A. DERGE. FRUITS AT AUCTION. Observations of a Californian on a Tour of the Eastern Markets. The Chicago auction house for the sale of California fruits is managed by the Union Auction Company, and the Union Auction Company is composed of Earl and Porter people. The auction company takes the goods out of the cars, arranges them in lots according to the markings of the shippers and according to the condition the goods are in. The top tier of boxes, which always ripens more rapidly than the rest, are, in each lot, put by themselves and so listed in the catalogue. The catalogue is made up, a separate sheet being used for each car, and these sheets are put into the hands of the prospective bidders as they arrive in the morning, any time from 7 o'clock to 9, when the bidding begins. The last box handled in each lot is opened by the auction people and placed on top of the pile for inspection, but the bidders are by no means confined to an inspection of this box. They are at liberty to open and inspect any and all boxes, provided that they nail them up again, and do not wantonly injure the fruit, and they generally exercise their privileges very fully. It is no sort of use for a grower to put little or over-ripe fruit in the bottom of the box with better fruit over it. He may be sure his sins will find him out. Each patron of the auction is equipped with a serviceable claw-bar, short enough to go in his pocket and heavy enough at the other end to do for a hammer, and he goes through piles of boxes with great rapidity, giving a full inspection to each, and noting in a cipher, only intelligible to himself, the results of his inspection in the catalogue he carries with him into the auction room. If the top box of a lot seems to show up bad or injured, the auction people come to the rescue of the shipper and insist upon a full inspection of the entire lot, often making a new line of the better part to keep the whole from going as the poorer will assuredly go unbid in such goods on their own and not the growers' account, and only when, in their opinion, there is opportunity to work off goods at an advance over the price bid at the auction, it is plain that the protection the grower receives is not as fall as it might be. I do not desire to be understood as saying that dishonest practices are indulged in in this market. The consignor gets more for his fruit than any jobber, other than his consignee, is willing to pay, but this good fortune is great if, under such a system, he comes at all near to getting the top of the market. The consignees at both these cities unequivocally affirm that the jobbers would have everything their own way if they did not "protect the growers" by buying the fruit in on their own, and not the grower's, account when they think it is going lower than it ought to. All the California fruits sold in these two markets are shipped here to be sold on consignment, and there is little doubt in my mind that the consignment system is as honestly and beneficially conducted there where in the world, but if result is tiffactory to the shipper flow from it this year it must be attributed to the fact that the market is hungry for the goods and not because the consignment system is a good system. In my humble judgment it would conduce to the permanent interests of California green fruits in northwestern markets if the auctions at St. Paul and Minneapolis were abolished and the jobbers in those cities were forced to buy f. o. b. California. I managed to draw from the wholesalers and jobbers the fact that they are not favorably disposed toward the auction system. They think that it permits the big shippers to have everything their own way, but they prefer that system to f. o. b. California because it affords them an opportunity to examine the goods before purchasing them. In fine, the consignment system is the one their souls yearn for. Under that system they can not possibly lose. They do not fancy the f. o. b. system, because, while it affords them an opportunity to win on a rising market, they may lose on a falling one. They are not pleased with the "selling delivered" of the Southern California system, because that also precludes speculation and is likely to force soil moisture. How to Conserve and Economize It—A Valuable Government Paper on This Important Subject. Next to temperature, moisture is probably the controlling factor in the growth of plants. The importance of an adequate supply of moisture is most strikingly demonstrated in regions of deficient rainfall where irrigation is necessary for the growth of crops (arid regions), but it is no less important in regions where rainfall is usually considered sufficient for the needs of crops (humid regions). Not only must there be a sufficient supply of moisture, but it must be properly distributed throughout the growing season. It it well known that crops may be injured by drought in a season which shows a high total rainfall, because there is a deficiency of rain just at the stage when the plant needs it most. Under all circumstances, therefore, it should be the farmer's aim to conserve the moisture in the soil—in arid regions to reduce as much as possible the labor and expense of irrigation, and in humid regions to protect crops against droughts. Various means may be employed for the purpose of conserving and economizing the moisture supply of soils. Subsoliling is one of the most important of these means. Several of the stations have made careful studies of the influence of subsoliling on soil moisture. The Wisconsin Station describes this influence substantially as follows: Subsoliling (1) increases the