Some Southern papers have charged that the provision of the immigration law construed in Attorney General Bonaparte's recent ruling in--the Garcia case, to the effect that the states could not encourage immigration by promise of employment, is in contravention of an understand ing by which Southern members of congress supported the immi- grafton bill rushed through at the last session of congress- Southern senators, it is alleged, were given to understand that nothing the bill contained would interfere with the plans of the,r states for the promotion of for eign immigration. That such cbooOI tlACCS VI Cl C St hCI ID O U doubtedly true, but it is also true that the provision on which the attorney generals ruling is based has been a part of the immigra- tiOn law for number of years, so that the allegation of breach of faith in the adoption of the existing measure is groundless. The provision referred to IS that forbidding the importation of immigrants under contract to perform labor or under promise of employment. The attorney general holds that this inhibi- tion applies to the states as we'll as to an individual or a corpora tiOn.

Did lie See the Point?

There is bright young wom- an of the official set in Washing ton who, at a public function this winter, found herself much bored by the attentions of a fresh young man, the son of a senator from a Southwestern state.
 Soon after his introduction to the young woman the fresh, young man proceeded to regale her with a story of some adven- ture in which he had figured as hero. His listener, a remarka- bly, well bred girl, was as much surprised as he could have wish ed, though not in the same way.
 "Did you really do that?" she asked, not knowing what else to say.
 'I done it." was the proud re- sponse of the fresh young man; and he began forthwith another lengthy narrative, more startling even than the first. The young woman again politely expressed her surprise.
 "Yes," said the hero. chats what 1 donew
 A third story followed, with another T done it!' whereupon the girl remarked:
 Do you know, Mir. Blank, you remind me so strongly of Banquo's ghost in the play?"
 "Why?"
 Don't you remember that Mac beth said to the ghost, Thou can'st not say I did it!"-Lippin- cott's.

The Arkansas Razorback.

Mlueral Wells Index: A man who had watched the affair and claimed to know about hogs, razorbacks in particular, gave the following dissertation:
 "Arkansas has a greater va riety of hogs and less pork and lard than any state in the union. An average hog in Arkansas weighs about fourteen pounds when dressed with it's head on, and about six pounds and half with it's head off. It can outrun a greyhound, jump a rail fence, climb like Q parrot, and live on grass roots and rabbit tracks. It hasn't much tail or bristle, but plenty of gall. It will lick a wolf or bear in @ fair fight. It Is so called 8 razorback because it is shaped like sunfsh. In hunting razorbacks they are al- ways shot at sideways, for there is not a ghost of a show to hit them otherwise any more than to shoot at split shingle. It can drink milk out of a quart jar, on account of it's long, thin head. This type of razorback is known as the stone hog, because it's head is so heavy and it's nose so long that it ball. ances up behind. The owner of this type of hog usually ties a stone to it's tail to keep it from OVerbalancing and breaking it's ueck while running. If the stone is too heavy it will pull the skin over it's eyes and it will go blind.

Badly Mixed Up.

Abraham Brown of Winterton, N. Y, had a very remarkable experience. He says: "Doctors got badly mixed up over me. One said heart disease; two called it kidney trouble; the fourth blood poison, and the fifth stomach and liver trouble; but none of them helped me, so my wife advised trying Electric Bitters, which are restoring me to per feet health. One bottle did me fnore good than all the five doctors prescrib- ed." Guaranteed to cure blood poison, weakness, and all stomach, liver and kidney complaints. All druggists, soc.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS, A Lesson ln Intensive Farming by R. ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment. Station.
University Of Arizona, ,IanuarH h. INO6.

University of Arizona, January l5, I?O7. Just west of Yuma, Arizona, Tn the aiiuvial flood plain Of the Colorado lies a little farm of ' acres which on May l, lS6, was virgin | bottomland, covered with saltweed, arrow brush and crrosote bushes. The original purpoSe of the tract was for planting selected vHriet!"s Of date palms imported by the U. X. department of Agriculture from the Old World. The Experiment. station, May 2 be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of levellin., bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN CT WORK,
 Recognizing, however, that a farmer with his living to make meantime, cannot afford to walt 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 feasible basis from the small farm CTS point of view. In order to economizc ground the rrigatinG borders were 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-half an acre in size. lrriGating water from the Colorado Valley F. & l. Canal was obtained ill the cus- tonlary manner, and l.. l.. Crane, himself
 Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care Of what was nicknamcd 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 thlS 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 lcvellng 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 or ex perse in connection with the establish menJ of a farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, arc 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.

EXCLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was levelled, dtched and bordercd at a contract price Of Sl7 2U an acre, considerably leSS than tine average for the locality, reckoning the labor or men and teams at current rates. In addition, barbcd wire and posts Tor fencing cost S60.l0; lumber for headgatcs cost $39.J7; a drive well roiUt and pipe, a pitcher-SpOut pump and a barrel, tl3.45; q small lumber days carpenter hire, sl52. .75; and a brush-roof shelter for horses, about $500. Only skilled labor employed in leveliing, 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 ill this case was, fur nishcd by he farmer himself.
 To bring this ground under cultivation and make it habitabe for small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required a cash outlay of about $iC0i0. In addition, in thc average instance must be included team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip mcnt. shovcls hoes and other small tools.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bernnda onions. ROckyford cantaioupcs, Dwarf Cham piOn and Burpcc's Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watcrnIelons and Sundry vegetables.
 The produce was marketed in Yuma with the exception of tomatoes, which, for the largest part, were rxprrsSed to Tucson and BiSbec. The following statements for the various crops are on the basis of net cash le- turns to the small farmer, who with aE aver age family Of five and a team Of horses is aS- sunled 60 do the work required. as explained below. Items ncceSSitating cash outlay, as seed. irrigating water. ard 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, cue to the unlIlproved condition Of the soil, which, like desert soils in gcr~Is,l, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.
