Professors Forbes and vinson of University of Arizona to Dis
 cuss Culture at Big Meeting

BERKELEY, Cal, June .2.-Date culture in California will be dis cussed at the Fruit Growers Asso- at the Davis farm the first week in June. The growing interest in this subject has led those in charge of the meeting to arrange a strong pro- gram upon the subject Profs. R. H. Forbes and A. E. Vinson of Tucson, Arizona, the two leading date experts in American will be present and tell what they know of the subject.
 Prof. Wilson has recently returned from a trip to Northern Africa where he eXperimented with the dates of that region, while Dr. Forbes has been experimenting with the growing of dates in Arizona Tor many years. He has imported the best varieties of this fruit from all parts of the world.
 Olive culture is another subject which will be under discussion at this convention, and the unusual in terest that it has for southern Call fOrna has caused the authorities at Davis to plan for prominent speakers upon this subject.
 Figs and walnuts, two crops of special importance to both Arizona and California, will be treated, and experts from the southern end of the state will tell of their methods of growing and marketing.
 On the afternoon of June 3 there will be special fig growers meet ing, at which some of the leading growers Of the San Joaquin and Sac ramento valleys will speak It is said that the general public will be surprised at the progress which fig culture has made during recent years and the possibilities which this in duStry has in this state.
