deep cultivation gave an average
yield of "a 8 bushels per acre;
while in fifty five tests shallow
cultivation gave an average yield
OF 74.7 bushels, or a gain of 9.S
bushels per acre in favor of shall
low cultivation.
But why does shallow cult,ya.
tlon give better results than deep?
Deep culture usually means ridg.
ing, while shallow culture is usu-
ally done nearly level. In dry
seasons this may account for part
or the increase in yield resulting
from shallow culture as compared
with deep culture, for the level
surface probably best conserves
moisture.
In well-drained land, if the
SOIL Is not too hard, corn roots
Will 90 to the depth of three or
tour feet,and when the plants are
three or four feet high the feed
ing roots have met in the middle
between four.feet rows. Nearly
all parts of the soil in proper con-
ditlon will be occupied by the
small corn roots, but under the
best conditions probably more of
the small feeding roots will be
In the third or fourth inch from
the surface; therefore, cultiva-
tion during the latter part of The
season should not be deeper than
two inches or it will break many
roots and surely reduce the yield.
Or course, in wet seasons the
roots will be nearer the top of the
ground, but in such wet seasons
cutting part of the roots will do
less injury.
The objection given to shallow
cultivation in this State is, usual
ly, that it Is necessary to plow,
and 60 deep, to kill grass. This
difficulty can be partially over
come by better preparation of the
land and the more frequent cul.
tivation which can be done with
tools that stir the ground only to
shallow depth, especially when
the plants are young. Certainly,
deep culture during the latter
part of the season decreases the
yield under usual conditions and
there should be and is no need
forit. Our yield of thirteen bush
els per acre is small enough why
make it less, as is certainly done,
by the method of laying by with
the plow, now practiced by thous-
ands OF our small farmers.

Practically anything put in the soil will grow old timers declare. but II has been observed that it made con siderable difference what kind of seed was used.

 In fact, in this Phoenix store every thing that is for sale in the best reg uIated establishments of it's kind in the east can be secured Owing to the distance from the market MT.

They have also pointed out the advantages of dO- ing business as a corporation over that of doing business as an individual or as a cop partnership. This has been a most valuable piece of literature in the contest for business with the leading corporation states. During the last year this company nas distributed to

The management is in close touch with the san Pedro Lumber company and the l.. w.

Cal ifomia redwood. etc. In addition to 8 large and well assorted stock of build ing lumber the company carries on hand at all times the doors, sash, blinds California Door Company, one of the largest houses of it's kind in the entire Southwest. The Valley Lumber Com pany is one of the largest and mosc successful wards in the valley and was formed about eight years ago by local capital who purchased the plant from the l.. w. Blinn Co, the original found CTS of the business. Since that date the management has devolved upon MT. P Corpstein. an experienced lumber man and an old resident of the valley. who is well acquainted with the needs of this section of the territory. The success he has made of the busi- ness is largely due to the fact that he spares no expense to keep abreast of the times in the matter of stock equipment. The reputation he has built up for his company is the reward of unswerving honor in dealing with the public and his evident desire to mer' their continued patronage.

The capacity of of the plant has been fixed at 25 tons to start. but t so constructed that tn: capacity can be greatly enlarged with out much additional expense.

Phoenix has so long been a health and pleasure resort. catering to tourist trade that the city lacks none of the conveniences of metropolitan life. The Pioneer and Consolidated Transfer x Storage Company's business includes freight. transfer and heavy trucking for the local merchants. storage and warehousing. The company possesses uneXcelled facilities for hauling heavy machinery, distributing car load lots of furniture and merchandise, safe nov ing, piano moving, etc. having vehi- cles especially suited to each branch Of work. Its rolling stock includes heavy and light transfer wagons, drays

 The business of the company was founded in 1887 by J. D. Reed, and is history has been d history of growth corresponding with that of Phoenix. MT. C. Lauver is the manager, while C. c.

The Arizona Sdnitdrium.

The Arizona Sanatarium was found ed three years ago this spring and since that time has proven itself one of the most popular health resorts in Arizona. The accommodations offered are equal to those of the best hostel ries elsewhere, and it's close association with the famous Battle Creek sanita rum has given it a prestige that could not otherwise have been attained in so comparatively short q time.
 The most modern appliances for the care and treatment of all classes of sickness are to be had, and the stan Of physicians and nurses have had a course of training that specially fits them for the work of this magnificent institution for the care of the sick. That the reputation of the sanitarium is becoming widely known is evidenc- ed in the fact that during the three years of it's existence it has treated patients from all parts of not only this, but foreign countries as well.
