Olive Has High Rank Among Home Products
 Of Salt River Valley

fornia fruit. There are no diseased trees in the valley. nor are the or chards subject to insect pests. There are about 300 acres of bearing trees in the valley.
 As an investment the olive has all turing possibilities. The trees ma ture in about five years as commer- cial bearers. A full bearing grove will produce a ton of olives to the River valley are consistent bearers from year to year, the orchardist is certain ofsan uninterrupted income.
 In normal times the olives will bring at least S100 a ton, and, year in and year out, will bring in more money than perhaps any other crop. Some groves here have produced as high as four tons of fruit to the acre. The trees must be pruned and suck cred and watered. They are easy to care for. and. as Miss Gregg re- marked, if taken care of will take care of the grower. The trees will bear for an indefinite time. In Cali fornia there are olive trees that have been steady producers for more than 100 years. They stand drouth and frost well. and if the fruit is killed by cold weather the trees are not af- fected, as is the case with lemons and oranges.
 Food Value High
 The food value of the ripe olive is high. Six large ripe olives are equal to a pound of beefsteak. The ripe olive has a higher food content than any other fruit. which is borne out by the statement that the government requires that the fruit have an oil content of IT per cent before it may be. termed ripe" The best olives are the Manzanilla and the Mission. The Manzanilla is an early variety, while the Mission brings its fruit to maturity late in the season.
 Miss Gregg, who has been engaged l in the processing of olives since 1916, gave yesterday a few facts for the information of the purchaser of ol- | ives. The olives packed here are l ripened on the tree, and is therefore | a really ripe olive. It's color is not black. as the fastidious desire, but a rich chocolate brown. Black olives are green olives, without native fla vor or food value. The ripe olive also, is not hard, but firm. Black hard olives, therefore, no matter how nice they appear, are green and are as worthless as food as any other green fruit.
 The Gregg Olive company took ur the canning of apricots last year and met with unusual success. All this product has been sold. and now the plant will be used for apricots steadi- ly through the season, with peaches being added this year. The apricots | come from the Salt River valley. arc high in sugar content and are ad- mirable for packing purposes.
 The officers of the Gregg Olive company are Miss Jane Gregg, presi- dent and general manager; Miss Edns Gregg, secretary and treasurer, ana L. N. Olson, plant manager. It has been engaged in the industry for fivs years. and it's product has won a de. servedly high place, not only for th' perfection of the fruit but for tht manner in which it Is prepared ana presented to the user.

"A Theater Unexcelled In The Southwest" Is Yer dict = Interesting Pro- gram Given - M a n Y Prominent Citizen S Guests Of Honor

Long before the doors of the beau tiful new Rialto theater were thrown open to the general public about 6 o'clock last night line of ticket holders extended from the entrance on West Washington street almost a block toward Central avenue When capacity was registered for the first performance the doors were closed and a new line exceeding the first in length waited patiently for the second show.
 And Richards and Mace, proprie- tors of the new playhouse, had something worth waiting for. They opened to Phoenix a theater which is not excelled for beauty of appoint ments and decorative effects in the entire Southwest. and they pre- sented for the opening a program of music and pictures which far sur pa ssed in variety and entertainment value any similar offering
 Governor and Mrs. Thomas E. Campbell and party; Mayor Punk ett and Mrs. Plunkett, and many other state, county and city officials were guests of honor and joined in extending to the men who made the theater a reality their hearty con gratulations and best wishes. A section was occupied by local Shriners.
