Some Tomatoes.

At Bacum, in the Yaqui delta, a week ago, THE OASIS editor visited MT. Elmer Anderson, and was shown over his tomato plantation. The gentleman has forty hectares (nearly 100 acres) all planted to tomatoes, that are growing luxur- lantly, and are bearing now. Be- side that there are about fifty acres that have been planted by other farmers in the vicinity, who will dispose of their crops to Mir. Ander- son. Shipments have commenced already, and the tomatoes are go- Ing forward in small lots already. Tn March they will reach the mag. nltude of carload lots. The market IS In the United States, in Los An gteles, Kansas City, St Louis, and elsewhere; and from this time until way or June the only source of supply to those markets will be u TnlS plantation in the Yaqui delta. hecent frosts in California have seV pack tomatoes so none will be M the market before the middle of way MT.

The ontsgots Experiment Station.

Last week TIE OASIS man visited the agricultural experiment station established by the Richardson Con- struction Company at Ontagota, in the Yaqui delta, and found the superintendent greatly interested in the work in hand, wherein he has been engaged several months, and has accomplished some very gratifying results. Upon an area of land not exceeding half acre Mir. Latham has planted and raised successfully two or three crops of many different varieties of veget- ables, all of which have proved of excellent quality and have attained prodigious growth. Tomatoes, cab bages, cauliflower, turnips, beets, peas, and many other varieties of vegetables grown from selected seeds imported from California and Georgia, where their growth was remarkable, have done much better and made a far more remarka ble showing at Ontagota. One of the remarkable growths has been that of the "coloraba" very sueculent and delicious vegetable that in California or Georgia grows to about the size of small orange. At Ontagota MT. Latham has grown them as large as the pomelo (grape frult). Carrots, turnips, swiss shard, kale, asparagus, celery, cele- rina, and many other vegetables in great variety are growing in the beds at the experiment farm. While experimental, the work has not been proftless. From the half acre of ground which embraces the beds there has been shipped and mark eted produce which has yielded many dollars.
 One of the most important ex- periments in hand Is that Mir. Latham has undertaken with re- gard to eucalyptus trees. From the seed he started in boxes a large number of different varieties. The young plants were taken to Onta- gotta and transplanted there to the beds where they are thriving wig Orously. In due season they will be transplanted again to various parts of the valley where their growth will be noted carefully and recorded, to determine the best conditions among the various local lties and the best results from the different varieties of trees.

To pick and pack the tomatoes he has engaged large force of Chinese. He has now about 4 score at work, and this week he has engaged another twenty, who will be on the ground early next week. As the season advances more Chinamen will be put to work, and the crop harvested as it natures. Each tomato is wrapped in a large piece of tissue paper and placed in a basket which holds five pounds of the fruit. The tomatoes are SO large that few fill a basket Four such baskets fill a crate. Just as they are ripening the tomatoes are picked, packed and shipped. With in few days the express company lands them at their destination in prime condition; and at this season they command top prices.
