A BUSINESS CHANGE.

E. F. Lauten, of the Parker Meat
Market, has leased, for a term of
three years, his business and prem
ises to Charles Hosfelt, who will con-
duct the same in the future. Mr..
Lauteh Will devote his attention to
raising cattle and hogs, having under
lease for that purpose an extensive
tract of bottom land on the river near
the Indian agency. He also proposes
to erect a theater building on the
corner lot near the market, in which
dances and public gatherings may be
held, and in which moving picture
shows will be given at stated
intervals.

a special toothed cultivator for
the latter. CULTIVATE!

One very common error is
made in sowing alfalfa and
wheat. Not enough moisture is
put into the soil before seeding.
Use the following procedure: Ir-
rigate thoroughly; disk and har-
row; SOW seed with a drill, plac-
ing seed in moist soil beneath
the surface mulch, alfalfa l 1-2
inches deep, wheat and barley 2
to 3 inches deep; follow with
smooth harrow; do not irrigate
again until absolutely necessary,
then irrigate heavily and cult
vate afterward if possible.
In leveling land special care
should be taken to scrape off all
the high spots.
The foregoing methods applv
generally to the so-called "slic :
spots''/or "slick land"

YUMA COUNTY TO
HAVE FIRST PROJECT.

AriZOnas first withdrawal of pub
lie lands under the provisions of the
so-called Carey act, bids fair to cul-
inmate in an important reclamation
enterprise, according to chairman
Mulford Winsor of the State Land
Commission. The withdrawal for thi
project includes about 10000 acres
of bottom and mesa land on the south
side of the Gila river near Plomas,
in this county, which it is planned to
irrigate by huge pumps, after devel-
oping the underflow 6f the Gila river.
The Gila, which supplies surface
water for irrigation only at irregular
intervals-and generally lays off
when the water is most needed-is
known to always carry great supply
Of underground water
In the proposed Carey enterprise
near Palomas, it is proposed to devel-
op these waters by means of a series
of connected pits extending across
the river channel. With a supply
once provided, the pumping of the
water and it's conveyance to the land
to be irrigated is considered a very
simple engineering problem.
California and eastern capitalists
of large means are prepared to carry
the work to completion, following a
detailed engineering investigation, as
required by the regulations of the
State Land Commission, which has
charge of all Carey act projects in
the state, and the department of the
interior, which must finally approve
the project before title to the land
can pass.
These capitalists are represented
by S. H. Woodruff, a Los Angeles
capitalist who has been successful in
many large enterprises, and who is
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
Palomas project.
Following the completion of the en-
gineering investigation by the pro
moters of the enterprise, and the
submission to the state land commits
sion not only of the detailed maps
and plans setting forth the physical
features of the project, but also the
charges, terms and assessments to
be imposed upon water users, the
commission will make a similar inves
tigation for the purpose of satisfying
itself of the projects feasibility
Following the commission's approv-
al, application will be made for per-
mament segregation of the land, in
cluded within what is at present a
temporary withdrawal to permit the
examination referred to. The bonds
of the project, secured by 0he lands
coming under it, will then be sold by
the commission, contract let for
the construction of the works, and
tn Glands disposed of to settlers on
the easy terms permitted under the
Carey act
According to Mr. Winsor there are
several splendid opportunities for ir-
rigation enterprises on both sides of
the Gila River from western Marico-
pa county to the Colorado which will
some day be realized.VYuma Sun.

CAUGHT With the Goods.

Thomas Flanagan, a miner who
has been around Parker for the past
couple of years, at various times, was
arrested Monday afternoon by the
Indian police, charged with selling
liquor to Indians. 1t appears that
a few days previous several Indians
were found drunk, and after being
questioned implicated Flanagan. A
trap Waas set for the accused, and
he fell into it. 1t is reported that
he will plead guilty. He was taken
to Phoenix Tuesday night by United

IRRIGATION OF NEW LAND.

siderable difficulty. A number
of these have been visited by
Prof. Stanley F. Morse. superln-
tendent of the, Agricultural EX-
tension Service of the University
of Arizona College of Agricul-
ture, who states that there is
really no necessity for a great
deal of this trouble. He has
found in several cases, on dig
ging down into the soil, that
where the crops were not doing
we'll, there was moisture only in
the first 3 to6 inches of soil.
Usually in the same field Wher-
ever the crop showed a good
growth much more moisture was
found. This proves conclusively
that not enough irrigating water
had been applied to the land.
Indeed, it is a fact (more par
ticularly in the heavier silt, clay
adobe soils) that when put under
cultivation for the first time they
need two or three times as much
water as old irrigated land. In
other words, it is necessary to
have a reserve of moisture in the
soil for success in irrigation farm
ing. New soils are generally
very dry and absorb an abnormal
quantity of water. Furthermore
these soils are apt to be deficient
in organic matter or humus,
hence they are tight and run
together when irrigated. The
main problem then is how to get
the water into them.
The most common mistake IN
handling soils of this character
is to run the water over the land
too rapidly. The water must
stand on the land long enough
to have time to penetrate. In
laying out the lands, they should
be given very little fall, should
not be too long, and should have
high borders. Lands with con-
siderable fall may be cross-bor-
dered to check the flow of the
water and their borders should
all be high. In irrigating the
lands should be flooded and the
water allowed to stand until ab-
sorbed; frequently two or three
successive foodings must be
given before the soil has taken
enough water. Care should be
taken that the water does not
run over the land too rapidly.
When the heads of the water are
too large, they should be split
up into several smaller heads
that will flow gently over the
land. To find out whether the
soil has absorbed sufficient mois-
ture, hole should be made with
a post hole digger or soil auger.
There should be three or four
feet of moisture in the soil to
properly support crop growth
for any length of time.
To help the soil to take water
two things are necessary: Q)
Loosen the soil deeply; .(2) add
organic matter or humus. The
soil may be loosened by means
of deep plowing, followed by a
subsoil plow. In furrow irriga-
ton the furrow should be fresh
ly opened just before irrigation.
Organic matter may be added by
applying manure or straw or by
plowing under green crops. 1t
will probably pay to sacrifice one
winter crop each year of barley,
Canada field peas, winter vetch,
sugar clover and the like to be
plowed under 8 to II inches deep
in the spring. These crops may
be pastured during the winter.
After a year or two of this treat
ment alfalfa can be successfully
established, but should be plow-
ed under after three or four
years. Too much emphasis can
not be laid on tn Importance of

LOOSE LEAF WARE

the Home Tobacco Warehouse at Rich
mond. They say that Jake Berger the
famous auctioneer that was with them
last year, will be on hand again and
that all Companies that bought there
last year will have representatives
there this year. MIR. Jonah Wagers
and Nit Ross were on hard in the in
terest of the Madison Warehouse and
claim that their house has made numer
GUS improvements and are better pre-
pared than ever to take care of their
customers. Messrs Allen Heiatt and
Henry Bright of the Daoville Tobacco
Warehouse, were pushing the merits of
this popular house and with Charlie
Anderson on the ground and working
like Trojan should get their share of
the business. Col. 1. M. Dunn, whom
