Climate

Many eastern and west coast
people have come TO our state to
enjoy the climate. The altitude
and dry atmosphere with its
health-giving qualities. and the
enjoyment everyone derives from
basking in the sun. It's here
where the roses bloom all winter
and fruit may be picked and eaten
from the tree every month of the
year.
So much for our winter climate.
When il becomes too warm here
In the summer months for COM
fort, there are excellent summer
resorts in the mountains border
ing our valleys and in the north
ern part of our state. A few hours

Cotton. Main Crop Yield

Growing of cotton in and around

Of these 100000 acres and the
land is capable of producing yields
per acre far above the Pinal
county average. Yields of one
thousand pounds of lint per acre
are not uncommon. and the his
tory of the land in cultivation
since 1937-3S shows five year av-
erages Of six hundred pounds of
lint. The 1946-47 crop, which is
not the best ever produced in this
area, is showing returns of
10000 per acre and more and
it has been shown repeatedly that
land can be purchased and paid
for in one crop. with normal
yield and prices such as are in
effect now.

Livestock

The main business in Eloy Is,
of course, agriculture. but We do

hegira stalks and ensilage as well
as the grain stubble and cotton
stalks. All of these contain fat
tening substances and many cattle
and sheep are finished for market
on these fields in the fall and win
ter.
The alfalfa fields yield from
four TO seven cuttings annually
with heavy tonnage. depending on
the quality of the land. irrigation
water and care. The prices fol-
alfalfa range from twenty to for

Highways and Roads in
Santa Cruz River ValIev

Eloy has an excellent arterial
highway going through town and
the immediate area is served with
rural roads which are, in most
cases, surfaced with gravel or with
local topping.
Due to the restrictions of the
war years, many of the outlying
roads are only graded as many
new farming communities have
developed recently and the short
age Of manpower and machines
has hindered the progressive coun.
ty road plan.
The Coolidge examiner., 1946-12-06

Chickens of all varieties do well
here. and especially the White
Leghorns which have wonderful
laying records.
Turkeys in great quantities are

so thrive with the local small
grain and alfalfa affording ample
feed.
