CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart OF this big valley, which
- 3s some tweRty-four miles long, and in spots
zen 10 twelve miles wide, down on the lower
Jevel. The results are wonderful Last week
they were cutting crop OF alfalfa on this ex-
perimental farm. and for seven consecutive
months they viii cut succeeding crops. The
only months when the crop is not cut here are
December and January.
Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest
fuKuriance, aud this rich aIluvial soil will be
noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying, hog raising,
the production of poultry and vegetables, which
one hesitates to call early or late, as they will
be perennial. New potatoes viii be produced
tn the middle of January, tomatoes viii be
ripe by the first of March. ripe grapes will be
gathered in the early DAYS of May, and april
cots by the middle OF the same month. Chic
kens and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes
only three or four times in n whole winter.
With an abundance OF green alfalfa and veget-
able the dry and not overheated climate
prevailing in the winter months. chickens are
free from the disease that make their raising
difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South
ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro-
ductfon OF corn as this valley along the Colora-
do River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter,
cheese, eggs, poultry and pork to be raised on a
twenty-acre farm will amaze those who have
the experience in American agricultural aIairs
The winter climate around Yuma is 4 thing
so intoxicatingly saIbrious That no words can
describe it. Those deserts of America, as we
bavp regarded them heretofore seem 40 e.eFF
the Ills that human nature elsewhere is so
prone to contract and suffer from. The atnos

The United States has an experiment farm on
the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
ultS even more marvellous than in the valley
are produced. Down on the lower levels there
are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally
during December and January, but on the mesa
the breath of frost never touches the most del
icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the FEEDER
al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality
Yuma is a busy Up-tO-date town. The more
modern improvements consist of several blocks
of attractive brick buildings. tbree-story post

nice structures. Among some OF the greater
| Improvements which are being made are a

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atten-
ton once more, and for perhaps the thou
sandth time, to the riches OF the soil along
the Colorado on both sides, incident to the
depositidg Of this mass OF debris during all
the past ages. Going through the country
on the Arizona side OF the river, for several
miles below Yuma, one encounters the same
type OF country and soil that is found in the
Imperial Valley country around BTavley,
Calexico and other points west of the river
The fertility OF the black prairie soils OF Ili-
1ofs has as tonished people engaged in agri-
culture for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility OF the valleys OF the Nile has been a
matter Of history for at least 5000 years. Those
who are familiar with Illinois prairie soil,
and those who know what the valley OF the
Nile is for agriculture. know that this lower
Colorado River region surpaSses both Ofthem.
II you ask farmer along this stretch OF
country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will
open with establishment al your ignorance.
he will tell you no one knows whether il is
% feet. 500 or 5000 feet deep. 1t is practically
without bottom. 1t is SD thoroughly well
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that it never breaks. 1t is as
easily worked as a heap or ashes, and re-
spoDds to cultivation in a way that is mar
