Prosperity. of the Farmer

This year we will raise 3.O0,-
100000 bushels of corn. 1t is
hard to realize what that means,
says a writer in Success Maga-
zine. It is a harvest greater
than even the bumper crop of
1906. These three billion BUSH
els will be worth to the farmer
oyer billion and IL half dollars,
or oyer three. times A4 much as
the corn was worth in 1890. Last
year the value of all farm pro-
ducts in the United States was
almost $8,0O0,000'O00. This year
| SO, 900, 100000. This is more
than the entire wealth of Ameri-
ca in 1850. In 1850 the farms of
the United States were worth
less than $1,000, 900, 900. Today
they are worth $28, 100000, 600.
Every day the farms of the coun
try are worth So, $40, 900 more
than they were worth the day
before.
It is IL good thing for the peo-
pie at large that the farmers are
getting their share Of the gen
eral increase in wealth. The
IS, 900, 0OO,0 900 that they get each
year amounts to only 500 apiece
when it is distributed among all
the farmers and farm laborers in
the country. But this per CAPT
ia amount is growing and is
bound to grow still more.
During the next twenty years
we ere going to see a great rev.
olution in farming. Agriculture
is to more intelligent and more
intense; new plants are to be in
troduced, better use is to be
made of the land, and an acre
will produce twice as much as it
now produces. The benefit of
this new production should not
be mopolized by railroad compa-
MES, elevator companies and
harvester trusts. It should show
itself in better food, clothing and
housing and in more wide spread
education for the great mass of

Government Whitewish.

Whitewash as used by tho
government is prepared as fol
lows: Take one-half bushel of
unslaked lime, slake it with boil
ing water, cover during process
to keep in steam; strain the
liquid through fine sieve or
strainers, and add to it q peck of
salt previously dissolved by soak
in warm water, 8 pounds OF
ground rice. boiled to a thin
paste and stirred in while hot,
one half bushel Spanish whiting
and one pound clean glue previ.
ously dissolved by soaking in
cold water and then banging
over slow fire in small poi
hung IN u larger one filed with
water. Add 5 gallons hot water
to the mixture; stir well and let
it stand a few days, covered
from dirt. It should be applied
hot, for which purpose it can be
kept in kettle or portable fur
mace. The east end of the White
House at Washington is embel-
lished by this brilliant white
wash. 1t is used by the govern
ment to whitewash lighthouses.
A pint of this mixture properly
applied will cover one square
yard, and will be almost as serv-
iceable as paint for wood, brick
or stone, and is much cheaper
than the cheapest paint.-Pub-

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson In Intensive Farming by
r ii. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station
University of Arizona,
In,nn1nrrr IL INflI


January is, 1907
just west OF Yuma, Arizona. in the alluvial
food plain of the Colorado lies a little farm
OF ~ acres which OF May /, 1905, was virgin
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 EX pertinent 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 lo2 palms, was
completed.
THE PLAN OF WORK.
Recognizing, however that a farmer with
his living TO make meantime cannot afford
to walt for an orchard to come into bearing,
it was planned to plant crops for quick re-
turns between the tree-rOUS thus putting the
work on a 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
! Valley i. & l. Canal was obtained in the GUS
| tOmary manner, and E. l.. Crane, himself n
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 OPP
posite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing crops Of the region ave alfalfa,
corn. barley, and fOrageS i'll general, cO1npar;i-
| 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 $50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
| of expense in connection with the establish
| ment OF 81 farm in this region, intensive crops
| of 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.
