THE DECIDUOUs AREA.


 THE DEcIDUOUs AREA. Magdalena, 2,500 feet elevation, may be considered the center of the area between Nogales and Carbo.

The fig, the prune, the peach, the grape, the olive, the apple, the pomegranate, the cherry, etc. etc., and unlimited alfalfa meadows, would undoubt- edly flourish there. Experience sufficient to prove this is at hand at San Ignacio, Pierson, and sum dry other points. Roughly es- timated, there is located probably not less than a million acres of such lands in each of these dis. tricts.
