FARM PRODUCTS OF

Wonderful Beans Form Part
of Display of the State
Agricultural Train.

Phoenix, Ariz-, Dec. 12.-Despite the
stringency of the Arizona law with re-
gard to the free transportation Of ex-
hibit or demonstration trains, the
present corporation commission in con-
junction with the Santa Fe. Southern
Pacific and FL Paso and Southwestern
railroads has permitted the State uni
versity agricultural experiment sta
ton to run the first demonstration
train through the new state. The trip
over the section trayersed by the Santa
lie has already been completed, and
the Southern Pacific schedule begun
As Arizona's range Of products IS
probably the widest OF any state, Cali
iornia not excepted, the cars carry
everything that can be grown IN tenn
perate and subtropical climates. The
exhibition is all the more interesting
because Of a few contributions which
the Arizona experiment station has
perfected from the indian crop OF the
southwest
one OF the most striking examples
IS that of the Aztec bean, which has
the unique history of having been
found in one Of the cliff dwellings Of
northern Arizona, stored carefully away
in a sealed ola Brought to civiliza-
ton by the state historian, Miss
Charlotte Al Hall, a few seeds were
gwen 10 the experiment station and
propagated. The bean is very large,
eIlipucial in shape and beautiful
white. It is very nutritious and viii
undoubtedly become a crop of consid-
cradle economic value. Another bean
which is fully as unique as the AZ
tee bean is the Tepary. which is bot
anlcally different from any Of the
beans that are identified Upon inves-
ugatIon il was found that this bean is
a native of the southwestern United
states and has grown for an indefi-
mite period on the Indian reservations

of consideration because it produces

OF being able TO pass through extend
ed droUthy periods and then with the

Its seed Another bean of more i'm
mediate economical Importance is the
Bates bean, spotted and about the size
of the common frijOle. This bean yield
ed more than any other under the dry

Papago indian sweet corn is also a
contribution to the list of crops which

gardens, especially since ordinary
sweet corns will not seed in the ex-
IRENE climatic conditions existing in
the southwest This corn was grown
on a field scale at the Prescott dry
farm this year for the first time.

FARMING
MEXICAN TOBACCO
Is GAINING FAVOR
In New York Mexican Wrap
pers Sell For Best Cubans:
Topic Crop Is Large.

Guaymas, Son, Mexico, Dec. ian
excellent quality of tobacco is raised
in the territory of Topic, being mar

Topic, and Mazatlan. Sin, and thence
to Mexico City through Manzanillo.
Colima. The majority or Topic tobacco
goes to Mexico City, where it is manu-
featured into cigarets. In New York
Mexican wrappers sell for fine Cubans.
The production in the territory OF
Topic is estimated at $40 pounds TO
the acre. It is packed in bales Of 152
pounds. two of which make a load for
a mule from the plantation 10 the
port. The price paid is from 20 to =
pesos per cargo. amounting to from
1886 to $10.96 gold.
The tobacco is planted from NoTem-
Der to January and the harvest begins
in July. Unless seed is wanted, the
plant is always topped As the leaves
ripen they are cut and hung on ropes
to dry in the sun They are then piled
under shelter, covered witE grass and
banana leaves. and allowed to sweat,
after which they are packed for the
market
Owing to the extension into Mama
milo Of the Mexican Central railway,
and the interest of the Southern Pa
cific railroad Of Mexico, a trip was
made by a scientific tobacco planter
through the entire tobacco districts OF

to Manzanillo, Colima- It was found
that the soil and climate are both very
favorable.
Cuba only exceeds Mexico in the
manufacture Of fine cigars. because
the island product is better known in

Of such high quality that II is said
that wrappers of the same are used on
what are afterwards put upon the
market as first class Cuban cigars.

She Achieved Beauty.
4 knew a girl who was absolutely
plain some years ago. Nobody admitted
that she had the slightest claim to
beauty. She was both awkward and
homely. Now this girl had achieved
beauty by hard work. Careful diet and
exercise, kept her complexion and fig
dress exactly as you would take up a
course in a foreign language or mathe-
catics.
when it came to gesture and pose,
she was perfect; having very few good
points to start with, she studied them
and made the most of them, and in
those things which every girl can con-
