PLANTS IMPORTED
ON ICE FROM AFRICA

Although nearly 1000 date palm off
shoots have been imported into the
United States, nearly all of them to
the Coachella valley, in recent years,
it is likely that the importations for
the coming winter will be as large as
those of the last ten years put togeth-
er. 1t has been so well proved that
those who give their offshoots intelli-
gent care can get large percentage
of them to grow, that the business is
far past the experimental stage. and
is becoming more and more looked on
as the only safe foundation for the
date industry in this valley, admitted
ly the finest date growing country i'll
the world
The latest new idea in importatio
is due to Bernard G. Johnson of Nee
ca, one of the pioneers of the indus
try and formerly in charge of the
governments experimental garden
there. Mr.. Johnson brought his I'M
portation shoots from Algeria on ice
this year, and they arrived in very
fresh shape.
He explains that he originated this
idea in his 1908 shipment, which was
unavoidably made late in the season,
50 that when the ship was out in the
gulf of Mexico, hot weather made the
palms begin to grow. He realized that
if they spent their reserve vitality OH
their leaves it would interfere with
their roofing properly here, so when
he got them on the train, he had them
put in iced refrigerator cars, intend
ing merely to cool them off for dav
or two, and thus check growth
BY some mistake, however ice was
put in the cars all the way through
so they remained at a temperature of
so or so degrees. Such a large per.
centage of them grew that he decided
the icing did them good, and repeated
the process in the shipment which ar
rived earlier this month.
1t has been suggested that the cool
ing would make the plants tender, SO
that when exposed to the warm sun Of
COachella valley they would die Of
rheumatism or pneumonia. This can
only be decided by experience: but
of the iced plants which Prof. R. H.

Think of oranges almost as red as
June apples! That's the sort that
grow at Orosi, in the upper part OF
Tulare county. These red oranges are
not 10 be compared with the ordinary
golden" variety-they are larger,
richer, juicier, more luscious
The difference is in the soil, the
water, the climate-but particularly
in the soil. The answer is, iron"
The great quantity of iron in Orosi
soil gives oranges that rich red color
that is making Tulare county famous.
Growers from all over the state are
talking about Tulare county, especial
ly about the Orosi district. New set
tiers are coming in from all parts of
the country; and men already in the
district, who have heretofore been
content with small acreage, are reach
ing out for more land.

Forbes planted in 1908, it is said that
only two or three died.
Both of these shipments have been
rather later in the year than usual,
however, and for those made during
the cooler months ice would certainly
be unnecessary, even for a much long
er shipment. Next winter, for ex-
ample, it is probable that all the Off
shoots will be brought from the Per-
sian gulf. the home of the most fam
Gus dates in the world; but if these
are started in time, they will not need
icing. Some of the small shipments
which the United States department
from the Persian gulf have been
among the most successful ever made
into America.
The question is frequently asked:
'How can one be sure, in getting i'm
ported shoots, that they are true to
name?" This looks little difficult
when one sees a single isolated shoot
in California: but seeing them in
quantities in the country from which
they are brought, nothing can be cas-
ier than to avoid imposition.
Each date palm has characteristics
which appear in the offshoot and are
so clear-cut and permanent that they
form perfectly safe guide to the vari
ETY.. The Arabs are able to tell by
looking at a single offshoot just what
variety it is: but even an inexper-
fenced man, if he sees a large number
together, can tell without hesitation
whether or not they are all of the
same variety.
If he is looking over a pile of Deglet
Moor offshoots, he can detect at a
glance a. stray Itima which someone
has tried to unload on him. And as
there are always few honest men 10
show him the different varieties, even
supposing that most of the natives
were trying to cheat him, man of
ordinary intelligence stands no risk
of not getting what he is paying for
in purchasing offshoots for expectation
to this country.
Repeated experiments with dipping
and spraying palms and offshoots tend
to confirm the announcement made
several months ago, that the scale
problem is not entirely solved. Both
the Parlatoria and Mariatt scales sue
cumb to the methods of treatment
now employed; and although it may
| take repeated dipping to eradicate
the pests entirely, there is no longer
any fear that they cannot be controlled
TO the satisfaction of everyone
This problem will not be so vital in
the case of the importation of off
shoots next winter for the palms in
the Persian gulf are not nearly so
much infested as those in north
Africa. Consequently they will not
/ only be easier to clean up after their
arrival here, but are likely to be
healthier and more vigorous to start
with than those imported in the past
So far the West India gardens of
Altadena are the only importers who
have announced their plans. They
will start two men for Bagdad about
August /, TO make thorough study
of the dates there and bring back the
most famous varieties. 1t is not vet
known whether any of the other i'm
porters will be in the field-Coachella

MR.. EVANS AND MR.. KIRBY

lF1 Once more, the congressional
situation. The scene shifts and the
view is better defined. San Diego has
centered on Lewis r. Kirby, so far ds
it can center on any person, and Mr..
Evans of Riverside has made unequiv-
Roosevelt. These are two new feat
ures in the situation, and in day the
whole aspect is changed.
This valley would very gladly CO.
operate with San Diego in the selec-
ton of a congressman if that were
made possible, but, unfortunately, con-
ditions are such that it is not possi-
BILE
Mr.. Kirby made his appearance as
a congressional candidate on an indi-
vidual platform. He does not stand
for or against Roosevelt, or for or
against Taft. His personal platform is
neither Progressive nor Stand Pat. It
is series of declarations, each so
qualified as to make it meaningless.
The fact that Mr.. Kirby is supported
by the Stand Pat crowd in San Diego
gives color to the belief that he is in
reality designed as the reactionary
candidate.
A candidate for supervisor might
well issue a persona. platform, but a
congressman is so essentially a factor
i'll party politics that it is inevitable
that he stand on party issues and take
sides according to the demarcation of
Imperial Valley press., 1912-07-11

The Press has not been inclined to
look with favor on the candidacy of
Mr.. Evans. Until yesterday it believed
this county should bring forth it's own
candidate, San Diego having failed to
present an acceptable man.
But the Progressive vote of this dis
trict must not be divided, and now that
Mr.. Evans has placed himself definite
" on record with the Progressive ele
ment, the Press sees no course bui
for all the Progressives in the district
to give him loyal support.

NICHOLS APPEALS TO
 GOVERNOR FOR LIFE
WYE FE-MURDERER IS ARD ON PETITION TO COMMUTE
 HIS SENTENCE.

Little Rock, April 15.-W. T. Nich- ols, the Jefferson county wife-murder- CT, has one chance of his life yet He was convicted October 20, 1911, sent enced to hang January 5, 1912, ap- pealed to the supreme court winch affirmed the lower court February 5, and the governor has Set May as his day of execution.
 A petition has been filed with the governor, signed by 169 persons, praying the governor to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. They give the following reasons for elem ency:
 Nichols has always been a good, quiet, w-abiding citizen; that he was never arrested on any charge prior to this one; that some evidence was permitted to be introduced show ing that the deceased, who was the wife of defendant, was cruel and nag gin" in her treatment of defendant, tending to show that she had made life burden for him up to this time, but that by the technical rules of evi- dence the court stopped the introduc- tion of this evidence and refused to permit the defendant to show how he had been treated by her.
 "The defendant had many witnesses present by whom this could have been shown, and it is the contention on the part of the defendant that the killing occurred on account of deceased's bad treatment of him, her utter disregard of his feelings through many years, having flippantly refused to live with him, and having sought to take from him his children, and being in the act at the time of the killing of forcibly taking from his lap his baby while it
