Proper food ventilation and dry, warm

autumn, winter and spring, the chances

be slight. But the ordinary light cold
will become severe if neglected, and a

LARGE ADDITION TO
CALIFORNIA FOREST.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The
president has just signed a pro
clamatiOn creating additions
amounting to nearly 600, 900 acres
to the Modoc national forest in
northeastern California. With
the exception of a small area in
the northern part of Lassen
county, all the lands put within
this proclamation are situated in
Modoc county. The exact area
of the additions is $4,000 acres,
which brings the total area of
the forest up to 859,018 acres.
The land proclaimed a part of
the MOdoc forest will be put un-
der administration at once, with
Supervisor G. E. Rachford, whose
headquarters is at Alturas, Cali
fornia, in charge. The additions
to the forest have a stand of val
liable yellow piney which will
amount to several million feet
and will average $4,000 feet to
the acre. There is little or no
agricultural land in the addition.

Measuring Hay in Stacks.

To find the number of tons in
long, square stacks, multiply the
length in yards by the width in
yards, and that by half the alti-
tude in yards. Then divide that
by fifteen.
For circular stacks multiply
the square of the circumference
of the stack in yards by four
times the altitude in yards and
divide by two. The quotient
will be the number of cubic
yards. Divide by fifteen for the
number of tons.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by
r. II. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station.
University of Arizona,
January Is. 1907,

Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluyial
! food-plain OF the Colorado, lies a little farm
of 10 acres which on May l, 1905, was virgin
| bottomland, covered with saltweed, arrow
| brush and creosOte bushes. The original
! purpose OF the tract was for planting selected
| varieties of date palms imported by the u. ).
Department of Agriculture from the Old
| World. The Experiment station, May 2, be-
gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the
! work of levelling, bordering and irrigatng
the tract and the planting Of l52 palms, was
| completed.
THE PLAN OF WORK.
! Recognizing, however, that a farmer with
! his living to make meantime, cannot afford
| to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,
| it was planned to plant crops for quick re-
turns between the tree-rowS, thus putting the
work on q feasible basis from the small farm
| er'S point OF view. In order to ecOnomize
ground the irrigating borders were SO placed
| as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre in
| size. lrrigating water from the Colorado
| Valley =. & !. Canal was obtained in the Gus
| tomary manner, and K. l.. Crane, himself a
| Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our play farm"
In size, as well as in the intensive character
| of the work planned, this farm" is the op-
pOsite of the average holdings of this locality.
| The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa,
corn, barley, and forages in general, compara-
lively little attention being given to vege-
| tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling
| land in this region is high, rarely falling be-
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams Moreover, the cost, eX-
elusive of maintenance, of the Government
irrigating system now under construction
will be about $3.50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
of Expense in connection with the establish
ment of farm in this region, intensive crops
of a more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly,
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general situa-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.

Alfalfa; l.70 acres: This was sown May Is,
1905, yielding three cuttings of about five tons

was S224 for irrigating water. The labor re-
quired was, mans time, IA days and team

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loan
we'll adapted to gardening operations, was
levelled, ditched and bordered at a contract
price of $l72U All 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
a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout
pump and a barrel, Sl345; small lumber
two-roOm house, including five and one half
days carpenter hire, Sl5275; and a 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 1T habitable for a small farmer and his
family, as stated above, therefore required q
cash outlay of about Si00.0O. In addition, in
the average instance must be included q
team, wagon. plow, harrow, haying equip
ment, shovels hoes and other small tools.

The amount of labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the
transplan ting time. One days team work in
preparing the land and about 30 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.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906
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 an aver
age family of five and n 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 geEvIal, was
low in nitrogen and organic matter Some
small salty areas also affected yields locally.

The amount of labor required for the crop
