THE FRUITS OF CALIFORNIA. Observations Upon Different Topics by the Report of the State Agricultural Society. The fruit business in California may safely be said to be in a healthy condition, but the growers have many problems to solve before it will be satisfactory. With our present acreage and the present development of our markets, should a full crop occur here contemporaneously with a full Eastern crop, we would find our markets gluttened and our prices disastrous. Under present conditions the further planting of fruit trees does not appear advisable, except in special cases. The present energy of our growers should be directed toward extending our American and foreign markets, and organizing at home for the better protection of our interests. Other activity should be directed toward improving the quality of our product, shipping it without deterioration, and curing and preserving it to the best advantage in the various forms calculated to give it the widest use and distribution. But the chief requirement is to introduce our products more generally to consumers, and to extend our markets. Further planting should wait upon this accomplishment. In 1896 experimental shipments of green fruits to England were tried, with promising results; that year 42 carloads were shipped there and sold. In 1897 58 carloads were sent, and in 1898 42 cars. In 1899 better success followed this venture, and 117 cars were sent to England, 4 cars to Scotland and 2 cars to Germany. This movement is at present in a most promising condition, and may result in a very great relief to our domestic markets. Although the fruit crop of 1899 was a comparatively large one, the product of dried fruit was small, owing to a good demand for fresh fruit in the East and from canners at home. The prices of all dried fruits for 1899, with the exception of prunes, were good, and the crop entered rapidly into consumption. Of apricots, pears and probably peaches the supply was deficient, while the carry-over in other varieties will be small, leaving a clear field for the crop of 1900. The conditions under which the producer has sold his dried fruit extensive factor in the Eastern market. The severe cold which prevailed in Florida in 1896, and destroyed so many of the groves in that State, gave a clearer field to the citrus product of California. For this and other reasons favorable prices have prevailed during recent years, and the season of 1898-99 was a profitable one. The unusual drought of 1898 was a serious menace, but sufficient irrigation was developed to preserve the orchards and mature a good crop. The crop of the season of 1899-1900 has not yet all been packed, but promises to be much in excess of that of the previous year. Considerable uneasiness is felt by our citrus growers over proposed reciprocity treaties admitting to competition with them the products of Cuba, Porto Rico and Jamaica. A serious obstacle to the movement of the citrus crop of this season, from the Southern counties, has arisen and is still pending, in the shape of a contention between the growers and the transportation companies over the right of the former to control the routing of their fruit. If this dispute continues at this critical time great loss will result, and it is to be hoped that the controversy will reach a speedy and just settlement. The planting of orange and lemon trees during the last few years has been very active, this being especially true of the recent planting season. This industry may safely be said to be in a healthy condition, and the planting of good varieties on soils suitable for that purpose promises to continue profitable. The navel orange, which grows to such perfection here, is one of the very best grown and is a standard variety for which there is always a good demand at good prices. The following table shows the citrus fruit shipments from California since 1890: | ORANGES AND LEMONS | Season | Carloads | Boxes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1890-91 | ... | 4,016 | 1,325,000 | | 1891-92 | ... | 4,400 | 1,452,000 | | 1892-93 | ... | 5,871 | 1,972,500 | | 1893-94 | ... | 5,022 | 1,687,500 | | 1894-95 | ... | 7,575 | 2,545,200 | | 1895-96 | ... | 6,915 | 2,323,500 | | 1896-97 | ... | 7,350 | 2,649,600 | | 1897-98 | ... | 15,400 | 5,174,400 | | 1898-99 | ... | 10,875 | 3,654,000 | To the foregoing figures for 1898-99 should be added about 400 carloads shipped by steamer to coast points; 239 cars shipped from Butte county; and extensive factor in the Eastern market.

Of apricots, pears and probably peaches the supply was deficient, while the carry-over in other varieties will be small, leaving a clear field for the crop of 1900. The conditions under which the producer has sold his dried fruit have not proven satisfactory, and have resulted in a general discontent. Growers whose interests were common have sold against each other in markets they were mutually interested in sustaining. Consignments without proper regard to distribution broke markets, the producer had no voice in fixing the price of his fruit, and in other ways he felt that he realized an unfair proportion of the sum paid for his fruit by the consumer. This has led to an effort to effect an organization of all the dried fruit interests to correct these evils. At a convention recently held, this movement was organized, and now only awaits the ratification of the growers. It is to be hoped that this plan will succeed, as it promises to increase the profits of the growers, whose interests more nearly concern the prosperity of the State. A great future awaits the proper management of this industry. The efforts of the growers or their organizations should be to seek out new markets, to perfect their product, to pack it attractively, and, above all, uniformly and honestly. The European market is opening up splendidly for our dried fruit. Our first shipments to that market were made but a few years since: the first heavy shipments, chiefly to Germany, were made in 1897, resulting from our splendid showing at the Hamburg Fair. Of the crop of 1899, up to January 1, 1900, 1150 carloads of dried fruit had been sold in the European market, and shipments are still going forward. The greatest care should be taken that fruit for this market, and in fact for all markets, should not have been excessively treated with sulphur, should be free from any suspicion of fruit insects or pests, and that the pack should be perfectly honest. United States Consul-General Mason, at Berlin, in a very recent report to the State Department, advance sheets of which have been furnished us, presents this most forcibly, giving instances of dishonest packing which proved very injurious to the extension of our trade. This report should be read by every association and packer in the State. One of the good works we look to see accomplished by an association is a provision for even grading and packing which will appeal to the confidence of the consumer. As we write this report, the press announces that oppressive restrictions on our sales have been removed by the governments of Switzerland and Germany, which should greatly extend our sales in those countries.

