CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart or this big valley, which
Is some twenty-fouT miles long and in spots
ten 10 twelve miles wide, down ON the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were cutting a crop OF alfalfa on this ex-
perimcntal farm, and for seven consecutive
months they will cut succeeding crops The
only months when the crop is not cut here are
December and January
Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest
luxuriance, and this rich alluval soil will be
noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in
She whole country for dairying, hog raising
the production Of poultry and vegetables. which
one heSitates to call early or late as they will
be perennial. New potatoes will be produced
in the middle of January, tomatoes will be
ripe by the first OF March. ripe grapes will be
gathered in the early DAYS OF May, and april
cots by the middle of the same month. Chic
kenS and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes
only three or four times in whole winter
With an abundance OF green alfalfa and vcget-
able the dry and not overheated climate
prevailing in the winter months chickens are
free from the disease that make their raising
difficult elsewhere. There is no Spot in South
ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro-
duction OF corn as this valley along the Colora-
do River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter
cheese. eggs. poultry and pork to be raised on a
twenty acre farm will amaze those who have
the experience in American agricultural affairs
The winter climate around Yuma is a thing
50 intoxicatingly salubrious That no words can
describe IL. Those deserts of America, as we
have regarded them heretofore, seem TO defy
the Ills that human nature elsewhere IS so
prone to contract and suffer from. The atmos
phere is as dry punk, the skies cloudlessly
clear. the air mild as possible, and every
breath seems TO be an inspiration Of new life.

The United States has an experiment farm on
the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma Here
ults even more marvellous than in the valley
are produced. Down on the lower levels there
are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally
during December and January, but on the mesa
the breath of frost never touches the most del.
icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the FEEDER.
al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality.
Yuma is busy. up-to-date town. The more
modern improvements consist Of several blocks
OF attractive brick buildings. three-story post
Office building, also of brick, and many other
nice structures. Among some of the greater
improvements which are being made, are a
$3.50 school building, u s75.CO0 ice plant, q
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a
larger passenger depot and the probability of
q new court house to cost $4,000. There is con-
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili
ties of the place. They should at once erect IN
up-to-date tourist hotel 1t should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation II atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters,
and one could send consignmentS Of this Yuma
winter air to the East, the inspiration Of its
health-giving qualities would bring s5.cOO
tourists every winter to the banks Of the Colo
rndO River.
Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic
attractions in the parts of the East swept every
year by billiards and snowStorms to attract j
city full every winter. The fertility Of the val
ley below will almost make itself known with
out effort on the part of the people. But with n
valley full of intelligent and Industrious rural
population, producing fruits and vegetables.
poultry, eggs, fresh milk and fragrant butter,
Yuma should be one of the most delightful
winter resorts in all America. There is every
thing there to furnish tourists with the most
healthfnl and delicious food and il the Dir in
that region does not drive doctors to seek a
living elsewhere. it will be because the people
do not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909,
and in ten years from today the attractions OF
Yuma health resort and the fertility OF
these bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require $1,000 in cash to buy q single
acre Of it.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object OF this story is to call atten-
tion once more, and for perhaps the thou
sandth time, 10 the riches OF the soil along
the Colorado on both sides, incident TO the
depositidG of this mass Of debris during all
the past ages. Going through the country
on the Arizona side Of the river, for several
miles below Yuma, one encounters the same
type OF country and soil that is found in the
Imperial Valley country around Brawley,
Calexico and other points west of the river
The fertility Of the black prairie soils of ILL.,
nois has as:onished people engaged in agri-
culture for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility of the valleys OF the Nile has been q
matter OF history for at least COCO years. Those
who are familiar with Illinois prairie soil,
and those who know what the valley OF the
Nile is for agriculture. know that this lower
Colorado River region surpasseS both of them.
IL yo1 ask farmer along this stretch OF
country IL the soil is six feet, his eyes will
open with establishment al your ignorance.
He viii tell you no one knows whether IT. is
% feet, 6Oo or 5000 feet deep. 1t is practically
without bottom. 10 is SD thoroughly we'll
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that 1t never breaks. 1t is as
easily worked as a heap OF ashes, and re-

long neglect of the Nation to contrib
ute toward the expenditures for road
improvement is no reason why this
mistaken policy should be continued.
The chief obstacle, in fact I might say
the only difficulty, in the adoption OF
a general plan of highway improve
ment, is the lack of the money neces-
sary for the construction and mainte-
nance of improved roads. The prin-
ciple that the work of road improve
ment should be provided for more
largely out of the public funds, and
less at the expense of the abutting
owners, is finding general acceptance
as a matter of state policy, and in
many states large amounts are being
annually appropriated for the public
roads. But there is limit to the abil-
ity of the states to furnish the funds
required, and it is for this reason that
the farmers feel justified in urging
that appropriations be made out of the
revenues derived by taxing the people
of the whole country, for what is so
clearly a matter of national import
ance.

their interest, and when this has been
accomplished, bringing the influence
of their individual voters to bear on
their senators and representatives.
And it is along these lines that they
are conducting their educational cam
paign for good roads.
1t may be objected that in under
taking to assist in the improvement Of
our highways the National Govern
ment would be encroaching on the
spheres of the states, and that the
matter is one with which Congress has
no concern. I would submit that the

the real sentiment of the farmers of
every section of the country, as to the
reform which would confer the great
est benefit upon them, is expressed, 1t
will be, "Give us good roads"
1t is because of their earnest con-
viction that the improvement of our
highways would be the most effective
agency in promoting not only their
own prosperity, but that of the entire
country, that the farmers are now
everywhere demanding larger appro-
priations for the same purpose. They
believe that a part of the money
raised by the taxation of all the people
of the United States should be devoted

to assisting in the construction of bet
ter roads, and are taking action to Sc
cure the enactment of the necessary
legislation by Congress.
The initiative IN the movement for
federal appropriations has been taken
by the farmers through their principal
organization, the National Grange,
which has upwards of one million
members, with local oranges in all
sections of the country. The National
orange is organized to further the in
terests of the farmers in legislative
matters, and has for several years ia
vored the policy of national aid to
road Improvement. During the past
year 1t has perfected plans for carry
ing on a wild espread, systematic move
ment throughout the whole country,
for the purpose Of creating public
sentiment favorable to legislation by
Congress creating a national highway
commission and making liberal appro-
priations in aid of public road improve
ment. The Grange believes that the
proper method of securing legislative

The farmers have for a long time
believed that the highways of the
country are of greater Importance
than it's waterways, and that every
argument in favor of appropriations
by Congress for the improvement of
our rivers applies even more strongly
to the improvement of the public
roads. They also believe that they
are not now receiving fair share of
the money taken from them as feder-
al taxes, and that if Congress wishes
to dispose wisely of the present large
surplus in the treasury, it can not do
better than to devote at least fifty mil
lion dollars to the work of road i'm
