the climatic conditions peculiar to the
cate industry and to them the informa-
ti0n that hundreds of acres are being
prepared for date plantations was a
revelation. That American dates, ripe
and luscious, could be picked of the
date palms in Yuma was indeed q
novelty. Also the cleanliness OF the
date compared with the unSanitary i'm
rcriCd Cate was most obvious and ap-

the date industry are destined to be

secure.
