TRUCK GARDENING
 AND WAIER NEEDS
A Further Interesting Discussion of Very Timely Question-Gxperiences of John Schlalos, an Experienced Truck Farmer.

To the Editor Of The Republican Sir: Taking notice of a communica- ton to The Republican on the subject of Truck Gardening and Water Needs" and after due study of another article on the same line in a last weeks paper, I cannot refrain from saying a few words in regard to some statements that are if nothing else, misleading and apt to create a feeling of uneasiness among present and es- pecially prospective tillers of the soil and water users generally.
 In the first place. 1 want to state that l have been engaged in flOri- culture and truck gardening for the last twenty years in this valley and in California. The last seven or eight I have lived here and five years of the time was gardener at the territorial asylum for the insane. The rest of the time 1 have been gardening on my own responsibility and should be able to know whereof I speak.
 was told again and again that to run a truck garden successfully. one would have to have a run of water at least every four days and would there four 70 be located under the Dutch ditch, or where one could get water out of two canals. At the asylum. as we'll as on my present place on the Yuma road between Ninth and Thir- teenth avenues. l have had water only

while it will endure the hardest kind of service. Again. extremely dainty effects can be obtained by the use Of lace medallions and the like.
 The hat is made in one piece. that is to say. the crown and the full brln are cut in one. IL allows a choice or single or double brim and when the double brim is used it means an addi- tional circular piece which is arranged under the outer one. There is a casing applied round the crown and in this casing tapes are inserted that draw the fulness up to the size of the head and which allow of laying the hat out perfectly flat when cleansing is nec- essary. The ribbon is simply passed round the crown and bowed in any way that fancy may suggest.
 The quantity of material required for the medium size is 3-4 yard 27 inches wide when one brim is used. 1 1-2 yards when two brims are used. 6 3-4 yards of lace for frills and 3 yards of ribbon for the bow and band.

567o Girls One Piece Hat, One Size.
 . ONE-PIECE HAT 5670. ......

The hat that is truly washable one is the most practical of any in lingerie and has a certain dainty charm tht
 renders it extremely effective. Here is one that is absolutely simple, yet smart and altogether chic in effect and which can be opened out flat and laun-
 dered without the least difficulty. In these days when the young girls and the young women all dress alike 1t Is suited to both and can be worn at any age from eight or ten to grown girlhood. In the illustration the ma terial is embroidered linen which is trimmed with little frills of Valencien- nes lace and with ribbon but there are many possibilities to be found in the design. A great many mothers like to do the needleWork themselves and 1t is quite easy to have a pattern stamp ed on linen and to embroider as elab- crate a brim as one may like, or again plain material can be used with in serts of embroidery or lace making the trimming and. indeed, almost any combination of washable materials can be used that may suggest itself to the individual fancy. For the younger contingent. fine French pique with simply scalloped edges is exceedingly dainty and exceedingly fashionable.

once in eight days. How I succeeded at the asylum the record of the board or control will show if you take the trouble to look it up-a yield if re- member right, of sl735 off a five acre patch of heavy adobe soil. How I am making out on an eight days run. visit to my place will show you.
 am growing all kinds of truck. like the Chinese gardeners under the Dutch ditch who have a four days run. and not merely strawberries or cantaloupes or one single thing I can bring you onions weighing from one to two pounds which have had no more than an average watering of once in two weeks.
 My contention has always been that too much irrigation and too little cul- tivation is done. By cultivation mean stirring the soil after each ir- rigation to retain the moisture just i'm parted. l would rather have a small head of water for longer time. say from twelve to eighteen days. than big head at short intervals which I would have to rush through and not give time to soak in and down. My princi- pie is to get the water deep in the soil and let the roots go after it. Keep the moisture there by cultivation and your plant roots will not dry out with the five inches of top soil if you are not able to apply water again in four or eight days.
 If you will take the trouble to visit my place. l can show you tomato plants from which I am picking now that have not had any water for three weeks. Beets, carrots, parsnips etc. have been without for more. These of course. will have harvested in a week or two. before they need water again. Last year I grew cantaloupes with ir- rigation at three week intervals af- ter they began to run. and some did
Arizona republican., 1907-06-26

