y And Eggs Bring Good Returns To The Active Small Rancher
Suitability Of Valley For Poultry
 Raising Is Not To Be Questioned

a number of successful poultrymen some interesting figures. Houses
 here need not be expensive. It is a fact that some have no houses at all. the birds roosting in trees. This is not to De recommended, and for the best results. and most profits. there should be sheds, partially in closed on three sides with earthen floors. Such shelter may be built for from fifty cents to one dollar per fowl Some water system is necessary. and a complete equipment. including pump. engine. water tanA, piping and installation. costs on some of the larger farms from $500 to $S00. A much cheaper equipment is used on many farms, which while not so economical as to time. saves some on the initial cost. Fencing depends upon the size of the yard. but it may be figured at from fifty cents to one dollar per fowl. Where the colony system is followed and there are no cross fences. the expense is cut to minimum.
 Laying hens here cost from fifty cents to one dollar. each, according to age and breed. The cost of rais- ing bullets to maturity is about sew enty-five cents each. Feed here is reasonably low priced Wheat, which is the standard feed. retails usually in small quantities for an average of about s2.00 per hundred. At the present time wheat. of course is higher. Tn larger quantities the price will usually run from S1.60 to $1.75 per hundred. Bran is also used extensively, and retails from S1.50 to S1.15 per hundred: Milo Maize. also used largely in place of corn, sells from S1.25 to $1.75 per hundred. Corn, barley and oats are used to some extent. but the three feeds first mentioned are the most popular with the most successful poultrymen. Most of the poultrymen find the cost of keeping laying hen not far from one dollar a year. 1 find that the market price for eggs during the past two years has ranged from 15c in March

is considerably less than in the east. The mild winters are conducive to winte. egg production, and the early spring permits of earlier matching and the raising of bullets, which ma ture before the winter season. As
 we have seen, the needs of the state
 are not nearly supplied at the pres ent time and cannot be until we can produce enough to supply the mar ket the year round.
 With our advanta ges we have some disadvantages. Our mild climate which is favorable to the growth of poultry is also favorable to the growth of vermin, and here as else where, these insects sap the profits unless kept in subjection. Forum ately. they are not particularly diff ficult if they are never allowed to get a start.
 I have mentioned only the utility side of the poultry question, but would not by any means ignore the fancy poultry breeders. In fact the fancy breeders, or to use a term which l like better. the breeders of pure bred poultry. are responsible in no small degree for the advancement of the poultry industry in this sec tion. We have a state organization called the Arizona State Poultry As sociation composed of about one hundred enthusiastic poultry breed CTS. w. w. Carney, of Mesa, one ot the most successful poultrymen of the valley, is president; H. G. Pow CTS, of Phoenix, superintendent of the poultry department at the state fair, and one of the best informed poultrymen of the state, is secretary. Monthly meetings are held which are largely attended. Questions of in terest are discussed and a great deal is being done to help the poultry fraternity. These meetings are free to all. Once a year a show is held and these shows. with the annual poultry exhibit at the state fair. are doing much to raise the standard of the poultry of the valley and the state. There are local associations

to 45c from November until January The lowest price always being early in March. We are shipping from out side the state to Phoenix some six thousand cases of eggs yearly. Pres colt shipped in five thousand cases more. The mining camps in the southern part of the state and the mining and lumber camps in the northern part of the state, probably consume more eggs from outside the state than do Phoenix and Prescott This is our logical market and should all be supplied from the Salt River Valley.
 As to the profit. the figures from a number of egg farmers prove that they are making net profit of from one dollar to one dollar forty-five per fowl per year.
 We havesthe advantage here of the continuous growing season, where green can be had nearly the whole year round. The expense of housing

