be preceded by such crops as peas or alfalfa.
 Now, when you nonce that some plants appropriate more of the salts. minerals or organic matter than do others. then we can begin to see the need of rotation of crops It is not best to make continuous planting of any one crop on the same piece of land, for by doing so you impDy- erish the soil of some one element, Keep the soil in such condition that the maximum yield of whatever crop is planted could be expected. With us the absolute necessity of soil regeneration is not SO great as in many localities. Irrigation from a river, that brings down deposits on the land. large quantities of decom- posed vegetable matter. does away 1, with. to a great exent, the necessity of regeneration. If this irrigation is properly handled this constant sup ply of silt will perhaps be in excess of the appropriation by the growing crops. To get the most benefit of the deposits from irrigation, the land should be in checks or basins, espe- cially where there is much fall or slope to the land: otherwise there would be washing or teaching of matter from the soil to more than offset the deposits.
 With us. then. it would seem that what we should most look after would be to keep the soil in condition of stacking. or in disintegrating. 90 that the roots of plants could readily pene-
 
 may be needed.
 Tt is not the object of this article to lay down any flat rules for rota- ton, but to call your attention to possibilities. If 1t is possible to get a big yield every time you plant. then why not get your mental machinery in operation and bring this about?
 Tt is claimed that where there is systematic cultivation of sugar beets that the beet crop is a clear gain. This IS determined by the increased yields of other crops by systematic rotation This would be easy of dem onstration if you care to make a test. Say that the beet crop is off in May or June. and you immediately plant the land to COW peas, cultivate the peas till the vines begin to shade the ground. then apply sufficient water for the peas to make a rank growth. say till the lst of November: then you may either pasture off your peas with cattle and hogs. or mow it and put up a big crop of hay, which is the very best of feed. Then water the land. disc we'll and drill in your wheat Now. to determine the in creaSed yield of wheat Dlant an acre in the ordinary way for comparison. It will be noticed that We can gain a year in our locality over most other districts. by growing two crops in one year. the peas filling in the short

FAIR VISITORS DISAPPOINTED.

There were a great many of the Mesa people attending the fair Thurs day. and many of them stayed over for the fireworks. They chose Thurs day because of the fireworks. and had made arrangements to remain in Phoenix over night. High school stu dents went over in several large par ties, and all were to take in the pyro- technic display. and when it was an- nounced there would be none it was great disappointment. It is a pity that it could not have been known sooner. because a large crowd who remained over night in Phoenix would otherwise have returned home

season between beet harvest and wheat planting and quite answering the purpose of alfalfa in every way. After the wheat is off the land could again be planted to peas. and blow that crop under green, and plant as early as possible to alfalfa. The al-
 falfa could then stand. say, two or three years. or till by your system of rotation the field would be again required for beets. The probability is that the next crop of wheat on this field would show noticeable gain in the yield. These three crops are especially mentioned because. first, where land is good enough for wheat it is most apt to be good

enough for any other crop: second. the beets take up much of the or ganic matter-the claim is made that few beet crops will almost rid the soil af alkali: third. the alfalfa and peas, besides being the most valu- able of all crops for feed. surpass all other known plants for supplying the much needed nitrogen.
 The scientific farmer of today is the man who is going to make ranch ing pay and he is the man who al- ways knows why his crops yield, and how much. Book farming is not taboOed as it formerly was. although it is not taken up yet to the extent 1t should be"

Probabilities Strong That Two Men May Be Asked

Suppose that next spring when the

Roosevelt should arrive IN Great Britain,

And suppose that just about the same
time the political managers should get
very busy trying to extract statements

United States.
And suppose that at the same time
william Jennings Bryan should go Off
to Britain for a little trip, while his
friends were running him for the SEN
ate in Nebraska
And suppose that some fine morning
the cables should bring the story that
Messrs. Bryan and Roosevelt had
lectured together at Oxford or Edin-
burgh, and afterward been the guests
Of honor Of the university faculty.
Well. that is the interesting incident
70 whose serious possibility the insiders
are now looking forward

ing, and to be entertained in very
