The first year we were on the place, five acres of watermelons brought us $500. This year We have not so far completed our figures, but it looks good. We have more asparagus this year and our truck garden is doing very well. We have cows and chickens and make about ten pounds of butter a week which brings good price always. We have all the milk and cream and eggs we need for our own use. We have no kick to make; things grow here faster than anywhere else we have ever been.

 would like short space in your pa2er to say few words about vege- table gardening. There are few places in America where conditions are so favorable to the raising of vegetables as here in our own Salt River Valley and still there are many cf our people who are not even grow ing enough vegetables for their own use. Our climate is such that every farmer may have home grown vege- ables every month in the year and every day in the month. have plot of ground containing about two acres which use exclusively for garden. and have found that I can successfully raise almost all kinds of vegetables l can not have every kind of vegetable every month in the year. but I can have some kinds of vegetables every month in the year
 My spring garden is mostly planted in February and March, and my win ter garden in September and October, but some kinds of seed may be plant ed during the winter and summer months. In winter I have for use lettuce. radishes, onions. beets, turn ips. mustard. spinach. cabbage, cauli- flower and such hardy plants as are not killed by frost.

Asparagus One
 Of Valleys Best
 Paying Products
By Ernest Hall

Asparagus has been one of the best paying crops I have raised, that is taking into consideratin the cost of producing. The gross returns are not as great as some other crops, but it requires less labor in pro- ducing than almost any other crop and 1t is always a sure crop, one that you can absolutely bank on
 I have approximately one and three fourths acres devoted to asparagus one half of which was planted in 1909. one quarter in 1910 and one quarter in 1911. In 1912 I commenced to cut on March 4th and quit cut ting May 7th. receiving 35c a pound for the first and the price gradually ran down to 15c at which price the bulk Of the crop was marketed. The total revenue received was s1565. In 1913 l commenced cutting March Sth and quit May 31st, the gross returns for 1913 being s31305. In 1914 I commenced cutting March 5th and quit May 251h and the gross returns were S39s.25.
 In 1914 the price started at BOG a pound and ran down as low as IOc for a few days. but by shipping out a little of the surplus l was able to bring the price back to 15c a pound. at which figure the bulk

berry is variety of recent intro duction, but it promises to become one of the leading varieties. The strawberry season opens about the middle of March and lasts until the middle of July. The price re- ceived for local berries depends great deal on the price of California a premium of fifteen to thirty cents crate above that received for Ca lifornia berries.
 We doubt if there is any place in the country where blackberries yield heavier than in the Salt River Val ley. Records of over five thousand baskets from one quarter of an acre have been made, and with an abund- ant supply of water they grow to large size and delicious quality. The season opens about the first of June and lasts until the middle of July. The average price per crate of fif- teen baskets is about one dollar Raspberries are not grown commer- cially, mainly on account of their being so much more money made on blackberries. the raspberries not yielding near as well. The Black Cap variety is the poorest yielder, and the red the best Raspberries are sold in the half-pound baskets and bring twelve and half to if teen cents per basket

Active Farmers Make Good On Ranches In The Salt River Va
Out or Doors Feeding Sends
 Fat Hogs To Market E0yly

Twenty-Five ye@rs experience in the breeding. growing and fattening of hogs in the Gleadale country leads me to believe that nowhere are the advantages in this country as great as in this valley.
 Here the hogs live out of doors the entire year round, no expensive feeding places are required, continual green alfalfa pasture for twelve months iE the year always at hand, and Milo Maize and Kaffir corn for fattening ahd finishing are natural products of the soil These are the great items that must appeal to the hog man for profit in his business and the chief item for him to con slider before entering this important industry.
 Continual out of doors living with access to the greatest of all forage crops. alfalfa, means bone and muscle for quick and early market growth, large and prolific filters and above all good health and vitality which is Impossible to obtain without great care and expense where adverse con ditions prevail.
 l believe that hogs can be sue CeSsfully grown and marketed from this locality cheaper and with much greater satisfaction to the grower than it is possible from any other section of the United States, there is no place where the hog is more prolific, no place where the ncces- sary conditions are as available, and no place where feeding and care taking are as ideally procured as in the Glendalc conntrX.