storage capacity of the soil for moisture, and (2) increases the rate at which water will sink into the soil, but (3) decreases the rate at which it may be brought back to the surface. Subsoliling also increases the amount of moisture available to crops, since plants are capable of utilizing a larger proportion of the moisture present in loose and coarse-grained soils than of that in fine-grained and compact soils. As regards the best method of subsoliling, a report of the Wisconsin Station states: "Subsoliling to be most effective He may be sure his sins will find out. Each patron of the auction is equipped with a serviceable claw-bar, short enough to go in his pocket and heavy enough at the other end to do for a hammer, and he goes through piles of boxes with great rapidity, giving a full inspection to each, and noting in a cipher, only intelligible to himself, the results of his inspection in the catalogue he carries with him into the auction room. If the top box of a lot seems to show up bad or injured, the auction people come to the rescue of the shipper and insist upon a full inspection of the entire lot, often making a new line of the better part to keep the whole from going as the poorer will assuredly go under the hammer. The poorer lines are bought by peddlers generally at low prices. So far as the handling of the fruit is concerned I cannot see wherein perfect fairness is not maintained in the Chicago auction, both as to the shipper and the purchaser. The fruit is sold for just what it is, as nearly as it can be, without inspecting each peach, pear or plum in the box. When the fruit has once passed into possession of the jobber, all sorts of arts are employed to pass the shrinkage along to the retailer. I have seen one of these worthies throw a dozen bad peaches out of a box, and to cover the loss, open up eleven other boxes, extract a sound peach from each to fill the diminished box and so readjust the contents of the dozen boxes as to cover the deceit. And yet the jobbers had discounted the lot fully on account of the damage when he bid it off. This is only one of the tricks of the commission trade. It is claimed in extension of such devices that, in the fruit business, one must be "foxy" in all the ways he knows or he will not make any money. There are about fifty to sixty bidders in regular attendance at the Union Auction Company's rooms in Chicago. This company has two rooms and auctions are held at each on alternate days. This is because a day is required to remove all the goods and arrange the warroom for the reception of the next lot. So far as one can see, there is no collision between bidders. Sometimes the bidding is very spirited, and yet, privately, the bidders themselves say that if they big dealers were to get together they could hold things pretty much their own way, but all insist that this has not been done and largely because of jealousy and lack of confidence among the commission men, who are presumed to know each other too well. And there are certain safeguards which the Earl and Porter people maintain which come near to enforcing a fair deal. The Chicago market is kept as hungry as possible for one thing by not shipping more fruit there than will be taken up at such prices as the shippers wish to maintain. Then, if the fruit is going too low, the shippers' representative calls out "no privilege," when only twenty boxes of that line can be taken and the goods may be reloaded and shoved off to New York or Boston. Nevertheless, when a sale or two has been made, the rate established at that start is likely to be pretty evenly maintained to the close of the sale for goods of even quality, leaving the competition to special (usually damaged) goods, which may go low and will not stand reshipment. I cannot find that, at Chicago, either the Earl or Porter people bid off goods on the floor of the auction on their own account or on account of those for whom they are shipping. I asked many of the brokers, in confidence, if they thought of the sort being done. Salvers and jobbers the fact that they are not favorably disposed toward the auction system. They think that it permits the big shippers to have everything their own way, but they prefer that system to f. o. b. California because it affords them an opportunity to examine the goods before purchasing them. In fine, the consignment system is the one their souls yearn for. Under that system they can not possibly lose. They do not fancy f. o. b. system, because, while it affords them an opportunity to win on a rising market, they may lose on a falling one. They are not pleased with the "selling delivered" of the Southern California system, because that also precludes speculation and is likely to force them to buy close to the top of the market; so, all told, they content themselves with the auction system as the best thing available. I must not omit to mention the new auction house established in Chicago by the Newhall people. I attended one sale there at which there were only one or two cars of fruit and about eighteen bidders, and I think that some of this fruit was bidden in by the shippers to prevent sacrifice. This auction house is not advantageously located with reference to trucking to and from the fruit jobbing center of Chicago, and the less our fruits are trucked over the cobblestones the better for them. These two auctions should somehow be consolidated or the Union auction houses should be thrown open to all shippers upon the same terms. Perhaps, however, this will have to wait until next year, when Mr. Stickney's great railroad clearing yards will have been established, giving