Where Fruit 10 Cheap.

Fruit is cheap in Morocco. The
warm African sun is there tempered
by the Atlantic breezes which the west
wind watts obligingly all the sum-
mer. There are rivers which flow
through the country from the great
range of mountains which form Its
eastern wall and shut it on from the
hot winds Of Sahara. 1t has a soil so
rich and fertile that with no further
cultivation than that afforded by the
wooden plowshares which have been
in use for a thousand years three
crops a year can be garnered. Grape
cuttings stuck roughly in the ground
will in a few years yield good fruit
without care being bestowed on them.
Last year the best black grapes cost
only one cent pound and figs one
cent dozen. Melons can be had for
nothing.
