DATE GROWING IN AMERICA.
Palms Thrive In Southern Cali,
fornia Valley.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
The date industry in California prom
ises to become great factor in the fruit
markets of the world, for it has been
proved that the conditions i'm the Goa
chella valley are more favorable for the
development of the date of first quality
than any other country where the date is
grown. 1t has also been demonstrated
quality much larger percentage of first
quality dates can be produced from the
seed than in the Saharan cases.
In planting the date seed plant in rows
thirty feet apart, placing the seed about
eighteen inches apart in the row, thus
planting about LOCO seed to the acre
During the first few years any kind of
crop can be cultivated between the rows
When the palm is three years old it be-
gins to blossom. At this time the process
of thinning begins and the male plants
can be taken up and sent to the city. to
be planted as ornamental trees.
From this time until after the fifth year
the thinning and rearranging in rows
must be properlN attended to, and ac-
cordlng TO the best authority growers
may expect at least 100 plants of the
best quality of dates out of the LOCO
seeds planted to the acre, and as plants
should be at least thirty feet apart each
way when twelve or fifteen years of age
they will have fifty good plants to the
acre to dispose of; but when one con-
siders the profit to be derived from the
first offshOOts. which may be expected
from a five-year-old plant one will be
tempted to leave the plants fifteen feet in
the row for a few years al least
4 conservative estimate places an ar-
erage of four offshoots to the plants five
years old. and an average Of one offshoot
to the plant year for the next FIVE
years. The offshoot always bears fruit
Identical with the parent tree In this
way the parties who plant the first seed
ling orchards will be in line to reap a
rich harvest for their surplus offshoots
for the imported offshoots will be very
expensive for several years to come
After transporting the offshoots on the
backs of camels across the burning sands
of Sahara desert to the ocean liner. lying
upon the docks at both ends Of the line
then transported by rail to the indicated
farms. the plants will certainly be con-
siderabiy. weakened and will require a
wear of tender nursing.

WOULD CLOSE GATES
AGAINST THE IGNORANT
Representative Burnett Fa-
vors Further Restriction
of immigration.

America does not want the southern ltai-
ian, Russian. Syrian and Greek immi-
grant: they do not assimilate and rarely
become the citizen which America hopes
to gain by the entry through our immigra
ton gates, SO Representative Burnett of
Alabama. ranking minority member of the
House immigration committee and MEM
Der of the immigration commission. de-
clared to the Missouri Society in Pythian
Temple last night.
The people we want are those who
come from northern Europe Mr.. Burnett
continued, from the nations Of our fore
fathers, the ones who make the splendid
citizens of whom our country boasts. The
Englishman, the Irishman. the Welshman.
German. Dane. Swede. Norwegian.
Frenchman and HolIander are the men
we want. and, too, the northern Italian.
They are the representatives of the eau
caSlon race and the ones who will work
Tor Americas uplift.'
Mr.. Burnett asserted that the Greek of
today is not of the type of the heroes of
Ihermopylae, the Syrian not the Phoeni-
can OF other days nor the southern
legions of Caesar. Speaking particular
ly of the man from Sicily. he declared
that he is the descendant of the soldiers
or Caesar and the slaves which were

splendid fabric of the higher and the re-
suit Is class which America does not
desire.
Mr.. Burnett took ND the Lodge irnmi-
grafton bill, which passed the Senate but
failed in the House This bill fixes an ed
ucational test for entry into this country
and he declared it would keep out 30 per
cent of the undesirable peoples and only
per cent of those the country should
be eager to receive.
I'VE cannot discriminate against the
Russian or the Greek or the Italian as
nation, he said, but we can say that
no immigrant is to enter this country I'M
less he can pass an educational test The
country OF the emigrant cannot take Of
tense, and the man of the black hand
band Will not be able to make his head
quarters in our cities''
Recalling day spent in an Italian port
of embarkation for America, Mr.. Burnett
declared that outside the door leading to
the Steerage was a large basket filled
with knives of a most dangerous looking
character, and when he asked the official
who stood near where they came from
the answer was: I'VE make the steerage
passengers give up those before they go
aboard, otherwise there would not be an
able-bodied man in the steerage when
the vessel landed at the dock in the

CHILDREN GIVE LITERALLY.
Thanksgiving Contribution Larger
Than That of Last Year.

The Thanksgiving contribution taken
up in the public schools last Wednesday
for the purpose of supplying needy chill
dren with shoes, clothes and in some in
stances eyeglasses. so that they may at
tend school, probably will be larger than
the one collected last year. The exact
amount will not be known until after the
middle OF the week. The money already
turned in amounts TO between 81 800 and
81. 100
The collection last year amounted to
5000 being about 500 less than the
contributors made the year before. The
difference betwe, IA these two amounts is
attributed TO the fact that i'm 1893 a tom
tribution was taken at both Thanksgiving
aud Christmas. The school officials then
decided that the children should be asked
TO make only one contribution, and that
should be made at Thanksgiving. The
same rule was followed this year

gagged i'm it's foreign ocean-gong trade.
With half our population. England has
more than ZOO vessels. while Germany

I'VE are paying foreign shipping COM
panies S300.OOUOCO annually for handling

neglected our shipping that when the

was conducted. by twenty-seven GOLFERS

powerful England and Germany ruling

the mastery of the Pacific. and Ameri-
ca with practically no ships at all, is
there not a condition here to make
