on the trip and after having been planted. While not bearing com- mercial quantities of fruit until about five years old, quite a num- Der of trees have borne fruit when two years old. This year there are a number of both two and three-year-old trees in bear ing. There are many sections of California where the date palm fourishes, especially in the south ern part of the State where the rainfall is light. It will flourish in the Imperial Valley, in the Mojave desert, Death valley, in the San Joaquin valley and in the Sacramento valley. But humid sections in these valleys should not be selected, as the fruit will not ripen in a humid climate, es- pecially such as that of Florida, though it is warm enough there for the tree. Ordinarily the trees are planted thirty feet dis tant from each other, though some are planted at twenty-five or even twenty feet apart. Its yield depends upon the soil and the climate. Under ordinary conditions it bears within. four years after the seed is planted and in a year or two more it pro- duces dates in paying quanti- ties from 300 to 400 pounds or more a year. It is long lived and will bear for a century or two centuries, and even longer. About 40 to 50 per cent. is sugar. The Arab sweet date is about 60 per cent. sugar.
 The date plant differs from an ordinary fruit tree as to the wat CT supply and the climate. There is no other tree like it. Heat is necessary from May to November the time of fruiting. The mean temperature should be about 75 degrees, and in June, July, Au- gust it should be 80 degrees. Where late varieties are desired the temperature should be at least 90 degrees during these three months. This is found in Death valley, the Mojave des- ert, the Colorado desert, the Vol canic springs, the Salton sea and Imperial Valley sections. While its leaves are adapted to stand the driest of climates, it's roots must have water, but not as much water as ordinary plants, however.
