PRESENT STATUS OF DATE
CULTURE IN SOUTHWEST
BN WALTER I. SWINGLE.

BN WALTER 7. SWlNGLE,
Psychologist in Charge of Crop Physi
oi0gy and Breeding Investigations
II has been demonstrated by the
work Of the department Of agriculture
and the numerous date growers coop
Grating with it that the growing OF
standard dates. such as the Deglet
NOOr. by resident farmers In hot, dry,
irrigated valleys is very promising
new line Of fruit culture.
The satisfactory outcome Of the eX-
periments of the bureau of plant in
duStry in establishing the commercial
culture of the date palm in the Goa
chella and Imperial valleys has aroused
much interest in date growing on a
commercial scale. While the new in
dustry has very promising future if
ed claims. such as are now being made
by parties in some speculative enter
prises, are bound to lead to great dis
appointment on the part of uniformed
purchasers and are likely to jeopardlze
the future of the date industry and 10
hinder seriously the proper develop
ment Of those regions best adapted to
date culture.
1t should be clearly borne in mind
that date culture is new industry.
requiring experience and unusual skill
on the part of the grower. and that it
must be carried out in regions having
an extremely hot SUMMERTIME causes
which greatly increase the expense and
risk of date culture to nonresident own
ers and corporations. The profits of
date culture are almost impossible to
estimate in advance, and the claims
made on this point in many instances
have been unintentionally exaggerated
especially since date culture as it now
exists is supplemental to other types
Of farming. Further development and
better organization of the date indus
try, both in regard to growing and to
marketing, are needed before dates can
safely be grown as the only crop. Any
calculation as to the probable profits
of date culture is Of little value, since
this industry is now, little understood
and demands unusual skill and knOWl
edge on the part Of the grower.
1t often happens that one Of two
adjoining orange orchards yields a very
handsome profit even on land haVlng
a very high valuation, while the other
with identical soil and climatic condi-
tiOns is run at a loss to the owner.
How much more is this likely to be
the case in growing the date palm,
which, unlike the orange, is new
crop plant and only imperfectly under
stood
In particular. many nonresident own
ers or stock companies are at present
very poorly equipped to carry on this
industry with any certainty of success.
since there are only a few competent
managers to be had who understand
date culture and who are able to en-
dure the trying summer climate Of the
date growing regions. 1t must be re
membered that the planting of untested
varieties is a very risky matter. The
date palm, unlike all other commonly
grown fruit trees, cannot be budded

HOW TRAGEDY WAS AVERTED
If Train Had Only Come Through
His Land Sideways.

In Tennessee backwoods lived a
farmer who, although he had never
seen railroad, yet had his opinion
of them and the mischief which he
understood they might cause. Accord
ing to his notion, train was as
much to be dreaded as a cyclone it.
self. Great, then. was his consterna-
ton upon learning that right of
way for railroad was wanted
through his farm. He swore "by
hickory" that no money could buy it.
Finally land enough for the purpose
was condemned and the road built.
TLe day the first train was to pass,
the neighbors, knowing of the old
fellows opposition, persuaded him,
nevertheless, to go with them to see
it. AS the train disappeared, some
one said: you see, Bill. it didn't
hurt anything, after ALL" Bill was
surprised, but hated to abandon his
contention that train would ruin

WHY SERVE CAKE WITH TEA?
Writer Criticizes Hostesses for Their
Penehant for Serving Inappro-
pirate Combinations.

.inyone who serves waters with tea
is lacking in gastronomic imagination.
Drinking tea and eating a wafer is
like having q picnic in the woodshed,
or wearing an Easter hat with 60
loshes, declares a writer in the Allan
tic Monthly.
1t is a hueless compromise where
there might be vivid delight. Many
otherwise excellent hostesses fail to
perceive the relation between after
noon tea and its edible accompani-
ments. They will serve you a hard,
obstinate biscuit that you break, red
faced, on the rim of your saucer, send
ing, as likely as not, your cup bouDc-
ing over the other edge, and your tea
splashing into your neighbor's lap;
or they generously provide you with a
huge, gelatinous cube Of cake that ad'
heres to your saucer, and renders you
temporarily web-fingered, the while
you attempt to formulate an epigram
on Henry James, or discourse glibly
as to why women like men.
There is yet another type of hostess
who passes with your tea a dribbling
sandwich, oozing salad dressing at
every pore and containing, half con.
cealed, malicious, indivisible lettuce
leaf. People who thus fail Of main
tanning the fitness Of things at the
tea hour have no genuine apprecia

Best Use of Scent.

The best way to use scent, If you
care to use it at all, is to put a deli
cate extract in an atomizer and spray
yourself with it. Strong scents are
offensive and the most subtle and
elusive odor is that obtained from q
generous use of sachet bags laid
among ones lingerie, in the drawers
with ones handkerchiefs, gloves and
wells, and possibly fastened in the
front of ones stays or in some inner
fold of the bodice. One can buy many
different kinds of powder for sachets
but whatever you choose. heliotrope
violet, rose or carnation, remember
that the addition of little orris pow
der will add to it's strength and make
1t more lasting.
