Washington Man Says Yale
Team Is Below Blues
Standard.
BELMONT TOO LATE
IN HIS INTERVIEW
Should Have Made His Talk When
Battle Waged-CarliSle's
Coarse Work.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

a thoroughly competent Washington
critic who saw Yale beat Princeton by
II to last Saturday at Princeton, had
some interesting comment to make on
the game in AN interview this morning.
The burden Of his talk was that If Yale
does not play better next Saturday then
she did last. Harvard should win. Said
this critic:
''Princeton's defense was almost child
ish, which explained the comparative
ease with which Coy was able to go
through the Princeton line. And this 1
say without in the least detracting from
Coy's really wonderful individual work.
When Gov was taken from end and
sent IN to a back position TO carry the
ball as a last desperate resource after
Tibbott had scored for Princeton. it was
perfectly obvious that ne was the man
TO stop, and that he would be counted
upon 10 do straight plunging. In that
case, it was up to Princeton TO reor-
ganize her plans and throw out a sec
ondary line Of defense to prevent Coy
from making any great progress, even
il he did get through the guards and
tackles, hut nothing of the sort was
done.
Tigers Poor HeadwOTk.
The regular formation was main
tanned, and. when the mighty Coy once
got through, there was nothing to stop
him from making a long gain except
a miscellaneous assortment of Prince
tonians who hung around his neck as
they grabbed him going by. and these
he carried along as If they were not
there. What was needed was a man or
two behind the line who could dive into
Coy and knock him of his pins
The necessity for shifting Coy in
order to beat the admittedly weaker
Princeton team showed Yale was hard
pressed, and If the Tigers had display
ed proper headwOTk. 1 believe they
would have won or gotten no worse
than a draw. In fact, ! was disappoint-
ed in the Yale team, and did not con-
slider it up TO the Yale standard by any
means, and the forced Withdrawal of
fitzpatrick has hurt its chances. Har-
ward is reported this morning a favorite
at TO 3 in the betting for tomorrow's
game at New Haven. and the odds are
more than justified"

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract Il warm, sandy loam
well adapted to gardening operations, was
leveled, ditched and boIdered at contract
price OF $l7 % 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 SGO.lG; lumber for headgateS cost S39.5E
a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spOut
pump and barrel, Sl345; a small lumber
two-rOom house, including five and one-iialt
shelter for horses, about s. GO. Only skilled
labor employed in levelling, 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
dinariy would be, and in this case was, fur
niShed by the farmer himself.
To bring this ground under cultivation and
make it habitable for smalkfarmer and his

Alfalfa; 10 acres: This was sown May 1S,
1905, yielding three cuttings of about five tons
of clean hay the first season. During the Sec
ond season, covered by this Timely Hint,
about 90 tons of hay. The only cash outlay
was SO fl for irrigatng water. The labor re-
quired was, mans time, ii days and team
nine days, which is rather high labor require
ment for this alfalfa on account of the small
size of the field under consideration, and linn
tied use of machinery. This crop at s. 90 to
$1,000 a ton, loose, which has been the price
this season, represents a cash return of not
less thar $4,000 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 q 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 fertil-
izing part of the crops grown.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906
were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions. ROckyford cantaiOupes, Dwarf Cham
piOn and Burpce'S Quarter Century tomatoes,
and alfalfa, besides few hills of watermelons
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 le-
turns to the small farmer, who with al. aver
age family of five and team of horses is as
sumed to do the work required. as explained
below. Items stating cash outlay, as
seed, irrigating water. and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Water costs an average
of 30 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown. The yields in certain instances are
low cue to the unimproved condition of the
soil which, like desert soils in ger~Idl, was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also affected yields locally.

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 80 days, mems
time, were required to bring it through, al
though the work was not heavy and could
have been largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing to the desert and unfer-
tilted character OF the soil, onions requiring
large amounts of organic matter in the soil to
give good results.

University of Arizona,
January ID, 1907.
Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial
flood-plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm
of - acres which on May |, 1905, was virgin
bOttOmland, covered with Saltweed, arrow
brush and creOsote 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 leveling, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was
completed.
TIE; 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 q feasible basis from the small farm
er's 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-halt an acre IN
size. lrrigating water from the Colorado
Valley u. q l. Canal was obtained in the GUS
tOmary manner, and h. l.. Crane, himself a
Yuma Valley farmer undertook the care OF
what was nicknamed 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, compare
lively little attention being given to vege-
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of leVelllng
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 construction
will be about $3.50 an acre annually for ten
years. 10 meet these and other heavy items
of cX penSe in connection with the establish
ment of Il farm in this region, intensive crops
of more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general Situa
ton, that this cultural work was planned