The good Lord didn't make any one place absolutely ideal for any one purpose, but he did make the Salt River Valley of Arizona with conditions which are peculiarly fla Vorabie for poultry raising It is common to find in all sections of the country those who have started in the poultry business with lots of enthusiasm. no experience, and little capital, that have failed. We have these people here too. We shall expect to have them. as success in suy line comes from persistency So the failures in the poultry business may be discounted here as elsewhere by the statement that success or fail ure in any line. barring certain con- ditions. over which the individual has no control is largely a personal equation.
 If I were called upon to give the best evidence of the suitability of the valley for the poultry raisers. I would name dozens of people who have gone into the poultry business. be- ginning in d small way and gradually expanding, as growing capital and experience have warranted. Curious ly enough most of these have had no experience except that which they gained here. While I knew of a few successful farmers. dairymen, gar deners. etc, who have sold out and taken up some other business. I don't recall bue one successful pouI- tryman who has sold out during the past five years. and his excuse was that his wifes people needed them lack east.
 There are. I suppose. in the Salt River Valley. something like 2OO.0O0 laying hens. Most of these are found on the farms There are few farms where there are not found from a few dozen to a few hundred fowls. In the towns. a few fowls are kept in back yards of about half the homes There are a number of commercial egg farms, of from five hundred up. though there are not

many of over one thousand. Of the varieties most commonly found here the White Leghorns are in the lead. The American breeds are next, with the Rhode Island Reds in highest favor. On the strictly egg farms, the Leghorns are pretty sure to be found, though occasionally We find an egg farm where no attempt is made to select any one variety and where pretty nearly all are repre- sented- one of the most successful egg farmers has followed for years the practice of buying hens of diff ferent breeds, and keeps altogether about one thousand.
 There are number of commercial hatcheries in the valley, and the most common practice of the egg farmers. and largely the farmers who keep a few hundred laying hens, is to buy the day old chicks. and raise them. Now as to possible profits. necessary capital. etc. I have obtained from

A writer in Outing confesses that she has long been in the habit of telling weather lies" She really e2- joyed a brisk. peiting rain and the clearing wind that followed. But because most of her friends were inclined to bemoan such weather as one of the burdens of an aVenging Providence, she acquiesced and said, ''Oh, yes, terrible weather" or some such remark.
 There might be nothing particular lY harmful in this habit which IS probably more CT less common to most of us. if it did not encourage e a shrinking dislike for some of the most inspiring and persistent phe- nomena about us. There are possi- bilities of keen and healthy enjoy ment in almost any sort of weather if one is dressed to meet it and goes

in some of the other towns of the valley Mesa and Chandler both have such local associations and held shows during the past winter.
 Nearly all varieties of poultry are found here in large or small flocks.
 I have said nothing of other fowls than chickens. but we find on our farms many flocks of ducks, geese and turkeys. So far as I know there are none making a speciality of either ducks or geese, these being for the most part found in small flocks on the farms and are said by their own CTS to be quite profitable. Turkeys are raised largely throughout the valley With alfalfa fields to roam over where there are bugs and grasshoppers to furnish a consider able part of their living, they do extremely well. and return good pro- fit for the capital and labor eX- pended. While we find some turkeys on the small farms they seem to fit

in best as part of a general farm
 ing scheme on the large farms.
 They help to keep in check the in sects which otherwise would do some damage. and where they can glean the grain in the harvest fields, and finally fatten in the fields of milo. On at least one farm, turkeys are raised by the hundred, kept in big flocks and herded like sheep or cattle, the flockmaster never allow ing them out of his sight from the time they go into the fields in the morning until they go on the roost at night.
 To the person with some capital, an ambition to do the right thing at the right time, and willing to work and learn, and who is regular and faithful in attending to details. and last and most important of all, has a genuine love for fowls, there is here in the Salt River valley the same opportunity for making a sue cess in the poultry business that has made many already prosperous and

ally run in many channels. It could not be expected that should they give the whole ten acres to alfalfa they could all live on it, and seeing this point, they immediately went to work and sub divided it. Result: A comfortable home, shaded and cooled with clinging vines, carpeted with grass and fragrant with the odor of roses. A chicken lot and 200 well-kept chickens producing on an average of $50 month net: a COW or two and 20 wounds of butter at thirty cents a pound each week; q couple of pigs who make way with the house vast age and the overgrown and sometimes Operripe vegetable tops. An alfalfa patch, only a few acres, but sufficient to keep the horse, the cows and the hogs. Another of similar extent in order to allow a rotation of crops and rotation of pasture. A small plot on which green corn grows and roasting ears can be had for nearly all the year.

