The amount Of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area, especially at the tranSplanting time. One days team work in preparing the land and about 32 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

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson iii Intensive Farming by R. II. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona, January i5, 1907.

Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial food plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm of 7.2 acres which on May l, 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 2, be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of levelling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of lo2 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 feasible basis from the small farm er'S point of view. In order 10 ccOnomize ground the irrigating 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-half an acre in size. lrrigating water rom the Colorado Valley F. & l. Canal was obtained in the GUS tomary manner, and E. l.. Crane, himself 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- pOSte 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 levellng 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 experSe in connection with the establish menJ 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- tion, that this cultural work was planned.

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about I5 working days, with team l1s days. The sesbania used as green manur ing on the west half of the potato ground was given Y irrigationS. Bermuda grass, more- over, hOurished beneath the sesbania to such an extent as subsequently, to require 23 days labor for cleaning up the 45acTes so fertiliZed. Although the larger part of the crop came from the Sesbania ftrtiliZed portion Of the pO- tatOes, this method of enriching the soil proved very costly, 2 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 careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was done in January when other work was not urgent.

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, a warm, sandy lOam well adapted to gardening operations, was levelled, ditched and boi dered at a contract price of Sl7 20 an acre, considerably less than the aN craze fer the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cost S60 10; lumber for headgates cost S3J.57; a drive well point and pipe, pitcher-spout pump and a barrel, SIS 45; small lumber two-room house, including five and one half days carpenter hire, Sl52.75; and a bruSh-roOf shelter for horses, about $5.00. 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 dmarily would be, and in this case was, fur nshed 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 Si0O00 In addition, in the average instance must be included 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 Rockytord cantaioupcS Dwarf Cham pion and Burpee'S Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides d few hills of waterInelons 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 NaGlOuS CTOpS are OH tue DdSlS OI net C6SH Ie- turns to the small farmer, who with aE aver age family Oi five and team of horses is aS- stunned to do the work required. as explained below. Items necessitating cash outlay, as seed, iTrigating water, and crates are deducted from gross returns Water costs an average of 5O 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 gec-.dl, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.

THE ELECTION MIDDLE

Publication in The Statesman Satur-

city election was illegal because of the
failure to observe the new state law in
regard to the time of opening and clos
ing the polls has created widespread
comment AS a matter of course there
are opinions and opinions regarding
the results. but the concensus is that
the election can be fought as illegal.
Just what action will be taken is still
an uncertainty.
There is no question of an entangle-
ment which will result in battle in
the courts unless the parry 6rganiza-
tions step in to effect a compromise.
The idea that all of the defeated can
didates who are holding over will re-
sign is one based upon anything but
a knowledge of human nature.
That the contention is of legal value
is fully demonstrated by the authori-
ties looked up. There are other cita-
lions in opposition and enough oppor-
tunities for briefs to make glad the
hearts of the attorneys.
There is hardly any question among
the attorneys of the law being violated
