option to invite further competitors.
This will mean that an even faster set
of contestants than the eighteen or

be developed for the opening classic,
which has now been set for Saturday,

APR|C0TS GROW
CONTINUED from page one)

I'here are more than one Thousand
acres of old bearing vines, and nearl,
as many acres of new paintings. Abou,
700 cars of the fruit are Shipped cas-,
every season bringing fancy prices. 1,
Is posslble' TO raise three crops a year
here.
Nature Works Fast
Grapefruit has proven to be the best
OF che citrus fruits. Three.year.old
trees here have the size of trees twice
their age ard yield considerable fruit
There have been more grapefruit trees
planted in this county than any other
variety as will be noted by the above
record. s.
The largest orchard of grapefruit
consists of sixty acres. The long hot
season does wonders for the quality of
this fruit To quote from an expert Of
the United States Department of Agri
culture. THE fruit which you sent me
has fine quality very juicy and sweet
thte Iind is thin and as whole / should
say that it is a pleasing and superior
quality. Very little sugar is needed in
eating Imperial Valley grapefruit"
Lemons do very well, growing very
juicy fruit, with thin skin and full OF
acid.
Olives DO Fine.
Many varieties of oranges have been
.r'ed out but seedlings produce the
pest quality OF fruit, however. The
Imperial Valley press., 1920-02-26

Washington navals l'ipen the first OF
November, and should be picked as
soon as ripe for best results.
7 There are many olive trees planted in
different sections of the valley. The
largest orchard consists of forty acres.
OF the deciduous fruit the apricot is in
the lead. The early varieties ripen by
April 20, and shipments continue until
the last of May. Newcastle and Royal
are the principal varieties. 1t is al.
most unbelievable how fast apricot
trees ripen in this valley. With good
care year-old tree is the size OF a tree
in other parts of the state three years
old
Nearly all varieties of peaches have
been tried and the Chinese and south
ern varieties have proven tn be the
most profitable. However, peaches are
not considered commercially.
One sixty.acre orchard of pears re-
ports the highly successful growing Of
Bartlett and winter Bartlett varieties
for commercial uses.
Figs and Dates
This has been proven beyond any
doubt to be natural country for fig
and promises a large. firm
quality Of fruit.
Many people predict that the date in
dAstry in Imperial county will develop
into one Of great Importance, due to the
fact that it is impossible to obtain i'm
ported date offshoots, due to the recent
war embargo. The business of planting
seeds is slow Of establishment All Of
the many promising fruits have been
obtained in that way.
At present there are many promising
gardens here, and the fruit is as fine as
Imperial Valley press., 1920-02-26

| that raised in Algeria, Arabia or any
of the Sahara countries. 1t is possible
! to utilize many thousand acres of lands
not suited for agricultural purposes for
the growing of dates.
| The commercial berry of the valley is
the strawberry, and they do well, pro-
ducing fine fruit and netting the grower
a handsome profit Nearly twenty-five
cars of this fruit is shipped annually.
This county is justly noted for it's rap
id increase in developments along all
lines of production.
Much could be said Of the canteloupe
industry here, as this county produces
more cantaloupes than any one state in
the union. All the markets of the
country know of the Imperial Valley
canteloupe. More will be said of this
fruit in another special article.
i Asparagus Is Early.
Asparagus is one of the products of
this valley that brings the greatest re-
turns to the owners of any of the pres
ent crops. The season opens about the
5th of February and continues for
couple of months. Early in the season
it is not uncommon to receive $1.25
pound in the eastern market.
A light recapitulation of the forego.
ing may readily be taken to show that
this valley affords the finest oriental
and lower Asiatic fruits and berries: all
the growing things of ordinary tropical
products, together with an early crop
of those highly essential table necessi-
ties commonly grown throughout the
country, except that in our case the
product is ripened and shipped to mar
ket long before any other produce can
be said to be ready for harvesting.

KERNEL SMUT OF soRGHuMs

1t has been estimated that one-haH
million dollars are lost each year IN
Kansas by Kernel smut attacking the
sorghums- This smut attacks all sorg-
huns except Feterita and Milo which
seem to be immune 1t destroys the
kernel in the head by replacing the
grain with a mass of black dust or
spores which are the means of start
ing the disease on other plants These
spores are carried by the seed and
stick to the outside and if planted
with the seed begin to grow, grow
inside the stalk and come to head in
the kernel
These spores can be killed before
planting by treating the seed with
formaldehyde, one pint to thirty gal
Ions of water. The sorghum seed
should be soaked for one hour in this
solution or mixture and then remov-
ed and spread out in thin layers to
dry After thoroughly dry it may be
planted or stored in clean sacks until
seeding time While drying it should
be stirred occasionally to hasten dry
ing and prevent molding or sprout-
ing.

Occasionally these days you run

enough to make a standing army of

century Dad has gone on the theory
that he must toll and slave by day and
night so that his children will not
have to work hard they reach
maturity Well, in most cases Dad
has succeeded, but what of the bow
True, the boy knows the latest styles
in silk socks, silk shirts and fancy toe
shoes and can call off all the concoc-
tions at the town soda fountain and
ice cream parlor from memory. He
can get the old car out and spin by
the fence posts at fifty miles per hour
without batting an eve. He has fever
in his blood and will bet you a ten
spot on any old proposition and put
uD the mon. He's the real simon pure,
