THE BISMAR RIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1931 Raising of Dates in California Promises to Be Large New Industry FRUIT OF BIBLICAL TIME GROWN WITH SUCCESS IN WEST Coachella Valley, 135 M From Los Angeles, Scene of Most Activity 3,000 ACRES ARE PLANTED; Deep Artesian Wells Underly’ Desert Area Provide Suf- ficient Water bi ing, Los Angeles, Calif, Jan. 2—«(NEA) | —What promises to be an important industry of the United States within the next 10 years, according to ex- perts, is rapidly springing up in the Coachella Valley. 135 miles trom Los Angeles and in a desert country be- low sea-level: This is the American date industry. Started 25 years ago by a small group of men working in cooperation with the University of Califorria, the date industry has reached a stage where it is being recognized by the exporters of dates from Algeria as a worthy opponent. Three thousand acres of date palms are planted in the valley at the pres- ent time and a crop of 3,000,000 pounds has been shipped during 1930. When these 3,000 acres are in full bearing, however, their annual crop will exceed 25,000,000 pounds. Experimented in 1904 In 1904 the first United States ex- perimental station for date palms was established at Mecca, Arabia. Three years later another was starteo near Indios, It is still in operation. supply- ing information to the growers. The chief difficulty to surmount in starting dates growing in the valley was that of adequate water supply. ; ‘The desert heat made it an !deal place to grow the palms, being equal to that of their native element in Al- gerta. In Algeria, however, palms) grow with their roots continually in water. Wells Furnish Water Deep artesian wells were found to necessary water from these wells everything was favorable for the growing of dates. The wells supply enough water to cover each acre with 10-aere feet of water a year. Propagation of the palms was an- other barrier to overcome. There are male and female trees. The female trees grow the dates while the male tree supplies the necessary pollen for fertilization. Unlike most trees and plants, in- sects, birds or wind do not aid in transferring the pollen from one tree to another. It is necessary therefore to pollenate each tree by hand. “Three Types Grown be underlying the valley and with the; are used as an indication. According to these, farmers are planning to breed 28 per cent more sows in the spring of 1931 than farrowed in the spring of 1930. However, in past years actual farrowings have always been considerably smaller than indi- cated by intentions. The average spread between these during the last eight years has been about 20 per cent. If this figure is applied to the | Present intentions estimate, actual farrowings next spring will run from 7 to 10 per cent above those of last | Spring when they reached the lowest Point since 1925. | For the United States the fall crop | shows a decrease of about 1 per cent | as compared with last fall. The com- ! bined spring and fall crop was about 4 per cent smaller than in 1929. Although the survey shows the number of sows bred or to be bred for spring farrowing in 1931 to be 12 per cent greater for the country as a whole, and 10 per cent greater for the corn belt, than the number of | Sows which actually farrowed in the spring of 1930, when allowance is made for the usual spread between | breeding intentions and actual far- | rowings, there is likely to be little change in the number of sows which will actually farrow in the spring of | 1931 compared with the spring of | 1930. Past surveys have shown that the number of sows reported as bred in the fall were larger than the number reported as farrowed the following spring, due to changes in intentions, death losses and other causes. The umber of pigs saved per litter in |the spring of 1930 was unusually { large, being 5'2 per cent above aver- age. If the number saved per litter in the spring of 1931 is only average, the pig crop of 1931 will probably be | somewhat smaller than that of 1930. is FAIRBANKS WILL HUNT Three approved commercial rieties of dates are being packed by three-fourths growers in the valley.
