TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS. < Lesson in Intensive Farming by R. II. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona, January l5, 1907.


 January l5, 1907.
 Just west of Yuma, Arizona in the alluvial flood plain Of the Colorado, lies a little farm of 7.2 acres which on May l, 1905, was virgin bottomland, covered with saltwecd, arrow brush and crpoSote 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 levelling, 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 Valley F. x l. Canal was obtained in the cus- tomary manner, and F. l.. Crane, himself Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was nieknamed our play farm"
 In size, 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 twent ty 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 $3.50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish ment of a farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunera.ive 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- ton, that this cultural work was planned.

The amount of labor required for the crop Itself was about i5 working days, with team 1M days. The sesbania used as green manur- ing on the west half of the potato ground was given IF irrigations. Bermuda grass, more over, flOuriShed beneath the SeSbania to such an extent as subsequently, to require g days labor for cleaning up the .45acres so fertilized. Although the larger part Of the crop came from the Sesbania fertiliZed 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, warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was levelied, ditched and boIdered at a contract price Of Sl7.2O an acre, considerably less than the average for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In cost $50. 10; lumber for headgates cost SS057; a driVewell point and pipe, pitcher-spout pump and barrel, sl345; a small lumber two-roOm house, including five and one half shelter for horses, about $5.00. Only skilled labor employed in leFeling, bordering and ditching the ground, and for part construc- tion 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, SlO0.00. In addition, in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. blow, harrow, haying equip ment, shOvels hoes and other small tools.

The labor on this crop was light, but in this case time consuming, because of inconvenient arrangements for marketing. There were en- pioyed on the crop 3l days mems time; 8 days women and boys; and days team, not other wise included.
 The crop was feTtilized with barnyard man. ure Tn about three-fcurths of the hills. and, as stated above, the stand was poor. The results of this acre are therefore conservative.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906 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 watermeions 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 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, irrigating water, and crates arc 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 to the unimprovcd condition of the soil, which, like desert soils in geEol;tl, 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 8, 1905. Young onions transplanted, Feb. go, I90G. Crop matured about June l. Yield, 1916 pounds of dry on- ions. Highest price received, 21@c pound; lowest price received, 1.Sc pound. Entire crop marketed in Yuma.

RYAN AS PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.

"A N interesting story is circulating in
a Virginia that Mr. Thomas f. Ryan, ma
tive of that state and one OF the financial mag
mates of the country, is really after the Demo
cratic nomination for President. This is the lat
est one on Mr.. Ryan. For several years it has
been suspected that the financial chief would be
pleased to represent Virginia in the United States
Senate, but the idea OF a New Yorker, an outsid-
er, standing as the exponent Of Virginia in the
highest legislative body of the country, is re-
pugnant to residents Of the old Dominion who
are strong on tradition and have their own notion
Of the fitness OF things. What Mr.. Ryan pro-
poses is probably known only to himself
No doubt he would like to be senator Few
men would reject seat in the United States
Senate. There are not many Judge Pennewills
Mr. Ryan as a senator might be feasible if NOT
more than a possibility Ryan, as a Presidential
candidate would be a different sort of PROPOSE
ton And yet there is something to be said in his
favor. For several years there has been much
complaint because the Democratic party has been
drifting from so-called old time notions. Demo-
cratic attitude towards corporations and states
rights" has been resented for instance by Demo
Gratis Of the old school.
With the mention of Mr.. Ryan as a possible
Presidential nominee, there would be a splendid
opportunity to test public sentiment and see how
many thousands or millions of voters would sup
port Mr.. Ryan and stand up for the old notions
of states rights and non interference with the
corporations as against the people Mr.. Ryan has
immense barrel. It's proportions are unlimited.
We have no doubt that Ryan clubs could be or
ganized throughout the country and the Wall
street fnancier could turn up at the national CON
ventior with large following. Indeed, MIR.
Ryan's candidacy is full of possibilities and it may
be alive with cash.

SMYRNA GIVES
AID TO TROLLEY

Chief Engineer ]. w. Endean, of the
Smyrna, Kent County and Delaware
Bay Traction Company, left Wednes-
day morning for New York to confer
with Sir Charles Drummond and his
associates regarding the early com-
mencement of construction operation
ON the through state line, says the
smyrna Times. He took with him the
endorsement of more of Smyrna q
business men than dt any time since
the trolley was talked about. Mr.. En-
deans assurance to the people Of ,Smy-
rna that the proposed trolley project
is sure so, has caused many. even
the most skeDtical. TO lend their sup-
port, and now that the deal is about
to be consummated, there seems to be
unanimous desire to have the cal
shops, depot and headquarters Of the
line located in Smyrna where the
movement was first lnaugurated
Engineer Endean being himself a
citizen OF Smyrna Is anxious to get
the headquarters here and he is leav-
ing no stone unturned TO accomplish
what he can for the people Of Smyrna
As has been pointed out the central.
izing of the company s forces in Smy-
fna viii bring about 200 families to
town, which cannot help but add TO
our material growth and prosperity.
When the subject was first brought
TO the attention of .he capitalists of
the Dundee Financial Corporation.
the question was asked why was not
IA community interest shown on the
part OF the people Of Smyrna as well
as other towns. st. Georges offered
enough inducement and showed
enough enthusiasm TO merit the atten-
tion of the capitalists and they were
henceforth assured the power station.
Mr.. Endean felt that Smyrna must
nip no or she might lose all he had
been fighting for, an1 with this end
in view he set about to interview the
buslnes men of Smyrna. The result
was that he has received most crafty
ing support on every hand. Many Of
our prominent citizens took stock and
so encouraging was the sentiment, that
he left this morning feeling satisfied
that he win be able To overcome all
obstacles and get the shops and head
offices for Smyrna. Mr. Endean eN-
