In some parts Of the southwest, giant

telephone poles. This is the case in Ari-

lar Electricity magazine, the United

.tvelop and use all its natural resources.
We read:
' zone Of these Is the giant cactus, q
sturdy, non-edible frutt-bearing plant
which sometimes attains q height of
40 feet. The sahuara, or cactus, is
strong and tough, and when 1t became
necessary to build a telephone line from
the office of the supervisor Of forests
ito the Soldiers Camp Ranger station,
a distance OF some 80 miles, economy
dictated that some use be made of the
many sahuaras growing along the pro-
posed route. ~ "As '%
