CHAPLAIN scoTTs STORY.
Testimony of a Widely Known Army Chaplain, Church Builder, and Sue cessful Farmer.

To the Editor of The Republican,: Sir:-ScOttsdale, eleven miles north east of Phoenix has a reputation for raising fruits, alfalfa, peanuts and sweet potatoes. All have been a suc- cess. As fine oranges and lemons as can be found in the valley have been raised in limited quantities on my ranch.
 My lemon trees ten years old, netted me s. per tree this year: the orange trees about s6 per tree. One hundred trees to the acre can be planted. This tells it's own story. I have raised all kinds of deciduous fruits successfully. I have raised peanuts by the ton that brought me six cents per pound. They were planted in rows between my trees when they were young, not interfering with the trees. The irriga- tion of the nuts was benefit to the orchard. I planted the Virginia va riety. The nuts, while not as good as those planted, were well filled. fine favored and of good commercial quail ity. They paid me well for the rais ing and were a success. The soil was dry. rich alluvial sandy loam, and especially adopted to ;heir culture.
 I have raised sweet potatoes. plant ing one row between trees. that canno: be excelled anywhere. in quality or quantity. they were the Behmuda va riety The potatoes were large. crisp and sweet. They were free from strings, and cooked mealy and dry. I dug whole rows giving me sack Of 1C0 pounds of merchantable potatoes to the rod. besides a number of large overgrown unmerchantable ones that were ted to hogs. If the same ratio could be maintained in quantity, when planted by themselves, taking up all of the ground, they would yield over thirty tons of merchantable potatoes to the acre. This year planted few rows in my garden not covering over an half acre and sold over seventy dollars worth, had all that two families could eat. gave away several sacks to friends, preserved six sacks for planting. Owing to too high fertilization the year before l did not raise more than one half the quantity per acre that l had done previously On practically virgin soil. I know of no vegetable crop that will bring bet ter returns.
 Melons, cabbage. cauliflower, toma toes, and all kinds Cf vegetables, except Irish potatoes. grow to perfection. made a test one year by giving the use of land. water and the crop to an experienced Swiss gardener for ex- pertinent and was surprised at the splendid results.
 Large quantities of vegetables were

sold during the summer and l took into Phoenix and sold after the 18th of December over two tons of tomatoes that brought me three cents per pound. These were raised on less than one half acre of ground.
 I now raise grain and alfalfa (the magnificent crops and promise of abundant harvest show for them selves) and devote most of the hay and feed to feeding my dairy COWS and young cattle. With water condi- tions under government management as at present. one can be assured of raising eight tons of alfalfa per acre for the year. and pasture the lands for three to four months beside. rent my place to men who know how to ranch and to dairy. and reserve the corner where I have lived for twenty years. and stay there. and am contented. because I believe it Is the best place for a home. climate and productive farming I have ever seen or known.
