Mulching the ground around the
trees is strongly advocated by the
followers of DR.. Huffman. We saw
an experiment on q block of trees
near Santa Paula where a heavy
mulch manure and leaves was placed
under the trees. The grove was
plowed deeply and as close to the
trees as possible. Except for the
rains these trees have received no
water since last fall They are APP

ground under the mulch is moist.
1t should be remembered in this con-

the coast and has the advantage OF

Within a week or ten days the only
automatic cotton ginning plant in the
world will be in operation in Phoenix.
The plant of the Arizona Egyptian cot

the company is now ready to receive
raw cotton. One load was brought in
yesterday afternoon.
The plant is situated on the west
side of the Arizona Eastern Y, near
the end of it, from which a switch has
been constructed to the seed cotton

have capacity each of six bales in
