IL is a popular fallacy that ostrich farming is an industry that must be conducted on a very large scale in or der to be successful The fact is that Ostriches may well become a crop for the comparatively small intensive farmer. The ostrich business in this valley has come to stay and R 1t grows, it does so permanently The market for ostrich feathers in the United States is practically unlimited and will be for a long time if not for all time In addition to the ostrich feathers produced in this country the annual imports are between $2,500,OOC and $3,OOO,O00 and the trade is in- creasing with the population. The home grown product is but a small matter compared to the value of the feathers imported annually.

THE ARIZONA FAIR NOTES

Some of the fastest horses in the trotting and pacing world today and many of the most noted drivers in the country will be in attendance at the Fourth Annual Territorial fair. In- cluded in the entries are horses which are daily winning thousands of dollars on the tracks of the east. and although the Phoenix track now holds all track records west of the Mississippi river, there is no doubt but these record are again to be broken at the coming race meeting. Included in the entries for the free for all pace is Citation. This horse on last Wednesday. at Columbus, Ohio. broke the worlds record for pacing mares, and also the record for the two fastest miles on the grand circuit tracks this year. The second heat of this race Citation paced in 2:01Z, and the third heat in 3:O3.
 Judex, another horse which is en- tered in the 2:04 and free-for- all pace, did a mile at Columbus this week in '2:O4
 Copa De Ora, who is also entered in the free-for-all, won a heat on the grand circuit two weeks ago in 2:03A Prince c, who recently won second money in the $30.OOO race at Boston, will also be seen at the Phoenix track. and will be driven by Myron McHenry. probably the most celebrated driver of harness horses in the world today.
 Sonoma Girl, who has a trotting rec ord of 2:05A. and Richard Grafton. with a, a,recOrd of 2:04 are also included in the entries, as is also the California horse ZOlock.
 William Durfee, the California horse man who now has in the east probably the most sensational racing stable in the country, owns several of these fast ones, and will be present at the Phoe- nix meeting with his entire stable.
 Dick McMahon, who is also one of the most noted drivers in the country, will bring his entire stable to Phoenix.

OSTRICH RAISING
 BY SMALL FARMERS
This Industry Recommended as an "lntensive" Side Line.

Almost everybody living in the Salt river valley has some knowledge of the ostrich raising industry, but almost everybody except those engaged in it, has very erroneous ideas concerning it.. One particular point on which the people need enlightenment is, who may engage in ostrich farming with req sonable hope of success2 The answer is that anybody may do so who has a few acres to devote to it. and money enough to buy few pairs of chicks.