matoes. peppers. etc. thrive in the rots. asparagus, and such things, with some of the winter vegetables that will last until early summer are in season. In the fall tate beans, roasting ears. cUcumbers, pumpkins, etc, make q good variety and will be plentiful until the winter supply is ready for use. Last fall l had green beans. tomatoes. etc, until the of potatoes, beans and corn, can be raised each year and this year intend to try to have three crops of roasting ears.
 This spring I planted Irish potatoes about February 10th and the middle of April I had potatoes as large as hens eggs on those vines which had never been irrigated up to that time.
 Garden raising like everything else to be successful requires some at tention and labor. Seed must be planted at the right time and prop erly irrigated and cultivated but the returns for this come in the fresh crisp supply of vegetables for table use or market Now when the price of food stuffs is so high I am sure that our farmers would find it profitable to raise more vegetables.

 Editor Republican:
 l came to the Buckeye Valley and located g miles west of Phoenix with a large family and no means of support. I hauled wood to Phoe- nix at first, bought d claim of 16o acres for $S5OoO, paying for it in wood. and borrowed money; com menced raising alfalfa and sorghum. I started in the bog business with one pet pig as a gift which we raised on a teaspoon. In a few years the field was black with hogs which found very profitable. I also bought TO calves on borrowed money and took bees on shares. traded wood for store boxes which I changed to movable frame hives. I now have about HOO colonies of bees, other stock and so acres of land worth S200 per acre, have graduated four children and am giving two more a fine education, have travelled exten- sively the past five years and have not found a state in the. U. s. as prosperous and climate as beautiful or where the farmers make money as fast as in Arizona, with water just when the crops need it. Two crops of alfalfa hay and two seed crops. or six crops of hay and six months of excellent pasture. Almost every eight years blowing up the all falfa, raising two crops of milo maize. barley or wheat and reseedinG to alfalfa. Dairy cows, hogs and fattening mountain cattle on our hay and winter pasture is all very pro- fitabe.

 In 1911 l planted patch of straw bcrries-ArizoDa EGVerbcaring-a little less than one quarter of acre
 I started to pick them April r., 1912, mi l picked until July 18th and the gross TeturnS were $2S0.20. The picking if paid by the box would have cost q little over $40 and the baskets and crates about $11. making the net returns to the ranch over $220 In January 1912 1 planted not quite an eighth of an acre more to the same variety and April Sth, 1918, I commenced picking berries from these two patches and when I quit picking July 31, l had sold $442SO of berries from less than three eighths of an acre devoted to strawberries. The picking-if all hir- ed-would have cost $75 and the crates and baskets cost $145o, leav- ing a net return to the ranch of a little better than $35O. From the patch set in January 1912, l sold SEQ of plants during the winter of 1912 and 1913. In January 1913 I planted one quarter of an acre more of Arizona Everbearing strawberries and during the winter of 1913 and 1914 I sold $517.S5 of plants. over $4OO of plants from the patch planted >he year before and the balance from those planted in 1912.
 The labor in cultivating and irri- gating strawberries amounted to con siderable From the first of March until the first of october they were irrigated on an average of once in cight days and during the balance of the year about once in twenty four days and from the first of March until the first of August they were cultivated with a one horse cultivation every eight daNS

of the crop was marketed. It re- quired on an average of two and one half hours each day to cut the as paragus and it was not punched. but sold loose. The tops are hood off every winter and on an average is disked four times. cultivated with a one horse cultivator five times and irrigated ten times in each year. I have not fertilized my asparagus at all. but feel sure if I had the time and money to do so, it would in crease the yield and quality fully twenty-five percent.

Absolute profits are guaranteed to the hog man each season and year. with very little care the increase and advancement in his herd will reach his fondeSt expectations, and coupled with good sense and good management he has no chance of failure and is sure of an excellent profit from the results of his la bOr.
 There is always a good market for both feeders and fat stock. hogs are always in demand and it is impos- Sible to oVerdo this great industry In our midst, let me assure every farmer and prospective hog raiser that in this country he will find the natural conditions for this industry always ready at his command and it is 10 his great advantage to come and locate with us and go to it."