all the railroads access to all the trade centers in Chicago and out of Chicago. A. J. Pillsbury in Tulare Register. VACUUM CARS FOR FRUIT. An Interesting Invention Made by a Californian: A California inventor, F.C. Covey of Stockton, Cal., has devised a new system for the preservation of fruit in transit that he believes to be superior to any other system. He is having a car built from his plans and expects to demonstrate the truth of his claims. His working model is a practically airtight box about a yard long and a foot and a half wide, which represents a refrigerator car. Attached to this is a pump, by which air is extracted and a vacuum formed, as nearly as possible. Into this box Covey placed a box of peaches, fruit that was really too ripe to be shipped. He pumped out every three or four hours. Twenty-two days after he had placed the peaches in the box he removed them, and although the weather was unusually warm, they appeared identically same as when they were "shipped." They had not changed a particle. Rarified air being lower in temperature, it was several degrees cooler in the box than outside. Covey's invention is based on the theory that fruit would be preserved forever if no particle of air could reach it. Covey will attach a pump to the under side of the car with a pipe running up through the floor. The pump will be operated by what is known as a ball-and-socket joint eccentric, and will be run from the axle of the car. In this way the air will be kept continually exhausted. By means of a relief valve when the vacuum shows a certain pressure the pump will be released from duty, pumping in air through the chamber and out again. As soon as the pressure is lowered the relief valve will close and the work salvers and jobbers the fact that they are not favorably disposed toward the auction system. They think that it permits the big shippers to have everything their own way, but they prefer that system to f. o. b. California because it affords them an opportunity to examine the goods before purchasing them. In fine, the consignment system is the one their souls yearn for. Under that system they can not possibly lose. They do not fancy the f. o. b. system, because, while it affords them an opportunity to win on a rising market, they may lose on a falling one. They are not pleased with the "selling delivered" of the Southern California system, because that also precludes speculation and is likely to force them to buy close to the top of the market; so all told, they content themselves with the auction system as the best thing available.

to be pretty evenly maintained to the close of the sale for goods of even quality, leaving the competition to special (usually damaged) goods, which may go low and will not stand reshipment. I cannot find that, at Chicago, either the Earl or Porter people bid off goods on the floor of the auction on their own account or on account of those whom they are shipping. I asked many of the brokers, in confidence, if they knew anything of the sort being done, and only one affirmed that it was, and he did not particularize. Furthermore, if it was not a case of mistaken identity, the broker who so affirmed was the one who attempted to fall down on his bid the day before and was warned by the auctioneer that if he did not take the goods he would not recognize any more of his bids, an occurrence which discredited his testimony in my eyes, the more especially as all the others asserted that nothing of the sort was done or could be done without their knowledge. I make this statement because I know that California growers, or at least some of them, harbor the suspicion that the big shippers buy in their stuff at auction when it goes low and there is chance for a rise in a day or so, run it into cold storage and sell upon their own account when prices right up again. I do not think I can be mistaken when I affirm that this is not done in Chicago, but it is different in St. Paul and Minneapolis. These markets are compared with Chicago, small, and too small to maintain a worthy auction system. Minneapolis sells as much fruit in a day as St. Paul does in a week, and Chicago sells as much in a day as Minneapolis does in a week, and Chicago sells none too much and has none too many buyers to insure a free and full competition among bidders, a thing I feel certain is not maintained either at Minneapolis or St. Paul. There are seldom at either place more than fourteen or fifteen bidders present at the auction sales, and the only restraint upon their getting together and getting the goods at such prices as they care to pay is the veto power which the Pressly people at St. Paul and the Porter people at St. Paul and Minneapolis exercise in bidding in the goods which they have placed on auction. This professionally do to "protect" the grower, but as they confessedly Covey's invention is based on the theory that fruit would be preserved forever if no particle of air could reach it. Covey will attach a pump to the under side of the car with a pipe running up through the floor. The pump will be operated by what is known as a ball-and-socket joint eccentric, and will be run from the axle of the car. In this way the air will be kept continually exhausted. By means of a relief valve when the vacuum shows a certain pressure the pump will be released from duty, pumping in air through the chamber and out again. As soon as the pressure is lowered the relief valve will close and the work of exhausting will commence again. The pump to be placed on the first car for a test will be of eight inch diameter with a ten-inch stroke. Write-ups Cost Money.

