CUT sEvEN CROPS WEAKLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart of this big valley, which
is some twenty-foaT miles hong, and in spots
ten 10 twelve miles wide, down on the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were cutting a cropof ALFALFA ON this ex.
perimental farm, and for seven consecutive
months they will cut succeeding crops. The
! olly months when the crop Is not cut here are
! December and January.
| Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest
luxuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be
noted in very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying, hog raising,
the production of poultry and vegetables, which
enc 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 surssys flourish there In the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
The rainfall Is exceedingly light and comes
oriy three or four times IN q whole winter.
with an abundance Of green alfalfa and veget-
able she dry and not overLeated climate
prevailing in the wi!ster 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 Ceiora-
do River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter
cheese, egg. youltsy and p0ri; to be raised on
twcGcF-acre farm will amaze those who have
the experience ia American agricultural affairs
The winter climate around Yuma is "a thing
so intoxicatingly salubrious That no worls can
describe it, 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 as punk, the skies cloudlessly
clear, The air mild as possible, and every
breath seems to be an inspiration of new life

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM

Ages ago when the mountain ranges OF
Arizona and California lowered toward the
stars, at least twice as high as they do now,
rains we're very freduent and came down in
toTrcntial volumes all along these mountain
ridges, The Colorado River in these past ages
was mighty stream, sweeping down debris
in tons every second of its flow. The Colora-
DO sink was at that time a great inland sea-
which spread over the country on both sides
Of where the river now runs. AS the erosion
of winds and storms andsIides and glaciers
wore down the mountain ridges year by year,
the great river carried down a vast amount
Of silt, erosion from the rocks full of phos.
pilates, lines and dIsintergrated grantees, as
well as the vegetation along It's banks; and
this was all deposited in what are now the
sinks of the Colorado.
As the mountain tops were worn down, the
rains became less frequent and less in volume
but the erosion of rocks and river banks, the
trees and vegetable mould torn from the
banks still came down and settled into the
bottom of the great inland lake. This geogical
process went on from age 10 age to our time,
leaving the Colorado at Yuma stream about
half mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep ia the deepest
portion.
1t is not necessary to remind Californans
that the Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river the Colorado because of the
reddish color ofits waters. 1t is the Colorado
up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and
down past The Needles. But at this time of
the year. after passing the mouth of the ella,
instead of the red river il becomes the brown
river. 1t actually looks today as If ten per
cent OF its flow was silt and only ninety per
cent water.

1t is very far from a Seni-millenium since
! three little open boats under the flag of Spain
irst touched the walters OF the western hemi
sphere and revealed the new world TO the
/ eyes of Europeans. 1t is only little over a
century since the United States of America
sprang, SO to speak. like Pallas Athene from
the brain of love, a completely armed ad.
dtiOn to the family Of nations. 1t is bat
little yer half a century since California be-
came a part of these United States of America,
and less than generation since the settle,
ment of the Great South west began.
in all the l25 years since the Republic was
founded, also in the half century since Cali
fornia became one of the States OF the Union
and durins every year Of the last thirty, re-
alizatiGn of the vast riches Of the American
continent, OF the territory Of the United
states and of this Great Southwest has been
more and more astonishing to the minds Of
men. One would suppose that by today we
knew pretty thoroughly what the undevelop-
ed resources of the Great Southwest might
reasonably lie expected to become. We have
not reached the depths Of this great ocean OF
wealth with our .plummet line yet.
In a residence of forty years on the Coast
the writer thought he knew a little about
what there is on the Coast, and as most OF
these years have been spent i'm and around
Los Angeles, he naturally had little con-
ceit that he was pretty well acquainted with
the Great Southwest. Last week trip to the
Colorado River bottoms. below Yuma made
HIM feel as tenderroot who had come in on
the last train. New to him, this wonderful
region and its possibilities are pretty well
known to great many readers Of The Times
by the stories published, If not by the demon
stration Of their own eyes.
Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles
from where the government Is putting in the
great Laguna dam, at the confluence of the
ella and Colorado Rivers. 1t is twelve miles
from Yuma down the river to the Mexican
boundry line on the Arizona side of the river
AT one point, just below Yuma, the interna-
uonal boundry line runs up along the river
which there takes westerly trend and from
Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.

The recent payment of 100000 for the

sire to have on hand sufficient funds

FRESNO. April 15.-Tomorrow is
postcard day for the people of Fresno
and thousands of souvenir cards have
been purchased by residents of the city
and county to send out from here to all
parts of the country. 1t is estimated
that fully quarter of a million cards
will go out from the city alone, 10000
OF this number to be sent out by the
school children.
W. T. Chandler, A. B. Clark, Milo
RoweH and Charles Erickson headed
automobile parties which went out to
surrounding towns today distributing
cards TO school children and mer-
chants. Between $4,000 and 10000
cards were distributed in this way.
Another party will leave Fresno to-
morrow and take in places that were
not touched today.
In addition to the distribution Of
cards by the people of Fresno, school
children will meet every train coming
into and going out of Fresno tomorrow
and all passengers will be given post
cards, which they will be asked TO send
out.
ROAD TO BOOST FESTIVAL
H. K. Gregory, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Santa Fe, was in
Fresno today, and during his stay paid
a visit to the directors of the raisin
day committee. Gregory declared that
the Santa Fe would boost raisin day
in every possible way. Huge banners
with the words Eat raisin bread" will
be posted in conspicuous places in de-
pots in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Galveston and Fort Worth. Tex. In
addition to this Gregory said that he
would have the Harvey eating houses
put up large posters telling of raisin
day and would also have them make
raisin bread.
John J. Byrne is getting out SOU
venir recipe book, telling how to use
raisins.
Preparations for the big carnival to
be held here April 80 are now under
way and will be rushed to completion.

Although a grand carnival will be

during the evening.
PHILADELPHIA CAMPAIGN
The Philadelphia campaign has now
been started and the Quaker City will
be swamped with raisin literature dur

80. From all reports the Inauguration
of the campaign was received kindly
by Philadelphia.
Owing to the fact that there was in
sufficient time the proposed race from
this city to Chicago has been called
