THE DAIRY BUSINESS

Recently there has been shipped
into this valley two car loads of fine
dairy cattle, to be sold to the farmers
of the valley with the view of build
ing up the dairy business.
Perhaps in no other part of Ari-
zona are conditions so favorable to
the upbuilding of large dairy bust
ness as can be found in the Gila
valley.
With a good rich soil, plenty of
water for irrigation and a climate
that is almost perfect, alfalfa is
grown mere with better success than
in any part of Arizona. Knowing
this the wonder has always been why
more attention has not been paid to
dairy cattle, and disposition shown
on the part of our farmers to get
the highest possible price for their
alfalfa by engaging in the dairy
business and thus securing from
$22.00 to $2S.00 per ton for their
hay.
1t would seem to visitor in the
valley that our farmers are not get
ting all they are entitled to when
they neglect a business that brings
in such big profits wherever it is
undertaken.
There is no doubt in the minds of
those who have studied the condi-
tions here. but that if more Of our
farmers were engaged directly in
the dairy business, condition of
prosperity would soon prevail that
would place this valley in the lead
Of every other community.
There is. already established in
this valley a creamery whose capacity
has never yet been reached, simply
because il is impossible to secure
enough butter fat to manufacture
into butter, and the butter that is
made is the very best that is turned
out of any creamery in the state,
and the demand far exceeds the
supply.
Not only butter, but the finest
kind of cheese can be successfully
manufactured, thus establishing a
business that will give to our farmers
a larger profit for their alfalfa by
feeding to dairy cattle. than is now
or ever has been secured by simply
shipping to outside points.
With more farmers giving serious
attention to building up the dairy
business in the valley, comes the
other adjuncts that increase pros
perty. One of these is the alfalfa
mill, which grinds alfalfa into meal.
Another is the growing of sugar
beets and the establishment of a sugar
beet factory. In this way new busi-
nesses are established that give a
better profit to our farmers than the
present method Of cutting, baling and
shipping their alfalfa. More money
can be made in feeding than in ship
ping.
Our farmers should go into the
dairy business in earnest. They
should stop dreaming and get down
on earth and start in at once to help
upbuild business that will place
their valley in the lead for all dairy
products, and at the same time
secure returns that would soon lift
the mortgages and lead to prosper
ity that would bring perfect happl-

A BIG RESERVOIR.
By This Means Horton Will Solve
Water Supply Problem.

\ solution for the water problem
at Horton has been reached, according
to w. H. kemper. who spent a few
hours there recently. in big reservoir
holding 25,000,000 gallons of water.
While such reservoir would not be
more than enough to supply Topeka
with water much longer than a week
it will supply the city of Horton for
about IA months If every other source
of supply gives out.
The city of Horton owns it's own
lighting and water system, and the
building of the reservoir is under the
city'S direction. The city has been
short of water this summer, and eX-
poets to take no chances on another
drought. AS Horton never uses more
than $4,000 gallons a day the reser-
voir, when full, will supply the city
for about 416 days, or nearly IA
months 1t would require a reservoir
with a capacity of about 1850, 900. 900
gallons to supply the city of Topeka
for as long a period-an undertaking
that would practically be out of the
question.

the English name of cricket would

to put every one of the eleven men

The man with the bat stands in front
of the wicket and endeavors to pre-
vent the boiler or pitcher from knock
ing the wicket down with the ball. If
the ball hits the wicket he is out OF
