January l5 1907
food plain of the Colorado lies Il little farm
OF - acres which on May !, 1885, was virgin
bottonland, covered with saltwced, arrow
brush and creOSOte bushes. The original
purpose or 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 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,
it was planned to plant crops for quick re-
turns between the tree-rOws, thus putting the
work on a feasible basis from the small farm
er'S point of view. IN order to ccOnomize
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. irrigating water from the Colorado
Valley u. & |. Canal was obtained in the Gus
tOmary manner, and K. l.. Crane, himself q
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our play farm"
In size, as we'll as in the intensive character
OF the work planned, this FARM is the Op-
rOsite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa,
corn, barley, and fOrages in general, compare
lively little attention being given to vegc-
tables and fruits Withal, the cost of dwelling
land in this region is high, rarely falling be-
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, eN-
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 fexpenSe in connection with the establish
mcnt of Il farm in this region, intensive crops
of a more renlunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly,
therefore, as object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects OF the general situu-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.

son-and, II possible. put in the hands OF
the members Of his class-ls Prof
Drummond's Greatest Thing IN the
World" He says that 'fn these few
words we have what one might call the
spectrum OF love. the analysis OF love.
VIII you observe what its elements are?
VIII you notice. that they have common
names, that they are virtues which we
hear about every day. that they are
things which can be practiced by every
man, In every place in life The picture
OF love has nine ingredients:
Patience-Loye siTefeth long

Gcncrosity-'Lovo enrieth not
Humility-LoFe Vaunteth not itself is not puffed
up
CourteU- Doth not behave itself unseemly'
Unselhshness-' Seeketh not her own.
Good temper-'Is not easily provoked
Guiielessness-' 1hinketh no evil
sincerity Rejoiceth not in iniquity and reioiceth
in the truth ="
AN OLD PREACH FOR NEW TINES.
Love is easier to praise than TO prac-
tice Henry Drummond practiced II.
That is why his esseay lives and glows.
Let one read along side OF II the essay
on love by Bacon. probably the greatest
essayist that ever lived. and behold the
hollowness and emptiness Of the latter.
The danger in considering this lesson IS
that the time will be given 20 illustrations
and panegyrics Of the virtue of love.
whereas II should be considered as Paul
intended 1t 10 be, as a practical life prin-

Christian Church held most worthy and
contrasted these with love. rendering the
verdict, The greatest OF these is love"

US. 1t Is the constant impact Of this hard
and cold reality which almost disheart-
ems the refOrmer. For selr-serving life
there must be substituted the
divine principle of love II is in the
Iove-flled life that Christ Is reincarnated
To live his life over again IN these days.
IS simply to embody the teachings Of this
divine programme for the new order OF
society.
