A Lesson in Intensive Farming by
R H. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural t
Experiment Station
, University of Arizona,
January 15, W07.
- Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial
flood-plain of tho Colorado, lies a little farm
of 7-2 acres which on May 1, 1905, was virgin
bottomland, covered with sattweed, arrow,
brush and creosote bushes. The original
purpose or the traotwas for planting selected
varieties oflate palms impoiited by tlie U. SS.
Department of Agriculture from the Old
World. The Experiment. station, May 2, be
gan preparing the ground, and on May 0 the
worjc ot levelling, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting of 152 palms', was
completed.
THK VIjAN OV WO.UK
Recognizing, however, that a farmer with
bis living to make meantime, cannot afford
to wait lor an orchard to come into bearing,
it was planned to plant crops for quick re
turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the
wont on a feasible basis from the 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
.ize. Irrigating water from the Colorado
Valley P. & I. Canal was obtained in the cus
tomary manner, and K. 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 alfalfa
corn, bailey, and forages in general, compara
tlvely little attention being given to vege
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost 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
elusive of maintenance, of the Government
irrigating system now under construction
will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten
years- io meet these and other heavy ltms
of expense in connection with the establish
mentof a farm in this region, intensive crops
of a more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. It was partly
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general situa
tion, that this cultural work was planned
RECLAMATION OF THE GltOUNJ.
The soil of our tract, a warm, sandy loam
well adapted to gardening operations, was
levellen, ditched snd bordered at a contract
price of 1(. at an acre, considerably less than
the average for the locality, reckoning the
labor of men and teams at current rates. In
addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing
coslSOU-lU: lumber for headgates cost 539.07
a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout
pump and a barrel. 6i!J.4o: a small lumber
two-room hopse. Including Ave and one-half
days carpenter hire, S152.75; and n brush-roof
shelter for horses, about So.00. Only skilled
labor employed in levelling, bordering and
ditching the ground, and tor part construe
turn of the house, is included in the above
estimates, as the common tabor reouired or
dinarily would be, and in tills caso was. fur
nished by the larmer himsell-
To bring this ground under cultivation and
make it habitable for a small farmer and his
family, as staled above, therefore required a
cash outlay ol ahout Jh(HmX). in addition, in
the average instance must he included
team, wagon, plow, harrow, haying equip
ment shovel nous and oilier small tools
ckoi'.s and ;maikkts.
The crops selected for the season of 1000
were Jiarly Kose potatoes. White- Hermuda
onions. Koekyford cantaloupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes,
and aiiaiia, nesines a lew hills ot watermelons
and sundry vegetables.
The produce was marketed in Yuma with
the exceptloii of tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, were expressed to Tucson and
Hishee. The following statements lor the
various crops are on the basis of net casli ie-
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 outlay, as
seed, irrigating water, and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Watery)sts an a'erage
of 50 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown, i ne yicias in ceruun instances arc
low, due to the unimproved condition of the
soil, which, like desert soils in genial, was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
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. (Jne day's team work in
preparing the land and about 32 days, men's
though the work was not heavy and could
have been largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing to the desert and unfe
tilized character of the soil, onions requiring
large amounts of organic matter in the soil to
give good results. ,

Tlie amount, of labor required for the crop
ltseu was auout lo working days, with team
H days. The sesbania used as green manur
ing on the west half of the potato ground was
given 17 irrigations. Hermuda grass, more
over, nourished beneath the sesbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require 23 days
labor for cleaning up the .toacres so fertilized.
Although the larger part of the crop came
from the sesbania fertilized portion of the po
tatoes, this method of enriching the soil
proved very costly, 27 days mans time and 3
days team-work being required to put the ses
bania under and afterwards get rid of tho
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor eng
tailed could easily have been managed by a
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

Until the last of June this crop required but
little labor. During the shipping season,
however, four persons were employed on
about half time in picking, packing and snip
ing the crop. The entire labor requirements
for the crop were, men's time. 85 davs: women

i ne laoor on this crop was light, but In this
case time consuming, becauseof inconvenient

ployed on the crop 31 daysmen's time: 8 davs
women and boys; and 2 days team, not other
wise inciuaeu.
Tho crop was fertilized with barnvard man
ure in about three-fourths of the hills, and, as
stated above, thestand was poor. The results

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
wiis 22.41 for irrigating water. The labor re
quired was, manjs time, 14 days and team
nine days, which is rather high laborTequire
ment for this alfalfa on account of tlie small
size of the field under consideration, and lim
ited use of machinery. This crop at 55 00 to
510.00 a ton, loose, which has been the price
this season, represents a casli return of not
less than 8120.00 for the crop; but this hay was
used to feed the team employed on the plnoe,
proving to be more than sufficient for that
purpose, 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 especially valuable for fertil
izing a part of the crops grown.

Will Get Unanimous Vote.
The news of the nomination of
R. H. Cameron for delegate , to
congress by the republicans at
Phoenix, was received here with
great surprise us well as univer
sal approval by democrats and
republicans alike. There is no
question .in the minds of the
northern people buthe willmrry
northern Arizona by the largest
majority ever given a republican
candidate. This is a republican
year and with a candidate like
Cameron who never quits a fight
until the last vote is cast, some
of our southern neighbors may
be surprised at what a real live
hustler may accomplish. Camer
on is a poor man and has come
up from the ranks by sheer pluck,
energy and ability. There is
little need of detailing his many
sterling qualities to the people
of the north, for he knows them
all personally, and before the
campaign is over, he will be one
of the best known men in south
ern Arizona as well. His vote
in the north will be practically
unanimous, and an "unanimous
Cameron club" has been organ
ized to see that no odd ones
escape Coconino Sun.

side of Phoenix, which is not
yet completed? Has Bisbee
public building, or Globe, or
Tucson, Prescott or Yuma? Has.
any attempt been made by the:
etymological successor of the
really great Marcus Aurelius to
secure appropriations? Up to
date over 225,000 has been se
cured for public buildings inour
neighboring territory of New
Mexico for postoffice buildings
through the direct efforts of the
republican delegate from that
territory and the democratic del
egates as well, when they have
been in office. The money has
been secured by energetic action
by live delegates, men devoted
to the interests of their districts
and who have not spent their
congressional vacations among
boon companions in some far
away state. f
The r6cords will show that
even the two nominal appropri
ations for Phoenix and Nogales
were secured through the efforts
of the corporate and civic bodies
of those sections and that in real
ity if Marcus Aurelius Smith
alone had been depended upon,
the appropriations would have
been minus quantities unto this
day.
