CITRUS FRUITS IN THE VALLEY
CONTINUED from Page u

foliata stock is a stock made to stand
a colder climate better than any 9TH
er stock known, and so when the
plant is young and the root is not
deeply established it cannot stand so
much heat and sunshine and excess
sive drouth. till It has made a good
root System So far as its roots need
ing to strike into the clay-and there
is no clay subsoil in the Valley do
not think that this will be borne out
by facts, for in Japan it grows we'll
ON lands without any clay subsoil
whatever. This would seem to show
that the conditions for its successful
growing are to be found, not in the
ground. but above it. In other words,
it needs protection while young, from
heat, too much sunshine and dryness,
and should be grown in the shade or
shaded while young, till its root sys-
tenn is strong, or it should be water
ed well. believe that this is the So
luton of growing citrus trifoliata in
your country, as well as in the coun-
tries like Beeville. In the moist coast
country about Houston, it is different,
of course, and there is less likelihood
of the trees suffering from heat And
yet the finest growing young seed
lings have always found to be those
protected in that way by shading
while young.

Velopment of your country with the
greatest interest, and shall be glad at

try.

ASveterinarian and q botarist, both
we'll known experts in tlieir line, have
been sent into the field by the Interna-
Ntional Smelling and Refining company
to make a thorough scientific study OF
h plant and animal life in the vicinity
of Pine canyon, Tooele county, where
the ycompany5is erecting a large snelter.$
The experts havei already started their
work and 1t will probably be several
months before they finish their work.
E. p. Mathewsor, who Is in charge
OF the work of Installing the big plant
for the Cole-Ryan crowd, arrived IN
Salt Lake today and will spend con-
siderable time looking after the work
which is now being carried on at the
Esmelter site. He willsre1nain here until.
Wednesday, This morning he declared
i that the company has decided to take
no chances of having trouble with the.
farmers of Tooele at some future date
It has been decided that "a thorough
examination be made of the district in
order to decide whether the fumes from
the great plant does any damage. 1t Is
intended to make another examination,
through the same experts{ six months
after the plant begins operations,
which will be the first Of next year.
Besides this the company has an
easement with all butpne or two OF the
farmers OF the distI.s SO that the land
may be taken oveis'by purchase. Be
sides this the company, through the
last legislature, is granted the right Of
eminent domaine.
Fl Through these methods the company
intends to ward off any troubles that
might arise from srnelter smoke. The
contracts under which, tho sinelter Will;

perty at about half what 1t will be,

Increasing OF the market for ag-
ricultural products will put a value
on the land in excess Of what it is now
worth and 1T is not probable that the
farmers will be willing to SELL
At present there is about three-quar-2
tiers of a mile of track laying necessary
to complete the railroad into the smell
er site. This will require but a few
days more and with the surfacing ma
chine owned by the Salt Lake route the
track will be completed. This machine
lis capable of sllrfacing about half a
n,1tle q. day.
The old machinery and material from
the Highland Boy smelter will be In
stalled AS soon as the road lis finished
which will be June L.. These buildings
will be the first to be erected.
The first car of new teel for the
construction work on the snelter Is
scheduled to arrive on June II After
that material will be hurried to the.

as is necessary is now ready to be