The crop of the season of 1899-1900 is of excellent quality and the largest yet produced in the State, estimated variously at from 14,000 to 18,000 carloads, 15,000 probably being a safe figure. Statistics are not attainable to show what part of a crop is oranges and what part lemons. Of the crop of 1898-99 the best figures obtainable place the lemons at from 800 to 900 cars out of the total shipped, with the probability in favor of the latter amount. This same proportion will probably prevail for the season 1899-1900. Dogs and Rabbits. Theodore Blumhardt has a couple of dogs which when turned loose rarely return without bringing with them a rabbit. They follow bunny to his burrow, chasing him in and out among the cactus and brush, and when the cotton-tail darts into his burrow the dogs at once begin excavating operations, and never cease until they have their prey. One dog will dig until exhausted, and then the other will go at it, the first one lying down and resting the while. The dogs at times give out on account of lack of water. At such times they return to the house and drink their fill. Then they put out after the rabbit again, and generally succeed in landing him. They go down three or four feet. The burrow rarely extends deeper, but it branches out several feet sidewise. Rabbit are said to be more plentiful of late, the late rains having started the grass, and they are quite numerous where two months ago they were few and far between. Rural Mail Delivery. Many sections of California are circulating petitions for the establishment of rural mail delivery. Santa Ana is talking about it, and we are informed Fullerton citizens have a petition out for signatures asking the establishment of a free delivery district at that point. This is an evidence of advancement, and will be cordially approved by all right-thinking people. What's the matter with the residents of this city, West Anaheim, Centralia, Buena Park, Los Alamitos and Garden Grove uniting in a free delivery district? Now is the time to do it. Strike while the iron is hot. Let petitions be circulated in these sections—begin the work today. No Primary. Anaheim Democrats held no primary election last week, and sent no delegates to the county convention. Neither did the unterrified of West Anaheim nor at Buena Park. Los Alamitos Garcia Don David was at Durkee's early in the afternoon. He dug his pit, prepared the fires and waited rather impatiently for the coming of the 6:30 train. When the train arrived, imagine his horror to be told no heads were aboard! Mr. Cargill tells the story, and now that feline quadruped is out of the bag a clean breast might as well be made of the whole affair. Cargill had telephoned to Los Angeles so that no mistake might be made about them. "Everything is all right," answered Everhardy, from the other end of line. "The heads have just left the shop, and in 10 minutes will be going out of town aboard the express." Cargill sat down to rest. He had given up his entire time for a week arranging the details for the picnic, and his labors, it seemed to him, were at last at an end. All was in readiness for him to do but to await the festivities of the morrow. How terribly he was doomed to disappointment, as the story papers have it, alas none could tell. A half hour sped by, and Cargill, as he read his favorite newspaper, had visions of great joy on the morrow. Suddenly his telephone bell rang out boisterously. Something he felt must be wrong. He went to the phone, and asked what was wanted. It was Everhardy at the other end, madder than two wet hens. "That — fool of a man of mine," he said, choking with rage,"has just got back,and says he failed to putthe heads aboard the express train. He turned them over to the freight sheds,and they are now locked up forthe night! The train has just pulled out! I'll fire him in the morning!" he continued, with a string of cuss words that absolutely made the wires sizzle."I wouldn't have had this happen for a hundred dollars!" Cargill was sweating blood. A great dark cloud had come upon the picnic. He called up Mr. Gregory,the Santa Fe passenger agent,and laidthe case before him. Gregory could do nothing. There was not an engine inthe roundhouse.The best thing he could do,他 said，was to shipthe heads to Chino bythe nightfreight，which reachedthefactorytownatdaylight。Thentheycouldbe driventoDurkee's,ninemilesoff. This would not do,Cargill said. Cargill was in a stew.He spoke to Evorhardy again. This time he toldhim to getthebestteaminLosAngelesandbe offposthaswiththeheadsforthepicnicgrounds. "Lose no time," said he,"butgetthoseheadsoutofthefreighthouseasyouvalueyourlife,andlookyouhere,speedthathorsemansothatDurkee'sby-the-Rivermaybereachedbymidnight!Failmenot.Everhardy,'orbytheboardoftheprophet.I'llmakeyoufeeltrentecentavos'worthwienerstwurstbythemorrow!"

