Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. SV88t II on Potato nes Just as an experiment the owner of two cows determined last year to ascertain the value of the sweet potato vine for sum mer forage. He was not a sci entist, and did not know the food value of the sweet potato vine; whether it had more protein than some other plant or whether it was as succulent as alfalfa, but he did know that the cows liked the vines, and that if they were gradually fed on them until their stomachs were accustomed to it there was no danger or oioawug. This" man had one acre of ground and he cut it into two fields, planting it all in sweet potatoes of the ordiuary kind. When the vines in the fields covered the ground in May he turned the" two cows into one of tHes'e fields, allowing them to grow accustomed to the new feed, gradually increasing their stay in the field until they could graze there all day if they liked. When these cows had eaten the vines down in the first field they were turned into the sec ond, and there they stayed until they had exhausted the vines, and then they-were turned back into the first field again, where the vines had again covered the ground. The process was kept up all summer long and late into the Just as an experiment he dug the sweet potato field to see if any potatoes bad been made, and he was surprised to find thai his crop was even better thaa he had thought it would be if be cutting. " " During the whole time that -he kept his cows on these sweet po tato vines, he fed them no grain, and the milk at all times was of that rich golden color seen when the grass is new in the spring; and what was remarkable the yield was kept up during the six months as it never had before. There was hardly any diminua tion in quantity, while his neigh bors cows, which had been fed on the sunburned fields, had fall eng off during the same time till it almost a waste of time to milk them. The two cows were also in the very best of condition, looking sleek and like well fed animals for a show, while other cattle in the same neighborhood were not anywhere near so good looking. This was an actual ex periment. Trucker and Farmer. Time robs us of many things, but wounds our vanity first by introducing wrinkles and the double chin.

Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural Experiment Station University of Arizona, January 15, 1907. Just west of Yuma, Arizona, In the alluvial flood-plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm of 7-2 acres which on May 1, 1005, was virgin bottomland, covered with saltweed, arrow brush and creosote bushes. The original purpose of 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 tho work of levelling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of 152 palms, was completed. THE PLAN OF WORK. Recognizing, however, that a farmer with his living to maiie meantime, cannot afford to wait tor an orchard to come Into bearing, It was planned to plant crops for quick re turns b. t ween the tree-rows, thus putting the work on a feasible basis from the small farm er's point of view. In order to economize ground the irrigating borders were so placed us to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into lnl. for the most part one-half an acre in size. Irrigating water from the Colorado Valley 1. & I. Canal was obtained in the cus tomary manner and K. L. Crane, himself a Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of v hat 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, barley, and forages In general, compara tively 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 clusive of maintenance, of the Government irrigating system now under construction will be about 3.50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish ment of a farm in this region, inttnslve crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, arc essential. It was partly, therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon those financial aspects of the general situa tion that this cultural work was planned. RECLAMATION 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 S17.20 an acre, considerably less than the average for tho locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. In addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cotS60-10; lumber for headgates cost 839.57; a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout pump and a barrel, $13.45; a small lumber two-room house, including Ave and one-half O-ws carpenter hire, 152.75; and a brush-roof shelter lor horses, about $5.00. Only skilled labor employed in levelling, bordering and ditching the ground, and gor part construction of the house, is included in the above eslimotes as the chiwmon labor required ordinarily would be, and in this case was, furnished by 4he farm er himself To bring this ground under cultivation and make it habitable for a small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required a asli oiiUav of about $100.00. In audition, in mm JUS HBftirMC7S& FARMERS. the average instance must be Included a team, wagon, plow, harrow, haying equip ment shovels hoes and other small tools. CROPS AND MARKETS. The crops selected for tho season of 1S0G were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda onions, Rockyford cantaloupes, Dwarf Cham pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watermelons and sundry vegetables. The 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 or net cash re turns to the small farmers who with an aver age family of live and a team of horses is as sumed to do tho work required, as explained below. Items necessitating cash outlay, as seed, Irrigating water, and crater 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 g&uial. was low In nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally. White Bermuda onions; .47 acres; Seed planted Sept. 27-Oct. 3, 1905. Young onions transplanted, Feb. 5-9, lCOfi. Crop matured about June 1.

One day'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 laTgely performed by boys. The yield was low owing to tho desert and unfer tilized character of the soil, onions requiring large amounts or organic matter In the soil to give good results. Early Rose potatoes; .SI acres: Seed pota toes planted Feb. 16-19. 1906. Beginning to bloom April 13. Crop all harvested June 13. Yield, 2615 pounds. Highest price, May 21, 3 He Bulk of crop, 2&C.

The sesbauia used as green manur ing on the west half of the potato ground was given 17 Irrigations. Bermuda grass, more over, flourished beneath the sesbauia to such an extent as subsequently to require 23 days labor for cleaning up the .45acresso 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 iu picking, packing and ship fog the crop. The entire labor requirements Inr the crop were, men's time, 85 days; women and boys, 38 days; and team 10 days, the heaviest demand upon labor being during Tulv Dwflrf Champion and Burpee's Quarter Century yielded about equally well, both be ing or the dwarf bushy sorts best adapted to this climate.

There were em 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 rertillzed with barnyard man ure in about three-fourths of the hills, aud, as stated above, the stand was poor. The results of this acre are therefore conservative. Watermelons and sundry small items of produce were sold locally to the amount of 815.65 Seed and irrigating water, about 8 2.00 Leaving a cash return of about... 13.65 815.65 815-65 Alfalfa; 1.70 acres: This was sow May 18 1905, 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 or hay. The only cash outlay was 822.41 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 this alfalfa on account of the small size or the field under consideration, and lim ited use or machinery. This crop at 85 00 to 810.00 a ton, loose, which has been the price this season, represents a cash return or not less than 8120.00 for the crop; but this hay was used to feed iho team employed on the place, proving to ba more than sufficient for that purpose, since a stack or about three tons re mains at the end or the season.
