acre and of this number there is but one male tree, while the others are female trees. The date tree begins to produce suckers about the third year after being planted, but if it is desired to have the tree fruit early, these suckers are cut off, so as to force the entire strength of the plant into the parent stalk and not be weakened by the removal of the suckers, roots and all, to make an other tree When the tree is four or five years of age, it is strong enough so that from eight to ten suckers can be removed each year for planting purposes without affecting the bear ing capacity of the original tree.
 Thus, if a person has seventy date suckers, he can plant an acre to date orchard, in four or five years he can remove say eight suckers from each tree and thus be able to plant eight acres from the one. This pro cess can be kept up every year until the tree is ten years old, after which

He has made a careful study of the climatic condi- tions of that locality and he now de- clares that it is the only place on the American continent where the condi- tions are suited to the successful fruiting of the Neglet Moor date.
 Not only that. but a number of Eastern capitalists have signified their desire to establish at Imperial. on a commercial basis, an orchard for the cultivation of this date. act ing on the advice of MT. Swingle himself.
 A visit to Imperial will soon be made by MT. Swingle to select for them the land on which to establish this date plantation.
 MT. Swingle says that not only can the Neglet Moor date be successfully fruited at Imperial but that the con

is so great in Europe. that very little of it finds its way to the United States. It is stated by Mir. Swingle that Europe will take all of this va riety that is produced and more too, so that if they can be raised in the United States. the demand for them from this country will be very great, with no competition from other coun- tries.
 Mir. Swingle having made a careful study of the climatic and soil condi- tions for the growing of this choice date, set about to find a locality in this country where they can be sue cessfully grown. The Salt River Valley in Arizona was the only place that approached the ideal climate for dates. and in that valley many of the choice varieties could be grown sue cessfully, but the fruit of the choic- est variety-the Neglet Noor-could not be successfully matured there.
 Mir Swingle recently made visit to Los Angeles for the purpose of

ditions for a tirst-class date are equal to- if not superior to, the conditions found in the Sahara Desert-the only place where this date is now grown.
 MT. Swingle is very enthusiastic over the prospects of cultivating this choice date here in America
 The date is grown from suckers, and sucker will mature. if properly cultivated so as to produce fruit in four years from the time of being planted, and occasionally fruit will appear in the third year, but it re- quires six years to bring the tree into full bearing.
 When the date is propogated by suckers, they will then come true to variety but if seed are planted, all kinds of dates will be produced good, bad and indifferent.
 The date is dioecious in character that is the male and female bios sons appear on different trees. In planting a date orchard there are about seventy trees planted to the

past few years the United States government has been introducing better varieties from Europe. Asia and Africa--mostly from Africa. These imported suckers have been planted mostly in Arizona with a few in Southern California
 Mir. Walter T. Swindle has been in the employ of the government for several years as a date expert, and he has made several trips to the Sa- hara Desert in order to get speci- mems of the very best dates grown. It was long time before he could get any reliable information relative to date culture from the localities where the choicest varieties were grown. to say nothing of getting some of the suckers from which to get a start in this country,
 He made slow progress for long time until finally he got free access to the men who understood the busi- ness and then he managed to get all the suckers that he needed from the

There are many varieties of dates Where dates are raised from the seed, the result is about the same as when apple or pear trees are raised from the seed. The many trees pro duce inferior fruit, and the few pro- duce good fruit.

 United States at from 40 to 50 cents per pound. It is an ambercolored fruit not moist from the juice of the fruit, is highly favored and is used in Europe as a dessert fruit, and the demand for this fruit

it ceases to produce suckers, and the orchardist must then depend on his younger trees for his supply of suckers.
 In the case of the orange tree, many more years are required to produce the fruit. After the planting of the orange seed, there is one year in seed bed, two years in nursery be- fore budding and one year after bud ding and then five years in orchard before much fruit is produced. This makes nine years from seed to fruit, while less than half that time is re- Quired for the date.
 MT. Swingle is confident that a good orchard of the Neglet Moor date in full bearing in the Imperial coun- try will produce a net income that will pay interest on a valuation of $2000 an acre, and that the element of risk in such an enterprise is re- duced to the minimum
