THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25. 1920 1 1 l v SEASON'S FIRST HIES LEAVE VALLEY TODAY First Car Going to East at Record Price Citrus Growers Expect Profit able Season for Industry The first car of Palt Hiver valley oranges will lpave the packing plnnt of the Arizona Citrus Growers' company today for tlx eastern market, brlnjf n? a price of a little over 6 cents a pound. This la prartii-iUly double the prices rlI In pnst years for local oranges and U" predicted opens tho most auspicious o. nnwn in.n inn vauoy citrus grow ng Industry has ever known. The car consisted of the earliest fruit from a number of local orchards and is an 01 unusually inrcre size and of ex nu..iiy. a present season, according- ti experts of the Industry, i-umnouipu in every way toward a llr" na more unirormiy tfxcellont .fruit than has been the case for a number of years past- The oranges are running in jrrndes from heavy to fancy and are pourin? Into the well equ pped local packintr plant at a rapid rate. Officials of tho ArUona Citrus Grow. -rV company are making a special -ii.iiri kj gti me crop out and onto h market Just as erly ns possiMo. in oraer to anticipate the California fruit and the present plan Is to have practic ally all local oranges out by Novem- i-t r is. i ' Avery It Earl Shipper noma or the Ernest fruit of the Talley Is beln?? picked in the orchard ft V. VT. Avery on. Chicago avenue above the Indian school road, which contains- some of the finest specimens or orsntre trees in the district. To Mr. Avery has been accorded the unusual .privilege of having; an orange named srter him the Avery F.nrlv. . The Avery Karly Is peculiarly adapt ed to the climate of the Rait Hiver val ley and was evolved In hi t own orchard ;by Mr. Avery. It is in rreat demand In the eastern market and a contract already has been made for a car load t the top price. The parent trees of the Avery Karly are being; largely bndled from by local growers. This ore r ere Is rmrirkabte for Its early rip entn qualities as well for Its ex- eellent size nnd flavor. tr. John Howman's six-year-old or- arue rrov Is bearing an excellent crop of eariv rlpeninsr navels this season, in spife of the fact that the trees are com. psratlvel-vr younsr. fr, Howman a? tr1'ifs the unusual nrros of his ex periments in the f rowing of citrus fruit. In part fit lat. to the wonderful rsver crops which he has erown In th orchard each yenr since the treos were set out. The cowpeaa In his orchard this year reached almost to the tops of the trees. IngUtide Has Early Fruit The orange orchard at Ingleslde, which is the largest and one of the oldest In the valley, s shipping early ripening- fruit. This orange grove has had a cover crop of alfalfa growing In it for a number of years. Henry Scott's orange grove, known as tho old Dr. MUh place, is In excel- ent bearing. Mr. Scott Is new In the trus game, but he came with the de- crmination to repat th succss h had had In raising cotton. His first crop bars out this determination and is probably the largest one that has ever been produced from the grove. As Is usual with this orchard, the oranges were among the first In the valley to ripen. judging from the present Indications, officials of the citrus growers declare, there will be an unprecedented acreage planted to citrus truit next epr ng In tho Salt River valley. Prospective cit rus growers, however, will be greatly handicapped by the scarcity of nursery stock here. With the almost total stopping of citrus planting since the advent of cotton, the local nurseries have reduced their citrus stock until It is now found In a negligible quan tity. Predict Boom in Citrus Industry Because of the laws governing the bringing into the state of c trus stock fcom other states. It will be necessary for prospective citrus gorwers to ob tain some new legislation if they are to turn to California for orange and grapefruit trees next fall. Even then the stock will have to be brought In under the most rigid inspect on, citrus experts Insist. That local farmers have learned the folly of putting all their eggs Into one basket and of trying to grow crops on land entirely unsited to them. Is the opinion of citrus growers, who predict a great boom In the Industry the com Iiik year. It has been found that noth ing can be grown more profitably on land choked with Johnson grass than citrus or deciduous fruits. Though the prospective citrus grow ers 111 have to wait four or five years before they get returns from their rroves, they w ill then have an income fro mthclr Investment for a lifetime THIS being true, it is essential that he obtain only the very best pedigreed nursery stock, experts point out. o In it I RUNNERS ARRESTED 10 PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGE Expert Plumbing 1 "An ounce of preven tion is worth a pound of cure' is an old saying that applies to life in many ways.

"The Gift Supreme," a screen version of which will be shown at the Colum bia theater today and tonight. In fact, this drama of life tends to prove that in every heart there is some good. A wealthy young man. whose father is none too square, decides to play the game of life in a different way. He wins for his wife a girl far above the mentality of those of his set. But to do so he fought the cunningness of a band of criminals. Fairness and faith in mankind assist him in winning his point. "The Gift Supreme" is one of the finest examples of the extent to which a screen drama may go. It has been acclaimed a masterpiece of screen pro duction. "Springtime'- is the special comedy. Toft's Country Club If the owls hoot, many black cats cross your path and the witches go flying over your head Saturday night it Is only the indication of the assem bling of all witchcraft from every cor ner of the universe for the annual con tention at Toft's Country club.

"t - e x, Strand Pauline Frederick's invincible por trayal of "Madame X," now playing an engagement at tho Strand, has proven to be one of the really great accom plishments of the silent drama. Her art, everywhere apparent in her over whelmingly natural interpretation of what is conceded one of the most dif ficult roles every written into a dra matic production, has proven her one of the screen's greatest artists and, perhaps, tho most accomplished of all the screen emotional stars. The capacity audiences which all throughout the day crowded the Strand were enthusiastic in their praise of the masterpiece of human appeal and the engagement probably will hang up a record for attendance. I n- AMUSEMENTS . MARCUS w n COMES "Nesting Time" Ed Redmond himself , is responsible for the statement that ''Nesting Time" is practically ready for production fully three days in advance of the opening date: In stock production this is certainly exceptional, but it is the manner in which Mr. Redmond works and this attribute has established for him an enviable reputation for satis factory ; accomplishment. "Nesting Time" is a delightful comedy-drama of youth and romance, beautifully heightened by a dozen song hits of the "whistling" variety. The opening per formance will be Wednesday afternoon and "Nesting Time" continues for the remainder of the week. Those Intend ing attending are urged to place their orders at their earliest convenience.

Seldom has so much in terest been manifested in a theatrical engagement as that which surrounds the coming of the extravaganza, for the advance sale of seats at the Elks box office Is reputed to be the largest in the history of the house. Owing to the length of the perform ance, It Is announced that the curtain will rise at 1:15 sharp. Three full hours are required to un fold the 23 scenes Into which the har lequinade Is divided. Such structural alterations in the stage of the Elks as were necessitated by the requirements of the super-spectacle. "Birth of Venus." have been com pleted. The Marcus attraction is due to ar rive at Phoenix on the Southern Pa cific. Three double-length baggage cars are required to transport the paraphernalia, while an equal number of Pullmans are allotted to the com pany. o The Hip "Camilla of the Yukon," the William Fox drama of Alaska is proving a real value at the Hip.
