FARM ADVISORS
BACK FROM TRIP
TO BARD, YUMA
Much Valuable D. a t a
Regarding Dates
Gathered

Farm Advisor E. L. Garthwaite,
who with Assistant Advisor Ray
Ellis has Just returned from an in
spection visit to the experiment
stations at Yuma and Bard, re-
ports that much of interest is being
done at these points in connection
with experimental fertilization
plots, and roofing of date offshoots.
According to Mr.. Garthwaite's IS
statements the roofing of date off
shoots, which has always presented
considerable problem to the in
dustry is now being solved by fast
ening box onto the trunk of the
tree immediately below the off
shoot. The roots are then allowed
to form in the box, which has been
filled with earth, while the shoot is
still growing on, and therefore re-
ceiving nourishment from the parent
tree.
Used in Coachella
This method of roofing has been
found by experiments conducted by
the University of Arizona to be
most successful, and has already
been largely adopted in the Coach
ella valley. Mr.. Gartwaite believes
that it will be introduced into this
valley and found highly satisfac-
tory.
The advisors also inspected veg
etable plots where various types of
fertilizer such as cover crops and
barnyard manure We're being used
successfully, and also examined or
chards of citrus and deciduous fruits
where intensive fertilizer of the
light mesa soil was being practiced.
Many agricultural problems in
this district are similar to ours, T"
said Mr.. Garthwaite "and l expect
to keep in touch with the work be-
ing done at Bard and Yuma, as l
believe much of value to Imperial
Valley farmers can be gained from
these experiments. -
