Rain Everywhere But
 None m Tombstone

It looks as if old Jupiter Pluvius" was going to desert Tombstone on the rain question, while Bisbee. Douglas. Courtlsnd and the lower end of the Huschucss have had several hard rains. A rain fell few days ago in the Huachucas, beyond the Fort, that destroyed several orchards. There has been but one rain in Miller and Carr canyons and water there is lower than for years. There was 6 terrific flood in the San Pedro, caused by rains at the head waters in Mexico, on the 9th. It carried out many foot bridges and caved in a good deal of banks. Unless regular rsins fall soon the cattle in- dustry will suffer severely, even though the big cattlemen Fave shipped out thousands of head,

Boosting Arizona
 Is Colonel Pickett

Colonel H. L. Pickett of Tomb stone, who e visiting Los Angeles, sad yesterday:
 Arizona is prosperous, and it eiti- zens very happy in the thought that the territory will become & state dur ing the next congress. Of the latter fact there can be little doubt. ss state. hood has been promised by the leaders Of both h buses of congress
 Colonel Pickett IS very enthusiastic | over the future of the new state ol Arizona. He says it will be one of richest of the western states, as the territory now leads al the sts,ee m the production of copper. Cochise county, of which Tombs one is the county seat, produces one-fourth oI the entire output of the territory. Il is the most populous and richest county in the territory. pays one. fourth of the entne taxes of the terri. tory, and has within it's boundsrie. the great copper mining camp oi Bisbee, which is one of the larges, producers in the United States. The Copper Queen Mining company oi Bishee alone produced last month more thsn a,OOO. .O0O poupde of copper which mesns it's production during the year will be more than 100, 900, ,0Dt pounds. The c. & A. of the same camp Lac paid more than SIG 900. 900 in dividends since It began itl operations in 1901.
 You can say" said Col. Pickett "that the record of production show, Cochise county the greatest miners store house of the entire west. Tn, Tombstone mines, famous for more than 30 years for the prod duction o the precious minerals. are still b eine operated. and are producing, and want also to say that Tombstone hsl the finest climate, the purest vstel and is the most beautiful city 1T Arizona.
 | "But Arizona has, in addition {, her mineral resources, some of tn, finest agricultural lsnds west of tn Mississippi river. With the comple tion of the Roosevelt and Yuma, 0 Lsguna, dams, more then 10000 acres will be put under irrigation, upol which can be grown me fur or fiv crops 6 year, which will add greatly t the wealth of the new State of hri zona. There is already sugar .sctcr at Glendale, in the Salt River valley near Phoenix, that is turning out carload of sugar day. In fact a cal produce almost anything in Arizon that can be produced anywhere" | According to the Arizona pres Colonel Pickett will probably be on of the first two United States senator to represent the nev State of Arizons I-Los Angeles Examiner.

Work Begun on
 Twin Buttes Road

Dirt is flying on the Twin Buttes railroad extension from Sahuarita to Calabasss. Monday morning W. B. Issacs, who is one of the big engineers for the Southern Pacific, dispatched the advance guard of the grading corpe to Sahuarita. There are 40 teams and nearly 100 laborers in the party. The number will be added to later and the total number of gra1ing teams vii! be 80
 With this force it is figured that there will be DO difficulty in complet. ing the required two miles by July 3l in order to secure the Sen yesrs' ex- emption from taxes on the line. The work will be steadily continued after the two miles are finished and the en. tire line is completed.
 The distance from Sahuarita to Calabasss is 39 milee, and with a big force at work it is believed ths line can easily be completed by tie end of November.

Modern Farming.

The use of the most modern meth,
DDS In farming is by no means re.
stricted to the huge ranches of this
country. III nearly every locality in
the state farmers are using traction
engines with steam or gasoline for
power to pillow and harrow their land,
We know one ranch of $50 acres-not
large for this state-on which the
blowing and narrowing is done with
20 horsepower gasoline engine. This
hauls four 14-inch gang plows and a
2-horse harrow-the equivalent of the
work of twenty horses The distance
traversed over tough soil is from two
70 two and half miles an hour. One
harrow Is placed off to the side so that
the result is a double narrowing of
the tract, 1t was considered too small
an area to warrant the initial expense
for the machine, but the owners Of the
ranch are satisfied that it will save
its cost in few years. The time is
coming when the tedium of farm work
will be laid upon machinery.

Keeping the Soil Fertile

According to Prof. Whitney Of the
Bureau Of Soil, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, a soil to be fertile
must contain q sufficient quantity of
the ash ingredients of the plants to be
cultivated, and these must be In such
soluble condition as to be taken up
by the growing plants. Soils once fer
tile are said to be exhausted when de-
prived Of such food as Is required for
plant nutrition, but rest and meliorat
ing. treatment will, In time, restore
such soils to fertile condition.
Until past the year 1850 no just
Ideas upon the rotation Of crops seem
ed to have been formed in any part OF
England.
The rotation OF crops affords time
for the disintegrating action of the at
mosphere, rain and frost to prepare
new material from the rock particles
in the soil and get 1t in form to be
used by the plant. One crop may use
up the available food of a particular
kind faster than it cen be prepared
by these natural agencies. When prop
erly managed it enables one plant tC
prepare food for another
All plants exhaust the soil, though
in an unequal degree; plants of diff
