Alfalfa; l.70 acres: This was sown May IS, 1905, yielding three cuttings of about five tons of clean hay the first season. During the Sec- Ond season, covered by this Timely Hint, about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay was s22.4l for irrigating water. The labor re- quired was, mans time, l4 days and team nine days, which is rather high labor require ment for this alfalfa on account of the small size of the field under consideration, and linn itcd use of machinery. This crop at S5 co to Sl000 a ton, loose, which has been the price this season, represents cash return of not less than Sl20O0 for the crop; but this hay was used to feed the team employed on the place, proving to be more than sufficient for that purpose since stack of about three tons re- mains at the end Of the season. The manure from this source, being free from Bermuda grass seed, was especially valuable for fertil- iZing a part of the crops grown.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS. A Lesson in Intensive Farming by R. H. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona, January l5, 1907.

GdnudTy 10, 1JU|.
 Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial flood plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm of 72 acres which on May 1, 1905, was virgin bOttomland, covered with saltweed, 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 Z, be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of leveiling, bordering and irrgating the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN OF WORK
 Recognizing, however, that a 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 tree-rowS, thus putting the work on q feasible basis from the small farm CTS point of view. In order to econOmiZe ground the rrigating 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 F. x l. Canal was obtained in the GUS tOmary manner, and E. l.. Crane, himself a Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was nicknamed 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 Government irrigating system now under construction will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish menU of farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general Sltua- tion, that this cultural work was planned.

The amount of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area especially at the tranSplan ting time. One days team work in preparing the land and about g days, mems time, were required to bring it through, al- though the work was not heavy and could have been largely performed by boys. The yield was low owing to the desert and unfer- tiliZed character of the soil, onions requiring large amounts of organic matter in the soil to give good results.

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy lOam well adapted to gardening operations, was leVelled, ditched and boIdered at a contract price Of Sl7 20 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 S6O.l0; lumber for headgates cost S39.57; drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout pump and a barrel, sl3 45; small lumber two-room house, including five and one half days carpenter hire Sl52.75; 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 dinariIy would be, and in this case was, fur nished by the farmer himself.
 To bring this ground under cultivation and make it habitablc for a small farmer and his family, aS stated above, therefore required a cash outlay of about s40000 In addition, in the average instance must be included q team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip ment, shovelS hoes and other small tools.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions. RockyfUrd cantaioupes Dwarf Cham pion and Burpecs Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa besides a 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 re- turns to the small farmer, who with an aver age family of live and a team of horses is as- stunned to do the work required. as explained below. Items neceSsitating cash outlay, as seed. irrigaring 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 in certain instances are low, due to the unimprovcd condition of the soil, which, like desert soils in geroral, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.
 White Bermuda onions; .47 acres; Seed planted Sept 27-Oct. 3, 1905. Young onions transplanted Feb. 5-9 l9i. Crop matured about June |. Yield, 39l6 pounds of dry on- ions. Highest price received, 214c a pound; lowest price received, l.Sc a pound. Entire crop marketed in Yuma.
The Arizona sentinel., 1907-09-11

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about h working days, with team 1H days The sesbania used as green manur- ing on the west half of the potato ground was given I7 iTrigatiOnS. Bermuda grass, more over flOurished beneath the seSbania to such an extent as subsequently, to require g days labor for cleaning up the .40acreS so fertiliZed. Although the larger part of the crop came from the Sesbania fertilized portion of the pO- tatoes, this method of enriching the soil proved very costly, ? days mans time and days teamwork being required to put the ses- bania under and afterwards get rid of the Bermuda grass Nevertheless, the labor en- tailed could easily have been managed by a careful farmer, a5 the Bermuda digging was done in January when other work was not urgent.
