Alfalfa; 1.70 acres: This was sOwn May IS, 1905, yielding three cuttings of about five tons of clean hay the first season. During the sec ofld season, covered by this Timely Hint, about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay was S22 fl for irrigatlng water. The labor re- euircd was, mans time. II days and team nine days, which is rather high labor require ment for this alfalfa on account of tho small size of the field under consideration, and linn ited use of machinery. This crop at g co 10 5000 a ton, loose, which has been the price this season, represents a cash return Of not less thar Sl2n.O0 for the crop; but this hay was used to feed the team employed on the place. proving to be more than sufficient for that purpose, since a stack of about three tons re- mains at the end of the season. The manure from this source, being free from Bermuda grass seed, was especially valuable for fertit- iZing a part of the crops grown.

Tie amount of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area, especially at tlfe transplanting time. One d%y's team work iff preparing the land and alyodt 52 days, men's tisae were rea1ired to bring it through, af though the work was not heavy ard could have beeH largely performed by boys. The yield was low owing to the desert and unfer- fiEiZed character of the soil onions requiring large amounts of organic matter in She 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, .lnNnarY IS. lMi1.

January I1 lWI.
 Just west of Yuma. Arizona, in the alluvial flood -pIain Of the Colorado, lies a little farm of 2 acres which on May l, 1905, was virgin bottolnland, covered with saltwced, arrow brush and crcosote bushes. The original purpose of the tract was for planting selected SSricties of date palms imported by the U. S. Depart1nerlt of Agriculture from the Old World. The Ex pertinent station, May Z, be- gan preparing the ground, ana on May 2O tne work of Ieve1iing, bordering and irrigating the tract aud the planting or l5z palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN CF WORK.
 ReeoRnizing however, that 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 trce-rOWS, thus pFattlng the work on feasible basis from the small fitrin- CTS point of view In order to ecOnoEniZe ground the irrigating borders were so placed as to coincide with the rows or palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into lands for the most part one-half an aere in size. lrrigating water from the Colorado Valley F. & l. Canal was obtained in the CuS- tomary manner, and r. l.. Crane, himself a YuIna Valley farmer, undertook the care ol Wbat was nicknamed our play farm"
 In size, as well as in the intensive character of the work planned, this farm IS the op- uoYjte of the average holdings of this locality. The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa corn barley, and forages in general eompara- lively little attention being given to vege- tables ana IrultS. " iGiatf @nc COsC Oi S. S 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 constractlon will be about S3.00 an acre annually Tor ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of ex perSe in connection with the establish fnent of farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those row in Vogtie, are essential. It was partly therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general sltua ton, that this cultural work was planned.

 TIle crops selected for tue season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda otljsy.ss ROcAyfOrd cantaiOupeS, Dwarf Cham pion and Burpee'S Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides a few hills of waternelois5 ard sandry vegetables.
 The produce was marketed in Yuma with She exception of tolhatoes, 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 farrfeY, who with aL aver age family of i've and a team of horses is as sumed to do he work required. as explained below Items nccesStating cash outlay, as seed irrigating water, and crates are deducted from gross returns. Water costs an average of 50 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields in certain instances arc low, due te the unipgpfovcd condition of the soil, which, like desert soils in geIc~idl, was iow in nitrogen and organic matter.

mEcLAMhr1ox OF THE GROUND.

The soil Of our tract, a warm, sandy loam well alapted to gardening operations, was leve!led, iitched and bordered at contract price of Sl7 20 an acre, considerably less than the aI erage for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. Ill addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cost $50. 10; lumber for hcadgateS cost SS9.J7; g drive well point and pipe, pitcher-spout pump and q barrel, sl3.45i a small lumber two.room house. including five and one half days carpenter hire. Si52.75; and a brush-roof shelter for horses, about S500. Only skilled labor employed in ievelling, bordering and (;itehing the ground, and for part construc- tion of the house, is included in the above estimates, as the common labor required or Cfinarily 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 S4O0,N. In addition, in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip ment ShoYels hoes alrd other small tools.

AN ASSAULT CASE IN WINTERPoRT,
William E. Baker was brought to the Coun-
ty Jail last Sunday by Deputy Sheriff C.
F. Drake 1t is claimed that Baker had
been at work about four years for Mrs.
Emma Curtis of Winterport, who is wild
ow about so years old and owns a large
farm we'll stocked There had been no
trouble between them so far as is known
until last Saturday forenoon, when it is
claimed, that Baker, who had been shaving in
the kitchen, suddenly seized a pair of
shears in one hand and started towards
Mrs. Curtis, grabbing her clothing near the
shoulder and threatened to kill her and
then himself Mrs. Curtis Wrenched her
self away by tearing her dress and sfled
through door and thence to a field near
by, where her nelghbOr, G. II. Clements.
and a son, were at work. 1t is also claimed
that Baker was seen by them to pursue Mrs.
Curtis short way with razor and then
suddenly turn and flee to the nearest woods,
beyond severe nervous shock yet it is un-
certain what might have happened had she
been frail woman and assistance not near
at hand. The neighb0rho0d were at once
aroused and Deputy Drake sent for and
search made for Baker. He came out Of
the woods and went to Frank Clark's, one
OF the selectmen of the town, practically
giving himself up, and claims to know moth
ing that transpired from the time he was
shaving until he found himself living face
down In the woods that afternoon. A war
rant has been taken against Baker for as
sault with intent to kill, and hearing will
be held at the Police Court next Satur-
day forenoon, If Mrs. Curtis recovers from
her nervous shock sufficiently to attend.
Baker is AZ years old, wid0wer, having
one child.
