IRRIGATION OF ALFALFA.

The Importance of alfalfa to
western farmers cannot we'll be
overestimated. A single ton of
alfalfa may save the lives Of
many head of stock by providing
feed during short periods of cold
or stormy weather. Alfalfa can
not be excelled as preparatory
crop on soils that have long been
unproductive Likewise it main
tains the fertility Of soils natu-
rally rich in plant food, and if
used as base of rotation makes
possible abundant crop yields OF
various kinds.
Notwithstanding its present
Importance and great value in
irrigation farming, the profits on
the area now in alfalfa can be
greatly increased if more care
and skill are exercised in grow
ing it.
Perhaps the most essential
conditions for the production of
alfalfa are abundant sunshine, a
high summer temperature, suffi-
cient moisture, and a rich, deep,
well-drained soil. All of these
essentials, save moisture, exist
naturally in the arid region of
the United States, and when
water is supplied it makes the
conditions ideal. Although al
falfa can be successfully grown
under wide range of soil condi
tions, yet all western lands are
not equally we'll adapted to its
growth.
How to determine the suita-
bility of land for growing alfalfa
under irrigation, as well as how
to prepare the land, is told in
Farmers Bulletin 373, ''Irriga-
ton of Alfalfa" recently issued
by the U. S. department of agri-
culture. The bulletin discusses
the various methods of irrigat-
ing the crop and gives much
useful information in connection
Herewith.

Killed in Wreck

The Golden State Limited,
train No. 4, which left Yuma at
6:15 Saturday evening, was
wrecked three miles west of
Benson at 4 o'clock last Monday
morning, Engineer Tom Walker
and Fireman P. W. Bauer being
killed and thirteen passengers
and members of the train crew
seriously injured, thirty nine
others being slightly injured.
The most seriously injured were
brought to St. Mary's hospital,
Tucson. y
The wreck is ascrioed by S.
P. officials to striking a curve at
too high speed, the train run
ming at thirty miles an hour
when the disaster occurred.
5 p. w. Bauer was a son-in law
of Justice of the Peace j. O..
Jones of Yuma, husband of his
daughter, Elizabeth. John Jones,
his brother-ln-law left for Tue
son at once to take charge of the
funeral arrangements and to
bring Mrs. Bauer and children
to the home Of her father.
Bauer was we'll known here as
an estimable and Industrious
man, and his untimely death is
regretted by many friends. The
afflicted family have the deepest
sympathy of all in their great
bereavement.

Fiitering System
Enlarged

F. G.. Blaisdell, manager of
the Yuma Electric and Water
Company, is having the complet-
ing work done on three large
fltering basins for the Yuma
water system that are of ample
capacity, he estimates, to supply
the needs of the city for at least
fifteen years to come. These
are located in front of the COM
pany's power plant at the corner
of Main and Jones streets, and
are constructed of reinforced
concrete, strongly interlaced with
twisted steel. The work was
done by Contractor Charles o.
cester in two weeks time. There
are two settling basins, with
sloping walls, 9 feet deep, rs
feet wide and 100 feet long at
the bottom, and 45 feet wide and
lis feet long at the top, holding
100000 gallons each. The filter.
ing basin with perpendicular
walls is 9 feet deep, 25 feet wide
and 90 feet long, with capacity
approximately the same as the
others. -.---e4- ~~~-
The settling basins front on
Jones street, paralleled by Main
street, and the water is first
turned from the muddy flow of
the Colorado river into the basin
adjoining Main street. By gray
ity flow it is carried into the ad-
joining basin and then diverted
into the final filtering and stor-
age basin, clear and cleansed of
the yellow sediment of the river.
This addition to the water sys-
tenn will be ready for use within
two weeks, upon the arrival of
piping to supply the connections.
It is a most valuable adjunct to
municipal needs and equipment
and the company and Mr.. Blais-
dell are to be strongly commend
ed upon the enterprise thus
shown. With such a large force
of water as is. thus supplied the
mains and made an increase to
the adequacy of the fire depart
ment, it should result, among
other benefits, in a reduction of
insurance rates.

