A Lesson in Intensive Farming by
R. H. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station.
University of Arizona,
January 15, 1SKI7.
Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial
llood-plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm
or7.2 acres whicli on May 1, 1005, was virgin
bottomland, covered with saltwecd, arrow
brush and creosote bushes. The original
purpose or the tract was for planting selected
varieties of date palms imported by the U. S.
Department ' of Agriculture from the Old
World. The Experiment station. May 2. be
gan preparing the ground, and on May '20 the
work of levelling, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting of 152 palms, was
completed.
THE riAX OF WOUIC
Recognizing, however, that a farmer with
his living to make' meantime, cannot atTord
to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,
it was planned to plant crops for quiclCyre
turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the
work on a feasible basis from-.tbe. Small farm
er's point of view. In order to "economize
ground the irrigating borders were so placed
as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre in
size. Irrigating water from the Colorado
Valley P. & I. Canal was obtained in the cus
tomary manner, and E. L. Crane, himself a
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our "play farm."
In size, as well as in the intensive character
of the work planned, this "farm" is the op
posite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing crops of the region are alfalTa,
com, barley, and forages in general, compara
tively little attention being given to vege
tables and fruits. Withal, the eost of levelling
land in this region is high, rarely falling be
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, ex
clusive of maintenance, of the Government
Irrigating system now under construction
will bo about S3.50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other"heavy items ,
of expense In connection with tne establish
ment of a farm in this region, intensive crops
of a more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. It was partly,
t herefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general situa
tion, that this cultural work was planned.
KECIVMATION OF THE GROUND-
The soil of our tract, a warm, sandy loam
well adapted to gardening operations, was
levelled, ditched and bordered at a contract
price of S17 2(i an acre, considerably less than
the aerage for the locality, reckoning the
labor of men and teams at current rates. In
addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing
cost SG0-10; lumber for headgates cost S3S1.57;
a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout
pump and a barrel, SKi.45; a small lumber
two-room house, including rive and one-half
days carpenter hire, Slo2.7o", and a brush-roof
shelter for horses, about $5.00. Only skilled
labor employed in levelling, bordering and
ditching the ground, and for part construc
tion of the house, is Included in the above
estimates, ns the common labor required or
dinarily would be, and in this case was, fur
nished by the farmer himself.
To bring this ground under cultivation and
make it habitable for a small farmer and his
family, as suited above, therefore required a
cash outlay of about $400.00. In addition, in
the average instance must be included a
team, wagon, plow, harrow, haying equip
ment, shovels hoes and other small tools.

and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watermelons
and sundry vegetables.
1 he produce was marketed in Yuma with
the exception of tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, were expressed to Tucson and
Bisbee. The following statements for the
various crops are on the basis of net cash le
turns to the small farmer, who with an aver
age family of live and a team of horses is as
sumed to do the work required, as explained
below. Items necessitating cash outlaj-, as
seed, irrigating water, and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Water costs an average
of 50 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown. The yields in certain instances are
low, due to the unimproved condition of the
soil, which, like desert soils in gerial, was
low in nitiogen and organic mutter. Koine
small salty areas also affected yields locally.

The amount of labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the.
transplanting time- One (lay's team work in
preparing the land and about 32 days, men's
time, were required to bring it through, al
though the work was not heavy and could
have been largely performed by boj-s. The
yield was low owing to tbe desert and unfer
tilized character of the sqil, onions requiring
large amounts of organic matter in the soil to
give good results.

The labor on this crop was light, but in this
case time consuming, because of inconvenient
arrangements for marketing. There wereem
ployed on the crop 31 days men's time; 8 days
women and boys; and 2 days team, not other
wise included.
The crop was fertilized with barnyaid man
ure in about three-fourths of the hills, and, as
stated above, the stand was poor. The results
of this acre are therefore conservative

Alfalfa 1.70 acres: This was sown May 18,
IP05, yielding three cuttings of about five tons
of clean hay the first season. During the sec
ond season, covered by this Timely Hint,
there were seven cuttings with a total of
about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay
was $22.41 for irrigating water. The labor re
quired was, man's time, 14 days and team
nine days, which is rather high labor require
ment for'tliis alfalfa on account of the small
size of the field under-considcration, and lim
ited use of machinery. This crop at $5 00 to
$10.00 a ton, loose, whicii has been the price
this.scason, represents a cash return of not
less than $120.00 for the crop; but this hay was
used to feed the team employed on the place,
proving to be more than suffieient for that
pilrpose, since a stack of about three tons re
mains at the end of the season. The manure
from this source, being free from Bermuda
grass seed, was especia.ly valuable for fertil
izing a part of the crops grown.

PRUNING DECIDUOUS TREES.
The framework of the future
orchard tree should be entirely
formed when the third year's
pruning has been given. Too
oljten ' no attention is given to
this' important part of tree train
ing, and in other cases the tree
is given the proper shape when
planted, but here the work is
allowed to stop. If we are to
have- the character of the tree
top determined at the third
spring, close study and attention
as well as work must be given
the young tre.es each season.

plants the basic principle cannot
be too often insisted upon that
most trees and plants must be
cut back when planted.
Yearling whips of all sorts of
orchard trees are the best to
plant. Such trees usually have
no branches. Cut them back to
a point 13 to 24 inches above
where the first branch is wanted.
The mere cutting back wilL in
duce most of the buds to form
branches. If not; cut back, usu
ally but a few comparatively
weak branches will push out and
these near the top. Many trees
die outright- where this impor
tant feature is neglected. The
second year from three to five
branches are selected to form the
framework of the tree. All the
rest-are removed. The selected
branches should be properly
spaced' around the stem so as to
form a symmetrical, well bal
anced top. One should constant
ly have in mind the way the tree
will appear when it is full grown.
Apple trees have been particu
larly in mind in the above discus
sion, but the principles will ap
ply to all fruit trees. Open
centered trees have also been
discussed for the reason that they
are considered best. If one pre
fers a tree with a central leader,
the training is much the same,
except that at the first pruning
the uppermost branch is left
longer, upon which is develope'd
what amounts tou-seebnd top.

are inserted, and all those which
show signs of not having 'taken'
should be rebudded in order to
give them an early start and that
they may grow more evenly with
those first budded.
Budding done in June and July
is styled "summer budding." It
is not considered as good as early
spring budding, because the buds
do not start even; and as the
greater portion of them start
late their growth is so tender by
the time winter sets in. that, if
they pass through it, they be
come prematurely hardened by
the cold, weather, which some
times causes-the trees to become
stunted.
Fall budding is generally per
formed during September and
October, and sometimes in fa
vored localities as late as !No
vember. After the strings have
been removed they are left to
pass the winter in dormant bud,
to be started in the spring. Ru
