What Arizona Brings to the Nation.

Arizona Is not exclusively a mia.

five hundred thousand acres OF land
under Irrigation. The largest tract
OF this Hand Is In Salt River valley,
Of which Phoenix Is the center This
land Is now selling at 500 TO $500
an acre and is an excellent invest.
meat at those prices. The Arizona or
angeE are the first on the Eastern
market and bring prices that are lar
ahead Of those from either Florida
or California. This Is not merely
because they are earlier, but because
they are better. Last year Salt River
valley shipped n hundred and twenty
five carloads OF cantaloupes to the
Eastern markets, these bringing fam
cy prices because Of quality and che
iirst call in the early market.
Fruits, sugar heats. grain and many
otLer crops are important TO Arizona
but the crop of them all is alfalfa.
Here is the yield so prodigious as
to be beyond the belief of the East
ern farmer When say that two
tons 10 the acre are grown and that
ak crops are cut III a year, making
a Yield OF twelve tons to the acre Of
tile best hay in the world, the fig
ures sound unreal. But this estimate
is decidedly conservative. The hay
brings from ten 10 fifteen dollars a
ton. The returns are such tnat the
land is cheap al $500 an acre. The
result of this possibility of large re-
turns from the land leads TO the cut
ting UP Of the tracts into very small
farms and, therefore 4 densely SET

rigated lards will be cut up INTO tea

After we have contracted the habit
Of deep breathing land hard and per-
sstent was our labor to achieve it--a
medical man Of eminence comes forth
with the statement that shallow
breathing Is not only all that the
lungs require but that deep breath
Ing has distinct drawbacks, one OF
which Is the lack Of stimulation to
the brain center. When doctors dis
agree what can be expected Of the
comparatively ignorant public?
Looking at the matter calmly II
would seem as If the lack Of stilun
Iation was more than balanced by the
decrease in lung trouble. 10 be
sure we are living out Of doors more
generally than formerly, but we are
also doing many things which ex-
pand the chest aud throw back the
shoulders In my, own case have
overcome tendency to shirk, which
my doctor found in the portions OF
my lungs near the shoulder bones.
Deep breathing did that, and while
never had much fear Of inheriting the
pulmonary affection which carried OFF
several OF my ancestors, always felt
that it was intended that every cell
in ones lungs should be used.
We do not see SO many children
with STOPPING shoulders, partly be-
cause thee is more than one good
shoulder brace on the market. Wise
mothers use them as last resorts, and
compel deep breathing. If there
could only be found so easy a way OF

children-little boys and girls in
spectacles are uncanny sights, and
there are some peisons bold enough
to say that some proportion of them,

aches come from other things than
defective vision and it might be wise
to ascertain how much Is due to ex-
cessiye candy eating. Few mothers
really know how much of that thing
goes on under their very noses.
