DATE INDUSTRY
BIC IN RESULTS
Splendid Record Shown in Goa
CheIIa Valley, Near Indio,
California

The date industry in California
promises to become a great factor in
the fruit markets of the world, for II
the Coachella valley are more favor
able for the development Of the date
of first quality than of any other
country where the date is grown. 1t
has also been demonstrated that a.
much larger percentage of first quail
ity dates can be produced from the
seed than in the Saharan oases.
f. w. Stevens Of Long Beach, who
has been making a careful research
into date culture has planted eighteen
acres of seed on his date farm in In
dio, Cal, and has prepared 100 acres
more to be planted this winter. He
says: while the date varities do not
come true to the seed, it is possible
to start a Seeding date orchard at a
very little expense and with reason
able hope of success, and with a good
chance of securing superlatiVely fine
varieties which can be secured in no
other way"
In planting the dats seed Mr.. Ste
Vens' advice is to plant in rows thirty
feet apart, placing the seed about
planting about 1000 seed to the acre.
During the first few years any kind
of crop can be cultivated between the
rows. awhile Mr.. Stevens is plant
ing alfalfa between his date rows, he
says he does not profess to be an
authority on the best crop to plant,
but after giving the matter a care
full study he finds that the date and
alfalfa grow in harmony with each
a c Hnt nr-fY rryfA \,
its roots in the cool moisture and it's
crown in the blazing sun, while the
alfalfa will thrive under like condi-
tions The date tree enjoys humidity
in the atmosphere. This makes the
shade Of the palm is congenial to the
alfalfa in Coachella valley, as it acts
as shield from the scorching rays of
the ever prevalent sun. Alfalfa will
do well even after the palms have at
tained a great height.
WHEN PALM BLOSSOMS
When the palm is three years old
it begins 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 or
trees. From this time until
after the fifth year the thinning and
rearranging in rows must be properly |
attended to and, according to best au- |
thorfty, growers may expect. at least |
LOO plants of the best quality of dates |
out of the 1000 seeds planted to the |
acre, and as the plants should be at |
east 30 feet apart each way when |
Twelve of fifteen years of age, they
VIII have fifty good plants to the acre I
% dispose of, but when one considers |
he profit to be derived from the first |
offshoots, which may be expected from
l five year old plant, one will be !
.empted to leave the plants fifteen

apartment house or hotel. The building
is said to have cost $45,000. 1t is mis-

The new Missouri law requiring
the recording of births and deaths
seems to be taken rather lightly by
our physicians, but they might as
well get down to business now as
later. In a 8 of a birth they
must notify the registrar within 10
days or be guilty of a misdemean-
o. and subject to a fine of from
$5 TO $50. II there is no physician
this duty and responsibility falls
upon the parents.
In case of a death, the duty falls
upon the undertaken, coroner or
persons in charge, and failure con-
stitutes a misdemeanor. A license
is necessary to bury a corpse and
failure to procure a license subjects
the guilty party to a fine of from
$40 to 500.

churches as put forward by Ham

increase their contributions to for
eign missions from $66,6e7.2S re-
ported in 1909, to at least $4,000
in 1910, was not quite realized but
Judging by the results the move
ment has had in other cities, the
amount will grow until it reaches
the amount aimed for. The churches
reporting pledged over $125, 600 and
individual pledges swelled the
amount to $4,000.
Two denominations, the German
Evangelical, which has forty-three
churches in st. Louis and the Re-
formed Church, United States, had
no report ready.
The amounts pledged by denom-
nations are as follows: Twenty
six Baptist churches, $4,000; is
Christian, $4,000; II Congregation

Trade relations between the Unit
ed States and Germany will be SER
iously disturbed, unless IN early
agreement is reached upon pend
ing differences. On February eth
the present reciprocity arrange
ment with Germany expires, and
from that date, in the absence of
a new arrangement, American i'm
ports into Germany will be subject
to much higher duties under The
general tariff rates. On April 18th
il the German rates are pronounc-
ed discriminatory against the Unit
ed States, The maximum tariff
rates carried by the Payne-Aldrich
act will be applied automatically
to German imports, constituting an
addition OF 25 per cent. The
trade affected will be very large
as Germany is, next to Great
Britain, the most important Gus
toner OF the United States. In
1908 Germany bought about $780,
100000 of American products; and
the United States bought $16O,O00,-
900 of German goods. One of the
barriers to a new arrangement is
the refusal of the German govern
ment to relax it's prohibitions
against American cattle another is
the proposed German imperial con
troll OF the potash product.-Youths

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

and that justice will be dealt out as
evenly as possible to each and every
interest.
Our foreign trade is showing very
remarkable and satisfactory change
towards more normal conditions. In
September our exports were valued at
nearly $169.0OO.OOO. This was nearly
$15,0O0,00O in excess of last year, and
was probably the heaviest September
on record. The increase was partly
due to heavy cotton shipments. I'M
ports during the same month amount
ed to only $117 100000, a decrease of
nearly 100000 compared with last
year. The net result for the month
was an excess of exports of ISL ,000,-
900. compared with $33,O0O,OOO in 1909
and nearly $41.O00.OOO in 1908. This
change in the tendency of our foreign
trade is wholesome and significant.
For long period, owing chiefly to the
high level of prices here, the tendency
has been for imports to increase and
exports to diminish; thus creating a
surplus of imports instead of exports
as usual. 1t Is quite possible to have
satisfactory foreign trade in which
imports exceed or equal exports, for
all foreign trade in the final analysis
is barter, and cannot be continued un-
less mutually profitable. But the Uni
ted States has always been an ex-
port country, owing to its surplus of
agricultural products. With the growth
OF population it is certain we shall
gradually change in this respect. and
i II we are to continue importations
from abroad. as We must. it will be
necessary for us to prepare to make
payments in larger exports of manu-
features to compensate for diminished
agricultural exports.

This Is My SIND Birthday
HERBERT c. WILSON.

Herbert C. Wilson, distinguished as
an educator and scientist, was born
in Lewiston, Mimi, October "a, 1855
After graduating from Carleton col
lege in 1879, he studied astronomy
at the Cincinnati observatory and lat
er became an assistant at that institu-
ton. In 1882 he became chief astron-
omer of the observatory, resigning
several years later to become COM
putor to the transit OF Venus commits
sion under the direction of the United
States government. In 1887 he became
assistant professor of astronomy at
the Goodsell observatory of Carleton
college, and in 1900 he was made as
sociate professor of mathematics and
astronomy and later acting dean of
the college. During his career as an
astronomer Professor Wilson has de-
voted particular attention to double
star observations and astronomical
photography.
