less he is compelled 10 visit Hot

him for several weeks.
In this letter he requests his friends

rectly home, he will stop a few days
in Coconino county, where for the past
few years ne has always spent the
first days of June fishing in the trout

early and late and secured the passage
of more bills for the benefit of the ter
ritory than any other session during
late years. Speaking of the bill intro
duced for the relief of Pima county in
the matter of the fraudulent narrow
guage bonds, Mr.. Smith says that he
pushed the bill as far as he dared, be.
fore the committee and only desisted
for fear of an adverse report during
the closing days of the session. He
writes that he is confident of ultimate
ly securing favorable action on this
bill by congress, but that it was i'm.
possible at this short session.

EXPERIMENT STATION
TRIED BY FARMERS
Tests Are Being Made In Sui
phur Springs Valley,

DOUGLAS, June Especially -
While Secretary Gerhart of the
Chamber of Commerce is endeavoring
| to persuade the government TO give
us a government agricultural expert
ment station in the Sulphur Springs
valley, some of the newly settled
ranchers of the valley have been car
rying on experiments of their own.
Most of these experiments have been
gratifying and some of them have even
been surprising in their success.
A prettier sheaf of wheat is not
often seen than tie one which G. G..
King, former street commissioner of
this city, brought in from his ranch
the other day and gave to Harry Van
Allen of the BrookhiIl for exhibition in
his place. Some of the wheat was
raised on Mr.. Kings ranch, about eight
miles northwest of the city and some
was raised on a neigbbor's ranch. One
was planted last November and the
othre was planted as late as December
Both specimens were headed out as
full as could be and neither crops have
had any irrigation at all. TIE ranchers
are proud of their success and have
great hopes for developing this crop.
Another experiment which some of
the farmers are going to try this sum-
mer in the valley and which viii be
watched with great interest by all
homesteaders, is the attempt to raise
alfalfa here without irrigation. 1t is
claimed that in some parts of the val
ley there is sufficient moisture in the,
ground to support alfalfa all the year
roundif once started. The trouble is
said to be in that the young and ten
der plants won't stand the intense heat
of the sun even during the rainy sea
son. It is thought that If the plants
could be carried through the rainy sea-
son in the Sulphur Springs Valley they
will have attained sufficient root grow
tn to carry the plant through the dry
season In some parts of California
where the same conditions are said to
exist as those of the Sulphur Spring
Valley, the farmers have learned to
raise alfalfa by planting it with SOM
kind of grain so that the young plants
are shaded in the grain while growing,
and by the time the grain is harvested
the alfalfa is able to take care of itself.
This method is going to be tried By
some Of the local farmers this summer
during the rainy season and they have
great hopes for its success.
