California to Grow Dates Center of World Culture
The Salton sea basin near Indio California could become the world center for date culture within fifty years thanks to the Agriculture Department. The Bureau of Plant Industry has sought date palm shoots of Saidy Wahl and Lewi varieties for nearly twenty years. Difficulties arose as sources were hard to locate until 1913 when a Tunis oasis grove of 200000 palms was found. After satisfactory negotiations the shoot collection began and 2800 young trees will be planted soon.
