poultrymen OF this valley have not
found way to get the most out of
the poultry droppings. This is VAL
liable product that is worth more at
tention than at least the majority of
poultry keepers are giving 1t. OF
course our soil Is wonderfully fer
tile and does not require. commercial
fertilizers as yet and possibly never
will 1t is low in organic matter
though, what we generally term
humus. Citrus growers buy stable
manure, and doubtless would be only
too glad to buy droppings and litter
from the poultry farms If it were
available. Probably there is not as
much waste of this material as there
was at one time. No doubt there Is
very little that is hauled off and
dumped, but still 1t Is quite probable
that it is not used to the best ad-
vantage in great many cases.
The amount of droppings from 100
hens for a year Is estimated to be
] u TO tons q year. This fertilizer
Is rich in nitrogen, the one element
that is lacking in our soils, particu-
larly where alfalfa has not been
grown for q number of years. Our
soils are naturally deficient in nit
rogen although rich in PHOSPHORUS
and potash, also lime. The drop-
pings from the chicken yards there-
fore Is particularly valuable as ii
furnishes the lacking nitrogen In
abundance, and IL mixed with litter
will add too, the needed humus. Some
estimates. Of the value of poultry
droppings based on eastern values
and lower prices OF fertilizing con-
stiuents than prevails at the pres.
ent time. were $40 to $12 ton. I'M
doubtedly this is worth more to any
poultryman farmer who Is in a po-
sition TO make use OF 1t and does use
it without waste or loss. Even this
low valuation would add Is to Is
cents profit for each fowl, Not sc
much still q sum that represents
five to ten percent OF the cost Of
feeding. on large flock 1t becomes
a considerable item which is well
worth reckoning.

Record Prosperous Season
In Sight For This Valley

Prospects for the most prosperous season In the
history of the citrus industry in the Salt River valley
are sight for the growers of oranges and grapefruit
in this valley during the coming
Early shipments of Arizona oranges next fall will
command unprecedented prices, valley citrus fruit
men say due to the unfavorable conditions in Cali
fornia the cleaning up of the market and the
quent heavy demand.
Weather conditions in California during the past
were very severe working serious injury to
the crop of Valencia oranges and lowering the
possible shipments by at least 40 per cent fruit
perts say AS result of this great decrease produc
tion last the Arizona crop should find market
bare of oranges and consequently high prices will be
offered for the local fruit
With these conditions favorable to valley grow
ers is urged by fruit experts that they take full ad
vantage of them and do everything possible to raise
this production to the highest possible point.
Growers urged take the best of care of their
fruit according to officials of the Arizona Citrus
Growers association. The growers are advised to
make every effort to obtain bumper crop and are
admonshed to nourish their groves with careful rri
CATION and cultivation 1t will also be great help for
increased production if the ground is protected from
excessive heat radiation during the months of May
and June.
The fertilizing of the groves has been given the
attention it deserves by the majority of growers in the
valley this year for the first te it is stated great
deal of animal fertilizer has been utilized and expert
ments with chemical fertilizer are being made.
Th proper cover cropping is also being generally
practiced. The planting of leguminous crops such
alfalfa and clover has been found advantageous both
from the standpoint of restoring the soil and the
profits which accrue from hay making.

COST OF STARTING
4 CITRUS GROVE

The cost Of starting a citrus grove
has been investigated by the Phoenix
chamber of commerce and the fol-
lowing report made for the benefit
of farmers contemplating going into
the industry:
Land suited to orange growing
will cost $4,000 to S50000 per acre
and the cost of putting out grove
will run as follows.
Trees, according to the number
planted about $4,000 per acre. Plow-
ing the land and preparation plant
ing trees and tree guards, $500 per
acre. General expense will run about
$500 a month for ten acres. A ten
acre grove win cost altogether:
First year: Land, 10 acres at $3.50,
s3,5OO.00; trees 100000; planting,
$4,000; general expense. 100000;
total, $6.150.00. Second year, $4,000;
third year, 100000. Making a total
expense of $3.50.
In the third and fourth years the
returns should begin to come in,
small at first. but increasing every
year until at or 10 years 300 or
more boxes can be counted on.

