Shadows fall upon the waves,

Sorrow comes, alas to all,

Almond Oalture.

DR.. T.. G. Toney of this city
,, contributes the following excellent
article upon the above subject, te
the Arizona Magazine:
Southern Arizona is the home OF
the almond. Three years study
have convinced me that in the
cultivation of this variety of nut
are excellent opportunities of max
ing money.
Two years ago upon our place in
Mesa, we tested some almonds aud
found that seven-year old trees
produced twenty pounds to the
tree and that a large commission
house in Chicago quoted twelve and
cne-half cents per pound for them.
This is $3.50 an acre, as we have
planted 134 trees to the acre in
our twenty acre orchard, Having
also sent samples OF the nuts to
New York and Boston, shown some
to one of the leading almond
growers of California, who has
fifteen hundred acres under cul-
tivation, and to others, we feel
competent 10 say that Arizona can
and does produce as fine nut as
any other state or territory.
II three hundred dollars an acre
can he made, T shall be satisfied.
Drous sht must De carefully guarded
against, O.ic tree near Mesa had
buta small supply of water and yet
produced twenty pounds, and these
same nuts were then quoted at
fourteen cents per pound in Chi
cago, and eighteen cents in New
York. All who have watched
almond culture in this territory,
where it has been tested twelve
years, agree that the almond re-
quires very little water, which
is a great advantage in country
where canals will break or 60 dry
at times, and if in country where
the rain falls, it does not fall or
distribute properly at all times and
seasons.
Ability to reach good market
is by far the point of greatest i'm
portance to consider. AS most
fruits may be raised in every state,
I mention the limited area of pro-
duction. both in the United States
and Europe, to give reasons why
the market is good and is likely to
remain SO. ParJs of California,
Oregon, Arizona and Texas are the
only places in the United States
which produce the almond to any
appreciable extent. AS for Ari-
zona, it is only in our rich valleys
that it can be raised, With this
limited area and a duty of five
cents per pound on what little
comes from the Eqropean countries
when we think of the rapid in
crease of the population, We car
not fail to believe that the marke
for the almond will be good fol
many years to come. When in st
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Sar
Francisco, Denver, and other cities
I saw and conversed freely will

suaded of this most essential con-
sidrration, previous to planting al,
orchard.
| 1be fact that almond culture is
attended by light expenditure of
mental and physical labor has al
ways been powerful argument in
its faver with the writer, who has
| always had a weakness for the least
burdensome end of the log. Prun-
ling being obvi~tea, part of skill
ed labor is saved, which can never
apply to the orange, lemon, prune
or apricot. OF course. shaping and
cutting out of interfering branches
is not pruning. Cutting and dry
ing is saved, much labor in irrigat-
ing, and the ripe nuts can b.,
handled more like corn thin any
fruit. In Southern Arizona, where
labor is an object, this is no unim-
portant factor. All labor in win
ter, as on orange trees. in wrapping
is avoided in growing the almond.
Tree climbing is obviated, as the
nuts are shaken off and caught in
canvas or cloths and then hauled to
shed or packed in storing room.
One reason why the ulmond will
not be overproduced is because,
were all the land that can produce
them planted with almonds tho mar
ket would not be glutted. Only about
one tenth of one per cent. of those
who are told the truth believe it
and hence where many read this
article, they will throw it down
and call it real estate bait. ! am
only giving what have learned to
apply in my own orchard Of twenty
acres of almonds. Another reason
is the constantly growing demand
in all cities for salted almond.
There is a class of people who OPP
pose meat eating who favor almonds.
The almond is used by confection-
ers, doctors and as table relish.
The greater consumption
is by coneonfectioners. It
is second to none in flavor as q nut
meat. So limited is the production
of the almond, that in Holland, it
has become necessary to manufac-
ture an artificial almond to supply
the great demand for then. All
the fruit dealers say that the sup
ply is far less than the demand.
No protection is ever necessary
to keep them from frost, as my
twelve years in Arizona proves.
Only two failures from frost being
the record Of that time. Almond
trees cost me from eight to fifteen
cents apiece and orange trees 81.
Seeding trees, June buds, dormant
buds and even nuts are planted.
| The hest almond raisers in Cslifor-
MIA, howeetr, told me the June bud
far exceeds any other, making q
more vigorous growth and involv-
ing q smaller freight bill. he
planter moreover loses fewer than
he does when he plants yearlings.
The tap root of the yearling can
never be made to resist the same
hardships that the many rootlets OF
the June bud eau. The tap root of
the yearling must be cut, and am
putation of any large trunk causes
a far greater mortality than of any
lumber of smaller ones. The or
ange, lemon, lime and many other
frnits require much fertilization.

be much more hardy. Professor

about February Goth. The hands
were nearly all inexperienced and
yet very few trees are dead, many
have eleafed ont far ahead of aH
orchards near us of yearling trees.
A rabbit proof fence is placed
around them for protection while
young. I believe the dormant bud
with care will make as good tree
as the June bud, and better than
the yearling.
A few words aa to the variety be-
fore closing. The soft. and hard

paper shell are the two kinds. OF
the paper shell selected the Nom
pareil as having the heaviest ker.
mel and best bearing qualities.
While few trees have borne not
enough have yet fruited here to .ell
much >of the money-making quail

This being the natural home of the
almond, it cannot fail to do we'll.
We select the "Ne Plus Ultra"

x. L. planted some of the latter
because q few Of them had fruited
on the Bartlett tig ranches near
Phoenix and being a pre-eminent-
ly fine bearer ] thought it . good

paper shells bear more lightly, then
less work accrues in gathering. Az
one-third more money is received
for them than for the soft shell, the
difference is probably in favor OF
the paper shell. ] believr that
almond culture in Southern Ariso-
ma will become famous before ten
years roll by and that almonds and
