DOES FARMING PAY IN
 SALT RIVER VALLEY?
1t Ought to If There Is Any Virtue
 In Scientific Management.

If scientific management is a good thing for railroads and steel mills it should apply equally well to farming. That is undoubtedly the opinion of w. s. Humbert, president of the Ari- zona Seed Co, director of the Phoe- nix National Bank and one of the successful farmers of this valley. His friends say that he is pursuing in his farming methods, a course that is so excessively scientific it is at tracting the wonder and admiration of all his neighbors. They say that he has worked out a plan whereby he keeps his irrigating ditches clean ed without expense and is shortly to remodel his ditch system without cost, in a way to secure better service and add neatness and convenience to his farm plant.
 It is alleged that MT. Humbert has run fences on each side of each big supply ditch clear around his ranch, making a long narrow pasture. Into this pasture he turns just sheep enough to keep eaten down to a frazzle, every green weed and every spear of grass, Johnson grass or otherwise that dares to show it's head above ground. If the picking gets short he furnishes a little for age besides but ordinarily he don't have to even furnish board for his ditch cleaning gang.
 One of his most observing neigh bors assert that MT. Humbert has been seen going over his ranch on moonlight nights in a way that sug- gests that he has an even more unique idea. It is suspected that he is devising a plan whereby he can turn the gOphers on the ranch to good account The theory of this man is that MT Humbert intends to insidiOusly divert the operations of these rodents in such a manner that they will dig where he wants them to- And what he wants them to do is to excavate siphons under roads, and where one ditch crosses another, in such a way as to ObViate the need of bridges, culverts, fumes, etc.

HEALING THE WOUNDS
 OF A GREAT PARTY
MT. Ives Prediction Regarding the
 Outcome of the Convention

Hon. Eugene s. Ives, of Tucson, who is in the city on legal business, believes he knows the outcome of the republic an national convention. He expects to witness the traditional practice of get ting together after the flame and smoke of battle have cleared away. He does not think that either Taft or Roosevelt will be nominated but that third man, probably Justice Hughes, will heal the republican national ticket.
 After this detail has been disposed of, MT. Ives expects that Manager Me- Kinley and Manager Dixon will be seen walking arm in arm and congratulating each other on the splendid work of the convention and that soon thereafter will appear a statement from Oyster Bay that a distinguished gentleman of that vicinage whom rumors have con nected with the proceedings at Chicago, was not at any time a candidate for the presidency but that he had loaned his name to the progressive movement order that the nomination might not result in the perpetuation of the anti progressive policies of the present ad- miniStratiOn.
 Furthermore, MT. Ives is looking for ward to an inspired statement from Washington to the effect that MT. Taft had wearied of the presidency before he had been in the chair ten minutes dating from March i, 1909, and that in no circumstances could he have been induced to undergo four years more of the ordeal, but that he had consented to be a stalking horse and to act as a check upon the aspirations of his friend from Oyster Bay
 After all these things have happen ed MT. Ives expects that the usual solid front will be presented.
