GOVERNMENT TO SELL
 500 FARMS AT YUMA

Widespread interest is evinced il the unique plan of the government tC sell at public auction 800 farms ir Yuma valley, Arizona, on December 10. The land has been Subdivideo into 5, 10 and 20-acre units, and not more than 40 acres will be sold to ar individual.
 Owing to the fact that this govern ment land occupies region practical | ly free from frost, citrus fruit grow CTS of Florida are greatly interested.
 The Accessful bidder at this sale will find home in a climate having the smallest rainfall the lowest rela- tive humidity and greatest percentage of sunshine occurring in any of the citrus districts of the country. This combination is particularly favorable to the products peculiar to the mesa lands.
 The sale will be in charge of the United States reclamation service, Washington, D. C., and a pamphlet fully describing these lands and the terms and conditions of sale will be furnished homeseekers upon request to the statistician of this bureau.
 In addition to several unsurpassed varieties of oranges, grapefruit and lemons, these lands are especially we'll adapted to the culture of numerous other fruits, such as dates, olives, grapes and figs. The Deglet Moor and kindred varieties of dates can be grown to great advantage here; olives of superior quality, grapes of European and other varieties and ex- cellent raisins, figs of sweet, deli cate flavor which can be produced only in a dry, warm climate are safe and profitable on these mesa lands, as are also truck crops, among which special mention must be given to can taloupes, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The truck crops and grapes may be interplanted between the rows of cir- rus trees in young orchards. The early growing season and good rail road facilities give this section market advantages superior to other parts of the country. Domestic water from wells is of good quality.
 The minimum bid acceptable for these lands, including water rights, is $225 per acre, of which 10 per cent must accompany the bid and will be returned if the bid is rejected; 15 per cent must be paid within 60 days after acceptance of bid, and the balance in three equal annual instalments, mak ing a total of three years and 60 days time in which to make complete payment. There are no restrictions as to the residence of purchasers.

Gold Is found In Sumatra the

prepared by the United states Depart
mcnt OF Agriculture)
A good drainage system on a fertile
arm that is not naturally well dralned
Is permanent improvement which
continues to pay dividends in the form
Of increased crop production. (City
gardens and lawns frequently need
iralnage. and IL properly tiled.
would be greatly improved.) Tile
drains usually give more thorough
drainage than open bitches. They
occupy no land surface and do not In
terfere with farming operations. II
properly constructed they require al
most no expenditure for maintenance.
Economic Arrangement.
The most economic arrangement Of
the drainage system Is one that per
mits the use Of long laterals and re-
quires the shortest total length Of
main drains. No hard and fast rule
can be given for determining the size
Of the tile to be used. Drains should
be large enough to remove the sur
plus water before the crops are in
jured. It is better to use sizes too
large than too small, and no tile less
than four inches in diameter should

where the average rainfall is approx
mately 80 inches. eight-inch tile having
fall Of two Inches to 100 feet will
provide outlet drainage for 40 acres /;
seven-inch tile for 30 acres. six-inch
tile for 10 acres and four-inch tile for
six acres.
The proper depth for drain tiles de-
ponds upon the soil and varies from
two TO four feet In heavy silt loans
the depth should be from two TO three
feet. In this case the laterals should
be placed from 30 to 40 feet apart In
open soils that give up water readily,
and where the drains are three to four
feet deep, the laterals may be from 80
to $50 feet apart. In the more porous
soils the space may be even greater.
Secure Proper Fall.
The drainage should have n fall Of
not less than one inch to 100 feet If
possible and greater fall than this is
very desirable. Where little fall is OBJ
tanned, particular care must be taken
TO secure a proper grade. The drain
