Until the last of June this crop required but little labor. During the shipping season, however, four persons were employed on about half time in picking, packing and ship fog the crop. The entire labor requirements 1nr the crop were, mems time, S5 days; women and boys, 3S days: and team 10 days, the heaviest demand upon labor being during Inlv Dwarf Champion aud Rurprp'S Quarter Century yielded about equally well both be ing Of the dwarf buShv sorts best adapted to this climate.

 sl5.e5 s,5ss Alfalfa; l.70 acres: This was SOW q. May Is 1905, welding three cuttings of about five tons of clra'; hay the first season. During the Sec- ord ae;ason, covered by this Timely Hint, there were seven cuttings with a total of about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay was S22.il for irrigating water. The labor re- quired was, mans time, IA days and team nine days, which is rather high labor require ment for this alfalfa on account Of the small size of the field un der consideration, and linn ited use of machinery. This crop at 8 co to Sl0.00 ton, loose, which has been the price this season, represents cash return of not less than sl2oOO for the crop; but this hay was used to feed !hc team employed on the place, proving to be more than sufficient for that purnose, since stack of about three tons re- mains at the end Of the season. The manure from this source, being free from Bermuda grass seed, was especially valuable for fertil- izing a part Of the crops grown
