PHYSICAL CULTURE
lBY c. Orande WaIdl

Physical culture, medical gymnas- tics. athletics. etc:
 These few short articles are an an swer to the hundreds of requests for me to write on the subjects men, toned l had almost promised my self never to write on those subjects. First Because I have very little time to spare. and. Second; Because it is impossible to teach the subject proper ly through the written word However when I see how hard we are riding the hobby" and what passes for cor rect methods in physical culture, l deem it q duty to say few words.
 The aim of physical culture should be to develop the body so that every voluntary part of it Is under perfect control, to increase endurance, reserve force and poice to develop a sym metrine beautiful body capable of the highest efficiency.
 l make this assertion with the full understanding of what it means Any person whose vital organs are normal can either reduce or increase his weight increase or reduce the flesh in any part of his body by correct and systematic course in physical cul ture and dieting. The aim of medical gymnastics is to correct deformities such as round. stopped shoulders. flat chest, extremely thin, emacrated mus cles. etc.
 It should be born in mind that it re- quires patience, will-power and self denial of some of your pet habits, to take systematic course in either one, and like every thing else worth having; it requires hard. but not un- pleasant work if you have the proper instruction.
 Athletics, is either different from the two subjects mentioned. as it is a

w itth} iitt1h}l1EE T he F F araaers Of The
 Salt River Valley

Ten and a half million dollars is the estimated value of the crops ot Maricopa county, for. the past year, according to the most. accurate figures available to the farm bureau of Maricopa county. From figures given by the United States department of agriculture, the total crop value of the state was estimated at $lS,62600 thus indicating that the value of the crops in Maricopa county represented 51 per cent of the crops of the entire state.
 The principal crops entering into this grand total were 100 900 acres of alfalfa which produced hay valued at 5000, 900. Grain sorghums on 35,700 acres, produced more than S1,- 250,000. Thirty-one thousand acres of barley, wheat and oats together with the cotton on less than 10000 acres produced $2.000.000 more. Cantaloupes and W9termelonS brought the farm CTS more than a quarter of a million dollars and fruit, garden and truck crops, produced a half million dollars more.
 The figures given above do not by any means indicate the actual cash received by the farmers for their products, as they have learned that in the long run it pays to feed their hay and grain to dairy cows, beef cattle hogs and poultry.
 The dairy products bring to the country more than s2.000,0OO. The increase in value of the dairy cattle in 1916 on the Salt River project alone was $l.32S.595 more than the valua- ton in 1915. A part of this was, it is true. for cattle which were shipped into the country from other states.
 Probably 30, 900 beef cattle are fed annually in the country, at a good profit No accurate figures are avail able showing the number of hogs

ing physical culture by mail, or thel printed word and when people take ir up, try to follow direction as printed and shown by illustrations and derive no benefit from it. they got discour- aged and condemn physical culture as worthless. They fail to take into consideration the individual tempera ment. condition of health, mode of life and dozens of other things that you can only know by personal ex- animation of each case in order to treat intelligently to obtain best re- suits, consequently it is absolutely necessary for the instructor to have thorough knowledge of anatomy, phys iology and dieting at least and up to the present time there is not one recognized school in the United States teaching physical culture. so it seems to me il would be money well spent

produced, but it is not at all improb- able that the industry may bring close to s1,000,060 to the farmers of the county.
 Poultry usually considered small business nets the farmers and poultry breeders more than $300,00 each year.
 Fifteen per cent of the farmers of the country own motor cars, about five per cent having purchased cars this past year.
 Sales in all lines reported show an increase of 30 per cent in the city of Phoenix over 1915, and 20 per cent increase in the county.
 Post office receipts are usually con : sidered to be one of the best baro- meters of business conditions, and the receipts of the Phoenix post office for 1916 were S157.000, an increase of 21 per cent over 1915.
 The prosperity of Arizona is not by any means confined to Maricopa coun- ty, on the contrary it is due in no small degree to the general pros perity. c
 The mines of the state produced s190.000,00O last year, 30 per cent of all the copper produced in the entire United States. The other mines have brought the total production up to more than $200,000,000.
 Eight hundred thousand range cattle and almost two million sheep grazc our national forests and the range of the state. and with yearling steers bringing $33 per head and wool worth 95 cents per pound. and spring lambs SIP per hundredweight, the revenue from these sources adds to the general prosperity. puts money into circulation and benefits all.
 SUDAN GRASS
 A farmer living near Phoenix. asks about Sudan grass as crop to be
Arizona republican., 1917-01-28

planted in an old Bermuda grass field. The fIeid has heen-fn alfalfa, but is now largely Bermuda. This farmer proposes to disc in Sudan grass seed this spring and asks us for advice.
 Sudan grass belongs to the sorghum family of plants, and is somewhat similar in general appearance to John son grass. Sudan being somewhat taller, little more erect in it's growth, with broader leaves. Those who have tried out Sudan grass in the Salt River Valley are enthusiastic in it's praise. At the Salt River Valley Ex- pertinent farm in 1913 yields of more than seven tons were obtained from seed sown May 3l, at the rate of 15 pounds to the acre. Experiments have been continued since and in 1915, Sudan was tried out as d pasture plant. and it was found that an acre would furnish pasture for twenty sheep for a period of 100 days In other experiments the same year it was announced that Sudan was a bet ter summer pasture crop than alfalfa. When sown with alfalfa, it prevents bloat in cattle or sheep. Experiments Tn Sudan for hay, as compared with sorghum, produced a yield of eight and one-half tons of hay, against tons of Club top sorghum.
 Sudan grass is an annual, and does not have the root system with the habit of spreading from the root stocks, which makes Johnson grass so obnoxious. The plant IS warm weather plant and does it's best during the warmest part of the year, hence there is little to be gained in planting it until the ground is well warmed up. In the case of this farmer who would SOW it. in a Bermuda field. we would advise grazing closely in May. the ir- rigating and disking. following with the seed at not less than fifteen pounds to the acre. Sudan grass is high, and one may hesitate about expcnding $5 to s6 for seed for an acre. but this hsould be considered from the standpoint of results, rather than first cost, and the difference in the returns from an acre should be the determining factor.

 Physical culture never made champion. but laid the foundation on which special training De laid to pro- duce a champion.

THE. FARM LOAN LAW

We have several inquiries in regard to the provisions of the Farm Loan Law, and asking for information re- sardina the methods of obtaining loans under the act.
 The Farm Loan Act provides for twelve farm loan banks in different sections of the country The farm loan bank for this district is in Cali fornia. Farm loan associations com posed of at least ten prospective borrowers for each association are the local institutions for putting the farm loan act into effect.
 Only those who are bona fide farm CTS, or who expect to purchase farms are eligible to take advantage of the provisions of the law. Land owners only who are cultivatlng their land are eligible to take advantage of the act. A sum of money up to 50 per cent of the assessed valuation of the land and 2G per cent of the improve ments can he borrowed. and first mortgage given as security.
 In each local association a board of appraisers is chosen who must fix the value of the land to be mortgaged. This valuation is determined by the actual earning power of the land. For this reason. unmproved land m this section which is not producing would not be subject to the provisions Of the act Aften the local board has passed upon the valuation, an ap- praiser is sent from the land bank. md he must be satisfied with the valuation set by the local board
 Land owning farmers who wish to Norrow morey under the provisions of this law should join the nearest Farm
