the temperate and semi-tropical
climates grows in the Salt River
j Valley of Arizona, and not only
do they grow but they produce
to perfection Among the fruits
i grown are oranges, figs, peaches
pears, prunes, appricots, grapes,
dates, olives, plums, apples,
;grape-fruit and berries of all
sorts. The Valley is the home
| of the alfalfa plant, which grows
j almost throughout the entire
!year, producing five to seven
cuttings per year with a seed
crop. Barley, Egyptian cotton,
j kafir, milo maize, potatoes, corn,
(lax, and all kinds of vegetables
do well. Dairying, poultry pro-
ducts and ostrich farming are
important industries.
There is no government land
in this section open to entry, all
of it having been taken some
time ago. Those who were early
on ‘ the ground have prospered,
and the same state of facts exist
ts to other localities where de
velopment has just begun.
We have in a brief manner en-
deavored to give our readers a
general outline of the country
visited, and with the concluding
tssurance that we enjoyed the
crip immensely, we will leave

A Trip to the Southwest.
Pan's Pereau, formerly of Buf
falo, and aside from their hospi
taiity in providing us a place t»
sleep and a bite to eat, the\
took much pains in showing ut
the valley and the great thing.-
accomplished by irrigation in ar
ideal growing climate. Mr aric
Mrs. Pereau have three uuartei
s ctions of the fine land, but
which they have not yet re
claimed. They are just outsidt
the territory supplied from tht
dam and will reclaim their lane
by the installation of pumping
plants. In company with therr
we visited some of their neigh-
bu s who were installing pump
ingplants. Therein abundance
of sheer water beneath the soi
and with the assistance of on<
of these pumping plants suf
f'cient water can be had to ir
) igate ICO acres of land. Thes*
P imps are operated by crude oil
engines built on the plan of the
gasoline engine. To irrigate it.
this manner will be some mere
expensive than the gravity
system because of the fuel con
sumed, but is much more satis-
factory to the owner owing to
t >i tact that he has his water
at all times and does not hav<
to do any night irrigating Un
d -r this system no noxious
w eeds or grass are washed ontc
the farm from other lands that
have been infested.
Irrigation by means of pump-
ing plants has been demons!rat
ed to be a success. A pumping
piant that will produce 2.000 gal-
lons of water per minute, and
sufficient to irrigate 160 acres ol
land, can be installed at a cos-
••t approximately $3,000 to 4.00v
depending upon local conditions
The soil in the vicinity of Mesa,
('handler and Higley ,s a red sill
wmch is particularly adapted tc
the glowing of oranges, Egypt fm K
ian cotton and alfalfa. Nearly
