ufacture of claret. Vineyardists
pay particular attention to the
production of raisins, and it has
been proven by the test of years
that grapes Of the Salt River val
ley carry fully 80 per cent more
saccharlne matter than those in
the great raisin districts of Spain
and California.
Modern methods are now being
used in drying and packing. and
they take front rank throughout
the United States. The quality of
the seedless raisins is especially
admirable, and they find a ready
market at remunerative prices.
Pomegranates, delicious novel;
ty to the greater portion of the
union, are grown to such an extent
that entire carloads have been ship
ped to Chicago for market.
Many of the subtropical fruits
are grown, though only for orna-
mental purposes. The date palm,
like the fan palm, thrives here and
dates of the true African kind ri
pen in excellent quality. Pine
apples, and bananas have also been
brought to maturity.
Among the small fruits, black
berries and strawberries produce
well. Each season thousands of
boxes are shipped by express from
Phoenix to points as far as Texas,
the southwest generally being sup
piled. The coming of the new
railroad from the north will have
an excellent effect upon the fruit
industry Of Arizona. Now all the
fruits shipped eastward are sub
jected to long journey across the
heated plains before entering the
cooler upland of New Mexico. The
fruits of California must ever be
subjected to a similar hot journey
across either the Mohave or the
Colorado desert, much to the iniu-
ry of the keeping qualities of the
fruit. From next February, how
ever, the fruit shipper of central
Arizona will attach his car of fresh
fruit to train that will within
three hours take it into an eleva-
tion of 1000 feet, and thence east
without Intervention of mile of
desert travel. The advantage of
this can readily be appreciated.
It is believed by those who have
studied this region that the entire
Salt and Lower Gila valleys, nearly
two million acres in extent, will
eventually be turned into a gigan-
tic orchard whence will be obtain
ed a vast portion of the fruit of the
nation. The water can be devel-
oped at comparatively cost for ir-
rigation of even so great an area,
while for soil and climate, there is
little left to be desired"

Fruits of Arizona.

the Secretary of the Interior. The
Governors declarations have stood
the test Of experience, and his au-
gury concerning the fruit industry
only requires few years for veri-
fication. The Governor says:
"Next to the orange in impor-
tance in the Salt River valley is
the apricot, of which fruit about
1000 acres are now in bearing. The
prevailing varieties are the Royal
and the Newcastle. Ripe apricots
have been picked as early as the
29th day of April, while the bulk
Of the crop ripens early in May.
Local conditions are especially ia
vorable for this fruit, light crops
being seldom known, the quality
being uniform and of high grade.
This last remark is also true of
peaches, the delicious flavor OF the
product being especially noticeable.
There are over 500 acres planted
to bearing peach trees, and the
fruit is constantly maturing from
June to Christmas. A large por-
tion Of the peach and apricot crops
are dried, yet several carloads of
the fresh fruits were shipped to
eastern points during the past sea-
son. A portion of the yield was
also consumed by canneries at Mesa
and Phoenix.
OF late, pears have been planted
about as extensively as peaches.
With the Bartlett and half dozen
other varieties that might be noted,
production is heavy and quality,
and size are all that can be desired.
Late contributions to the chamber
of commerce exhibit in Phoenix
averaged one and one-third pounds
to the pear.
Several varieties of apples, nota-
bly, the White Winter Pearmain,
are grown with success and profit.
Almonds have proven a profitable
product, the trees thriving under
much the same conditions as the
apricot. The paper shell variety
is most extensively cultivated, and
yields about as heavily as the hard
or medium shelled. It brings a
much higher price in the market.
Improved methods Of bleaching
have been adopted, and next year
heavy shipments of high grade fruit
will be sent eastward. About 500
acres of almonds are under culti-
vation In the Salt River valley.
Figs and olives are found every
where by the roadside, and in the
house yards as ornamental and
shade trees. Of the former there
are 400 acres set to orchard in the
Salt River valley.
The White Adriatic and Brown
Smyrna, drying varieties, have
been tried, and samples sent abroad
have received high concentrations.
The generous sun and fertile loamy
soil of the southwest develops the
fruit to a degree that renders it a
little short of confection and in
sures its success a profitable pro-
duct.
The olive is thrifty and hardy,
and there are a few trees in the
valley that have come into bearing.
These have demonstrated the fact
that the tree does best when plant.