Jan26-17 This can be done in humid regions to some extent at least, by thorough preparation and tillage of the soil (in case of fruit trees) by guarding against excessive surface fertilization. In arid regions frequent irrigation is claimed, encourages shallow rooting. To prevent loss of water from soil by evaporation it is necessary to check the rise of water by capillary to the surface of the soil. As already noted, this is accomplished to some extent by subsoiling, but in order to work partly accomplished by subsoloing may be completed and continued, the surface of the soil must be covered with a mulch of loamy well-tilled soil by means of frequent tillage. Some experiments of Kansas Station afford an illustration of the effectiveness of this means of serving soil moisture: "One of the Station fields which contains in round numbers 26 per cent water in the first foot of soil, on July 1898, had one portion plowed, another disk-harrowed and a portion left treated. The ensuing dry weatherthe course of four weeks, notwithstanding several light rains, reduced moisture of the untreated part to per cent and that of the disked land 18 per cent, the plowed ground retiring 21 per cent. The last two years excellent condition for seeding, while the first would plow up lumpy and satisfactory." In the experiments at the Kansas Station plowing proved as effectively any form of tillage tested. "If it does not permit plowing, the spike work of the disk harrow complements favorably in efficiency. In either case if rain sufficient to start the worms follows, kill them with a harrow. Will at same time break up crust and reserve the mulch." Whether the best results in preparing loss of moisture from the soil humid regions will be obtained by soiling, shallow cultivation, or cultivation will depend very largely upon the character of the soil and soil. The Kansas Station found essential difference in the moist contained at the different depths soil that had been prepared in spring by shallow plowing, by subsoloing. In elements at the North Dakota State different methods of preparing soil tillage for wheat, the largest yield obtained from land subsoiled below a 6-inch furrow. A small mulch of well-tilled soil 3 or 4 thick is usually considered sufficient for effective protection in humid regions of deficient rainfall, hot MOISTURE. Preserve and Economize It—A Government Paper on This Important Subject. Temperature, moisture is the controlling factor in of plants. The importance rate supply of moisture is largely demonstrated in recent rainfall where irrigation necessary for the growth of regions), but it is no less in regions where rainfall is considered sufficient for the crops (humid regions). Not more be a sufficient supply, but it must be properly throughout the growing of it well known that crops are dried by drought in a season when a high total rainfall, be a deficiency of rain just when the plant needs it. Circumstances, therefore, the farmer's aim to conserve in the soil—in arid reductive as much as possible and expense of irrigation, aid regions to protect cropsouths. Various means may aid for the purpose of conserving the moisture soils. Is one of the most important means. Several of the have made careful studies of course of subsolling on soil moist-Wisconsin Station describes substantially as follows: (1) increases the storage capacity soil for moisture, and (2) the rate at which water will be the soil, but (3) decreases the which it may be brought back surface. Subsoliling also increases amount of moisture available, since plants are capable of a larger proportion of the present in loose and coarse soils than of that in fine-grain-impact soils. The best method of sub-report of the Wisconsin Station is to be most effective twice this depth is considered necessary. In humid regions there is danger of serious loss of nitrates in subjecting bare plowed land to the long-continued leaching action of abundant rains, as is done in summer fallowing and fall plowing; nevertheless, the Kansas Station has found that the plowing of stubble as soon as possible after the removal of the previous crop, with frequent stirring of the soil, as described above, "not only insures a perfect seed bed for wheat in respect to moisture, but the soil has time to settle to the firm conditions so advantageous to wheat, and the barrenness, warmth and moisture are most favorable to the formation of nitrates from organic matter." In regions of deficient rainfall loss by leaching need not be feared. Under such conditions both summer fallowing and fall plowing may prove of great value in conserving moisture. "Fall plowing wherever the land is not naturally adequately absorbent, and is not thereby rendered liable to washing away, is a very effectual mode of utilizing the winter's moisture to the utmost, so as to bring about the junction of the season's moisture with that of the previous season, which is generally considered as being a condition precedent for crop production in dry years. The same of course holds true of winter irrigation, the frequent omission of which in presence of a plentiful water supply at that season is a prolific cause of unavoidable crop failures. Moistening the ground to a considerable depth by winter irrigation is a very effective mode of promoting deep rooting, and will thus stand in lieu of later irrigations, which, being more scant, tend to keep the roots near the surface." Moisture escapes from soils bearing crops much more rapidly than from bare soils. This fact has been clearly demonstrated by