Baseball, in Cuba

Baseball, the most popular of
Americangames, was recently in
PRODUCED in Cuba. At Havana,
where the first game was played,
twenty thousand people watched
the sport and enjoyed it. This
large number seems all the more
remarkable because a bullfight
had been advertised to- take
place simultaneously with the
ball game but had to be aban-
doned for lack of patronage.
Let us hope that the disrepu.
table and degrading bullfght
may find its permanent success
sor in American baseball.

Yuma Valley
egoism.

The surface soils in Yuma val
ley vary in texture from nearly
pure sand to very fine loan or
adobe. The whole valley is
underlaid at varying depths by
sand which affords excellent
drainage for the surface soils.
No hardpan exists to prevent
the free movement of the soil
moistures. The whole valley is
of sedimentary origin, being an
accumulation of deposits by the
ella and Colorado rivers during
periods of overflow. In this re-
spect its origin is similar to the
famous valley of the Nile. which
has been cropped for centuries
without depicting its soil fertil-
ity. The mesa, a broad coastal
plateau IS feet above the level of
the valley, is composed almost
entirely of one type of soil, or
rather coarse sand, containing
at intervals small amount Of
lime. Seventy per cent of the
soil in Yuma valley is free from
alkali; 20 per cent contains some
alkali, but not injurious quaint
ties; about 10 per cent is sufi-
GENTLY alkaline to prevent the
normal growth of the staple
crops. Most of the alkali, how
ever, is purely a surface accu-
mutation, often being confined to
the surface one or two feet of
soil. With an open subsoil, such
accumulations are readily leach
~ed out by heavy flooding of the
land.

Parks, committeeman, and the
Southern Pacific Company are
engaged in a mutual endeavor
to side step placing a figure up
on the cost of the proposed new
sewer outfall below the South

are to jointly pay for. AS the
railroad has firmly declined to
make the preliminary estimate,
the council will, it seems, have
to do it, and the figures are be-
ing prepared accordingly.

Christmas in the Desert

Christmas, by the Inheritance
of tradition and the record of
literature, holds for most minds
the association of snowy fields
and green trees, of frosty air and
tingling breezes, of fur coats and
wooden mufi1erS, of jingling
sleigh bells and pealing church
bells, of warm wrapped and rosy
faced, laughing youths and maid
ems. For Christmas is by birth,
establishment and crystalization
festival of the frozen north,
the incarnately wintry holiday.
The Christ mass of the Latin
church was a movable fast day,
disassociated from date, incident
almost from function. There
was no concrete commemoration
of the birth of the Savior. When
the barbaric hordes of the north
of Europe gave submissive heed
to the tenets of the gentle teach
er out of Nazareth, the Catholic
missionaries found established as
the chief festival of pagan rites
the December day set apart
as homage to the rude
deity Wodin-Yule-tide. With
the sage and polite adaptation
and ignoring of superfcialities
characteristic and constructive of
the early spread of the Catholic
faith, the supplanters Of the
heather worship gave to the
established date the name Christ
mas, thus Immediately assuring
its popularity and jealous OBJ
servance. So Christmas became
inherently festival of the SHOWS,
with appropriate attendants,
down through succeeding ages.
Here in the dun, grey land of
no snow, little rain, perpetual
sunshine and faint.clouded skies,
the century encrusted and his
tory-enshrined customs are vi
tiated, the climatic and elemental
conditions are wanting, the
memories dim, the transplanted
traditions faccid; the vigor and
spirit of the festival Of its birth
soil bUt family echoed. Yet
there remains, besides the form
al and established Identical cere-
monial, the real, true essence of
Christmas, the precious, world
wide and boundless joy of giving
and receiving, of heart-reaching
extension of good will and fellow
ship to all men that is the vital
izing spirit of the holiday. So,
though we move throughout the
day set apart to Him cruci6ed
with wonted placidity and seem
ing Indifference, we are still
swayed by its eternal dominance
and moved to cast aside, for this
one day if on no other, all self
ishness, disdain and heart-locked
egoism.
