DATES WILL THRIVE
 AS ARIZONA CROP

Date culture is adapted to Arizona for several reasons, according to pr. A. F. Vinson. Biochemist of the Ari- 1ona Agriculture Experiment Station. Dr. Vinson has studied the date ex. tensiyely both in Africa and at home, and his opinion on this matter is authoritative. We have great. tracts of alkaline land with abundant water supply lying within the climatic zone suited to the palm. The methods of artificial ripening and of pasteurizing developed by the Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station have greatly ex- tended the regional limits of profit ible date culture, until now dates arc one of the safest crops that can be grown so far as weather conditions are concerned The extremely low temperature of the past winter has proven that the date palm will quick ly recuperate from the most severe freeze that we are likely ever to ex- perience.
 Competition with the Old World will probably bar us from the production of ordinary dried dates and most of the suggested ways of overcoming this competition do not seem to prom ise much. In the production of fresh dates, however, we hold the monopoly. since they are not readily transported across the sea or carried in cold stor- age; they mould very easily. Our ex- perience in 1911 in handling a 15,000 pound crop at rather high retail prices seemed to Indicate that the American public will take the fruit and that very large amounts will be consumed if the retail price can be made twenty five cents a pound or less. At this price fresh dates become comparable in value with other fruits. The Exper- iment Station has worked out the methods of culture suitable for the state, has assured the certainty Of harvesting the crop in unfavorable years, has determined a sufficient number of varieties that will prove successful commercially and has all ready created a market for the pro duct far in excess of what can be supplied for some years to come. The industry Is established. ready to he taken over by the people. As orchard of suitable varieties, such as the kir. ket (which is said to be identical with the Hayani of Egypt should easily yield net profit of $200 an acre when in full bearing. and for many years to come during the ight-bearing years the off-shoots will easily equal or ex' ceed in value the fruit crop. One man can easily attend 10 acres, with some hired labor at harvest time. and will have verl light work during the heat of the year. It Is believed that a small investment in varieties that have proven their worth in Arizona is advisable as soon as the palms can be had, and some effort to make early importations should be undertaken in by Arizonans.

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
During Dry Seasons Stirring Of Soil
Enables Roots to Go Deeper After
Nended Moisture.

Roots Of fruit trees go down deep,
into the soil, and for this reason many
farmers who have orchards think there
hJ no need to cultivate them. This il
a. mistake, as great benefit can be de-
rfved from cultivation. This Is espe-
cdally true during dry seasons, as thin.
stirring of the soil causes the roots to-
grow deeper into the ground and en-
ables them to get the necessary mois-
ture. Disease spores on fallen leaves
and fruit cam be destroyed by turning
under the sod Very often insect pests
breed under the trees and by stirring
up the soil these places are destroyed.
In the spring as soon as the ground
is in fit condition is the best time to
commence eultivating. This cultiva-
ton should continue while the tree Is
making; Its seasons growth. After
the last blowing it is good plan. to

new orchard-the trees will grow fast
