TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS. A Lesson in Intensive Farming by R. H. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona,
 ,IaniIgrV Ia 1N7.

l January l5, 1907. Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial | flood-plain Of the Colorado, lies little farm l of 7.2 acres which on May l, 19Oo, was virgin bottomland, covered with saitweed arrow | brush and creosote bushes. The original
 purpose of the tract was for planting selected varieties of date palms imported by the U.. S Department of Agriculture from the, Old World. The Experiment. station, May ?, be-
 gan preparing the ground. and on May 20 the
 work of levelling, bordering and irrgating the tract and the planting of l02 palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN OF WORK
 Recognizng however, that farmer with his living to make meantime, cannot afford to wait for an orchard to come into bearing, it was planned to plant crops for quick re- turns between the trec-rows, thus putting the
 work on asfeaSible basis from the small farm er's point of view. In order 10 ecOnomiZe ground the irligating borders were so placed as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into
 lands, for the most part one-haif an acre in
 size. lrrigating water from the Colorado Valley r. & l. Canal was obtained in the GUS
 tOmary manner, and E. l.. Crane, himself a
 Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was ncknamed our play farm"
 In size, as well as in the intensive character of the work planned, this farm" is the op- posite of the average holdings of this locality.
 The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa, corn, barley, and forages in general, compara- lively little attention being given to vege- tables and fruits Withal, the cost Of levelling
 land in this region is high, rarely falling be- low twenty dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, ex- elusive of maintenance, of the Govern ment irTigating system now under construction will be about $50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of ex pepSe in connection with the establish menJ of a farm in this region, intensive crops of a more Temunerative character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore as an object lesson bearing upon these financial DgupctS of the general SitnQ- ton, that this cultural work was planned.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions. ROckyford cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides few hills of watermelons and sundry vegetables.
 The produce was marketed in Yuma with the exception of tomatoes, which, for the largest part, were expressed to Tucson and Bisbee. The following statements for the various crops are on the basis of net cash le- turns to the small farmer, who with all aver age family of five and a team of horses is aS- Sumed to do the work required. as explained below. Items neceSSitating cash outlay, as seed, irrigating water, and crates are deducted from gross returns Water costs an average Of 30 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields iii certain instances are low, due to the Cnimproved condition of the soil, which, like desert soils in ger.Ial, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. some small salty areas also affected yields locally.

EXCLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, a warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was levelled, ditched and boIdered at contract price Of Sl7. 2U an acre, considerably less than the average for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cost S60IO; lumber for headgates cost S39.57; a drive well point and pipe, pitcher-spout pump and a barrel, Sl3.45; a small lumber two-room house, including five and one half days carpenter hire, $l52.75; and brush-roof shelter for horses, about $500 Only skilled labor employed in levelling, bordering and ditching the ground, and for part cOnstruc- ton of the house, is included in the above estimates, as the common labor required or dinariy would be, and in this case was, fur nished by the farmer himself
 To bring this ground under cultivation and make it habitable for a small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required a cash outlay of about Si00O0. In addition, in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. blow, harrow, having eguip- mcnt, shOvels hoes and other small tools.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 11.-The
sunhappiest group Of department clerks

those in the Office of the Auditor for

There are ninety-e1ght clerks in the

Southern States. and twenty-five OF
the ninety-elght are women and ntne
Of these are from Southern States.
1t was said here to-day by one Of
the best-known negroes In the coun-
try, who has himself held high office,
but who wishes his name withheld.
that the appointment Of Tyler would
not help the President or Taft in Ohio,
as there was not a Leading negro In
Ohio, who was not opposed to Tyler
being given any office Of prominence.
'.Tyler" he said, "has been nothing
but a busybody reporter, on q Colum-
bus, O., paper, and he got Booker
SWashington's backing for q Federal
appointment by boosting Booker's
school and his visit in tho North in
the paper that ho worked for. He is
no part of representative man OF
the colored race In Ohio"
The ex-colored official said that lie
doubted whether Tyler was competent
to fill so responsible q position.

MAINTENANCE OF
RICHMOND. BUILDING
Meeting One Of Most Enthusi-
astic Body Has Held in
Recent Years-Big
Rally to Be Held
Tuesday Morn
ing.

The quarterly meeting of the Cham
Der OF Commerce last night was one OF
the most notable sessions Of that body
held in recent years. AS q result OF
the large attendance and the enthu-9
slasm new impetus was given to
the movement to raise q fund of
$50, 900 for the maintenance OF tho
chambers work and the advertisement
OF the city. Reports were received
from the advertising committee and
from the subscription committee, and
these elected an interesting discuss
sion, and, what is better still, not q
few substantial subscriptions to the
advertising fund The advertising
committee was intrustcd with Che
$4,000 already. available, with advisory
instructions to expend as much as
may be necessary for the Handbook
OF Richmond and to devote as much OF
tho residue as in its discretion may
be desirable to the proper caro- and
conduct Of the Richmond building at
the exposition. m
! PROBABLY the most important action of
| tho meeting was the determination to
hold general public meeting In the
| chamber assembly hall on Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock for the purpose Of
reporting subscriptions to the $50, 900 ad-
vertislng fund.- of which only $4,000 has
Yet been subscribed. The committee Of
seventy-tWo in charge Of this work will
bestir themselves. and all the other men,
/ bers are urged to participate IA strong
pull to secure this figure, and more IL
possible. The city Is to be divided into
ten districts. and lists of names arc to
be prepared for each district. and 1t Is
anticipated that liberal subscriptions will
be received. The committee will go out
on the warpath Tuesday and will not
desist until it shall have raised not less
than $4,000. AT least that is the plan,
and those present last night developed no
| little enthusiasm In support Of this Whlrl-
wind campaign. Active interest was
manifested by the unsolicited tender OF
| who had given doubled their amounts,
Enthusiastic speeches wero made, and
when tho meeting adjourned NIL present
i felt that the experiment of holding quar-
