Bird's-Eye View of the
Famous Glendale District
BY RAYMOND DYAS
Secretary Glendale Dist. Com'l Club
In the not distant past the Glendale
district was one of the principal dairy
centers of the Salt River valley.
Broad acres of the succulent alfalta
supported many herds of dairy cows,
and for years this industry flourished,
causing the erection here of one of the
largest milk canning plants in the
West. This was before the advent of
the American variety of Egyptian, long
staple cotton. Now cotton as king has
supplanted the queen of the dairy herd,
but the faithful cow has left her in
delible mark upon the soil, and though
relegated temporarily to the back
ground of agricultural industry, con
tinues to make her former presence
felt in the richness of the land upon
which she once reigned supreme.
For dairying of past years in this
district has so enriched the soil that
the cotton grower, supplanting the
dairyman, finds this former fertiliza
tion of the land, coupled with the fact
that natural chemical fertilizing prop
erties exist in the soil Itself, has made
it an ideal section for the culture of
long staple cotton. Bumper crops are
the rule here and the avejage yield is
higher, per acre, perhaps, than in any
other single district in the Salt River
valley.
The Glendale district, lying some
nine miles northwest of Fhoenix, on
the main line of the S. F., P. & P. rail
way Santa Fe system), comprises
about 40,000 acres under irrigation. On
the north it is bounded by the desert
and Phoenix mountains, sloping gently
toward the river on th esouth, present
ing a natural drainage. ' This, cpupled
with the fact that the distric t lies some
25 to 50 feet above the water table
level of the valley, has preserved it
from waterlogging, except in a few
spots near the river.
Tho soil is the fertile "Glendale
loess," a silt and sandy loam forjnation,
the former averaging about 40 per
cent, and built up by ages of overflow,
extending down for a depth of more
than 100 feet in majiy places. In ad
dition to the richness of the land as a
result of years of dairying,- .the soil is
high in chemical fertilizer content, be
ing heavily impregnated with lime,
potash and phosphoric acid, the latter
element existing here in the surprising
proportion of 0.22 per cent. With
proper crop rotation the richness of
this soil should last for ages.
In keeping with other parts of the
Salt River valley, the Glendale district
presents a long growing season, from
April to October, while the mild win
ters, the nearness of the mountains,
the character of the soil, the never-
failing irrigation supply, make it ideali
for the culture of long staple cotton,
garden truck, citrus fruits and like
products. .
Glendale, a growing, busy commu
nity of 3200 population, is the commer
cial center of this district, amply pre
pared to care for the commercial and
financial heeds of tho suburban as well
as urban residents. Its schools, homes,
stores, banks, churches, lodges, etc.,
will compare favorably with those
found in any city of a similar size.
To the north v est of Glendale, some
4Va miles, is Peoria, with 500 or 600
population, and rapidly expanding.
During the past year Peoria has prac
tically doubled her population and
greatly increased her business district.
Surrounding Peoria are to be found
some of the finest ranches in the Glen
dale district, while on to the northwest
is Marinette, a Comparatively new
community on the edge of- the desert,
the center of a tract of some 20,000
acres being developed by the South
west Cotton company.
All lands of the Glendale district,
with the exception of those about
Marinette, where pumping plants have
been installed, are under the famous
Roosevelt Irrigation project. Iand
values in the district range from $400
to $600 an acre, depending upon loca
tion and the class of. improvements.
Rent values range from $60 to $75 per
acre . per annum. Cotton productiqn
last season averaged well above bale
to the acre. Cantaloupes yielded 223
to 300 crates per acre, bringing growers
a net of $2.40 to $2.60 per. crate.
Wheat produced 50 to 60 bushels per
acre; milo maize from 2Vt to 3 tons
per acre; corn 90 bushels per acre;
oats, rye, barley and the other grains
showing equally heavy yields. Alfalfa
yields 7 to 10 tons per acre per year.
In brief, the Glendale district pre
sents an extremely rich soil, a long
growing season, unfailing water sup
ply, freedom from waterlog and hard
pan," an ideal climate, the long grow
ing season so essential to long staple
cotton culture, mild winters, absence of
storms and high winds, freedom from
killing frosts a land of opportunity
for the agriculturist, the investor, the
home maker or the healthseeker.
