WONDER BUILDING ACTIVITY

September starts off with a bound in
building activity. Since the first day
of the month permits have been grant
ed for Improvements valued at more
than $225,000, and applications are on
file in the inspectors office for con-
struction work valued at 1925, 900, so
that within three days It appears that
new work aggregating in value nearly
$500,000 is decided upon. This is going
some, placing September In building
easily among the record breakers.
The year 1910 is to be the leader in
greatest amount of construction work
in Los Angeles. Data at hand shows
that for the first eight months Of the
year the tremendous sum Of 14,439, ,1O3
was expended in construction work as
compared with SS137,754 for the same
number of months in 1909. 1t is ex-
pecte ! that the year will close with
more than $20,0O0,00O expended for i'm
proviments.

During the month of August, 1910,
total permits granted were $50, author

Following is the classified statement

The Ascherasi ripens early, will
Fab. and are fine, eaten with English
walnuts.
The Zehadi is said to be one of the
hardest dates grown, most resistant
to drouth and alkali. 1t is of a golden
yellow color; 1t has q sweet, mealy
flesh of fine flavor.
The Maktum is a soft, sticky date,
with small stone, no FIBRE. beautiful
golden brown, ripens in August; a
very delicate variety. ...-....#a
The Rhaus, a very early ripening
variety, ripens in July. The fruit Is
large, bay colored when ripe. with
copipus, soft, sirupy, translucent flesh,
very sweet and rich favored.
The above varieties form very good
selection for the Salton basin, and
from the seed planted Mr.. Stevens ex-
poets to bring forth some rare and
most choice kinds, as the seed planted
nnder the favorable conditions which
exist at Indio gives a good chance of
producing better date than the Deg
let Moor, and if an acre in the gardens
of Tozer Is worth 1924 at Indio an
acre would be we'll worth ten times
that amount. Eyes, 100 times" 1t is
aimed.
The date palm orchards in the Sal
ton basin, with it's many other at
ractions-superb climate in winter,
pure, cool. soft water-will attract
thousands from the cold, stormy east
ern country, that they may sit under
the shade of the majestic palm and
mediate upon the grandeur of the uni
verse. At the same time one cannot
help but wonder why the Allwise Gre
ator should provide such small area
with these wondrous blessings, filled
with luxury and comforts untold and
such large area filled with FROST
bitten subjects.

feet in the row for a few years at
least A conservative estimate
places an average of four offshoots
to the plant five years old, and an
average of one offshoot to. the plant
per 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 Off
shoots, for the imported offshoots will
be very expensive for several years
to come, besides after transporting
the offshoots on. the backs of camels
across the burning sands of Sahara
desert to the ocean liner, lie upon the
docks at both ends of the line, then
transported by rail to the indicated
FARMS the plants will certainly be
considerably weakened, and will re-
quire year of tender nursing, even
though the plants cost $25 each, and,
not more than one-half survive the
rough treatment, there yet remains a
fortune to the one who engages In
the date business in this favored To-
cation. One very desirable feature
is the abundance of clear cool, soft
water, that Is obtained by sinking
ing to within twelve to 25 feet of
the surface, and by sinking the wells
500 feet artesian water of the same
quality is found.
While it is true that when one plants
a date seed of one variety he can not
expect to secure a plant of the same
sort, it is as likely to be far superior
as to be inferior. It is important that
we plant the best varieties that have
been pollinated with first quality of
same variety. In so doing there is Sc
cured a much larger percentage of
first quality of plants.
The Deglet Moor is a soft date over
two inches in length and about one
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-04

half as wide, ovate oblong in shape,
generally widest at or near the middle,
and blunt pointed at the apex, often
narrowed also at the base, maroon
colored when ripe, the flesh two to
| three lines thick, translucent, the seed
little more than one-half as long as
the fruit, very small and pointed.
The Deglet Moor presents a combi-
nations of characters-fine flavor,
sweetness, attractive appearance,
cleanliness, good keeping qualities,
that can be rivaled by no other var
iety that is widely grown in Algeria
and Tunis. Only among very rare
sorts, such as the Menakher is there
any possibility Of its meeting a COM
petitor.
The general recognition Of the su-
perior quality and the commercial i'm
portance of the Deglet Moor is shown
by the fact that the "kanoon" tax
levied blythe Tunisan government up
on the date palms in full bearing
amounts to 251a' cents for each Deg
let Moor tree, and only two-t thirds as
much on all other varities. The Deg
let Moor gives promise of doing bet
ter in the Salton basin at Indio than
In its native country. Fred Johnson
of Indio says his Deglet Moor will RI
pen much earlier than in the best
date section in Tunis.
QUALITIES OF DATES
But it is stated that under the fav-
orable conditions that prevail in the
Salton basin, as to soil, water and
climate, many other varieties give
promise to excel themselves. r. w.
Stevens of Indio has planted Fard,
Rhaus, Deglet Moor, Ascherasi, Max
tum, Sehedi.
The Fard being one of the common
est dates in the American market, 1t
shows a marked degree of improve
