Gila River Valley Offers

Gila BendA located in the center of the Gila River
valley offers the merchant of tomorrow one of the
greatest opportunities in the entire state of Arizona
Already the thriving little town has every known

Gila River valley.
The Gillespie dam has reclaimed 81, 600 acres of
the most fertile soil known to agriculture and the

G|LA RIVER VALLEY
RAPIDLY GAINING
DUE RECOGNITION

Evidence that the ella River val
ley is rapidly gaining recognition all
over the country as the most won
derful opportunity known for agri-
culturists IS being shown daily by the
many letters coming to different mer-
chants Of the city and the Chamber
of Commerce for detailed info,ma :
tion concerning the new project.
In order that this information may
be given fully the following general
description OF the problem of recla
nation and irrigation had been pre-
pared by those in close touch with
the Gila valley:
The Gila valley which adjoins the
Salt River valley is irrigated from
the ella river through the Gillespie
dam which has proved to be one OF
the outstanding engineering features
OF its kind in the entire United
States. The main canal which leaves
the Gila river is AZ miles in length
from which adequate laterals have
been built for irrigation of the entire
project which now embraces over
IS, 900 acres. The canals are built
for permanence having cement head
gates in all Of them.
The Gila river, from which the
Gillespie dam diverts its whole body
OF water, is the natural typographical
drain for an area OF such vast pro-
portions that its capacity is obvious
to anyone who has the slightest
knowledge OF engineering The Gil
lespie dam is SO constructed across
the ella river. with its concrete
foundation down to solid bed rock,
that not only Is the surface water
controlled and diverted to its canals,
but all of its underground water is
likewise made available and utilized.
This dam is 1900 feet long, and with
its shoulders locked in the mountains
on both sides, there is no oppor-
tunity or outlet for the water to go
anywhere except to the canals pro-
vided by this project.
over 1000 acres of the new land
just reclaimed by the Gillespie dam,
all close to Gila Bend, has been
cleared and seeded to alfalfa or
planted to citrus fruits or grapes.
The ella river valley is the reclp-
lent of the flow of water from
watershed and drainage area of ap-
proximately $4,000 square miles. 1t
will soon become known as the Nile
valley of America"
ella Bend has the advantage OF a
mean average temperature through
out the year of 72 degrees r., flow
of mineral waters with curative prop
critics and possibilities for a wide
range of agricultural products.
The ella valley project embraces
gently sloping area along the banks
of the ella river, presenting an ideal
topography for irrigation farming:
Near the center Of the reclaimed
acreage is located the thriving little
town of ella Bend. on the main line
OF the Southern Pacific railroad, the
railroad traversing more than half
the length of the project. ella Bend
is a division. point and the junction
of a standard guage line which runs
southwark to Ajo. The railroad
company has completed surveys for
an extension into Mexico which will
place Gila Bend 1873 miles by rail
from a deep water port on the Gulf
of California. Material Is now being
unloaded by the state highway de-

ture. The Arizona orchardist has
first call on the eastern markets and
the mining towns in this locality pro-
vide another market that no outside
grower can reach to compete in. Fhe
popular varieties OF greaches grown
here are the Alberta. Salway, late
Crawfords. Heath. and Phillips cling.
Prices for these fruits usually range
around six cents a pound.
The favorite varieties of the Ari-
zona apricots are the Royal-the
standard brand Of the southern CALI
fornia orchards Moorpark, Blen-
helm. Newcastle and Peachcot. The
fruit. which ripens early, can be dis
posed Of fresh from the trees, in the
local market and adjoining mining
towns. but the, high prices offered by
the outside markets often prompt the
grower to ship his crops outside OF
the state
Pears have always occupied ia
yorite place among the deciduous
fruit growers Of the southwest and
thet find a ready sale just as rapid
" as they ripen. With proper culti-
vation and care, pears will grow here
to remarkable proportions and all
of the best brands will flourish.
Plums. Of all kinds, have been sue
cessfully grown in this section OF
Arizona since fruit farming was first
introduced here and the juicy defect

the proper care will bear 900 pounds
and better in A single season. The
olive trees here are free from the
pests common to other localities.
Altitude Favorable
The altitude of the Gila River val
lev Is a very favorable factor in the
growing of citrus fruits. it being 400
feet lower than that Of Phoenix. Ari-
zona oranges and grapefruit ripen
early in November. and the major
part OF the crops are shipped before
most Of the California and Florida
fruits begin to come into the mar
kets. This ensures an early holiday
demand for these products with their
accompanying substantial prices.
The earliest Arizona oranges often
average from $3.50 to SO per box
higher than those which come from
the competing districts. Lemons,
too. win grow in this valley and
while no large orchards have yet
been planted, the combination OF cli-
mate. soil and altitude assures a
highly successful field for this
product.
The Mexican lime. a fruit very
much in demand in the higher priced
markets. will flourish I'm this region
and the orchardist that applies
substantial acreage to these lines
will enjoy a generous profit on his
crops with very little competition.

SOIL Of G|LA VALLEY DECLARED
To Be UNEXCE[LED FOR GROWING
Of ALL KINDS DEC|DUOUS FRUITS

Orchardists who have learned of
the chemical properties Of the soil in
the ella river valley have been in
vestigating the possibilities of plant
ing large orchards in the new valley
during the past few weeks. The ma
jority of these men are not only ex-
perienced fruit growers but under
stand the exact soil and climatic con-
ditions necessary for complete sue
cess in. the industry.
The report of one of these men
after his investigation is particularly
gratifying to everyone in the Gila
River valley who have been contem-
plating the planting Of orchards. His
report shows that the growing of de-
ciduous fruits in the Gila River wall