investigations by the Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin and other stations. These investigations show that sod land and soil bearing different crops always maintain less moisture than uncultivated soil of the same character. It is undoubtedly true that the injurious effect of weeds is due fully as much to the moisture they withdraw from the soil as to the plant food which they consume. The poor growth of crops near hedgerows and woods is due largely to withdrawal from the soil of moisture required for LEMONS; BY PRODUCTS Suggestions Upon the Industry by a Successful San Diego Grower. It is now something over ten years since we began planting on a large scale and on the whole we have reason to be gratified with the progress made. Of course there have been mistakes, but we cannot expect to acquire in a year the experience which it has taken the Sicilians centuries to learn. Indeed we may be said only to have made a good beginning. In methods of irrigation and the amount of water needed we know more than we did; also the varieties of lemons best adapted to our locality. The experience of the past and present seasons show that the tree will stand an astonishing amount of drought without injury—very much more than the orange tree. In the matter of varieties a carefully tabulated monthly weighing-in of the fruit as picked shows conclusively that the Villafranca produces the most summer fruit, with the Eureka a close second, and either of these varieties is better for this district than the Lisbon, which seems to have the preference in the interior valleys. A few years ago it seemed as if the scale bugs, which infest all neglected orchards in the coast districts, might prove an insurmountable obstacle to our success. On your orchards spray washes can be used effectively, but as the trees increase in size it finally becomes practically impossible to do thorough work. Fortunately the process of fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas has been so cheapened of late years as to be within the reach of every successful orchardist, and it is probably not too much to say that no orchardist will be successful who neglects its use, for growing dirty fruit is a hopeless groping in the dark. The difference between success and failure will frequently be found right in this matter of the cleanliness of the orchard. Another departure in which great progress has been made is in the pruning of the trees. The new method, now in vogue, is that of cutting out the cen- The best method of subsoiling on soil moisture is substantially as follows: (1) increases the storage capacity of soil for moisture, and (2) the rate at which water will be absorbed by the soil, but (3) decreases the amount of moisture available for a larger proportion of the present in loose and coarse soils than that in fine-grain compact soils. Subsoliling also increases the amount of moisture available for a larger proportion of the present in loose and coarse soils than that in fine-grain compact soils.

The ensuing dry weather in course of four weeks, notwithstandseveral light rains, reduced the heat of the untreated part to 15 degree and that of the disked land to cent, the plowed ground retainper cent. The last two were in instent condition for seeding, while last would plow up lumpy and unfectory." The experiments at the Kansas Station plowing proved as effective as form of tillage tested. "If time is not permit plowing, the speedy of the disk harrow compares ably in efficiency. In either case, in sufficient to start the weeds, kill them with a harrow. This at the same time break up any and reserve the mulch." Whether the best results in preventloss of moisture from the soil in and regions will be obtained by subslow cultivation, or deep vation will depend very largely on the character of the soil and subslow. The Kansas Station found no total difference in the moisture mained at the different depths of that had been prepared in the plow by shallow plowing, by deep plowing and by subsoiling. In experiments at the North Dakota Station on current methods of preparing soil and age for wheat, the largest yield was mined from land subsoiled 8 inches down a 6-inch furrow.

The manufacture of Cream of Lemon soap, which has been conducted here in the city for the past two or three years, illustrates another form of by-product which may probably be extended to considerable proportions. The detergent properties of lemons are well-known, being remarkable in that they at the same time remove dirt and leave the skin soft and smooth. The lemon, therefore, makes a perfect basis for a toilet article. When in Boston last summer I was surprised and pleased to find in one of the principal drug stores an entire table devoted to a display of San Diego Cream of Lemon. Another local product which promises well is preserved lemon juice. This is put up to keep indefinitely and while not as palatable for lemonade as the fresh juice, yet has a great field in the mining camps and on ship board. At the present time San Diego county contains something like two-fifths of the entire acreage in the State devoted to the lemon. When the water system at present in process of construction shall be completed much land of the best quality will be available to increase this acreage, and as the conditions here are more favorable than perhaps anywhere else, when the question of frost is considered, it is more than probable that we shall soon be growing a full half of the State's acreage. —R.C.Allen at a"Lemon Meeting,"of the Chamber of Commerce at San Diego.
