If any one thinks that this section of the country is in anyway inferior to Glen dale loess, to the sandy garden land near town, or to the much-talked of orange land, we invite him to take a drive out the Yuma road to the Agua Fria- then north and back on the Christy road. The view he will re- ce!ve of alfalfa fields. with large dairy herds, the large stacks of hay and vast grain fields, with their busy army of headers, threshers, and grain haulers will be very convincing. It is true, to be sure that for some unknown reason We had to lose our second crop of hay that the beet growers in the more fla vored Glendale loess section might not lose their crop; and that some of the ranchers lost acres of grain that their more fortunate neighbor might raise sugar beets. Yet, we have been told that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and as we have only had the former experience. we are unprepared to argue the question. It is also true that the real estate men in Phoenix are not so deeply interested in this part of the country, so that we lack that sort of nooriety, but if any one cares to let him come and see our beautiful country, we have the goods to show.
