took possession. this was an old run
down cotton farm. Now 1t is fertile,
we'll improved with fences and farm
buildings, and is producing crops
which yield the owner a large income
and handsome profit. All this has
been accomplished by deep and thor
ough cultivation of the soil. rotation
Of crops, industry. good judgment
and scientific methods recommend
ed by the Secretary Of Agriculture.
This farm contains 1872 acres, only
half Of which is planted in crops.
The farmer had divided his titled
land into three equal fields. on which
he raises corn. oats and cotton in
succession. Before he took the farm
it was producing only from to 8
bushels Of corn. or 800 pounds OF
cotton seed to the acre. The first
year he made It produce 1-2 bales
Of cotton and 81 bushels Of corn tc

Mines are Limltless

From the great Warren district, whence comes most of the ore for the smelters, comes the news that there seems to be no limit to the depth of it's great copper mines. The big companies have been carrying on most of their exploration work to ascertain the depths of the deposits and at 1850 feet there is found no sign of dimin- ution. while other recent discoveries have exploded old theories as to the limitation of the district and torn down imaginary barriers. With lim- itless copper mines sending ore to the smelter from the Warren-Bisbee district. with Courtland having join ed the copper shippers and possibly becoming gold camp as well. with Sonora only waiting development. the possibilities of Douglas as smelter city are nmitless like the mineral re- sources.
