RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, a warm, sandy loan
well adapted to gardening operations, was
levelled, ditched and bordered at contract
price of Sl72U 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 $50 10; lumber for headgates cost S39.57
a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout
pump and a barrel, Sl345; a small lumber
twO-rOOm house, including five and one hall
days carpenter hire, Sl5275; and a brush-rooi
shelter for horses, about $500. 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.
dinarily would be, and in this case was, fur
nished by the farmer himself.
To bring this ground under cultivation and
make 1T habitable for n small farmer and his
family, rs stated above, therefore required a
cash outlay of about $f00.00. In addition, in
the average instance must be included a
team, wagon. plOw, harrow, haying equip
ment, shOvels hoes and other small tools.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson In Intensive Farming by
r. II. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station.
University of Arizona,
,JanuarV IL. 1907.

Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial
1oOd-plain of the Colorado, lies little farm
of 10 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 levelling, bordering and irrgating
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,
1t was planned to plant crops for quick re-
turns between the tree-rowS, thus putting the
work 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-half an acre in
size. lrrigating wafer from the Colorado
Valley p. q l. Canal was obtained in the Gus
tomary manner, and +. L. Crane, himself y
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our play farm"
In size, 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, compar ra-
lively little attention being given to vege-
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling
t6nQ IN InlS region Is DlR0, rarely failing De-
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. To meet these and other heavy items
of expense in connection with the establish
ment of q 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 stua-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.

The amount Of labor required for the crop
itself was about Is working days, with team
lls days The SeSbania used as green manur-
ing on the west half Of the potato ground was
given II irrigations. Bermuda grass, more
over, fiourshed beneath the sesbana to such
an extent as subsequently to require . days
labor for cleaning up the 10 acres so fertliZed.
Although the larger part of the crop came
from the Sesbania fertiliZed portion OF the pO-
tatoes, this method of cnriching the soil
proved very costly, q days mans time and 5
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, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

The amount of labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the
tranSpanting 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 been largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing TO the desert and unfer-
tilized character OF the soil, onions requiring
large amounts of organic matter in the soil to
give good results.

Tho 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 Il few hills of waterme!ons
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 al aver
age family of five and team of horses is as
sumed to do the work required. as explained
below. Items neceSSitating cash outlay, as
seed, irrigating water, and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Water costs an average
of 80 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 gcEUlal. was
low i'm nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also affected yields locally.
