PROFITABLE GARDENING-Some
of the stories of the productiveness of
the soil of the Salt River valley are
marvellous but all of them aer well
Mr.. Mitchell, who is
living on a tract of land in section
% northeast of the city is engaged in
raising cucumbers this year. When
the vines got to bearing right he
found that the increase per day was
400 pounds. That is no guess work
for he is actually gathering 400
pounds a day and selling them at
eight cents q pound. All of this comes
from an acre of ground and it is
to suppose that this yield
will continue for at least a month. In
that time that acre will bring Mr..
Mitchell 1860. He finds a ready sale
for his crop at a single establishment.
Of course. If everybody should go
INTO the business of raising cucum-
oers there would not be enough peo-
pie in the Salt River valley to eat
them but it is not necessary for
to raise cucumbers and it
S not even sure that that crop is
more profitable than many others that
could be raised. For instance. in
he same neighborhood a man is get
ing rich off Of a row of stringbeans
100 feet long. He estimates that his
,rop which he is selling daily viii
BRING him more than $1,000 an acre in
month.
