THE IVY RANCH, NEAR PHCENIX, ARIZONA : SALT RIVER PROJECT, ARIZONA 



The bee industry in the Salt River Valley is a very profitable industry, as the climatic 

 conditions are perfect, and the clover and alfalfa fields, as well as the wild mesquite, affords 

 good feed for the bees, making this section of the country very well adapted for this business.
