REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE
OF PROTECTION.

From Taft's Speech of Accept
ance.)
The Republican doctrine of
protection, as definitely an
nounced by the Republican con-
vention of this year and by pre-
vious conven tions, is that tariff
shall be imposed on all imported
products, whether of the factory,
farm or mine, sufficiently great
to equal the difference between
the cost of production abroad
and at home, and that this
difference should, of course, in
clude the difference between the
higher wages paid in this coun-
try and the wages paid abroad,
and EN- brace a reasonable profit
to the American producer. A
system of protection thus adopt
ed and put in force has led to the
establishment of rate of wages
here that has greatly enhanced
the standard of living of the Ia
boring man. 1t is the policy of
the Republican party perman-
emily to continue that standard
of living. In 1897 the Dingley
tariff bill was passed, under
which we have had, as already
said, period of enormous pros
perity.
The consequent material de-
velopment has greatly changed
the conditions under which many
articles described by the scbedu-
les Of the tariff are now produced.
The tariff in a number of the
schedules exceeds the difference
between the cost of production
of such articles abroad and at
home, including a reasonable
profit to the American producer.
The excess over that difference
serves no useful purpose, but
offers temptation to those who
would monopolize the production
and the sale Of such articles in
this country, to profit by the ex
cessive rate. On the other hand,
there are other schedules in
which the tariff is not sufficiently
high to give the measure Of pro.
lection which they should receive
upon Republican principles, and
as to those the tariff should be
raised. A revision of the tariff
undertaken upon this principle,
which is at the basis of our pres
ent business system, begun
promptly upon the incoming of
the new administration, and con-
sidered at special session with
the preliminary Investigations
already begun by the appropriate
committees of the House and
Senate, will make the disturb
ance of business incident to such
a change as little as possible.

The amount of labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the
transplanting time. One days team work in
preparing the land and about 30 days, mems
time, were required TO bring it through, al
though the work was not heavy and could
have beer largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing to the desert and unfer-
large amounts of organic matter in the soil to
give good results.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season or 1906
were Early liose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions. R0ckyfOrd can taioupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century Tomatoes
and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watcrmelons
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 le-
turns to the small farmer, who with al aver
age family of five and Il team of horses is as
sumed To do the work required. as explained
below. Items neceSSitating cash outlay, as
seed. irrgatifg water and crates arc deducted
from gross returns. Wafer costs an average
of 30 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown The yields in certain instances are
low, cue tu the unimproved condition OF tho
soil, which, like desert soils in ger-.dl, was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also affected Yields locally.

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, ~ warm, sandy loam
well adapted To gardening operations, was
leYelled ditched and ordered at a contract
price of Sl7 ~ 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 S60l0; lumber for headgates cost S39.57;
drive well point aud pipe, pitcher-spout
pump and IL barrel, Sl3.45; small lumber
two-room house. including five and one half
days carpenter hire, Sl52.75; and a brush-roof
shelter for horses, about s. 90. Only skilled
labor employed in eveling, 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
dinarily would be, and in this case was, fur
nShed by the farmer himself.
To bring this ground under cultivation and
make it habiable for a small farmer and his
family, as stated above, therefore required a
cash outlay Of about SI0000 In addition, in
the average instance must be included a
team, wagon. plow, harrow, haying equip
ment shovels hoes and other sI1all tools

The amount of labor required for the crop
itself was about 10 working days, with team
l1s days. The SeSbania used as green manur-
ing on the west half OF the potato ground was
gwen IL irri9atiOnS. Bermuda grass, more
over, flOurished beneath the Sesbania to such
an extent us subsequently to require y days
labor for cleaning up the .f5acreS so fertilized.
Although the larger part of the crop came
from the seSbania fertiized portion Of the pO-
tatoeS. this method of enriching the soil
proved very costly, q 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 a
careful farmer, rs the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by
K ri. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station
University of Arizona,
January Is, 1907.

University of Arizona,
January Is, 1907.
Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial
food plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm
OF 70 acres which on May l. 1905, was virgin
bottomiand, covered with saltweed arrow
brush and creosOte bushes. Tne 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 .. be-
gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the
work of levelling, bordering and irrgating
the tract and the planting Of l52 palms, was
completed.
TIE PLAN OF WORK
Recognizing, however, that farmer with
his living to make meantime, cannot afford
to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,
II was planned to plant crops for quick re-
turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the
WORK on feasible basis from the small farm
er'S point of view. In order TO ecOnomiZe
ground the rrigatng 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. lrrlgating water from the Colorado
Valley i. q !. Canal was obtained in the GUS
tomary manner, and l.. l.. Crane, himself a
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was ncknamed our play farm"
In size, as well as in the intensive character
of he 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, compare
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 maintenance, of the Govern ment
irr1gating system now under construction
will be about $50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
of expense in connection with the establish
menJ of q farm i'll this region, intensive crops
of a more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essent tial. 1t was partly,
therefore, an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general stua-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.