nol get any water at all after they l had attained a growth of from three to four feet. and am doing the same thing aga.n right now.
 If our gardeners and farmers would take little time to study the methods oi Prof. Campbelrs dry farming sys- tem they could learn a whole lot of things even if that system as a whole Is not practicable under the conditions in the Salt River Valley, but by all means don't let yourselves be scared into the belief that your farmer. fruit grower. strawberry grower and truck farmer must have water every four five. six or even eight days. Of course different soils require different treat ment.
 l have. as my customers will testify, as fine strawberries as any grower in this valley. excepting perhaps. the Hall Brothers. which have never had water more than once in eight days and not even that, for I wanted to see with how little water they would do well, make strong plants and a good crop.
 This brings me to another question. Giving due consideration to the verac- ity of Mir. Chambers and your report CT. in a recent strawberry article, fail to see the logical point in the statement ascribed to the former. that he cleared s1122.20 off three acres of strawberries when he uses the water allowed by the law for fifteen acres. on the three acres alone. 1 will tell hnt fri aft f,, puts it. He is a professor in a horti- cultural college and very much inter- ested in this valley. correspond with him and send him clippings from our papers from time to time. with other facts that might be of interest to him. This last must have been puzzle. for he wants to know-you may guess where he halls from by that After referring tO this article he says: How can you acquire water for fifteen acres and only cultivate three. as I understand from your last letter you can only get water for as many acres oi land as you have under actual and beneficial cultivation. It seems to me that doing otherwise is not only not in keeping with the spirit of the reclama- ton act, but in violation of the law and rules. I further take it that land is worthless without water Thus it seems to me that MT. Chambers in se- curing his profit of s1I222O on three acres at the expense of the other twelve acres not under cultivation for want of water. which would be a very small profit for the whole I wish you would explain in your next letter."
 Maybe some of your readers will ex. plain this for me
 Respectfully yours,

COUNTY SUPERINTEN.
DENT OF SCHOOLS.

There Is not an Office in the coun-
ty that more directly effects all the
people than Superintendent Of
Schools. Our people combatted gu.
pervision for years, principally on the
theory that an incompetent or indli-
ferent supervisor would demoralize
the schools worse than under the old
system. No mistake was made In
the selection OF the present superin.
tendent. The full work OF revising
and systematizing the schools came
uncer his supervision and under his
able guidance the initiatory OF
splendid system was insugurated.
L. will take toll and executive ability
to complete Il. No man could have
accomplished more IN the limited
time In organizing the schools OF
Bates county into compact work
Ing machine for the education OF the
youth. Prof. Ives has displayed
marked executive ability and wonder
ful energy In the work. He has
brought the teachers into closer
touch, aroused a greater interest,
and has induced the patrons OF the
school to take interest and work in
harmony with the teacher. Itwould
be a calamity to the schools OF Bates
county to make a change In superin.
tendent for the next two years, until
the system so carefully planned Is
fully worked out and established.

Why Interest Rates Rise.

The idea that the money question
was settled forever by the campaign
Of 1S96is disproven by the constant.
ly increasing discussion OF the SUBJ
ject.
Certain facts are obvious.
First-the supply OF money has in.
creased one hall since 1896.
Second-It takes on an average
$132 to buy now what one dollar
bought then. That is, the value oil
money has fallen and prices have
risen.
Third-This process Is still going
on.
Fourth-The cause OF all this il
the enormous increase In gold pro.
duction, which bids fair to contih ne
for many years.
The effect of this falling value Of
money and rising prices OF property
and products Is toconstantly stimu
late business and speculation. This
with good crops, produces what we
call prosperity, and this In turn
produces q demand for money by
business men and speculators snt
this demand Is what has now RAISED
interest rates to so high q point al
over the civilised world.
Itseems at first contradictory tina
interest rates should become so higl
when the volume Of money Is 9,
great until We understand the pro
cesslby which increased supply O
money stimulates business, which 4
turn IL 90 enlarged that bushes
concerns must be constantly borrow
ing or investing more and more
thus making another strong deman,
upon the money market In which tn
interest rate naturally rises. On ahl
