Date Palm Beauty
No palm that succeeds in the
Valley equals the date palm in
beauty and grace. The Canary is
land or so-called ornamental" or
false date" is beautiful of foliage,
but ungraceful of trunk, that part
being swollen and g%rotesque; and it
should be planted only where it can
be allowed to assume its natural
low, sprawling growth; but never
along highway, roads, drives, or
chardS or in restricted or valuable
small grounds.
Marketing the Date
The truly splendid dehydrated
dates we are now getting from the
date groves of California and Ari-
IONA, show question that there is no
limit as to market for such q prod
uct so delicious could go out yearly
by parcel post, express, ETC., direct
ly to consumers.
Reducing the cost to the consum-
er from the extravagant prices Of
rs cents to ST. per pound, which
these California dates now cots, will
increase their consumption a thou
sand fold, they are SO delicious, and
SO wholesome and nourishing.
The transformation in beauty
that will come from the planting Of
date palms throughout the Valley
can be easily forseen and the fame
of it also; for the date palm is what
is always meant, in classic or ORR
entail literature when the palm is
mentioned; and its beauty SO far
surpasses that of any of the fan
palms or the SO-called "ornamen-
tai" date, that it Gems incredible
that either of these would be sub
stltuted or used, where the true date
does SO well.
I am always glad to assist at date
po%llenizing time, by consultation,
advice or other means, in causing
as many as possible of the date
palms now in the Valley to be pol
lenized and SO produce their splen-
did fruit; and this particularly, that
more date palms shall be planted
until their beautiful presence shall
turn this fair land into a truly trop-
ical landscape as well as produce
their splendid fruit and protect our
citrus groves.
No tree Of any sort will grow and
give its wonderful beauty and de-
licious fruit or lands SO salty, wa
~ter-logged or 'seeped," as date
palms. Most surprising and con-
vlncing proofs of this statement
are in my possession and available
to all who want to help bring this
Valley to 'itS own"
Date trees making good on soil
that is 40 per cent pure salt, and
on land with seepage water-table 8
inches from the surface; but of
course, they do their best there.

crue to the Valley, and all semi
tropic Texas, from the remarkable
protective value Of the date palm
tree, 70 the fully 100000 acres Of
citrus fruit trees now planted.
And, added still to this, the sur
passing charm and tropical beauty
of such vast numbers of this fin
est Of all the palms that will succeed
here, is impossible to Over-StreSS.
Polarization Notes
The Pistillate date trees are cas-
lily distinguished; and, as these are
the only ones producing, I will de-
scribe the flowers of the pistillate
tree, so that no one need mistake
them from the staminate (male)
trees. that produce no fruit, but
are necessary for their pollen, with
out which, artificially applied, there
will be only abortive, worthless fruit.
I have contributed this data every
year, together with instructions how
to pollenize the date, for 25 years,
to the South Texas press, without
charge or hope Of reward except the
desire to do a full share in bringing
the inevitable and wonderful devel-
opment I knew would come to this
semi-tropic southland that I saw
clearly would inevitably finally sur
pass either Southern California or
Florida in magnitude and value of
its semi-tropic fruit industries.
But such vast numbers of new
home-makers and developers are
coming each month, that I am de-
luged with resquests for detailed
data impossible to furnish personal
ly except by appointment and con-
ISOLATION.

Keeping children well is easy
when mother can read the early
symptoms Of childhood's ills.
If little mes are ..etful, pale,
languid, won't eat and want to be
mothered; when they often get
colds and sore throat and seem
feverish, depend upon it the bowels
are sluggish. You notice unpleasant
breath when you kiss them-sure
sign of constipation and a sour
stomach.
Give a little alifornia Fig Syrup
to purify the system and see how
quickly it restores strength, appe-
tite and joyous spirits. 1t acts
without pain and gently cleanses
the bowels Of constipated waste
which causes feverishness, sours the
digestion and keeps the little one
sickly and backward.
If you suspect measles or some
other children's disease, give a dose
of California Fig Syrup without
delay. The doctor will praise your
forethought. California Fig Syrup
is the finest laxative in the world
for children. 1t suits them per-
fectly and they love it's delicious
taste. For a child who is habitual-
~ constipated there is no other
remedy to equal California Fig Sy-
rup for coaxing the bowels back to
healthy regularity. If you have a
child who is troublesome in this
way try California Fig Syrup. Get
a bottle today. All drug stores
have it.
California Fig Syrup has been
trusted by the worlds mothers for
over 80 years. That is why the
word California" should be en-
phasized when buying.

Grated dates sent out by express,

For Is years, I have not failed one
year to pollenize date palm trees in
South Texas. First at Rio Grande
City, then at Brownsville and Lar

section of Semi-tropic Texas. From
E28se Pass to Beaumont, and from
san Antonio to Brownsville, and

The date industry, for all Of this
vast semi-tropic region is now alb

Tens of thousands of these date

And it will not be long now until
a million dollars yearly will come

of the world, direct to the consumer.
Fresh ripe dates will keep and

for eating. And when d~ehydrated,

value.

Jones Equals
Links Record
on First Trip
Champ Plays With Ease:
Low Scores Predicted in
Amateur Meet.
United Press

bU NifC0 PfCSS
DEL MONTE, Cal, Aug. 81. -
From the playing that Bobby Jones,
defending amateur champion, did
around the Pebble Beach course
Monday, observers were confident
today that the national amateur
links tournament starting Sept 2
will produce some startling golf.
The Georgian went around soon
after his arrival, with George
Won Elm, Charles Black Jr. of At
lanta and Howard Hughes of Los
Angeles. Jones equalled the course
record, although he did not seem
to go about it seriously.
Jones missed par by one stroke
for medal score of 10, and sank
every putt he tried except one. Par
on the course has never been
equalled.
Gets Hard Eagle
Jones most startling performance
was an eagle on the 555-yard four
tenth hole. The champion was on
it in two and dropped an eight
foot putt for a three.
This feat, coupled with Bobby's
general air of ease on the course
that has been supposed to be so
hard, convinced the gallery that the
champion will break the course rec
ord by cutting off around five
strokes from his score.
Tolley Thrills Gallery
Cyril Tolley, British amateur
champion, also had a practice round
and gave the gallery a thrill a few
moments before Jones on the same
fourteenth hole Tolley also was on
in two strokes but used two puts
for a birdie four.
No one has ever been on the four
teenth before in two strokes except
with a strong following wind and
the double feat brings just cause for
the belief the championship will
create keen competition and low
scores.
