MORE PEOPLE and
RANCHES FOR THE
SALT RIVER VALLEY
BY n. c. Heard,
County Agricultural Agent


The evolution Of agriculture in the
Salt River valley has been most in
teresting and instructive. A number
OF years age the primary object
seemed to be to raise feed for feed
ing cattle and horses Grain farm
ing held the limelight for a time
until it became more or less unprof-
table to raise grain under our ao-
vancing conditions, and next in line
came the development of the dairy
business. Returns from dairy cattle
being out of adjustment with returns,
Tor a time, from cotton, caused the
decline Of the dairy industry to
most unhealthy point after which II
has again begun to come into more
or less prominence. Cotton was great
ly in the ascendancy for a year OF
two and the question is, what should
be next? Farm holdings, as a rule,
are large, very probably too large;
but when these are cut up to become
the homes OF more people, judgment
must be used.
Magazine articles were written In
great numbers a few years ago, deal
ing with the proposition that man
can make money on farm almost the
size OF CITY lot. This thing has new
err been done, without question, and
most of the articles, when read, were
found to contain an account of some
one who was able to make a bare
living from very small plot OF
ground by virtue Of his raising some
Intensive product which so few peo-
pie wanted that no one else happened
4-s~
piles were based on such conditions
that they were not generally apple
able and Of value to agriculture, and
there seemed to be no way to apply
satisfactorily the principles of inten-
sive cultivation on very small farms
through the great bulk of agricul-
tural districts
Must Be on Big Scale
No doubt this will always be true
Producing the staple products which
the consumer demands must always
be on a big scale or the standard OF
living must be lowered to the point
where the farmer can make an exist
ence by virtue of his greater econ
omy, rather than a living, and enjoy
himself while doing so. Still 1t Is
undoubtedly true that there are toe
many large holdings in the Salt Riv-
er valley and that the next stage
in the evolution OF the Salt River
valleys agriculture should be to see
holdings cut up into smaller tracts
and improved by far more numer-
GUS population.
This subdivision must be formed or
a sound. rational basis or nothing
but failure can result. The first thins
necessary is doubtless the advance
ment of the Salt River valley as q
region OF homes. No part Of the Unit
ed States offers greater inducement;
for home building. With a climat,
adapted to fruit, ornamental vegeta,
ton and garden stuff throughout thu
entire year, with the most comfort.
able winter climate one can imagine
and with summers less oppressive
than the winters throughout the bull
Of the United States, there is no rea-
son why people should not invest II
Salt River valley property as mucI
for home purposes as for business
investment.
The development OF homes means
the incorporation of certain agricul
tural practices which will tend to
ward greater economic independence
of the farmer. 1t means utilization o

ARIzoNA,s TYPE RRoRLEM

The type problem for Arizona
farmers has been largely to find the
most profitable form in which to
market the alfalfa crop. Efforts in
this direction have resulted in the
following types Of farming: Hay
farming, sale OF pasture, production
of alfalfa seed, dairy farming, fat
tening beef cattle. diversified farm
ing. and production of miscellaneous
types of livestock.

DAIRY FARMING GROWING

Dairy farming Is a welI-established
enterprise and is steadily growing in
importance. The mild winter climate,
the long growing season, and the
abundance of green forage due TO
the thrifty alfalfa plant, all combine
to make southern Arizona a con-
genial home for the dairy COW. The
farmers are coming more and more
to realize the stability Of the dairy
enterprise.

A clever, short passing game, bet

won for the Islanders, who played
like real champions. The local squad
got away to a poor start and was
unable to find itself in the first pc

its passing poor and its general play

Douglas Wins In First
The Islanders won the game in the
first half. Two goals each by Witt

one by Manning with three from the
foul line by earn gave them a total
of 10 points for the initial period.
The best the City five could do was
cage one shot, Burford being re-
sponsible for the score.
In the second period, Juneau start

sufficient money to so ahead with

A goal from scrimmage by Sporting
and two additional single pointers by
Burford brought Juncau's total for
the second half up to points and
there it stopped.
Defense S.ffens
Juneau's defense in the second half
stiffened some, slowing down the
Islanders scorers, the latter being
held to nine points for the half Most
of the play, however was under the
Douglas goal the High School lads
missing a number of chances to
score.
Wiitanen was leading noint gettcr
for the Islanders with five goals from
scrimmage. earn was held down to
one basket from scrimnage but
scored four out of seven shots from
the foul line. Nelson Gagged two from

against Hughes, dividing the tipoff
