lality of it's citrus fruit.
1000 Acres in Valley

G,UOU Acres IN valley
According to the best statistics
available on the industry, there are
about 1000 acres in the valley de-
voted to citrus fruit. OF this acreage
approximately 1900 acres is set to
bearing orange and grapefruit trees,
the remainder of the acreage being
set to young groves which have not
yet reached the bearing stage. The
statistics give the total number of
bearing trees to be $4,000. with sew
eral thousand young unbearing trees.
In 1919, the figures show that ap-
proximately $4,000 boxes of oranges
were secured from $1,000 bearing
trees and 10000 boxes of grapefruit
from 10000 bearing trees. In 1920;
$4,000 boxes of oranges were secured
from $4,000 bearing trees, and $4,000
boxes of grapefruit from $4,000 bear
ing trees. In 1921, a short crop year,
about $4,000 boxes OF oranges were
picked from $1,000 bearing trees and
approximately 5000 boxes of grape
fruit from $4,000 bearing trees.
The average yearly production from
the citrus fruit groves of the valley
is 1872 boxes of fruit to the acre, which
gives each bearing tree 115h pounds
of fruit or 1.65 boxes a year. The
average net returns to the grower a
year from an acre OF land is S448, or
approximately s5 to the tree. The av-
erage price received on the market
for the fruit was 515 cents or about
$3.50 a box.
Big Area Adaptable
There is approximately 10000 acres
of land in the valley which as adapted
to the growing Of citrus fruit and it
is the hope of the growers in the val
ley to see the citrus acreage increase
in the not far distant future at the
rate of about 1000 acres each year.
Through careful selection of nursery
stock, the trees should begin to pro-
duce fruit within four or five years
after planting.
OF the 1920 yield of fruit, 125 cars
were shipped to the Eastern markets
while 80 cars were consumed by
Phoenix and the state. This years
output for shipment to the Eastern
markets was about 10000 boxes of
fruit or 120 carloads consisting of
about half and half OF oranges and
grapefruit, and the prices received
for the latter crop was higher than
ever before.
The orange crop during the past
year has been subjected to peculiar
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

condition as the unusual weather of
the past year was not favorable to
the production of the best quality
Of fruit. The fruit, due to the wealth
er, matured on the tree very late,
and because of the rather light yield,
the oranges were diversified. Car ship
mentS were frequently made up Of
such large oranges that the dealers
were unable to handle them. The ex-
treme large sizes of the fruit result
ed in condition in the Eastern mar
kets such as might arise to a shoe
dealer who, upon opening q shipment
of shoes, found the sizes to range
from 9s to los, while his trade calls
for sizes ranging from 6s to IS.
Not Discouraged
This condition, however, is one
limited to this year and carries no
discouragement to the grower. The
remedy for the situation is to strive
for larger and heavier yield of fruit
on each tree and all efforts Of the
Arizona Citrus Fruit Growers com
pany, formed last year to market the
production of valley, will be given
to an investigation of the peculiar
condition and to suggest the proper
improvements. This company has not
satisfied itself that it's sole aim is
to market the fruit of the grower,
but feels it should be the center and
inspiration of the citrus industry in
the valley, doing all that it can to
bring about increased knowledge of
the industry by suggesting the best
methods of cultivation suitable to the
climatic conditions of the Salt River
valley. The industry, according to
officials Of the company, neeos an
awakening to its own value and can
be increased only through the means
of scientific study followed by hard
and consistent work.
The citrus fruit industry in the
valley began in 1888 when w. J..
Murphy and William Christy and 9TH
ers set out the first orange groves.
These early pioneers of the industry
planted a few hundred acres of cit
rus trees in the Salt RIVER valley and
number of varieties were set out in
the several groves so that by the
early work Of these adventurers a
definite assurance that the locality
was adapted to the raising of oranges
and a comparison of the productive
ness of the different kinds was OBJ
tanned.
Early Struggles
For many years the chief struggle
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

Although the citrus fruit industry in the Salt River
valley since it's start more than 80 years ago. has not
been recognized as the leading agricultural crop of the
valley it bids fair to jump into the lead and to be-
come the main commercial staple, for the industry is
yet in its infancy. Growers of the fruit have made much
progress forward through scientific experiments and
through further experiments to be had this year, it is
expected the industry will be placed basis that will
make Arizona noted throughout the land for the high
quality of its citrus fruit.

AMOUNT OF RAIN VARIES

In the valley of the Colorado river,
in the northwestern part of the state,
the normal annual precipitation is
about 10 inches, while in the noun
tains in the central part of the state
it varies from 1S to 25 inches. In the
northeastern part of the state, on the
rolling plateau, the precipitation
drops below 10 inches. On the lower
Colorado and the ella rivers the
average annual precipitation is below
5 inches, and to the east of this it
increases, being about inches at
Phoenix, in the Salt River valley;
about inches at Maricopa, in the
Gila river valley; and about IL inch
es at Tucson. 1t is higher at many
points which lie in higher elevations.

