MERCEDES. June 12. — Date
shoots from Iraq, after a journey
across the ocean and a temporary
residence in Washington, have
reached their future home on the
Texas A. & M. Experiment Station
farm near here.
There are 986 offshoots in the lot
which has just been planted, and
according to Ralph T. Robinson,
plant breeder of the United States
lepartment of agriculture, consti
tute “the most important shipment
dates ever received in this coun
try.”
"Only a limited area of the Untied
States Is adapted to date production
and a good percentage of this area
lies in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
end South Texas.” said Robinson,
who came "here with the shipment
rnd assisted W. H. Friend, superin
tendent of the experiment station,
in olanting the shoots.
Before being brought to the Val
ley the plants were subjected to a
drastic "cooking” treatment at
Washington to guard against the In
troduction of harmful insect pests.
The date offshoots were obtained
from the native groves of Iraq bv
Ralph W. Nixon, of (he United
States department of agriculture,
who made a special studv of date
production along the Persian Gulf
and selected many rain resistant
'arieties which it is believed will
thrive under the climatic condi
tions prevalent tr. the Rio Grande
Valley. The expedition for gather
ing the offshoots was made possible
bv special appropriation by congress
through the efforts of Congressman
John Garner. The shipment, com
prising 986 offshoots and represent
ing twenty-seven distinct varieties,
was assigned to the Texas Station
by the United States Department of
Agriculture for trial in the Valley
countrv were climatic conditions are
somewhat similar to that where the
shoots were gathered.
