WATER Nj ELONS,
GREEN CORN NOW
BEING GATHERED
Farmers Just Beginning
TO Realize Wonders of
Winter Crops
By Press staff Correspondent

CALIPATR1A, Dee. 13.-Truly
has Imperial Valley been named
"The Winter Garden of America, y
for nowhere can such wonderful re-
suits be obtained, where sun, soil
and water form n trio which it is
impossible to beat Following are
Just a few of the miracles daily be-
ing performed by our Incompatible
climate: 20 dozen of green corn
were brought in by l.. A. Rawles
Saturday from the II. II. Clark ranch
west of the city. Mr.. Rawles has
only beer experimenting with corn
this year, and his ambition is to
have a carload of this delicious veg
etable on the New York market at
Christmas time next year.
A. Finley, whose woyear-old
vineyard Il few miles northeast of
Calipatria is noted for its remark
able growth, has had delicious
watermelons this month, and recent
ly picked two fine 20-pounders,
which were the equal of any grown
earlier in the year.
Second Crop Of Grapes
Pete Baretta brought in a bunch
of grapes from his vineyard a mile
west Of Calipatria, a second crop
growth. These are unusual instan-
ccs Of course, but thousands of acres
Of lettuce now being cut is not un-
usual, neither is the crop of green
peas which is being harvested III
different parts of the valley at this
time.
Mr.. Rawles also has five pear
trees loaded with delicious winter
Bartlctts, which he will pick for
Christmas market. He will prob
ably have 400 hounds of fruit. The
II. II. Clark ranch, which Mr.. Rawles
is operating this year, is one of the
show places of the north end, and
proves that most farmers have not
begun to realize the possibilities for
growing winter fruit and vegetables
in this incompatible valley.

Only three kinds of nuts are pro-
duccd on a commercial scale in the
United States, according to the
year book of the Department of Ag-
riculture for 1921, these three being
pecans, walnuts and almonds.
Though the pecan industry is a
small one in California, compared to
the raising Of almonds and walnuts,
it is fast meeting with favor and
bids fair to grow to a considerable
size in the next 10 years.
Though a few pecan trees have
been set out in Imperial Valley, the
crop in this vicinity has never been
large, but those who have Il few
trees reap good profit from them.
Two carloads Of pecan trees are cx-
pected to arrive in the valley within
short time and it is believed 9TH
ers will follow soon, and that the
pecan growing industry will soon
become another of the profitable
industries of Imperial Valley.
Lots of Water Required
The pecan tree requires plenty of
moisture, and for this reason is
expected to grow well along irriga-
ton bitches and low lands where
other crops could not be raised adj
vantageously. A. M. Shenk, w. j.
Hartman and Lloyd Ayers of Cal
exico have already become interest
ed in the growing of pecans and
are preparing land to receive part
of the first shipment of trees.
The pecan is Il native Of the lower
Mississippi Valley and the largest
acreage is found in a belt which ey-

Pecan Nut Culture Bids Fair to
Become Another Great Industry
Here; Experiments are Successful

tends from central Missouri, across
Oklahoma, to central Texas. In re
cent years, extensive planting of
pecan trees has taken place in Gcor-
gia, the Carolinas, and other south
ern states. Its introduction into Gil
fornia has met with success, the same
as other crops usually associated
with the south.
There are several large groves of
pecan trees near Yuma which have
been visited by Imperial Valley pco-
pie interested in pecan culture and
the success met with the nuts there
has greatly encouraged and stimu-
lated their introduction in the val
ley. The pccans grown at Yuma are
exceptionally large and meaty, with
a comparatively soft shell, making
them extremely popular for them
ket.
Several Jars ON Display
Several jars of the nuts grown at
Yuma have been on display at the
Pioneer Title Insurance Company
on Main street in this city for sew
eral weeks past and have caused
considerable favorable comment by
their fine appearance.
There is usually good demand
for pecans, the price ranging from
20 cents per pound to as high as
$3.50 for the better varieties. With
such prices prevailing, it is easy to
understand how the pecan industry
offers good opportunity for invest
ment, especially SO when other crops
involving more expenditure and out.

profits.

GROWERS OF HOME
NURSERY STOCK ARE
TO BE ENCOURAGED

One OF the industries which adds
to the beauty Of Baraboo is that of
the small fruit and. nursery plant
growers. These Industries are surely
disposed to give service and quality
to neighbors and residents who are
possibly being induced by misleading
advertisements and flowery cata-
logues to send away for these kinds of
plants.
There should be confidence in the
local grower who has ascertained by
experience which plants are best
adapted to this soil and climate.
The growers are here to do bust
ness according to a code of ethics
and can easily be held accountable
for mistakes or misrepresentation
while plants shipped from distant
firms, especially from certain locali-
ties, are badly diseased, poorly pack
ed, seriously sOured and stale and
often of different varieties than stated
in the order
