestead Entries in Arsesian Belt
 of Cochise County.

Though Arizona VIII always have q larger acreage of mountains and "un- arable" deserts, than of productive land. the day is not far distant when
 there will be in addition a larger area
 under cultivation than in many of the eastern states that do a deal of boast I.ing about their agricultural resources. | Water will be developed in a half doz- en ways now demonstrated beyond the experimental stage and perhaps by oth- CT devices not yet dreamed of and water is all that is needed for the re-
 clamation of q vast area.
 4 case in pcint is the Sulphur Springs valley in Cochise county. Artesian
 water has heen developed there in
 many places, and many people are talk
 ing up homesteads with the view of
 farming by artesian water and :rriga- tion No doubt the artesian flow will be developed in many more places not
 only in that but in other Arizona val
 leys that have been hitherto looked
 upon al impossible of reclamation. The
 Cochise county papers for the last year
 have been booming their agricultural ' resources and they do well to do so,
 for they are des tined to become import
 ant in the near future. Recently there i has been something of boom in home stead entries in the Sulphur Springs valley and a Bisbee paper reports that I over a hundred aspirations for home
 steads have been made within the last | six months Whatever rne expense of farming under those conditions, one thing is assured to the farmer. constant market for all he can pro- duce in the populous mining camps nearby and presumably at whatever ! prices he is forced to charge. At pres ent there are many things hard to get ! in those markets at any price, and i white man is just peculiar enough to ! pay whatever is necessary when he ! sees what he wants offered for sale. l Inquiry at the local land office yes [ terday revealed the fact that thus far this month there have been filed fifty applications for homestead entries, of ] Sulphur Springs valley. Register M. l for the last year Cochise county has i been a larger patron or the land office ! than any other county in the district. i The homestead entry, of course, re- ! quires for proving up, the watering and ! cultivating of the land SO that the prospective settler must take into con l sideration the fact thaS he needs a lit | tie capital to develop water, after he ! gets the land. The days have gone by | when the homesteader can get good 1 land supplied by ample rainfall, for i the mere living upon it, and turning l over the soil and planting of the seed. ! Nevertheless, there are yet many op- portunities for farm homes, without prohibitive expense.
