DRY FARMING
 IN THE VALLEY
 GREAT. FUTURE
Other Parts of Territory Taking Notice of Possibilities In Co., chiSe-Sxhihit Planned For the Phoenix Fair.

According to J. J. Riggs. whose home is in Dos Cabozas. there is a budding agricultural section in Co chise county that is likely to be heard from in the very near future. says the Arizona Republican. 1t is at present in the experimental stage, and the fact of what is going on Is no secret and has been quite frequently men Jioned in these columns before it will DC news to many to know just how fast things arc moving
 Reference is male to the Sulphur Springs valley and the dry farming experiments. The valley is one of the largest in the territory and that portion of it under present consider ation runs from Douglas. on the Mex ican line to WillcOx. on the Southern Pacific railroad. it is an immense plain. fertile as most Of the Arizona soil IS where the rocks are missing. and at certain seasons of the year it is covered with grasa. IL is famous already as a grazing section. but it's agricultural possibilities have always been discounted by the fact that the annual rainfall is too small to make an effort at cropping safe. and there seems to be no natural supply of wa. ter available that can be diverted to these lands at present.
 The conditions, however. seem to be ideal for dry farming and there are lot of people who place a great deal oI faith in that coming system Of agriculture and arc willing 10 take Inc chances of practical experiments tlon. It is known b,at many home ste.lds have been fled unon in ihaf valley In the last two years. but fev, people are aware that as many ,s :, hundred families haze moved into tbc Nd4ley within the last year and arc now engaged in building homes. de pendent upon the success of dry farm ing. 1T it Should prove the success H now promises. there will he room Tor many hundreds more. So ersto. naticaily is this undertaking beinr Ioiiowed says Mr Riggs. that a dry ! ldtIllhS experiment station has h~an started about twenty miles nortt, cr DonSias and local conditions win be scientifically studied for tbe h,,,g- of all settlers. -i'i'
