milller the full twelve months; prices for butterfat are high, and the calves are an extra revenue to swell bank de- pOsits. A good COW nets a profit of $70 to $75 and We have a record of 126 cows averaging $77.40 for milk alone yearly
 The woman on the farm, here has bright sunny days most of the year. A few cloudy days, but every day some sunshine. Great weather for children; out of doors all the time, bare legged and smiling back at the sunlight. The farm craft for women all are profit able; chickens, turkeys, and small fruits. Rural free delivery, the parcel post, smooth, almost level, roads, and lOW-cOst automobiles have helped to make the lot of the woman on the farm. a pleasant one. Everything tending to further improve society is encouraged. Clubs, meeting houses, sessions of reading, and literary circles are well established
 No better schools exist in the whole country. Arizona has well earned the good reputation it now has for its edu- cational institutions. From the kinder garten to the state university the course of instruction is directed to fit ting the individual to best fill import ant duties of life. Schoolhouses and equipment are of the best and most approved pattern. Modern methods quickly are adopted when successful: no expense is spared to make education complete. An example of the splendid quality of the school edifices is the high school at Phoenix which cost s25O, 900; another the Adams street school; a third the new Central school, which will cost $50, ,000 and be the largest school building in the south west.
 There is no end of the variety of crops raised with profit. Alfalfa covers S2, 900 acres; barley more than 15O0O; sugarbeets, 5000, and so on, including cantaloupes, orchard fruits, sOrghums, sugarcane, wheat garden vegetables, melons, oats, cotton, altogether more than 190,00O planted acres. The farm revenue yearly reaches about Sl,5OO,- 900 to which must be added $700,0OO from cattle and $S00,000 from dairy. There also is $500OO0 yearly derived from sheep, poultry, and hogs. While large figures are difficult to compre- hend sometimes, it is interesting to know that the average production per acre is more than $50
 d farm is at it's best The ten or twenty acres farmed by the owner is the great factor in the success of irrigation pro- iects. In this valley, set under the smiling sun, where fields are green the year round, where trees and all things never stop growing, and where the eli mate makes for health this is the place you have promised yourself so long. The land is worked easily, the surface makes irrigation easy, and with every thing else to help and encourage, labor is light
 Officials carefully have estimated the returns which can be made and which have been made, and they will astonish you. We will outline what some men who actually farm have done. One cleared more than $3.000 on his forty acres Another made s619.6O by water melons from three acres With forty head of miIch cows another's income to from $25O to $350 monthly | Tn all lines it is the same.