Red beets as big as your hat and good all through, radishes, cabbage. turnips, carrots, beans, peas, aspara- gus, lettuce, sweet potatoes.

There is 8 story on the sOuthside of the Salt River in what has been done by one family on a ten acre lot that should for all times dispel any argument against the producing and life-sustaining ability of this val fay. On this little lot a man, his wife, his daughter are making a comfort able living, keeping well, keeping busy, keeping cOntented, keeping sat lsfied, getting prosperous Getter than this, the largess of the soil produces more than they need, and even dur ing this spring neighbors around have enjoyed the splended vegetables grown on this model little lot

i In any country where the sun is hot and where the days are long and the i summer season is equally long, the cool i juice of a good red ripe watermelon 1 is nectar from the Gods It soothes. i it satisfies, it refreshes Because of
 this, no country similarly situated as ] the Salt River valley or nearly so can
 think of farming without thinking of Watermclons. But even if the water melon vine is apparently luXuriant it ! looks as if it might grow anywhehe 1 Certain care must be taken in it's cul- l tivation and certain steps must be taken to prepare the land in which it grows as well as bring the plant and
 the crop to the greatest Irritation. This led the Republican representa- tive to visit Charles Thompson in the Wilson district last week and look on his watermelon patch. It's a marvel of beauty. of industry and of promise. Long lines of melon plants parallel each other over many acres, and these are real plants. They are growing; you can almost see them grow, and no
 plant in the lot looks as if it had been struck by chill
 The melons are planted on the south side Of these long beds, and the fur row runs below the plant a slight ways and carries the water. The plot was originally an alfalfa field, but there is nothing there now but watermelon plants. The alfalfa has been plowed under, disced, and narrowed until it all has enriched the soil.
 Speaking about his melon patch MT. Thompson said "I think I will be able 10 grow two crops of melons on this ground in successive years. After that will be forced to again SOW it to alfalfa or some similar crop in order to replenish those clements whiCf\have been taken out by two melon crops. A melon patch. like any other real good crop, has to be carefully prepared for and carefully watched and while the plants are growing l keep the ground soft and loose with one-horse five-foot cultivator, and train the the plants away from the little ditch, which carries the water, up onto the top of the bed. I am careful about irri- gating and use wooden headgates at the top of the furrows in order to con trol the flow. Everybody who has seen my patch so far has complimented me highly on its appearance. I think quite a lot of it myself because it represents quite a lot of work done, but it is too soon now to say anything about the crop. I do know, however, that on other pieces of land I have succeeded in raising fine melons, Florida faVorites and Keckley sweets, and this year l hope will prove good year
 MT. Thompson is in the truck garden business on a forty acre farm mile and half southeast of the Wilson Snh a o hRTTN patch and netted well on it this year. Even when talking to the reporter he was busily engaged in gathering sum
 mer squash for the peddler who would
 be around in the morning, and with whom he finds a constantly increasing
 market for his first-rate vegetables.

The following is convincing evil dence of the value of the Roosevelt reservoir: "The assessed valuation of Maricopa county for 1914, was $75,S62, ,907.37: for 1905 it only reached $1O.63S, ,42O.30."

Dynamite may be considered to be one of the legitimate tools of the mod ern farmer and rightly used, there are perhaps few of greater value. The var ious manufa cturers of dynamite publish books ana bulletins which they are glad to send to those interested, and which exp ain in detail the methods and advantages of using explosives on the farm.
