1t seems that now the adaptability
of many portions of the Salt River
valley to the prominently successful
culture of citrus fruits should be con-
ceded without hesitation or qualifca-
ton. Because, first, oranges from the
valley of the Salt took one of the
leading prizes at the Midwinter Fair
for absolute excellence. Next, COM
petent judges of the orange for flavor
and all the other qualities that go to
make up a really frst-class orange,
have repeatedly pronounced our
oranges superior to those raised In
any other portion of the United
States. They possess sweetness.
combined with a fine citrus flavor
with only a slight tartness, which
makes them acceptable to the taste of
the connoisseure, which is not found
in the product of any other section.
In addition to this the success iul cul-
tivation of this great branch of the
citrus family is further assured by the
fact that we have no insect pests to
contend with. The trees grow and
thrive to perfection in our deep, warm,
rich loamy soil, which gives the rich
orange flavor and a never-clouded
sun gives luscious sweetness. We
were favored on Wednesday with
liberal specimens of the Tanguirino,
Jafa, Mediterranean Sweet and Navel
oranges from the fine twenty acre
grove of Mrs. A. B. Pritchard, two
miles west of town. The trees are
only two years In orchard and of
course do not give fruit of as fine
flavor as might be expected from older
trees; and yet in all respects these
magnificent specimens from these
young trees are far superior to any
orange we have ever seen grown in
the United States. There is no ques-
tion but that there is large area of
the mes' that possesses what is termed
the very finest citrus conditions, and
the product of our infant trees will
challenge a critical comparison for
both quality and size with the fruit
from the old groves of Cal ;fornia,
Louisiana or Florida. Orange raising
ere long will take it's place as one of
the most profitable industries of this
great mesa.
