NEW YORK; heat wave which centered at Chicago and New York and spread over the surrounding ter ritory caused AT deaths. New York stifed intensely Sunday when the thermometer hovered around go all day and reached a peak for the year of 91 at three o'clock in the after noon. Three people collapsed from the heat and died and 14 other deaths were caused by the hot spell. Pros trations were numerous in the city among the millions which taxed the transit facilities to the limit in a rush to the beaches.
 In the West where the tempera- ture ranged from 90 to 100 degrees over a period of nearly a week 30 deaths were attributed to the heat Besides II in the Chicago area there were three in Detroit, five in MilwaI- kee, five in Kansas City, and three down state.
 Heavy rains snapped the hot spell in many parts of the middle West on Sunday, and these storms were slowly moving eastward with the probability that Chicago would get relief within 24 hours. Conditions in the East fla yored thunder but there seems to be a certainty of a big temperature drop

fro mthem. We did not even know

we got them from a shipment we re-
ceived from the Old World, but we
did no. have any information that
identified the variety or where We
could find il. We knew it was a
valuable. rain resistant date.
Getting Valley Test
"Mr. Nixon has located the source
Of these trees. determined the va

that there are thousands of trees
growing there on the banks Of the
Tigres where steamers land and they
can be readily secured and shipped
to this country if we want them. IL
was Mr.. Nixor's scientific knowledge
that enabled him to discover and
identify this variety. He did this
with q microscope. BY the most
minute and detailed knowledge Of
the date and this particular variety,
was Mr.. Nixon able to make this
valuable discovery, so soon after
his arrival in Asia. The fact that
he has secured results 80 promptly,
raises high expectations that he will
be able 20 secure still g~retaer re-
suits before he returns"

1T might not be suited at all. No
one can say in advance. We will
have to actually grow it and observe
its performance. We can say this
for il. that IL Gems to produce a
much better date in our southwest
than IL does in Mesopotamia. What
IL will do in the Valley, we do not
know. l have sent one specimen 10
your experiment station At Weslaco.
l understand that il lived, and in
the course ola few years We will
know more about it. The point is,
that if il should turn out TO be
suitable to your conditions, having
identified ii, and knowing just where
we a get a large stock Of offshoots
III we want them. we will be able TO
forthwith establish in your country

should turn out TO be valuable TO
you. We do know that in some parts
Of the southwest ii is valuable"

already brought results. A work has
been started that may mean q great

tune there was a young Assyrian
student in this country who had been
attending our American colleges.
He was thoroughly acquainted with
the date regions Of Asia and spoke
the Languages Of that region ~fluently,
as we'll as English. He has just re-
turned to the Old World to take up
the study Of the date, on behalf of a
wealthy patron Of his in this country.
On July first, when the recent ap-
preparation became actually avail
able, DR.. Swingle dispatched Roy W.
Nixon. who has recently distinguish
ed himself by demonstrating the eff
feet Of the male pollen on the re-
sulting fruit of a p~ollenized female

in the humid regions of the tribu-
taries Of the upper Tigres and Eu-
pirates. where the rainfall is COM

Mr.. Nixon was there Joined by the
joined Assyrisn student, Rashid Zok,
who is not only a student Of the date
himself, but acts as a reliable inter
prefer az well. Without the assist
ance or Mr.. Zok. II would be neces-

doubtful reliability. The present ar
~rangement is ideal and promises TO
bring results that otherwise could
not be hoped for.

Us information that Is alone worth
the entire cost OF the expedition, DR..
Swingle continued. ar Mr.. Nixon
were to return at once, the results of
this trip have fully justified the
EXPENSE
"You see these dates he said.
"These are identical with the fruit
Of a variety which we have in this
country that is known TO be excep-
~tionslly rain resistant. But W. do
not have but a dozen trees. more or
less. in all this country. Not enough
to make any start on a commercial
basis. II would require a genera

from the stock we have here TO be-
gin an actual commercial industry
