\ SPLENDID YIELD
 Of MESA ALFALFA
But the Price Is Not What the Far ners Had Right to Expect
 for the Product

Probably never in the history of the Mesa section has there been as much alfalfa grown as during the present season. Many hundreds of acres of new land were seeded to all
 producing splendid yields of hay Far mers are now caring for their second crop, some of them are cutting their third, and one crop succeeds another
 sc rapidly that the mowers are going constantly. Those of the growers
 who are prepared to hold their baled hay over are doing so, on account of the low price paid by the buyers. During the winter hay brought twelve
 to sixteen dollars per ton, but now
 new hay is selling at eight dollars
 on board the cars at Mesa. In Texas
 hay commands a high price; 1t is
 selling in Los Angeles and other Pa
 cific towns at double the Mesa price
 and even in Tucson, only a few days
 since, the price was reported at
 seventeen dollars a ton.
 When one inquiries into the reason
 for the low price of hay in this sec
 tion. it is answered that the railroad i rates are ldESelN lO DiotlilS | iit II Ni o hO on hay to outside points is prohibi-
 tive unless the price at the point of
 delivery is unusually high. Not be-
 ing on a thorough line has much to
 do with the high rate of handling the products of the valley. It is claimed that if Mesa and the other valley towns were on a through line of the Pacific system. much better terms could be secured by the ship pers With d competing line no doubt there would be a reduction of one half the present rate. Concerted ef- fort on the part of the people of the valley should result in getting req sonable concession from the railroad company. At a lower rate the com pany would handle so much greater volume of business that the gam would be ultimately as much for the railway as for the farmers
 Those of course who are able to | bale and shed their crops are not so much the loser. as they can un- | load next winter when the price goes 1 upward: but the farmer who has his | all interest in a quarter section ol alfalfa and must sell the hay to meet | bis debts. is the one who must sui 1 fer Another complaint that has beer made is that the farmers lost the l sale of a great deal of their flrS' 1 crop at good prices because at tha time sufficient cars for the handling

While Siegfried Wagner professes great contempt for Richard Strauss he has followed the latter's example in Elektra by bringing on the stage in his opera a whole herd of sheep.
