1t Is the Judgment Of the Press that the
minimum temperature in this valley runs
five degrees too low to make 1t reason
ably good risk to plant these fruits on a
large scale.
This is said regretfully, for otherwise
there are some encouraging factors. This
valley can produce lemons and grape
fruit to perfection. Mediterranean Sweet
and late Valencia oranges grow splendid
ly. The navel orange does not cling well
to the tree in so hot and dry weather
as we have and is not very satisfac-
tory to grow here.
Taking the situation as it is, the Press
would be pleased to see few citrus fruit
trees planted on many farms. 1t would
not like to see any person plant heavily
This was the Judgment of the editor OF
the Press ten years ago, and he has seen
nothing to change his opinion.
But while this vale yis denied the
citrus fruit industry on large scale, II
has in dates an industry which will be
fully as profitable as orange growing ant
for which there is bigger undevelopet
field. The date will in time be to this
valley all that the orange Is to River
| side and Redlands.

OF CITRUS FRUITS

The Press often receives inquiries
regarding the suitability. of this valley
for citrus fruits, and the following let
ter from L. NJ. Holt, for years one of the
best known newspaper men in Southern
valley in the early days has just been re-
ceived:
Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 21. 1911.
Z. F. Howe Editor Daily Press, Ell Cen
tro. California:
Dear Howe.-There is a feeling of un-
certainty among the people that / meet
as to the winter temperatures of the I'M
perial Valley-more especially touching
the question of citrus fruit culture. Years
ago l advised people to go slow in plant
ing citrus fruits because ! was in doubt.
More recently l have become satisfied
that the valley would become the home
of the early orange. l have not been
down there for two years, but / under
stand that orange trees are doing well,
and that it is practically frostless coun-
try.
Parties have applied to me for informa-
ton, because they contemplate planting a
large orchard near Ell Centre.
/ wish you could publish an article Civ
ing full information along this line; what
has been done; what is being done. and
has any damage been done to orange
trees in the valley by frost and any other
information that would be of use to those
desiring to engage in that line of busi-
ness in the valley.
Thanking you IN advance for compli-
ance with this request, l remain,
Yours truly.
L. NJ. HOLT.
Like Mr. Holt, the editor of the Press
never has recommended the planting of
citrus fruits in the valley. aside from
small orchards WHICH the owners can af-
ing is sufficient Justification for this po-
sition.
AT different points in the valley mer-
curry fell to from IS to 25 degrees, the lat
ter being the record at the Press Office.
When it is known that l6 degrees will
strip the bark off the oldest orange OF
lemon tree il is apparent how great the
risk is.
The cold of this morning has not been
equaled since January, 1910. but it was
much worse than this in January 1902
when mercury did not rise above the
freezing point for two days and nights
No citrus fruit tree could have survived
that cold spell, and in parts of the val
ley the frost of last night would have
been highly injurious to citrus fruit trees
1t is a fact that no high grade oranges
are grown except on the danger line. but