arizona ORANGES
WIDELY KNOWN FOR
THEIR FINE FLAVOR
BY Paul Baxter HeTviIIe

Arizona oranges have been known
for more than 20 years for their ex-
ceptional flavor. That is to say, not
locally. but in the wholesale market.
This seems very remarkable in view
OF the very small output of Arizona
citrus that reaches the wholesale
market. California ships a thousand
cars to our one. Yet everybody, east
and west. seems to be familiar with
our exceptional product. In the past
10 years the planting of grape fruit
or more properly. pomelos. has been
about six times as great in acreage
as oranges. The popular impression
is that the naval orange in Arizona
is a light bearer. believe this is
partly true. but only in as much as
there has not been much attention
paid to the scientific culture of this
wonderful fruit.
The Marsh seedless, the grapefruit
favored by the trade above all others,
is a thrifty grower and a heavy
bearer in the Salt River valley There
are some splendid groves of this va
riety. both in Phoenix and the Mesa
districts. After these trees are three
years old it takes a very heavy frost
to affect them appreciably. Such a
cold snap has not been seen in the
valley since 1913. The last freeze that
caught California so severely. in 1921,
did not reach this valley at all.
There Is no valid reason for an
Arizona citrus grower getting less
than IS. so net per box for his
Washington navel oranges. The
trade is familiar with the flavor, and
is willing to pay the price. when the
grower puts his fruit in the market
at the right time. We cannot add
sugar to our oranges by sweating
them to obtain color. This has been
done at times. Nor can we "buck"
the California fruit with ours, by
holding our fruit too long. There is
always q happy medium which, if
followed, will invariably bring to our
growers, good and profitable returns.
This time is after our fruit is ripe,
and yet before the California fruit
is sweet enough to be put on the
market.

.BuRsANk's BETTER GARDEN Tips

to keep your paths as straight as
possible and plant In rows from IL
TO IS inches apart. 1t is well to plan
the garden paths in advance, always
remembering that you must reach all
parts of it without tramping upon
the plants.
HOW TO RAISE ASPARAGUS
shall deal separately with as
paragus because here is a plant that
is. all too frequently. left off the lists
OF plants for the back yard garden.
Now there are few if any more
delicious vegetables than this, and
yet people who buy it on the market
seldom get the best-also they pay a
good price for it. Once successfully
started, asparagus. continues to pro-
duce for many years to come, and
can be depended upon for daily
supply for two months or more each
season.
Anyone with a square rcd of
ground space, almost any place be-
meath the sun, ean grow asparagus.
But these points should be kept in
mind:
Thoroughly fertilize the allotted
space. Spade deeply and fertilize
again. Continue to spade until the
soil becomes rich. deep and fine.

in this region. After looking the
valley over, he bought a bearing
orange grove Of 10 acres which he
still owns.
Il have found the growing of citrus
fruits a very pleasant business and
profitable Mr.. Avery declares. His
grove contains nearly all the known
varieties of oranges, condition
which prevails in most of the early
paintings in this valley. Fortunately
q large part of his fruit ripens early
and usually the early fruit brings
top prices and has two weeks sad-
vantage over the Southern California
crop in acquiring the necessary sugar
content.
Mr.. Avery usually sows cowpeas In
the spring for summer cover crop,
plowing it under in September and
leaving the ground clean throughout
the winter months so that the full
quota of heat from the suns rays
may be stored UP to offset possible
cold nights. He also uses a. liberal
supply of fertilizer from the stock
yards to enrich the soil.
"The distribution of the citrus in
dustry over such widely separated
localities in the Salt River valley
would indicate to the most casual
observer that there is a large acre
age where frost conditions would
permit the successful growing of cit
rus fruits" says Mr.. Avery in speak,
ing of the possibilities OF extending
the industry here.
Although there is now . scarcity
of nursery stock for new planting,
it is Mr.. Avery's opinion that there
will be large number of trees avail
able for 1923 and he predicts a very
rapid expansion of the citrus indus
try in the near future.

