A YUMA DATE TREE LOADED WITH HUNDREDS OF POUNDS 

 OF CHOICE FRUIT 



Date culture is an established industry of the Yuma country, and 

 the yield of the date trees and the income from the sale of the fruit is 

 astonishing to the new comer. Not many date orchards are yet in 



bearing, but a number have planted fair sized orchards. The old trees, 

 which have been bearing fruit for a number of years, have demon- 

 strated that an acre of land planted to date palms when it comes into 

 bearing will yield a larger profit than any other crop or fruit.
