VALLEY farmers have found that they can
v raise COWS, hogs and poultry profitably along
with their grapefruit and vegetable crops. They
find that it pays big dividends because they can
be fed products of the farm which are not sale
able. Hogs and chickens particularly come in
this class. 1t costs little to raise either or both
on Valley farms. At the upper left is shown a
fine herd of dairy cows, at the upper right, a big

White Leghorns, the predominating stock.

times moves out in volume from

Among the other odd vegetables
raised in this section are anise,
Jerusalem artichoke, rozelle. etc.
Some of those familiar TO the sight
at the dinner table but which are
not often recognized growing are
celery, asparagus etc.
Is Butter Substitute
The Valley also has a number Of
exotic fruits, the most familiar and
most sought after being the avocado
or aguacate, known commonly as
the alligator pear. The number Of
trees IN the Valley is on the in
crease. They r planted about 10
to the acre but require extra good
care the first two years. Valley
grown avocados are said TO be
especially rich in fat content. Their
fat content is from Is TO IS per
cent greater than that Of avocados
grown In California and Florida.
They frequently are used in Mexico
in the place of butter and have a
great deal OF food value. They also
taste well with French dressing and
onions OF made into a paste with a
little French dressing. finely cut
onions. tomato juice and shredded
lettuce.
Papayas are used more for
ornament than for food but they
have a high food value. They grow
extremely fast, a crop maturing on
trees sometimes less than a year
old. They have a high pepsin CON
tent and the Mexicans and Indians
eat them after heavy meals for this
reason. Papaya included regularly
in the diet is said to cure the worst
cases of indigestion. They can be
eaten with French dressing. with
lime or lemon juice or mixed with
other fruits such as pineapple, in
salads.
Lemons Are Enormous
The Valleys lemons are large IN
size and yield a tremendous amount
Of juice. The large varieties are
known as p~onderosas and have a
rough. thick skin. They are similar
to the fruit or ported lemon trees
frequently found over the country.
Kumquats belong to the citrus
family. The small. oblong. orange
colored fruit Is fine for prescribing
or for ornament. Similar to them
are calamOndins which are round
and used for ornamental purposes.
The t~angerine is known as the
kid glove orange" because the skin
comes off so easily. The cross
between the tangerine and the
grapefruit Is known as the tangelo.
Another new fruit is the lime
quat. a cross between the lime and
kumqust. 1t is not quite as acid as
the lime and is a beautiful fruit.
Another New Fruit
The loquat, cross between a plum
and apricot. IS in the experimental
stage. not being grown on a COM
mercial scale as yet.
Dates have been grown success
fully in the Valley and new varieties
now are being tried out. Dates
grow on palm trees and bear quite
heavily. Returns from dates are
said 10 be quite large.
Banana trees are more or less
familiar but ones that bear are not.
Banana trees in the Valley bear
prolifically. The Valley grows a
type OF small banana sometimes
known as lady fingers which are
OF delicious flavor. Red bananas
also r to be found although most
OF them are grown in Mexico. The
red bananas are shorter than the
yellow ones and somewhat firmer
even when ripe.

diary of the Jones and Laughlin
Steel Co.-near Pittsburgh. Here,
some 5000 miners, already speeded
up to the limit, are, according to
reports from company sources,
facing either a sweeping wage-cut,
in line with the general policy of
the coal and steel companies, or a
complete shutdown of these big
mines.
Cut Copper Mine Wages.
In the copper mining districts of
Michigan the Calumet and Hecla
Co. has announced a 10 per cent
wage-cut, effective July /. The
Quincy Mine in Hancock has already
cut wages 10 per cent. There Is
no question but that the steel trust
iron mines in Northern Minnesota
will follow suit.
n. NJ. L. Speaks.
A leaflet issued to the metal
miners of these two districts by the
National Miners Union says, in
part:
"This wage-cut is not the concern
of the copper miners alone. 1t eff
fects all miners in Northern Mime
sofa and Michigan. 1t is part of the
general attack of the copper and
steel trusts upon the metal miners.
1t marks the definite beginning of
wage-slashing campaign that will
affect every copper and iron mine.
All metal miners, all copper
and iron miners, must unite to resist
the wage-cut and prepare for strug-
gle. We are all shaving under
the most brutal speed-up system
ever experienced. The most ele-
mentary safety rules are ignored in
the mines. Even such regulations
as that calling for Is cubic feet of
air per man is violated. The, faint
ing of miners is daily occurrence
and serious and fatal accidents
steadily increase as a result of the
speedup. We are supposed to
work eight hours a day, but we
actually slave nine and ten hours
and many are forced to work over
time and Sunday without extra pay"
800 Troops to Helena.
In the Butte section, the largest
metal mining district in the world,
there has been mass unemployment
for months. 1t is now announced
that one-third of the miners still
working will be laid off July /.
Nine hundred state militiamen have
been brought into Helena, 72 miles
from Butte, ostensibly to break a
strike of metal workers and team
sters, but also undoubtedly because
the Anaconda Mining Co. fears that
sharp struggles will follow further
wage-cuts and mass lay-offs.
1t is in the midst of these strug-
giles, which are the preliminary
skirmishes of far larger battles,
that the preparations for the Sec
ond National Convention of the Ma
tional Miners Union July 26 in
Pittsburgh are being carried on.
One hundred thousand convention
calls are being distributed.