Local producers have come to learn
that the best eggs are those that are
produced from hens fed a balanced
ration and with just enough, but not
too much, green feed.
Those who have familiarized them
selves with Chinese conditions, say
that eggs in that country are pro-
duced under the most unsanitary con-
ditions imaginable. Hens consume
unspeakable filth, and under the best
of feeding conditions in that country,
food elements are lacking to produce
high-class eggs. Under Chinese man
agement, it was utterly impossible to
ship Chinese eggs. produced as they
are, into this country. 1t was only
with the help of American capital
and American trained men that this
has been accomplished With the low
costs of production, these capitalists
are able to ship in eggs and under
sell American producers, even with a
loss of so per cent.
The remedy that seems TO appeal
most to American producers who are
beginning to realize the menace of
Chinese eggs is tariff which viii be
prohibitiye. Whether such tariff
will be had or not is another matter,
but it is certainly worth the while of
anyone producing eggs to ask. both
our u. S. senators and Congressman
Hayden to do all in their power to
help in this way As a matter Of
fact, 1t Is probable that all western
senators and congressman are well
aware OF the vital Importance of at
tempting to regulate this evil by q
| tariff.
If the Chinese eggs were the equal
OF American eggs. there would be nc
denying the fact that 1t would be e
| the interest OF several million Aneri-
can families that cheaper eggs be fur
nished, but so long as we have in
disputable evidence that these eggs
are not the equal in food value and
are produced under sanitary condi-
tions which are revolving to the
American people, we are certain J
| justified in doing all that is humanity
possible to insist that these eggs be
ken IF home in their own country.

system is urged as the best having
advantages over every other system.
Grapefruit trees are planted "a feet

Oranges come into commercial
bearing in about four or five years
and grapefruit about a yea earlier.
The average cost of caring. for an
orange grove will be about S75 per
acre annually. This, of course, can
be decreased by nter-eropping
where this method seems advisable.
The ambitious grower, however,
would rather add to his soil. build

MARKET AFFECTED
BY CHINESE EGGS

During the month or February Of
this year there was imported into this
country 2S9,3 dozen eggs, of this
number 229,019 dozen were from
China or Chinese territory. In addi-
tion 238,516 pounds of dried or frozen
eggs were imported from China, and
S25,325 pounds of egg albumen. This
shows the extent to which American
poultry keepers are menaced with
eggs from the Orient.
Chinese eggs have been imported
for number of years, but up until
a comparatively short time ago such
eggs were shipped as dried, frozen or
canned eggs. They were used by
bakers almost exclusively. or, in other
words. there was little trade except
with bakeries. Within the past two
years American business firms have
established shipping houses in China
and have employed high class Ameri
can experts, educated in our Ameri-
can colleges, to handle the eggs from
Chinese hens In such a way that ship
ping is now successfully managed and
these eggs are being sold in competi-
ton with the eggs from American
hens.
To the Salt River valley producer
this matter of Chinese eggs is of pos
sibiy more importance than 1t is to
the producer in the middle west, for
the reason that the eggs from the
Orient will largely be landed on the
Pacific coast, and our markets are
and inevitably must be to large ex-
tent controlled by the markets Of Cali
ifornia and the northwest,
There are as yet too many people
who are consumers of eggs to whom
an egg is an egg so long as 1t is not
absolutely spoiled. To such consum-
ers II is difficult to explain that there
is within the shells OF eggs differ
ence that may easily make one egg
worth twice as much as the other.

