That the lake trip on the many pas

from the lower lakes is becoming more
popular than ever, is demonstrated by
the fact that business during the early
part of the season is little more than
double that OF last year.
This, in spite of the fact that the
weather on the lakes this year has not
been of the most agreeable sort, is
evidence that there is something OF

the great heat which has been expert

THERE IS NO DISCOUNT
 0n THIS MAYS WORK

Frank Krentz of the Arizona Mea that there is money to be made in this valley growing sorghum hay, and that he has raised a crop that will yield a handsome profit this year, says the Douglas International.
 On July 20 he began planting eighty acres in sorghum on land adjoining the slaughter house of the meat com pany, three miles west of Douglas, along the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad. The blowing, the cost of the seed and the planting cost about $275.
 The hay crop was cut during the last few days and the work of haul ing it from the ground will begin to- day. The cane grew to a height of four to six feet and a good stand was secured. From the eighty acres MT. Krentz says he will get about 1S0 of about 21a tons to the acre. This hay is worth today SIS per ton. which makes the entire crop forth s3240, or nearly three thousand dollars net pro- fit. not counting anything for inter- est or investment in the land or taxes.
 So here is an illustration of what may be accomplished in the growth of sorghum hay on at least one piece of land in the Sulphur Springs valley and that there are many thousands of acres in the valley of the same kind is well known to all who have ever been over it.
