SON OF NOTED AUTHOR
GROWING FIGS IN CLARK

The following interesting article
concerning one of our citizens and
the industry which he is developing
was taken from the Reno Gazette
TONOPAH, Dec. 29.-Fred Mac
farlane, son of Peter Clark Macfar-
lane, the novelist, is growing figs in
Clark county with arrangements on
an extensive scase for establishing
the industry on a permanent basis.
Macfarlane has bought two hundred
acres of rich old river channel land
within six miles of Las Vegas and
three miles from Wann Siding on
the Union Pacific. After studying
the business in Fresno county Mr..
Macfarlane is of the opinion that the
Las Vegas valley is more suitable for
several reasons. One of these is the
comparatively mild winters and the
rich silt soil which brings young
trees to maturity in six years instead
OF waiting ten years longer as in the
case of the San Joaquin valley. II
Ia also pointed out that three days
closer to the consumer will place the
fruit on the market in much better
shape.

PLANTING TIME HAS ARRIVED

This is the accepted time-the
time to get ready to plant trees. Inis
is the time to study the catalog and
get your order off to the nursery
man, so that your trees and shrubs
will be here by the first of Febru-
ary, which is the time to get them
in the ground here in southern Ne
vada. The holes should be gotten
ready not only for ornamental trees
but also for the fruit trees which
should be a part of every well or
dered back yard. 1t is surprising
how much fruit can be grown in an
ordinary back yard and how mucn
improved the flavor of it is. Enough
can be grown on the rear of your
lot to supply your table during the
summer months and also to fill your
fruit jars for winter use. The rear
and side fences can be covered with
berry bushes which do wonderfully
well in this climate. One Elberta
peach tree down on Fremont street
not only supplied peaches for It's
owner and his neighbors but brought
in over twenty-five dollars in the
coin of the realm.
Just go out into your back yard
and look it over See what the pos
sibilities are for a family orchard.
Isn't there room for just few trees
"a peach, an apricot, a fig, sat
suma plum, a pear and perhaps a
later peach which you can use for
canning. The satsuma plum is fine
thing to have as it makes wonderful
jelly and every housewife likes to
have spreading sass" especially II
there are children in the family.
