Tunisia Supplies Dates

Native sharecroppers in Tunisia cul-
tivate and harvest dates. Most of tho
crop is the hard, dry date that keeps
well in desert heat and is staple food
in North Africa. The other extreme is
soft, syrupy sweet date that must be
eaten almost at once. Between is the
degla date, firm and fine Favored, the
one Tunisian variety normally ex-
ported in quantity to Europe and
America. Four-fifths of the date palms
imported to America and now pro-
ducing in the dry Imperial and Coach
ella valleys of California are of the
degla variety.

Cody dismounted in front of the

rail and moved softly and silently
as others were moving, seeking some
sign of Cal Roundtree. He was con-
scious of eyes following him and
knew that he drew interest here at
this hour because he was a stran-
ger; because these men, steadily
gathering in numbers, were distrust-
full of strangers.
Cal Roundtree was turning into a
saloon, two friends thanking him,
when he saw Cody; he said word
to his companions who went on into
the Spread Eagle, and turned back
to Cody.

Can Olive Crop

Most of Americas olive crop in
pre-war years went to canned ripe
olives. Cooperative plants carefully
regulate the successive operations of
selecting, preparing, sizing and can
ming ripe olives. Standardized sizes
range from the small select standard,
maximum of 14O to the pound, through
large, 9S to the pound, extra large,
giant, mammoth, jumbo and colossal
to super colossal, in which not more
than 80 olives must weigh a pound.
