Half of the journey is through the Superstition Mountains. These great rock barriers are fun of deep canyons, weird forms and wildly col ored rock masses. The trip is a never ending surprise. The splendid view overlooking Fish Creek. where the little stopping station it like a dot in the canyon bottom over ( sheer thou sand feet below, is only one of the delights. In part the road runs along the bank of.the Salt River. and at this point the stream resembles a quiet eastern base river oddly shaped cactus growths abound every where, and the frequent glimpses of birds and animal life on the journey add new and interesting features at every turn

When labor was hard to secure the Indian became the workman and hundreds of them worked in the building Of the road, laying the rock walls with great skill. quickly becoming prof. cient in the handling of powder and in making the great rock cuts which are so frequent in the Eastern half of the trip.

 With the stored water locked up in the hills. the farmer in the valley is safe in his farming operations. He can plan ahead with safety He knows that against the time of need the water is waiting his call upon it.

The Salt River Valley is a land where the small farm is at its best. Twenty or forty acre tracts farhed by the owners will be the great factors in the success Of any Irrigation pro. jeets In this valley. set under the smiling sun, fields are green the year round. trees and an things never stop growing. and the climate makes for health Here is the sort of place where you have SO long promised to establish yourself The land is work ed easily, the surface makes irriga- ton easy, and with everything else Co help and encourage labor is light.
 How much land is required is de termIned not SO much by the produc- tions as by the ability and the effort of the asriculturist.
 The twenty-aCre tracts are well recommended. Many are making living on ten acres but the amount of cn1rt of the right sort win count more than the large amount of land.
 Here Is a farmer with eight acres. lie secured returns Of sl.O35 from eight acres Of corn and wheat simply by following good farming methods.
 Peter Godfrey farmer on the Salt River Project near Tempe, has set the pace for farmers in this val ley by securing returns of S1036 from eight acres Of corn and wheat simply by following good farming methods. Not only did Mr. Godfrey get returns Of S129 90 per acre. but he demon tratod that corn may be anvantage- uusly raised in this section.
 In January. 1922. MT Godfrey plant cd wheat on his eight-acre tract. The difference in this field of wheat and other fields grown in the valley was that the ground was leyeled and pul, ycrized and put in perfect condition 10 receive the seed. When the wheat was harvested it yielded 20 sacks 10 the acre, which Is about five sacks over the average production This wheat was worth $15O per houndred pounds. or $336 for the eight acres. After the wheat was harvested the ground was put in shape for corn piOwed narrowed, and bordered the same as for a wheat crop
 The corn was watered four times during the first thirty days and thor. oughly cultivated after each watering Al the end of this period the corn was in tassel and the ears were set. Seven. ty bushels were harvested from each acre and sold at 2 cents per pound, or sG27 for the field, making a total Of S1036 for the eight acres of corr and wheat He claims that by more carefully selecting his seed he can dc even better, and any farmer can dc as well if he will carefully and prop erly plant and cultivate

 For one year Sloan leased land and he made so much money that he de. cided to own a farm Of his own. Ac- cordingly he made Dudley Lewis, a pioneer of the Mesa district, an offer for sixty acres of Lewis's holdings.
 Lewis agreed to take S1S5 an acre s1 .O0O to be paid down and the re. mainder in installments of S2.OO a year Sloan accepted and paid the thousand That left a belance of s10.- OOo
 At the end of the first year Sloan approached Lewis and asked him il he would accept S5,OOO as his first an nual payment He added that he ex. pected to pay the remainder the sol- lowing year.
 Sloan planted ten acres of the sixty in truck garden and the remaining fifty in Egyptian cotton. which within the last two years has become one of the leading crops of the Salt River Valley The truck garden paid the living expenses of himself and family and also paid the cost of growing the cotton. leaving the cotton crop as clear profit
