The investments proved profitable
so she went ahead and bought
more property. 1t wasn't long be-
fore she had a good many lots on
her hands that weren't bringing in
any income.
So she began building houses on
them. Now her rents bring her a
good income.

CITRUS MOVE
Trees Ten Years Old
Produce as High as
rs Boxes, Record OF
Grower Shows

~Citrus fruit Is one Of the most
profitable crops the Valley can pro.
duee," vas the assertion of DR.. +
A. Rothrock. pioneer citrus grower
OF the Mercedes section, whose vel
kept and highly productive orchard
a mile and a half Southeast Of Mer-
cedes has for years been one of the
Valleys show places.
Ten acres OF the old trees on Or.
Rothrock's farm last year produced
$4,000 worth of fruit, and his net
profit from that acreage was $1,000,
In q few years DR.. Rothrock will
have 81 acres Of producing citrus
fruit trees. In addition to his old
grove, which consists Of 10 and is
year old trees, he has IL acres 2
years old, 20 acres / year old rs
acres planted this fall, and will plant
an additional 10 acres this winter.
The major part Of the acreage is
planted TO Duncan and Foster Pink
grapefruit, which he asserts has
proved the most prolific and profit
able. One 12-acre tract is planted to
Lu Gin Gong oranges, q late but
highly prolific variety. He states
that he has found the early varieties
Of grapefruit the most profitable. Is
the trees produce politically. the
fruit il large, and il goes onto the
market az a time when there il a
heavy demand.
Uses Deep Filling
DR.. Rothrock adopted the deep TILL
ing method early this year and has
~kilifered" his entire acreage, break
ing up the subsoil and permitting the
air and water TO extend to a depth
which would be impossible of attain
ment under any other method.
II have not had time to demon
strate, through production, what the
deep tilling method will accomplish
he said. However, / know that II
is correct In principle. | have noted
after each irrigation that the ground
is moist to a great depth, and that
the spread Of moisture In the sub
soil i much more even than under
the old tillinE methods.
II believe that within a few years
deep tilling will be the accepted
practice among the Valley growers
as 1t is in the California citrus dist
riot. IL requires tractors of greater
power than the old method, but
have found that most of the growers
do not have sufficient power 10 han
die their ordinary implements prop
erly. Most Of the Valley farras are
under powered, and the adoption OF
deep tilling methods would result in
the purchase Of tractors which would
have ample power TO handle all class
es Of farm work properly"
Lost Two Citrus Orchards
DR.. Rothroek came to the Valley
lS years ago, and was among the
pioneers In the citrus industry who
developed the fact that sour orange
root stock is essential to success.
His first grove, which consisted Of
trees budded on rough lemon or tri-
foliate root stock, died soon after
planting. His second grove, brdded on
various root stocks, went the same
way rs the first. Six hundred trees
budded on sour orange were set out,
and practically all are now produc-
ing and range in age from 10 to 10
years.
The production Of some Of these
trees last year reached rs boxes, and
many Of them ran over 10 boxes, a

Prince Barely Escapes
AS Thousands Seek
To Pay Homage

LONDON, Nov. I2.-lF-A crowd
Of eager admirers, who nearly
mobbed him, forced the Prince Of
Wales 70 seek refuge in Scotland
Yard after an Armistice day celebra-
ton az the Cenotaph.
When the prince was inside the
yard the crowd tried TO rush the
gates and the prince had 20 pass
through the yard 10 the Victoria en-
bankment to reach his car.
The prince and Winston Churchill,
chancellor Of the exchequer, attend
ed a service at Cenotaph. A. the
prince turned to leave there was a
wild roar of cheering and shouts Of
wales
The crowd waving their hats and
flags, surged madly toward him.
Police quickly closed around the
prince. A squad of mounted men
fought their way through the
shouting mob They formed a
lane through which the prince
withdrew with difficulty and
reached Scotland Yard. The great
gates OF the yard closed behind him.
The prince noticed his companions
were still outside and asked that the
gates be reopened TO admit them.
The gates swung open. The crowd
surged around him again. The pres
ure Of these struggling thousands
was 50 great that they almost con-
quered the police The demonstra-
tors were wildly singing For He's a
Jolly Good Fellow" The police fin
ally conquered the crowd and shut
the gates.
Many persons tainted during the
demonstration. On the fringes OF
the crowd and inside streets. there
was some rowdyism but all were
cleared away within an hour.

led BIZ the older groves cf California
and Florida. Some fertilizer was
used in the old orchard. and DIT
Rothrock ascertained that IL not
only increased the production but
also improved the sire and quality o.
the fruit.
Only Valley-grown trees are plant
ed in the orchards DR. Rothrcck has
set out In recent years. His first
trees came from Florida and Cali
fornia, there being no Valley nursery
stock available at that time.
II am firmly convinced" he said,
shat Valley-grown trees ARE su-
perior to any we could { n from
other sections. II is hardly reason
able 20 presume that nursery stock
grown in other sections can quickly
adapt itself to Valley conditions,
Ny experience has proved that the
Valley grown trees grow faster after
being set in the orchard and pro-
duce earlier"
Has Many Varieties
In his orchard DR.. Rohtrock has
varieties of citrus fruit,
which was typical Of the paintings Of
those days before any effort was
made to standardize. His ~tangerine
trees, which every year are loaded
with luscious, golden fruit, have
proved very profitable. all fruit being
sold on the local markets. His or
anges, including the Washington
navel, Parson Brown, Valencia. have
also proved profitable. but he ex-
pressed the opinion that the Valley
should not endeavor to comre-
with California in orange produe .s..
The demand for grapefruit II In
.creasing rapidly, and the Valley
should specialize in this" Dr. Roth
rock said. I'VE have repeatedly
demonstrated that the Valley can
produce better grapefruit than either
California or Florida. California
can produce good oranges, but her
grapefruit is Of inferior quality. /
feel assured that the Valley will have
good markets for her grapefruit, and
/ am backing my faith by planting
additional acreage"

Of Sebastian. These levees average
9 feet in height, have a 10 foot
