Young people should acquire the habit of correctspeaking and writing, and abandon as early as possible any use of slang words aud phrases. The longer you put this off the more difficult the requirement. of correct language will be; and if the golden age of youth, the proper ssason for the acquisition of language, be pass ed in it's abuse, the unfortunate victim will most probably be doomed to bad language during his life. You have merely to use the language of correct speakers and writers instead of becoming addicted to the slang you bear. But correct expres- sion cannot be learned in a day; it must be practiced continuously for years, and in youth is the time to get the habit.

During the sec- Ond season, covered by this Timely Hint there were seven cuttings with total of about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay was SPA for irrigating water.

This crop at S5 co to Sl0.OG a ton, loose, which has been the price this season. represents a cash return of not less thar Sl20.00 for the crop; but this hay was used to feed the team employed on the place proving to be more than sufficient for that purpose, since a stack of about three tons re- mains at the end Of the season.

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.

January Is. 1907.
 Just west of Yuma, Arizona, In the alluvial food-plain Of the Colorado, lies little farm Of 72 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. S. department of Agriculture from the Old World. The Experiment station, May ?. be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work Of levelling, bordering and irrigating 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, 1t was planned to plant crops for quick re- turns between the tree-rows thus putting the work on 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 F. x l. 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 iTrigating system now under construction will be about $3.5O an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of ex pense in connection with the establish menI of a farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general situa- tion, that this cultural work was planned.

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about 10 working days, with team lM days. The seSbania used as green manur- ing on the west half of the potato ground was given I7 irrigations. Bermuda grass, more- over, fiourished beneath the sesbania to such an extent as subsequently, to require g days labor for cleaning up the .45acres so fertilized. Although the larger part of the crop came from the sesbania fertilZed portion of the po- tatoes, this method of enriching the soil proved very costly, ? 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.

EXCLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was levelled, ditched and boIdered at a contract price of Sl7 2D an acre, considerably less than the aN craze for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition, barhed wire and posts for fencing cost S60lO; lumber for headgateS cost S39. 9.57; a drive well point and pipe a pitcher-spout pump and a barrel, SIS 45; small lumber two-room house. including five and one half days carpenter hire, $l52.75; and a brush-roof shelter for horses, about $500. Only skilled labor employed In leveling, 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 8 small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required a cash outlay of about $400t0 In addition, In the average instance must be included team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip ment, ShOvelS hoes and other small tools.
 CROPS AND MARKETS.
 The crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions, Rockytord cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham pion and Burpees 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 re- turns to the small farmer, who with ar. aver age family Of five and a team of horses Is stunned 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 30 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields in certain instances are low, due to the unimproved condition Of tho soil, which, like desert soils in ger-,dl, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.
