According to a report filed yester-
day with Gov. Thomas E. Campbell
by Raymond Dyas, state inspector of
weights and measures, for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1922, a total
of 2,45S inspections were made dur
ing the year. The total cost of the
inspections. the report shows. was

the office during the year were
$5S9.S5. Inspections were not made
in Apache. Navajo, Greenlee or Yuma

of lack of funds for the work.

INTENSIVE FARMING
IDEA GETS START IN
ALEXANDRIA DISTRICT

The first move in the intensive
farming program. said by experts TO
be the only means for further agri-
cultural development of the valley,
has been taken.
Several Alhambra men have Joined
hands to give the scheme a trial.
They have pooled interests in 100
acre tract where intensive farming
will be carried on. The entire acre
age will be given over to plum cul-
ture, in tracts of from two to ~
acres.
Plum trees are to be set out within
the next few weeks. About 80 acres
will be set to Santa Rosa plums, con-
sidered the leading single variety.
The remaining 10 acres will be set
to Satsuma and other popular va
rieties. Arrangements now are being
made with a local nursery for the
nursery stock, according to the an
nouncement yesterday. i,
Agricultural experts are agreed
that productivity of Salt River valley
lands can be increased four or five
times through adaptation of an in
tensive farming program, H. G.
Heard, county agricultural agent, de-
clared yesterday.
"Under present farming methods,
the valley just about has reached the
end of it's development" he said. IF
the plan for intensive farming can
be put into practice, there not only
will be big increase in the product
i've value of land per acre. but a
tremendous increase in the taxable
wealth of the valley. Intensive farm
ing also would make the present
tillabIe acreage support a much
larger population.
1T becomes incumbent upon the
farmers to take advantage of the
natural opportunities afforded them
here; to take advantake of climatic
and soil conditions and produce those
crops that other sections of the ma
ton cannot produce and produce
them intensively.
Certain fruits and vegetables come
within this scope. There should be
highly developed farm lands in the
culture of produce where there is ex-
ceptional freedom in the market
when these products are ready for
harvest" lF"
Mr. Heard referred to the devel-
opment of the Alhanbra acreage as
an indication of a growing tendency
toward thrift on the part of the
farmers"
Among the growers who have
Joined the plum agreement are L.
H. Seargent, John w. Jones. Edward
McDaniels. Earl Shumaker. r. E.
Grouse, D. o. Halstead. Walter Jones.
d. w. Fountain and others.
BY virtue of the size of the order
for nursery stock, together with
sufficient cash payment to make
firm bid. the local nursery company
was able to make a very attractive
price to the growers on this order. it
was announced yesterday.

The Epworth leagues of each city

majority probably will go in motor

pose, az it is % miles from Lake
