How Deserts Are Formed

There is a popular idea that deserts like the Sahara are the bottoms of ancient seas which have been lifted above their original elevation by geological forces. This notion is an erro- neous one. It is absolutely cer- tain, high authorities contend, that the sands of all the great deserts have been formed on the spot by the disintregation of the solid rocks on which they rest. Desert sands correspond in all respects, so far as their mode of origin is concerned, to the dust and sand that accumulates on our high roads in summer. All deserts are situated where the winds from the ocean, before reaching them, are exhausted of their moisture by passing g over mountains or across exten- sive tracts of land Scientific American.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS.
R Ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station
University of Arizona,

January Is, 1907.
 Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial food-plain of the Colorado, lies little farm of 7.2 acres which on May 1, 1905, was virgin bottomland, covered with saltweed, arrow brush and creosOte bushes. The original purpose of the tract was for planting selected varieties of date palms imported by the U. s. Department Of Agriculture from the Old World. The Experiment Station, May 2, be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of levelling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN OF WORK.
 Recognizing, however, that farmer with his living to make meantime, cannot afford to wait for an orchard to come into bearing, it was planned to plant crops for quick re- turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the work on 8 feasible basis from the small farm ers point of view. In order to econ nomiZe ground the irrigating borders were so placed as to coincide with the rows Of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into lands, for the most part one-half an acre in size. lrrgating water from the Colorado Valley F. & l. Canal was obtained in the cus- tomary manner and E. l.. Crane, himself a Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was nicknamed our play farm"
 In size, as well as in the intensive character of the work planned, this farm" is the op- posite of the average holdings of this locality. The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa, corn, barley, and forages in general, compara- lively little attention being given to vege- tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling land in this region is high, rarely falling be- low twenty dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, ex- elusive of maintenance, of the Government irrigating system now under construction will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish ment of farm in this region, intensive crops of more remunerative character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general situa- tion that this cultural work was planned.
 RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.
 The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was ievelIed, ditched and bOrdered at a contract price Of l720 an acre, considerably less than the average for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cost $G0l0 lumber for headgates cost SS957; a drive well point and pipe, a pftcher-spout pump and barrel, Sl3.45; small lumber two-room house, including five and one-half days carpenter hire, l5275; and brush-roof shelter for horses about $500 Only skilled labor employed in levelling, bordering and

Origin of Arizona

A few months ago there was a discussion in the Gazette in re- gard to the origin and meaning of the name, "Arlzona." In the dictionary which you are adver- Using as premium to subcrib- CTS, you will find, under the cap tion of "Names of States and Territories" that the origin and meaning are given as having been derived from the Indian word "Arizonac," signifying ''small springs or''few springs.

Some of our free trade friends affect to believe the farmer makes his money by saving the per cent which is involved in a Tariff schedule. They were never more mistaken. The farmer makes his money by keeping the factory running and labor em- ployed. He then sells his hogs for $7 per hundredweight, in- stead of S4, when labor is unem- ployed and the mills not running.

County Commissioner Hart is not an
easy mark for the professional joker,
but on the day of the circus parade
he became the easy victim of an inno-
cent appearing young woman.
Mr.. Hart happened to pass through
the office of the county clerk. AS he
passed one of the poung women
asked him If he had seen the circus
parade, and with a serious expression
on her face, said:
"They took all the animals into the
parade except the giraffe. and under
stand he was not allowed to go on the
street"
II wonder why?" replied the COM
missioner.
"They were afraid the giraffe would
eat the currents off the electric wires
