The amount of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area, especially at the trahsplan ting time. One day's team work in preparing the land and about 32 days, mems time, were required to bring it through, al- though the work was not heavy and could have been largely performed by boys. The yield was low owing to the desert and unfer- tiiZed character of the soil. onions requiring large amounts of organic matter in the soil to give good results.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions, ROckytord cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham pion and Burpees Quarter Century tomatoes and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watermelons and Sundry vegetables:
 The produce was marketed in Yuma with the exception of tomatoes, which, for the largest part, were expressed to Tucson and Bisbee. The following statements for the various crops are on the basis of net cash re- turns to the small farmer who with aL aver age family of five and a team of horses is aS- suned to do the work required. as explained below. Items necesSitating cash outlay, as seed, irrigating water and crates are deducted from gross returns. Water costs an average of 90 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields in certain instances are low, clue to the unimproved condition of the soil which, like desert soils in gerofal, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loan well adapted to gardening operations, was levelled, ditched and boIdered at contract price Of Sl7. 20 an acre, considerably less than the average for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cost S60l0; lumber fol' headgateS cost S39.57: a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout pump and barrel, Sl345; a small lumber two-roOm house. including five and onehalf days carpenter hire, Sl52 75; and a brush-roof shelter for horses, about $500. Only skilled labor employed in levelling, bordering and ditching the ground, and for part construc- ton of the house, Is included in the above estimates, as the common labor required or dinariy would be, and in this case was, fur nished by the farmer himself
 To bring this ground under cultivation and make it habitabe for 8 small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore req quired a cash outlay of about S400.0O. In addition, in the average instance must be included team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip ment shOvels hoes and other small tools.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by K ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station
University of Arizona, January I5. lN07.


 Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial flood plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm of 72 acres which on May 1, 1905, was virgin boJtomland. covered with saltweed, arrow brush and creoSOte bushes. The original purpose of the tract was for planting selected varieties of date palms imported by the U. S. Department of Agriculture from the Old World. The EX pertinent station, May 2 be- gan preparing the ground and on May 20 the work of leveling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN OF WORK.
 Recognizing, however, that a farmer with ms living to make meantime, cannot afford to wait for ap orchard to come into bearing it was planned to plant crops for quick re- turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the work on a feasible basis from the small farm er's point of view. In order to econOmize ground the irrigating borders were so placed as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted The tract was divided by the borders into lands, for the most part one-half an acre in size. lrrigating water from the Colorado tOmary manner, and k. l.. Crane himself a Yuma Valley farmer, Gndertook the care of what was nicknamed our "play farn."
 In size. as well as in the intensive character of the work planned, this "farm' is the op- poSite of the average holdings of this locality. The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa, corn. barley, and forages in general, cOmpara- lively little attention being given to vege- tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling land in this region is high, rarely falling be- low twenty dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, ex- elusive of maintenance, of the Government irrigating system now under construction will be about $50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish ment of a farm in this region intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects Of the general SitnO- ton, that this cultural work was planned.

The labor on this crop was light, but in this case time consuming, because of finconvenient arrangements for marketing. There were em- ployed on the crop 3l days mems time; days women and boys; and days team, not other wise included.
 The crop was fertiliZed with barnyal d'man- ure in about three-fcurths of the hills, and as stated above, the stand was poor. The results of this acre are therefore conservative.
