CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions. Rockyford cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham pion aud Burpee'S Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides few hills of waternelons and SundFy vegetables.
 The produce was marketed in Yuma with the exception of tomatoes, which, for the largest part, were expressed to Tucson and Bisber. The following statements for the various crops are on the basis of net cash re- tuyns to the small farmer, who with aL aver age family of five and team of horses is as stunned to do he 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 due to the unimproved condition of the soil which, like desert soils in ge.-.Aa, 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. 1906. Crop rnatured about June I. Yield, 39I6 pounds Of dry on ions. Highest price received, 21ac a pound; lowest price received, l.8c pound. Entire crop marketed in Yuma.

RECLAMATION 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 ST 2U an acre, considerably less than the aN craze for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition, baTbed wire and posts for fencing cost $50 lu; lumber for headgates cost S39.5T; a drive well point and pipe, pitcher-spout pump and d barrel, $l3.45; a small lumber two-rOom house, including five and one half days carpenter hire, Sl52.75; and a brush-roof shelter for horses, about S5 00. Only skilled labor employed in levelling, bordering and ditching the ground, and for part constTuc- 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 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 St00iN. In addition, in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip ment, shoveis hoes and other small tools.

Our German congregation cele-
brated its annual Nilsson Festival
Sunday at the church. We are pleas
ed very much to be able to state that
the attendance was very good and
the weather quite favorable. Rev.
Kleinhans, of Haven, Kansas, ably
conducted the German service in
the forenoon and Rev. Gronemeyer
preached. an English sermon in the
afternoon. A collection taken up
for home missions amounted to over
twenty dollars.
A goodly number Of people from
Atwater. and Meade came to cele-
brate with US and enjoy good So
cial communion with our folk.
Mrs. Kleinhans accompanied her
husband and renewed old acquaint-
ances. She very much enjoyed the
balmy air of our county, and wish.
ed much to be able to make a longer
stay.
Mr.. Glasshoff, of Iowa, a brother
of Mrs. Anna Winder, visited here
week and returned the fore part of
this week. He was formerly an old
settler here.
Some Of our Nye and Esther
friends came up Sunday and enjoy
ed themselves with US.
Sunday a week ago Rev. H. Gron-
emeyer went down to Optima, Okla.
to ordain and install Rev. ]. c.
Adell as missionary of Beaver coun-
ty, Okla.

School Notes

The Meade Public Schools are
we'll opened having been in session
three weeks. The enrolment is fair,
being now 1877 against total enroll
ment last year of I64. There are
several pupils to enroll this year.
The building has been put in good
condition, rooms having been paper
ed, floors oiled, seats and stoves re-
arranged and blackboards repaired.
Several new dictionaries, maps and
charts have been ordered and with a
good encyclopedia and new organ
we would feel that the school was
woll equipped for work.
We have an additional teacher
this year In the capacity of assistant
principal, which gives the Principal
much more time for supervision and
enables US TO make the high school
work more thorough. ~
Both teachers ane pupils are TAX
ing hold of the work nicely, and
when our methods and arrangements
are understood by all, the work can
go forward in an admirable way.
The change of text books and the
failure to supply the same is hinder
ing our progress some, but if teach
ers, parents and pupils will be pa
tent and do the best we eau under
the .cireamstances, all will be we'll
shortly.
The new courses of study have
not been received yet. but, from
what we know of what it is to be,
some changes are being made which
are surely in the right direction.
The course is being strengthened in
the grades-Reading, Spelling,
Arithmetic, Writing etc. Also, the
high school course is being empha-
sized along the line of English,
whichjs surely very wise thing to
do.
All hfaiong, we are very hopeful for
the Meade school for the coming
year, and cordially invite parents
and friends to visit the school and
become better acquainted with US
and our methods. Just now we ask
parents to cooperate with us in the
observance of the following rules re-
gardiug pupils:
I. Pupils are not expected to be
upon the school ground before the
ringing of the first bell in the morn
ing and at noon. This being true.
pupils need not start to school ear
lier than $3.50 a. m. aod 1855 p. m.
2. Pupils are expected to return
home at once upon being dismissed
from school. We aim to dismiss
the morning session at IL O'Clock
and the afternoon session at +:I5.
). Pupils are IT q rested to bring
written excuse signed by the par
ent or guardian for each case of alb
sence or tardiness, such excuse to
be presented on the pupils first re.
turn to school after such absence OIL
tardiness occurs.
