SOUTHWEST IS MAKING PROGRESS
IN THE CULTIVATION Of NEW AREAS
G. J. Blanchard Tells of Continuous and Rapid Growth
Of Towns and Development of Farming Lands in
the Rio Grande Valley, Where $4,000 Acres of
3osque Lands Have Been Cleared in 2Years.

settlement of the state is going for
ward in all sections. There is cOnsid-
rable activity in developing water from
underground sources, numerous small
successfully promoted, and a large
number of dry farms have been opened
up.
"On the governments big project in
the Salt River valley, a remarkable
change in agricultural methods is OBJ
served, and I lookt for even greater
changes next year. The demonstration
last year that long fiber cotton can be
produced here profitably has resulted
in better tillage. Old alfalfa fields in
which Johnson grass and other pests
were abundant have been ploWed up
and put in cotton.
Phoenix continues to grow at an
astonishing rate. Taking Is cities Of
the United States whose building rate
for August was about the same as that
of Phoenix, this desert metropolis
shows a percentage increase more
than double that of any of the list. In
cluded in the list are such cities as
Denver, Grand Rapids, New Haven,
New orleans. Pasadena, San Antonio,
Springfield, Mass, and Youngstown,
Ohio.
AT Yuma. the year just rounding out
has been one of real progress. More
than 5000 acres of the valley lands
have been cleared, 1eveled and planted.
This represents an investment in excess
of $3.50, 600 in labor and money. Crops
and prices are good. Dairying is to-
day an important industry and grow
ing in popularity. There are excep-
uOnal opportunities here for those who
would engage in it. The city of Yuma
is putting on metropolitan airs.
The foundations for the present and
future development of the Southwest
are firmly established, and this region
Tor many years to come viii continue
TO be the mecca for homemakers''
