At the right Is shown a date tree with typical clus ters of the fruit. i __ 1_-— ruit of Biblical Times Is Grown in Low Desert in California Los Angeles, Cal.—(NEA)—What promises to be an important indus try of the United States within the next 10 years, according to experts, is rapidly springing up in the Coachella Valley, 135 miles from 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 co-opera tion with the University of Cali fornia, the date industry has reached a stage where it is being recognized by the exporters of dates from Algeria as a worthy op ponent. Three thousand acres of date palms are planted in the valley at the present 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. Jn 1904 the first United States ex perimental station for date palms was established at Mecca, Arabia. Three years later another was started near Indio. It is still in operation, supplying 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 ideal place to grow the palms, being equal to that of their native ele ment in Algeria. In Algeria, how ever, palms grow with their roots continually in water. Deep Wells Furnish Water Deep artesian wells were found to be underlying the valley and with the necessary water from these wells everything was favor able for the growing of dates. The wells supply enough water to cover each acre with 10-acre feet of water a year. Propagation of the palms was another'barrier to overcome. There are male and female trees. The fe male trees grow the dates while the The Tax Refunds. From New Ycrk World. The $126,000,000 of taxes returned oy the federal government in the last fiscal year to those who were found to have overpaid their quota supplies further evidence of the in tricacies of our system of income taxation. The amount refunded was somewhat smaller than that of the preceding year, but it was equal to about 5 per cent of the total income tax collected and to about 4 per cent of taxes of all kind3. In many cases where the amount of the tax is debatable the taxpayer prefers to give the government the benefit of the doubt so as to avoid the pay l ~ Crowned r ■■ - ' '*""■" —^ G. T. ROYAL When they proclaim a king in Montr $;e county, Colorado, they really crown him. This picture of G. F. Royal, of Montrose, wearing a gold- crown topped by a gold potato, is proof. He was recently crowned potato king of the district, after producing 730 bushels of potatoes from a measured acre. 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 Three approved commercial va rieties of dates are b’ing grown m(*nt of interest cn any balance for which he may subsequently be found liable. He then puts in a claim for a refund, and if this is allowed it is he who collects inter est on his overpayment. Such in terest payments by the government last year amounted to about $38, 000,000, a tidy sum. All of which points to the need of more simplicity and clarity in the tax law and in its administra tion. It was for meeting this need that Congress some time ago set up the Joint Congressional Committee on Taxation. The more complicated the law, the greater the advantage which the large taxpayer enjoys over the man whose income falls within and packed by three-fourths of the date growers in the valley. These are the "Deglet Noor,” meaning in Arabic “the date of life;” the "Saidy,” meaning "of the north;” and the "Thoory,” the "dry bread date.” Other varieties are con stantly being grown for experimen tal purposes but the three named are most successful from a com mercial viewpoint. The age of an old date palm is expressed in centuries. There ara some commercial date plantings in Algeria on which records have been kept for over 300 years. On this continent, at San Ignacio, Lower California, Mexico, 50,000 date palms that were produced from seed planted by the Jesuit padres in 1720 and 1770 are still in full bear ing. The three varieties grown by val ley farmers are packed in a mod ern and sanitary plant maintained by their date association. The fruit, is carefully cleaned and fumigated before being assorted and graded into its various sizes and brands. Minimum of handling is given the fruit and it is all hand-packed by girls for shipment. Fancy boxes also are packed here. Q. Please tell something of the cliff-dwellers of the Southwest. J. W. A. Cliff-dwellers, although of broader application, means in America that prehistoric race that built the houses and villages whose ruins are found in the southwestern part of the United States, and es 1 ecially in the valley of the Rio San Juan and its tributaries. This river r'ses in the extreme southwestern 1 coiner of Colorado, and flows west ward along the borders of adjoin ing states to a junction with the Rio Colorado. As to the origin ot these vanished cliff-dwellers noth ing is known; but it is evident that centuries ago these valleys were oc cupied by a considerable, sedentary population, who had fixed homes and cultivated fields for crops of corn, beans, gourds, and probably other things, by means of extensive systems of irrigation. They made pottery, cloth, baskets, etc., and stone implements, but nothing me tallic. the lower brackets. The big tax payer can afford to employ experts who know how to utilize every le gal technicality to his advantage. When the small taxpayer believes that he has overpaid he often finds that the expanse of establishing his claim will be greater than the amount which he may recover. •-»-♦ - — — ■ - Q. Of wha metals are nickels and pennies made? C. H. A. The office of the director of the mint says that a nickel con tains 75 per cent copper and 25 per cent nickel. A one cent piece con tains 95 per cent copper and 5 per tent tin and zinc.
