THE YUMA SECTION

Within a radius df thirty miles from Yuma are perhaps half million acres of as fertile land as thero is in Amer ica
 The government is spending several million dollars impounding water at the Laguna Dam to irrigate large part of this land. Other millions have been ex- pended to make fertile the Imperial Val ley, part of this same section, all hay ing the same source of fertility-the silt laden Colorado river.
 Within few years this will be enc of the most thickly populated and in tensively cultivated regions of the Unit ed States, with soil of extraordinary fer tility and depth, with unexcelled water supply, bearing with it alluvial depos- it's constantly renewing the land, and with climate entirely favorable to the growth of vegetation, insuring early and large crops in great variety ranging from hogs and alfalfa to oranges and cotton. There can be no question as to the transformation this whole region is to undergo,
 In this connection our attention is d. rected to the thoughtless and common observation made about the intense heat of Yuma which as matter of fact is no more marked and is far less oppress- i've than that of many other sections of the United States.
 Joking remarks of this nature are, however, not only annoying to the peo- pie trying to develop this land of great possibilities, but positive and serious detraction no matter how good-humor. edly or thoughtlessly made.
 Yuma and the section thereabout is region unexcelled in agricultural and horticultural advantages and possessed of many other attractions. and needless and unjust reference and ancient eli matic jokes should be forgotten.
