11. Only practiced on a small scale, but it will surely come to the front 
in the near future. Pears and peaches $1.50 per crate, net 250 to 400 crates 
per acre. (300 trees at Fruitdale netted grower $870.00.) 
12. Shortened crop one-third or oyer. With us figs are the only fruit killed 
down and they will bear again next year. Standard fruits as pears, peaches, 
plums, pecans, etc., have sustained practically no injury. 
ARIZONA. 
BY PROP. A. J. McCLATCHIE, PHOENIX, CHAIRMAN. 
1. The principal fruit sections of Arizona are the Salt River Valley about 
Phoenix, the Santa Cruz Valley about Tucson, and the Verde Valley about 
old Camp Verde, the first of which is the most important one. Besides the 
above, there are many small mountain valleys where apples, pears, plums 
and some peaches are grown successfully. The best apples are grown at the 
higher elevations. In many cases the quality of the plums and peaches grown 
in the mountain valleys is superior to those • grown in the lower warmer 
valleys. 
2. Orchard land sells at from $50.00 to $100.00 per acre and bearing orch- 
ards at $75.00 to $200.00 per acre, irrigating water costing about two dollars 
per year additional.

Cherries, currants, gooseberries and raspberries have not been grown 
successfully in Arizona except in a few mountain valleys. The loquat oc- 
casionally fruits near Phoenix. 
8. Orchardists have very few dis eases and insect pests to contend with. 
The red spider injures almonds slightly and the imported dates are intested 
with a scale peculiar to that tree. No serious injury has yet been done by 
any insect or disease.
