AN INDUSTRY OF ARIZONA

grown. All this investment is imperiled
by the present agitation.
Aside from the demonstrated fallacy
of the claim that the price Of raw wool
is responsible for the high price of
clothing, aside from the recognized
benefit that a great sheep industry
would bring TO this country, including
the added advantage Of an increased
meat supply, there may he shown a di-
rest advantage TO the consumer i'm hav-
ing his clothes made of American
grown wool. That advantage accrues
from the fact that these clothes viii
last longer. Great students of fabrics
recognize the superiority of American
grown wool American wool is strong
er, works better. wears better than i'm
ported wool The government recog-
nizes this, and in letting all its con
tracts specifies that American wool
shall be used. When it calls for great
quantities of clothing for the men of
its army or its navy the government
requires American wool. If the clothes
Of Americans were made Of their own
wool. they would be better clothes. If
the sheep industry were given an op-
portunity. it would soon be prOduc-
ing enough wool to supply all the
clothes that America uses. Why not
give this industry Of the people a
chance?
Now, Mr.. Speaker. there is yet an
other phase of the sheep business that
should appeal TO those who look To the
future from the broad standpoint Of
progress. Half of the land of the ma
ton is almost worthless. 1t is not to-
dav being farmed, and will never lend
itself to farming The old farms of the
east are being deserted. The dry lands
OF the west and the mountain regions
may never bc used for the planting Of
crops Yet all of these viii remain To
the end of time adaptable To the graz
ing of sheep. The only revenue that
they may ever yield To the generations
to come viii most likely be due to the
flocks that Craze upon them. Under
the feet Of these mild-faCed creatures,
that have been the companions of man
since time began, they may go on
through the ages producing wealth.
Even those farms that are prOduc-
ing the crops of the nation are ever
benefited by the tread Of live stock
The preservation of the fertility of
these farms is more aided by the feed
ing of live stock than through any 9th
er process. Those fields that are sapp-
ed of their fertility by the long contin-
ued harvesting of crops. that take al
ways from ~ soil and return nothing
may be restored to their virgin pro
ductiveness by grazing sheep upon
them and putting back in the soil the
properties that are needed. There is a
rational conservation in sheep raising
from one end Of the country to the 9TH
er. There is a possibility of building
up an industry of such proportions that
the present scope of it will seem infin-
itesimal in proportion.
Let us not disregard all these posi-
bilities because of a cry that the sheep
mans share in the s. that goes in raw
wool into the making of a suit of
clothes is a burden on the public. II
were better to spend our energies in
seeking the real burden than crying

POSSIBILITIES OF
RECLAMATION WORK
WHAT MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED
IN SULPHUR RIVER VALLEY.
Data of a Government Official Re
specting Sources of Water
Supply.

F. c. Kelton, who is connected with
the governmental experiment station
in Sulphur Springs valley, that great
stretch of level country lying in the
southeastern portion Of CJchlse coun-
ty, has written to the Arizona Range
News Of Wilcox some Vcry interesting
data respecting the amount of land
which may be ultimately redeemed for
agricultural purposes, the amount 50
impregnated with alkali as to be
practically worthless, and the immense
gypsum deposits lying about five
miles east Of Douglas. The Sulphur
Springs valley has an area as large
as Connecticut and Rhode Island
combined and then some. Expert kcl-
ton declares that about 200 900 acres
of this great empire is available for
farming now, and profitable farming
by pump irrigation, added 10 the an
nual rainfall, which varies from seven
to as high as twenty-five inches a
year.
About 10000 acres, mostly in the big
flat lying between Wilcox and Co
chise. is so heavily charged with black
alkali as to be worthless Kclton also
declares that with experience and
cheap fuel to lessen the cost of pump
ing, an immense area Of the valley
outside of the 100000 acres mentioned
will come under cultivation. Speaking
of the water supplies of the big valley,
Kelton says:
THE water supplies Of Sulphur
Springs valley may be divided into
direct rainfall, noodwater runoff and
groundwaters Rainfall and flood
waters do not contain alkali salt IN
any amount, but the groundwaters alb
sorb salts from the soils through
which they percolatc. In general, II
NAV be stated that groundwaters from
the lower parts of the valley. and es-
peciallv within the alkali district
contain the largest percentage of solu-
BILE salts. while those from the higher
elevations are very good in quality
About two thirds Of the samples eX-
amined are more or less black aka
