AUTUMN in LOUISIANA

1t is Autumn in Louisiana,
And the days are bright and fair.
There is softness in the sunlight
And there's ozone in the air;
The nights are cool and crisp and sweet
And jeweed rare with stars
That flash million mysteries
From Venus and from Mars.
Ii is Autumn in Louisiana
Where the woods are full o trees
Where the towns full O people
And the beegums full o bees;
Where the girls are sweet as honey
And the boys can't learn to walk;
Where men don't care for money
And the women never talk.
1t is Autumn in Louisiana
And the Heavens are bright and blue
With the bluest kind o blue sky
That fellow ever knew;
The hills are tipped with silver
And the dales tipped with gold
And there's magic in the moonlight
With pretty hand to hold
1t isAutumn in Louisiana
And her cotton fields are white
The earth is full in day time
And the moon is full at night
The in. the pasture
The hogs are in the pen;
And vixen lack Frost shows}hs teeth
Vel take porker in.
J. IS Autumn in Louisiana
md the SUGARS in the cane,
TIL, fire is in the sumac
hnl tbo reel IS il tsg grain;
TH~ aill is grinding slowly
Nrd Fhe Juice is dripping down,
The 'lesses vat is bilin'
And the flap jacks getting brown.
1t is Autumn in louisiana
And therein not a single soul
But what's living easy
On turnip greens and fowls;
And that's not all the glory
In this land of milk and wine,
The 'cimmon trees are loaded
And the 'possums just fine.

matte and soil conditions were ia
vorable to this fruit. The excellent
quality and the large quantity of the
fruit produced in the valley confirm
ed the belief that the valley was
suited to the growing OF grapefruit.
Since then the acreage has increased
slowly until at present the two thou
sand acres now in citrus fruit is
about one-half grapefruit.
For a time the problem of market
ing the grapefruit after producing ii
was one which defied solution. The
great and rapid increase in the crop
as new orchards each year came into
bearing made its disposal the press
ing citrus question and forced the
grower and his packing organization
to do some hard thinking. The prob
lem was put up to the Mutual Orange
Distributors and by patience and per-
sistent work, an excellent market
was made for the fruit which last
year demanded far more grapefruit
than was produced.
Growers Organize
Packing the local crop is done by
an organization of growers, the Ari-
zona Citrus Growers company. After
many vicissitudes in placing the Ari-
zona oranges throughout the country
through their own marketing asso-
citation. the Arizona Orange associa-
tion, this company was dissolved and
the present one was formed with
sufficient funds to equip an excellent
packing plant. The necessity is to get
the crop away to market with the
utmost speed. as the time when the
local fruit has the whole market to

itself is limited by the appearance Of
the Tulare county, California, fruit.
Each year, however, has brought bet
ter results in rapidity of pack, while
the selling Of the fruit through the
Mutual Orange Distributors, rather
than to seek their own customers. has
brought far better and quicker fl
nancial returns from the production.
Arizona is fortunate in having but
few citrus pests. About the only in
sect in evidence is the thrips, which
in dry years causes a noticeable
marking of the fruit. Last year a
representative acreage in the valley
was sprayed for the control of this
insect, but there was little oppor-
tunity for comparison for not even
the unsprayed groves were bothered
by the pest to any extent.
Pruning of trees in the vallev is
not a stabilized requirement. The
method to be used is uncertain, each
grower having his own particular
ideas on the subject. The general
thought is to leave the tree with
heavy enough foliage to protect it
and the fruit as much as possible
from the severe sun during the sum-
mer.
While the acreage is small, Ari-
zona's citrus industry is widely
known, especially because of the re-
markable quality of its fruit The
industry is now centered in the Salt
River valley, with a remarkable ex-
pansion promised both in this val
ley and in the Yuma valley.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01
No District In the World Is More
Favorable For Growing Of Citrus
Fruit Than The Salt RiUcr Valley

which engaged the pioneer citrus
fruit grower was to secure sufficient
water. Long droughts succeeded In
the washing out of the early brush
dams made the industry a hazardous
one and there was a time when the
trees were preserved only by their
owner patrolling the water courses
with q gun till he saw that the
precious moisture reached his trees
Most of the early orchards survived
however, and with the completion OF
the Roosevelt dam, bringing assur-
ance that water would be available
always, the industry took new lease
on life and the acreage in the val
ley was doubled.
The new groves had hardly been
planted with the prospects of a large
yield in sight, when the destructive
freeze of 1912-1913 struck Southern
Arizona and placed a second damper
on the recently revived spirit OF the
grower. The young trees suffered,
especially in appearance, and 1t was
not until the groves, apparently dam
aged. began to produce excellent
crops that the would-be citrus grow
er gathered his courage anew and
again considered planting.
His intention was delayed by the
fabulous returns secured during some
years before the growing of cotton,
but when the lowering of prices on
that commodity once more made IT
possible to farm fair Judgment OF
values and accomplishment, 1t was
noted that even during the era of
high prices the citrus grower had
not affected his investments or in
come in the least.
Expect Big Acreage
The planting during the past spring
was limited only by the nursery
stock available and there is every ex-
pectation of a very large acreage
and lemons in 1922. Not a tenth
of the land in the Salt River valley
has been planted that is adaptable
to the growing of citrus fruits.
The staple Of the industry in the
valley is the Arizona navel orange.
It's market is unlimited during the
early winter for it is the first navel
orange to ripen, preceding those that
are grown in Northern California by
several weeks. The demand for this
variety of orange during this inter-
val is country wide. Many times the
quantity produced in Arizona could
be disposed of were they available,
and the Arizona navel grower has
had every reason to be satisfied with
the returns from his fruit, as the
prices have yielded net return of
from to cents a pound to the
grower.
Other varieties OF oranges have
done equally well in the valley, but
the amount Of seedlings and valencias
is hardly large enough to supply
more than the state market. The
early ripening of these fruits also is
remarkable, especially some of the
locally propagated seedlings which
even precede the navels in ripening
