RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loan
we'll adapted to gardening operations, was
leVelled, ditched and boIdered at a contract
price of Sl7 2U 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 S3957;
a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-Spout
pump and a barrel, Sl3.45; n small lumber
days carpenter hire, Sl52.75; and brush-roof
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 it habitable for q small farmer and his
family, as stated above, therefore required a
cash outlay of about Si00W. In addition, In
the average instance must be included a
team, wagon. plow, harrow, haying equip
Enent, ShOvelS hoes and other small tools.

were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions, ROckyfOrd cantaiOupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes,
and alfalfa, besides a 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 AT 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, 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 ger.rs,l. 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, men IS
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.

The amount of labor required for the crop
itself was about ID working days, With team
! y days. The SeSbania used as green manur-
ing on the west half OF the potato ground was
given IL irrigations. Bermuda grass more
over, flOurished beneath the sesbania TO such
, an extent as subsequently to require % days
labor for cleaning up the .i5 acres fertilized.
Although the larger part of the crop came
from the Sesbania fertiliZed portion of the po-
tatoeS, this method of enriching the soil
proved very costly, u days mans time and 3
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
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

LARGEST Grave In tho World.

The largest single grave In the world
occupies just exactly one acre Of
ground, which is surrounded by an
iron railing. This enormous grave is
located at Pearto Cortez, in Honduras,
and is the burial place of woman.
The tombstone occupies the center OF
the ground inclosed, and several wood.
en- figures representing the deceased
are arranged in statuelike form in diff.
ferent parts of the ground. There
are no fewer than sixteen Of these zig.
ures, which in the evening give the
place n ghostlike appearance. The de-
ceased had died rich aud in her will
had specified the amount Of ground
to be purchased for her grave and the
manner in which It should be deco.
rated. She had many curious notions,
and the size and ornamentatlon Of her
grave was one of them.
