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 32 days, mems time were required to; bring 1t 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.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS. A Lesson In Intensive Farming by R. ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona, Inni,arv l5 lNH

JhuusiTy lO l'V1'
 Just west of Yuma, Arizona. In the slluvial flood -pi;tin of the Colorado lies a little farm Of 7.2 acres which on May l, lyOo, was virgin bottomland, covered with saltweed, arrow. brush and creosOte bushes The origlnai purpose Of the tract was for planting selected varieties of date palms imported by the U. S: Department of Agriculture rom the Oid World. The Experiment station, May Z. be gan preparing the ground, and on May 2O the work of levelling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting Of l12 palms, was completed.
 Recognizing, however, that q 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 a feasible basis from the small iarm CTS point of view. In order to ecOnom1ze ground the irrigating borders were so placed ns to coincide with the rows Of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasteo. The tract was divided by the borders into lands for the most part One-haif an acre Tn size lrrigating water from the colorado Valley F. X l. Canal was obtained fn the GUS tomary manner and F.. l.. Crane, h1mseiI a Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care Of what was nicknamcd our play farln.
 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, coHpari- lively little attention being given 10 vsse- tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of leveliing 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 l irrigatinp 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' ment of q farm in this region, intensive crops | of a more remunerative character than those l now In vogue, are essential. It was partly 1 therefore as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects Of the general sltui | tion that this cultural work was planned.

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about l5 working days, with team 1 1s days The Sesbania used as green manur- ing oT,the west half of the potato ground was given i7 irrigations. Bermuda grass, more over, fiourished beneath the sesbania to such an extent as subsequently, to require g days labor for cleaning up the .45acres so fertilized. Although the larger part of the crop came from the sesbania fertiliZed portion of the pO- tatoes. this method of cnriching 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- failed could easily have been managed by a careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was done in January when other work was not urgent.

CROPS AND MARKETS

The crops selected for the season Of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions Rocky ford cantaioupes Dwarf Cham pIon and Burpce'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 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 five and team of horses Is as stunned 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 in certain instances are low, cue to the unimproved condition Of the soil, which, like desert soils in genYral, 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. 8, 1905. Young onions transplanted, Feb: 5-9 lsod Crop matured about June |. Yield, 39l6 pounds of dry on- ions Highest price received, 2Hc q pound; lowest price received, l.Sc pound. Entire crop marketed in Yuma.

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was levelled, ditched and boidered at contract price Of sI7 2O an acre. considerably less than the aNe craze for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition barbed wire and posts TOT fencing cost S6O.lO; lumber for headgates cost SS9.oI; a drive well point and pipe, a pttcher-spout pump and barrel, Sl3.45; & small lumber two-rooIn house, including live and one -hall days carpenter hire, Sl52.75; and brush:rooi 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 dinarly would be, and in this case was, fur nished by the farmer himself
 To bring this ground under cultivation ana make 1t habitable for a small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required n cash outlay of about $i00.dO. In addition in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip ment, shovels hoes and other small tools.

Chicago, Oct. Fall trade thus far
has been below the normal volume of

vent of the fall season. While re-
ceipts, were considerably below the rec
orde of last year, the consignments are
of ample proportions to supply urgent
orders. There is exhibited general
disposition to economic on the part of
large consum ers on account of the ex-
traordinary cost Of feed, that has ma
terially contracted the demand for ell
classes of commercial offerings. Prices,
In sympathy with narrower demand,
are $5.00@15.00 below the range of
summer values. Trade lacks the ag-
gressiye tone that usually heralds the

SOMETHING ABOUT
THE new PASS LAW

The Hartman lines in Oregon, in
sending out the annual passes that are
being issued toI the new year, have
attached conditions not heretofore
known. The interstate commerce law
must be complied with strictly in use
of these passes, and the railroad COM
pany and pass holders are mutually
liable, it is said for violations. Ac-
companying each pass Is "a circular
letter explaining the limitations OF
the fass. Any pass issued by rail
road in Oregon is not good for any
portion of an interstate trip. The
provision covering this point says:
persons holding pass good in one
state and desiring to go into another
state, is obliged to purchase q. through
ticket, from the starting point to des-
tination. A fine of not less than 500
nor more than $1,000 may be imposed
by the. court for. violation of this pro-
vision"
In other words, pass holder who
wished to travel from Portland to
Redding, Cal, even to a point one
mile below che state line, cannot use
his Oregon pass as far as Ashland,
and, there buy a ticket to Redding
He must purchase at Portland d
through ticket to Redding and pay
cash for the full distance.
Likewise, q pass holder Of the
Northern Pacific who wished to travel
on his pass to Goble and then cross
on the Northern Pacific ferry, but be
could not do SO, but he could crols

Head Hunters Kill 500 Elk.

A special from Pinedale ,Wyo., says
OF the recent slf lighter of 500 elk by
head and teeth hunters, in jackson IS
Hole:
William A. Binckley and Charles A.
Purdy, the Jackson's Hole tusk hunt
ers, are now languishing in Jail, and
will probably remain there until their
cases come up in he federal court of
Idaho next spring.
They we're recently arrested at Los
Angeles, Cal, tor Illegally shipping
elk heads and other game trophies out
of the state and arraigned before a
United States commission and held
under $1,000 bonds EACH The state
has o very strong case against them.
They we're the leaders of the gang
which has been committing depreda-
tions in the Hole country for the past
year, and it is believed the gang has
now been entirely broken up.
The true story Of their sensational
leaving OF jackson has never been
published, but it was part of a we'll
laid plan. Word was brought to Jack
son to the effect tIat noted outlaw,
on whose head large reward had
been placed, was camped on one OF
the streams in the game preserve, and
all the game wardens started out to
surround the man and make a cap
ture.
This opened the way for them to
get out. The two above mentioned
made goood their getaway with tro-
phies of the illegal hunting, but lsa-
bel and Adams, who TOOK out a
freight load of empty beer barrels for
the jackson saloon were arrested, and
an examination developed that the
beer kegs contained game scalps and
teeth.
When the wardens returned after
fruitiess hunt for the fugitives aud
found that the tusk hunters had es-
capped, it then dawned upon them
that they had been duped.
Ii is estimated that over 800 elk
we're killed by these people, and their
carcasses left to rot where they had
dropped. Fine heads are still to be
found in the bills, where they had
been cached in order that they might
be brought out later on by the offend
era.
