valley olive tree will receive thirty three and one-third per cent more growth per year than the same tree propagated in California. Cause-Con- stant sunshine and a rich. silty. sol uble soil California has begun to realize the importance and profit from the olive culture.
 In a recent Sunday article of the Los Angeles Examiner. Warren Mcintyre. publicity manager for the Los Angeles Realty Board, says:
 know of man with ten acres of olives, about ninety miles from the city. who has made as high as s4O00. clear. from a single acre.
 From one tree alone he realized s4OO. This. however. is an unusual instance. and is not only due to the fact that the man has devel ped the highest type of tree, but that he utilizes the latest things in marketing. so that he sells his olives in fancy bottles to exclusive eastern families. He puts out a jar that nets him s1OO. or profit of s 1-3c per olive"

THREE BIG "Os" IN THIS VALLEY
One Of Them the Olive Destined to be
 Great Industry

That Arizona is the natural home of the olive is becoming conceded by all who have paid any attention to this particular industry.
 SD much in demand is the ripe olive that packers and refiners are encour- aging in every way an increase in ac- reage. and are willing to contract for thls product from ten to forty years in advance
 From a gustatory point this fruit has taken the east by storm. Arizona and California, being the only two states in which they can be successfully grown have monopoly in the growing of olives, and we are exporting them to- day to Italy and Spain, their original nome, because they cannot ripen the fruit there to compare with our pro- duct. The Salt River valley is awak- enlng to this fact and many acres have just recently been planted to olives.
 In conversation with C. I. Helm of the Comeback Nursery. he states that he is q ing a big business in young olive trees. having just recently sold sufficient to plant $40 acres of olives to the Arizona Securities & Investment company, besides a number of small Ter orders Not to be caught witnou, the goods next year. he is setting out sixty thousand olive tips, receiving them from the Armstrong nurseries Ontario California, at the rate of ten thousand per week.
 Mir. Helm states that the Salt River
