Farming pays handsomely says Arizona teacher turned farmer
W A Adams, once a Cartwright district teacher earning 125 dollars a month, saved 400 dollars to start with. He rented 80 acres near Phoenix, bought it for 2400, and netted 2300 in eight months. Over three years he grew alfalfa, expanded to 190 acres, and netted about 23 000 on the venture while using only 400 capital. He credits hard work, water management, and avoiding politics. Also notes Zillah lodge in Yakima, and Prosser railroad proposal to close the North Yakima to Prosser gap with a straight line near the railroad.