MODERN method OF
CITRUS CULTURE IS
PLAN OF F. ". AVERY

A typical example of the best class
of citrus culture in the Salt River
valley is the grove of f. w. Avery,
president of the Arizona Citrus
Growers company. During the past
five years this grove has netted the
owner an average profit of more than
$500 an acre and has conclusively
demonstrated the value of careful
cultivation.
Mrs Avery's grove has been ope-
rated on strictly UP to date methods
and is an example of what may be
expected from the citrus industry in
this district. Any grower has an
equal chance Of making similar high
profits by devoting his attention TO
the every need of the citrus tree
which is sure to respond to scientific
treatment.
Mr.. Avery came to the Salt River
10 years ago and like most newcom-
ers was at once attracted to the cit
rus industry which flourishes so well

Citrus fruit growing is one of the
few profitable means of developing
lands where the irrigation water
must be gotten by pumping. The
expense of pumping water is so
great that it is necessary to grow
crops which bring q heavy return
on q small area The large profits
per acre derived from growing or
anges make that industry ideal for
the purposes of utilizing the high
lands where water cannot be taken
from the river in canals.
The development of the citrus in
dustry in the valley is now limited
by a lack of local nursery stock,
which, in conjunction with the rigid
embargo on the importing of young
trees hinders to a great extent the
legitimate expansion.
The operating of nurseries to sup
ply the demand for young citrus
trees at this time offers large profits
for experienced nurserymen who
have thorough knowledge Of bud
selecting.
Urge Rigid Inspection
If the local citrus growers cannot
get high grade trees from local
nurseryman, despite the slight risk
of bringing in pests. it will be better
to allow the very best class OF
nursery stock to come in under most
rigid inspection, according 10 l. de
r. Miller, of the citrus growers
association
1t is his belief that the legitimate
expansion of the valleys citrus in
dustry should not be allowed to lapse
on account of a lack of young trees.
The navel variety is still the stan
dard Arizona orange and represents
75 per cent of the production in the
Salt River valley Aside from its
high standing on the market. the
chief advantage of this type of fruit
is that in most instances the entire
crop is packed and sold before there
is the slightest danger from frost.
Other. experiences in the past few
years have made growers look with
flavor on the Valencia orange, which
produces heavily. Still other grow
ers are handling several varieties of
sweet seedlings which grow we'll in
this climate and bear about as early
as the navels only in much larger
volume. In the production OF seed
lngs the great size of the crop makes
up for the lower prices this variety
commands.

THE BEST
EGGSA|ID THEN TELL
THE WORLD ABOUT II

Most of us know something of the
discoveries of DR.. McCollunl, and We
at least have some knowledge of the
food element which is called vita
mines. We know now why it is not
limited to the chemical analysis
We know that a food may contain
protein and carbohydrates and fat
in the proper ratio to make ball
anced food and If it does not have
those properties which DR.. MeCollum
has called vitamines, it win not SUI
stain life for an indefinite period
The good doctor has proved too,
that meat and to much larger ex-
tent milk and eggs from cows and
chickens that have not the proper
foods does not contain the vitamines
which are essential.
The eggs from China are not only
unclean according to our standards
but are lacking in that necessary and
valuable element vitamines. A
tariff is highly desirable and should
by all means be had, but in addition
to that the poultrymen of the coun-
try and particularly the poultrymen
of the Pacific Coast should organize
for the purpose of advertising,

told of the merits of. American eggs,
l1tClE NdtuC dS AtVo PtOAoAN eAAN
their superiority over the eggs from
other countries, particularly China,
which is by all odds the greatest
competitor which this country has.
This is just one more argument
for an association of egg producers
that viii promote their own interests
by producing the best eggs that can
be produced, and then telling the
world about it. AS individuals each
producer must guarantee his product
and in turn the association guaran-
tees the consuming public, and the
public is willing to pay for what 1t
gets provided that 1t gets what 1t
wants. and it is certainty that the
public does not want the Chinese
eggs.
