one thing to be considered and that is
to see that the different varieties
bloom at the same time. This is not
as important as many suppose. Apple

the bloom. Insects do vastly more

The Winter Banana is one OF the

Indiana, about 1876. 1t was first
brought to public notice at Monroe,
Michigan, in 1890. 1t is an untried
apple in most sections of the United

some young trees sent to me by Stark

three or four trees top-worked to this

is large apple, it's color is
"clear pale yellow with beauti-

IMPERIAL VALLEY TO
PLANT OLIVE TREES
SAN DIEGO EXPERT THINKS
WELL OF REGION
Says Valley Will Be in Few Years
One of the Best Olive Growing
District in the Entire
Country

Ell CENTRIC, Oct. 31.-Big things
are predicted for Imperial valley as
an olive-raising district by c. M. Gift
ford, owner of large olive works at
San Diego Clifford has been giving the
valley personal study for several
months and has visited every section of
the cultivated territory He is an ex-
pert olive grower and handler and MS
opinion is worth having.
within the next few years. says
Clifford, Imperial valley will take its
place as one of the greatest olive pro-
ducing sections of the entire country.
He is showing his faith by his works
and has plans made for setting out
1000 young olive trees in this valley
early next spring. Ten acres of land
will be planted as the initial work, but
eventually it is Mr.. Gifford's intention
to set out a grove of at least 100 acres,
which will require about $4,000 trees.
The land on which this planting is
to be made is located about seven miles
east of Brawley. Clifford has selected
this as an especially favorable spot,
vet it is his belief that the entire val
lev will produce good olives.
The trees will require some time TO
come into bearing, but from growths
already made here Clifford is confident
of success and declares that if the
experiment tustifies his expectations he
will establish an olive packing plant
in the Imperial valley.
If the Clifford experiments meet with
success several other extensive olive
growers of San Diego county are ready
to come to Imperial valley and plant
large groves, it is said.
