Republicans Will Use Caution.

There is every indication that the republican majority in con- gress is likely to temper it's ac- tion with excessive caution this session because of the suppos- ed effect of any decisive action upon the presidential campaign, and we hope that the majority will not Overdo this policy. The United States is more populous, more active, richer, more pro- gresSive than it has ever been before; therefore it's needs are greater and the demands upon statesmanship are heavier. The people are not penurious ant they will applaud strong, deci- sive, constructive work. They want many, many things and are willing to pay for them, and they will not find fault with congress for meeting great needs in d great way.

No Haif-Baked Pleasure.

The note of conservatism soun- ded by Speaker Cannon in refer ring to financial legislation in his address to the republican caucus will meet with the ap- proval of thoughtful people throughout the country, in spite of the numerous demands voiced through the press that -immedi- ate action be taken in the matter. Any effort to legislate expedi- tiously on the currency problem would almost Inevitably result in the passage of ill-advised or ill-considered measures. There seems to be a general belief that some legislation of a remedial character will be enacted during this session, but it should be the result of due deliberation, in ev- cry way a credit to the party, and not half baked measure passed under the pressure of an evanescent emergency.

They Always Happen So.

While we are not a prophet or the son of prophet yet it is be- coming a popular fad to give weather forecasts, so here is our prediction for this month: Dur ing the first half there will be some brisk winds from the-north, but every day the sun will rise, and often there'll be gloomy skies; some days, however, may be fair, with southern winds and mellow air. Those things will happen sure, we know, because they always happen so. This good months moon will full, and office seekers work their "pull''. Some lucky ones will land the prize, while other men esteemed as wise will fail in all they undertake and find they've made a sad mistake, for Charla- tans to fortune ride while modest worth is thrust aside. These things will happen, we know, because they've always hap pened so. In this good month of 1907, the boys and girls will have their fun. They'll go to parties, dance and spark; they'll kiss eack other in the dark; they'll marry and begin their life, happy, hopeful man and wife, and sometime they will own kid, just like their dads and mammies did. These things will happen, sure, we know, because they've always happened so.

Senator FOraker's announce ment that he will ask the voters of Ohio to support him as can didate for the republican presi
 dential nomination is quite in ac- cord with his frequently express ed intention to- submit to the re- publicans of Ohio his differences of opinion with the administra- tratiOn and with Secretary Taft, and will doubtless be welcomed by Secretary Taft's managers; as we'll as by the general public in Ohio. It is entirely credita- ble to Mir. Foraker that he pur- poses to stand or fall on his rec ord and offers to submit to the voters the issue raised by his continued opposition to the ad- ministration and it's policies, and his campaign will be a whole some test of public sentiment.

One of our exchanges adver- tises COW for sale, as follows "Ful-blooded COW for sale, giv- ing milk, three tons of hay, a lot of chickens and several stoves."

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by R. II. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona, ,JaHQ0ry l5- lM07.

Just west Of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluviai ! fot,d-plan Of the Colorado, lies little farm
 or 7-2 acres which on May ], 1905, was virgin ] bottOmland, covered with Satwced, 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 2, be- l gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work Of leveling, bordering and irrigating | 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 all orchard to come into bearing, | it was planned to plant crops for quick re- | turns between the tree-rowS, thus putting the
 work on a feasible basis from the small farm | er's point of view. In order to ecOnOmiZe 1 ground the iTrgating 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 Onehalf an acre ill
 size. lrrigating water from the Colorado i Valley r. x l. Canal was obtained in the GUS 1 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- l 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 s. an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish ment of a 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 situa- ton, that this cultural work was planned.

The amount of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area, especially at the transplanting time. One day's team work in preparing the land and about 32 days mems time, were required to bring it through, al have bee,I 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 GRJUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was leVelleh, ditched and boTdered at i 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 S60l0; lumber for headgatcs cost S39.57; a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout pump and barrel, $l3.45; a small lumber days carpenter hire, Sla2.75 and a brush-roof shelter for horses, about $500. Only skilled labor employed in dwelling, 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 dinarily would be; and in this case was, fur nShcd 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 Si00.tN. In addition, in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. plow, harrow, having equip ment. shOvelS hoes and other small tools.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

Tine crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions. Rock yfoTd cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham pion and Burpee'S 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 BisbeP. The following statements for the various crops are on the basis of net cash re- turns to the small farmer, who with aI. aver age family of five and team of horses is as- stunned to do inc work required. as explained below. Items necessitating cash outlay, ss seed. irrigating water. and crates are deducted from gross returns. Water costs an average of 50 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields in certain instances are low. Gue to the unimpr0ved condition of the soil which, like desert soils in gec.ial was low in nitrogen and organic matter Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about l0 working days, win team l M days. The seSbania used as green manur- ing on the west half Oi.tbe rotate ground was given r. irrigations. Bermuda grass, more over, flOurished beneath the sesDania to such an extent as subsequently, to require g days labor for cleaning up the .45 acres fertilized. Although the larger. part Of the crop came from the sesbania fertilized portion of the p0- tatOes, this method ef enricliiGg the soil proved very costly, N days mans time and 3 days tean-work 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, as the Bermuda digging was done in January when other work was not urgent. +'-'
