 The government has recently had three acres put in at Indio. These were out in July and Sep. tember, and are of the varieties used in the deserts of Asia and Africa.
 Ripe dates were found on ten varieties of palms, the color of the fruit ranging from black to yellow. The Tazzizant bears a large fruit of a yellow tint that Is of very fine flavor. Some samples of the Timjooert variety. a black fruit, measured two and a half inches in length Quite the most remarkable species shown was the Tedalla, the fruit of which in five years has attain ed a growth of three inches.
 When fully grown, the date palm will carry upward of 200 pounds of fruit. The trees at Mecca have probably produced from twenty to forty pounds. Water for irrigation is furnished by artesian wells. If the trees measure up in quantity IS they do in quality, Riverside county is promised another industry that may be as great of importance as that of the cantaloupe.
 MT. Pontius has placed several clusters of these dates on exhibi- tion at the Chamber of Com. merce.

Fine Specimens from the Gov ernment Expermient Station a Mecca.
 Riverside Press-Callers at tn, office of D. w. Pontius, conner cial agent of the Southern Paci tic, this morning, become immed lately interested in a varied as sortment of ripe dates spread ou' upon his desk. Inquiry revealed the fact that these were River side county dates, secured by MT. Pontius while out at Mecca, near Yuma, in the Coachella valley, Friday and Saturday.
 There were seven different va rieties shown, and were as hand some and as pleasing to the pal ate as any African or Arabic pro duct could be.
 MT. Pontlus states that there are about seventeen acres now planted to the palms at the gov ernment experiment station. They comprise about eighty va rieties. Ther are five acres that have attained a five years growth, and there are seven acres of two year r-old trees.
 From five to ten years are re- quired to bring the trees into commercial bearing, and while it will take some years to test the matter thoroughly, MT. Pontius thinks it is reasonably certain that dates can be grown in com. merclal quantities in the Coache-

Nevertheless, the labor en- tailed could easily have been managed by a careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was done in January when other work was not urgent.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by R. Ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment. Station.
University of Arizona,
 Jantlhry 15, 1g07.

University of Arizona, Janthry 15, 1g07.
 Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial flood plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm of 72 acres which on May l. 1905, was virgin brush and creOsCte bushes. The original purpose of the tract was for planting selected varieties Of date palms imported by the U. $. Department of Agriculture from the Old World. The Experiment station, May 2, be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of levellng, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of l52 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 a feasible basis from the small farm CTS point of view. In order to economiZe 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 from the Colorado Valley P, x l. Canal was ssObtained in the cus- tOmary manner, and E l.. Crane, himselfa Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was nicknamed cur "play farm"
 Ih sizc 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, compara- lively little attention being given to vege- tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling 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 meintenance, of the Government irrigating system now under construction will be about s 50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish ment of farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore, as object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general situa- ton, that this cultural work was planned.

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, a warm, sandy lOam well adapted to gardening operations, was leyelled, ditched and bordered at a contract price Of Sl7.20 an acre, considerably less than the average for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rateS In addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cost c60l0 lumber for headgates cost S39.57; a drive we'll point and pipe, a pitcher-spout pump and a barrel, Sl345 a small lumber days carpenter hire, Sl5275; and a brGsh-Toof shelter for horses, about s CO., 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 dinafily would be, and in this case was, fur nished by the farmer himself
 To bring this grOdnd under cultivation and make it hdbltable for a small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required a cash outlay of about Si00.00. In addition fn the average instance must be included team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip ment, shovels hoes and other small tools.
 CROPS AND MARKETS.
 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions. Rockyford cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watcrlnelOns and Sundry vegetables.
 The produce was marketed in Yuma with the exception of tomatoes, which, for the largest part were expressed to Tucson and Bsbee. 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 a 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 % cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields in Certain instances are low due to the unimprovcd condition of the soil which, like desert soils in gerurd, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.
