Plum Tree Wonder

The St. Johns Herald records
the production of fruit on one
Starks Early Golden plum tree in
the orchard of H. C. Overson Of
that place. The tree is of medi-
um size and 200 pounds of fruit
has already been picked and
sold, yet the tree is loaded with
fruit. A two foot branch holds
II plums of about the size of
hen eggs, and a small twig two
inches long holds nine plums.
This is a most remarkable record
for one tree. Special interest is
attached to this report because
the claim is made that this vari-
ETY. of plums are practically sure
croppers every year.

zone. Alfalfa is cut from one to
three times per season. Wheat
is planted in March instead of in
fall as practice in southern Ari-
zona. Oats are planted in June
and make a bumper crop. There
are several grist and flour mills
run by water power. At Eagar
there is a splendid opportunity
to develop water power adequate
to all the needs of the valley.
The method of irrigating is
quite differnt from our familiar
border method. Many of the
people came from the northwest
and they brought with them the
corrugtion methods which is
much used in Utah, Idaho and
Washington. Instead of being
borderded, the ground is cor
rogated with little bitches about
four inches deep by six inches
wide. These little corrugations
are made from 16 to 20 inches
apart, and run down the steepest
slope. In irrigating they are
operated in groups of 10 or IL.
One experienced farmer divides
his head of 80 miners inches
among 140 corrugations, but
many farmers use about aminer's
inch to the corrugation. The
theory is that the water sub-irri-
gates to the plant roots, leaving
mulch on the ground surface
and thus obviating the baking of
the surface. The method is
adapted to small heads of water
where the ground has consider
able slope.
A principal industry is graz
ing, both of cattle and sheep.
There is large expanse of coun-
try which is still covered with a
continuous turf of blue grama
grass, while below 5000 feet
there is much fine topped SAGA
ton. Dry farming along the
slopes where the best soil exists
is meeting with much success.
But the chief glory of the
region is in the sts-largely
pine, but with cedar at lower
attitudes and spruces, frs and
aspens at the higher attitudes.
The forests of pine which ex-
tends from Flagstaff along the
Mogollon Rim into New Mexico
is the largest forest in America.
The people of the region seem to
be great lovers of trees and every
hamlet has it's double rows of
shade trees. No other city or
village in Arizona can compare
with Snowflake and st. Johns in
this respect. Long rows of tall
Lombardy poplars, long leaved
poplars, boxeIder and locust form
living arches above every street.
Lumber is used largely for busi-
ness houses and many log houses
are still to be seen. Great barns
are built on each farm, as in the
northern states, and the stock
are well housed through the long
winters. The people are very
progressive, thrifty and hospit-
able.
At st. Johns the big Lyman
dam, which was washed out two
years ago, is being rebuilt. M.
C. Hinderlider, who designed the
irrigation system of the Tucson
Farms company and who is we'll
remembered here, is the chief
engineer, both at the Lyman
dam and at the Woodruff dam on

found that Apache county has
spent two bond issues on its roads
and has accomplished wonders in
spite of two great obstacles,
namely, lack of first class road
metal and lack of rain to keep
the road surface bound together.
The only criticism land it ii offer
ed in a helpful spirit is that
deep ruts are allowed to wear in
the new roads, making it difficult
to pass vehicles and causing the
roads to wear out abnormal "
fast. Perhaps the tendency to
form ruts could be reduced by
building the surface with a fiat
ter crown, by more rolling and
by dragging after rains, and by
big signs imploring drivers not
to follow the ruts. The road
from Winslow to Springervilie is
part Of the state road system and
many parts of it have been built
by the state engineers. 1t passes
directly thru the petrified forest,
where wonderful tree trunks of
agate ond jasper, many of them
over one hundred feet long, lie
scattered about. This road and
the widely known hospitality of
Springerville have attracted
most of the transcontinental
touring travel during the sum-
mer months. Each afternoon
while | was there the Saffell
hotel turned people away, and
each night automobile tourists
were camped under the trees
around the hotel and on vacant
ground near the center of the
town.
1t will be Of local interest to
know that a good automobile
road is being built across the
mountains from Clifton to Spring
erville. When it is done a most
interesting scenic trip from Tue
son will be to go to Springerville
via Stafford and Clifton, return
ing via Fort Apache, Globe and
the Roosevelt reservoir. These
routes pass through the heart OF
the White mountains, where are
located the finest camping, fish
ing and hunting grounds in the
southwest veritables paradise
in which to enjoy a summer vaca-
ton.