OVERHAUL AUTO
 NON READY FUR
 SUMMER JAUNTS
Thorough Going Over Now May Obviate Necessity of
 Car Being Laid Up Later

During this time of the year, there are days at time when the car is not used to any extent. Therefore, this is the logical time of the year to have it thoroughly overhauled, says Frank Thayer of Thayer's garage. Many people realize this fact, and have the car put in good condition for the spring and summer months, when driving is the most pleasant of all rec reations.
 It is best to start with the motor, grinding the valves, cleaning out the carbon, to give motor more power. Having the pistons properly aligned new rings fitted. The bearings should be gone over to see that they are pro perly fitted. rather than have them ruin a pleasant trip, by causing trou- ble at some later time. The carbur- etor and vacuum tank should be cleaned out, and carburetor adjusted to reduce gasoline bills.
 The electrical system requires a thorough looking over now and then, to avoid agsravating missing and pos sible stopping of motors. The points should be examined, the spark plugs cleaned, broken ones replaced all wire connections gone over and the battery charged.
 Brakes, not in good condition, are a menace, not only to the car owner, but to all drivers and pedestrians. In this country they are one of the vitally important points of an automobile. With their. failure to function proper ly the result may be a serious acci- dent entailing not only considerable money but the loss of life. It is not long or an expensive job, to have them re-lined and adjusted.
 The clutch should also receive its just amount of care, having it cleaned out and properly adjusted will make gear shifting pleasure instead of hard labor.
 Each car develops any amount of rattles and squeaks. It should be thor oughly greased, all bolts frightened, ill-fitting doors attended to, not for getting windshields, spotlamps and the connection of all accessories It is well to have the springs examined, because broken spring leaf can sup ply as much grief as absolute failure of the motor.
 If all of these things are attended to during the winter, the car will be in excellent condition for long sum- mer drives.

BEST FORD EVER
 WIEN BUILT SAY
 PROUD DRIVERS
Many Changes Remarked in . 'Unchanging Ford With
 Passing of Years

"One Ford is as good as another" says Bill Expert and for a matter of fact sometimes a good deal better.
 "The best Ford ever," say many thousands of owners, is this particular Henriford."
 And there seems to be a general agreement among the owners of plain ordinary cars and the general public, that Ford use to make 'em good Bet ter, in fact than he does right now
 Our own opinion which We shall en- deavor to substantiate is that "the best Fords are those tumbling off the end of the assembly line right now"
 Those who are familiar with the ap- parently "unchanging Ford" know the difficulty in keeping up with the actu- al changes and minor" improvements that are constantly being made in the ord car. The Hanged bronze thrust washer in the transmission is changed to set of steel washers, and the grinding away of thrust washer is stopped. There is a change in the materials of other parts-and the ser vice that these parts give is doubled.
 The Ford Motor Company does not sound a blare of trumpets when changes and improvements are made But, it would be easier to list the un- changed parts, rather than the parts that have been changed, strengthened and improved in the last few years. Glance through 1915 Parts Price List and, if you are familiar enough with the parts, you will see that though the parts may be still inter- changeable and will still fit, yet the parts have nearly all been changed either in design, material, or method of manufacture.
 The so-called "unchanging Ford' is one of the most steadily changing and improving of all cars. The Ford grows" slowly and steadily-like the sturdy oak instead of blossoming out like a girl in a new dress-but still the same girl
 Such parts of the Ford car. as the connecting rods and pistons, have re- gently been frightened and improved, thus giving a smoother running and a faster and more powerful engine. As these are moving" parts, pound reduction in the weight of the pistons is equivalent to a reduction of many pounds of weight in the chassis. And 1t has been our experience that the new and lighter pistons and connec- tlon rods will make Ford engine run
 from 3 to miles an hour faster, and
 will give smoother running at all speeds.
 When one hears of good Ford | it is generally safe to assume that a | good" driver is not far away. One | or the reasons why so many of the older Fords gave such fine service
 was that their owners took an intelli. | gent interest in driving their cars. | They secured greater power and
 speed by careful manipulation of spark and throttle levers-as com
 pared with some owners of new Fords
 who drive their Fords like wheel bar. | rows.
 | Sometimes the experienced driver
 of older Fords is temporarily disap-
 pointed in a new Ford, because he
 compares the tight and stiff new
 Ford with the well-limbered up old
 Ford with whose every whim and pc. l culiarity he was so familiar Also

 Mir J. J. Bowen,
 Bisbee, Arizona.
 Friend Bowen:
 While we differ in politics, you and I certainly agree on one thing, and that is this: we both believe the Stu debaker" is the best car built today for the money.
 I have driven a Studebaker car over 60,000 miles during the past two years; over all kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather without ever once having the slightest bit of trou- ble and always having plenty of speed and power, and being easy on gas and tires
 1 take this opporeunity to thank you for the kind of service given me since driving Stakeholder, and assure you it will be a very great pleasure for me to recommend this car at any time and anywhere.
 Yours very truly, (Signed) J. E. HOOD, Sheriff.

the heavier weight and poorer fuel tend to make the new Fords less spry.
 While most old Fords have been "dolled up'' with new radiators, new bodies and new lenders, so that it is often difficult to realize how old some of the Fords now on the road really are, it is probably true that there is a larger percentage of 5-year and old CT Fords still running on the roads than of cars of any other make in the $2,5O0 and under price class.

Association Urges Rear View Mirrors
 for Safety's Sake

Use of rear view mirrors, espe- cially on motor trucks, is being urged by the American Automobile Association. They help reduce ac- cidents, say officials.
 Fifteen states and the District of Columbia now require mirrors on trucks says M. O. Eldridge, execu- tive chairman of the A. A. A. Ne vada is considering such a law and the movement is spreading to other states.