CANNED FRUIT. The fruit pack of 1899 was the heaviest in the history of the industry. This was so notwithstanding extremely high prices had to be paid for the fresh fruit, and that a serious shortage of cans occurred all over the State in the very height of the packing season. The superiority of California canned fruits is now generally acknowledged, and they find a market in many parts of the world. We still import some of the finer grades of jams, preserves, marmalades, sauces and the like, which certainly should not continue. We grow here at least as good materials from which these articles are prepared as anywhere in the world, and our manufacturers should see that we do not, for example, import such articles as apricot or orange marmalade from England, where these fruits do not grow, to California, where they flourish. The growth of our foreign trade in canned fruits and vegetables is most encouraging. In 1894 we shipped 95,817 cases to England; in nine months of 1899 we shipped 492,380 cases there. Tariffs in other European markets obstruct the extension of our trade. The volume and growth of our fruit pack is shown by the following table: CALIFORNIA CANNED FRUIT PACK.

MISS MISS THE TRAIN Travelled All Night to Get Durkee's in Time for the Yrs' Club Picnic Among of the Farmers' club Shoof's on Monday after the various committees of the details of the picnics at Thursday at Durkee's-by-the special order. It over the fair, as it were. No paid, and money for this days comes grudgingly. Farmers' club are an ex-rule. Bills are always cheerfully, especially enjoyable outing as that pills for the picnic aggresion is amount has all been the next annual picnic, which ellipse all its past efforts. Interesting report of the fact that made by Mr. Carr slept a wink the night activities. It all came about as act of an employee of Durkee's butcher shop in Los Angeles man failed to place sheep's heads aboard the less train the afternoon beanie, and thereby caused a story as follows: Yorba had been engaged in heads, which were purposed Angeles for the reason David wanted heads of carriage killed. He was prepared for an especially fine scald and fresh heads he must head were consequently him, two of the beeves beet before the departure of which the club memorials! how fondly, they tried to the picnic grounds.

It was nearly noon. "When will dinner be served?" asked a most charming damsel. Don David was hunted up. "When will the heads be ready?" he was asked. "They will not be fit to eat before 4 o'clock." "Announce dinner at 1 o'clock," shouted Cargill. A chorus of "Ohs" went up from a bevy of pretty girls. "We are so hungry! Why don't you have dinner now?" For they wist not that the cabezas had missed the train. Nobody did. Some people must have suspected something was wrong, but the tension was soon relieved by the placing of snowy white tablecloths upon the long line of tables. Soon a hundred baskets were opened, and the hungry picnickers fell to with a will. There was a plenty for all. Dinner lasted for upwards of an hour. Look sharp there! What's that? Bless me, if this isn't Cargill bringing in the first of the two baked mutton heads! The heads were now being taken from the pit. And the crowd made that the special order. Soon a beeve's head, rare and juicy, was carved, followed by another and another, until the picnickers were gorged. Such a feast had been rarely seen at Durkee's, and every one said the heads were the finest he ever ate. Everything came out all right in the end. "All's well that end's well." The annual election of officers of the club resulted as follows: W. J. Fay, President; M. L. Rogers, First Vice-President; Geo. A. Hunter, Second Vice-President; Miss Marie Horstman, Treasurer; Henry Kuchel, Secretary. Mr. Huntington reported that the petitions to the Board of Supervisors asking for an appropriation for the purchase of ten fumigating tents for use by the Horticultural Commissioners in orchards where the professional fumigators found it impossible to operate, would be presented to the board at its meeting on Tuesday next. He said the Horticultural Commission had held a meeting on Saturday, and had delegated him with authority to go to Los Angeles and procure sealed bids for the tents. The bids would be opened by the Commissioners on Saturday, and the success- DEPARTED-HEROES' GRAVES Strewn with Flowers at Yesterday's Memorial Day Observance—Patriotic Exercises. Flags floated at half-mast yesterday in commemoration of the time-honored observance of Memorial day. Business was for the most part suspended, and the day was given over to the beautiful custom of placing wreaths of flowers upon the graves of departed heroes. Old lines are being obliterated, and where once was the sound of battle now the roses and the lilies commingle, and Blue and Gray fraternize, in the evening of life, to pay homage to those who answered to roll call in the light of the eternal summer's morning. At 2:30 Malvern Hill post, escorted by the Fullerton band, and accompanied by the Buena Park delegation, arrived on Lemon street, where hundreds of school children from the Anaheim, West Anaheim, Fullerton, Buena Park and other schools awaited them. The solemn procession was taken up to the cemetery, where a large concourse of people was assembled. At 3 o'clock the exercises of the day began by the decoration of the soldiers' graves by the members of Post and Relief Corps, assisted by the school children. Rev. Pratt offered up an impressive prayer, after which Lincoln's Gettysburg oration was read by Joseph McKinney of Buena Park as follows: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those who have given their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

The first schedule relates to the population; the second to the Indian population; the third to agriculture; the fourth to persons who have died within the census year; the fifth to persons of defective sight, hearing or speech; and the last to live stock not on farms or ranges. At the close of each day's work the enumerator must fill a card addressed to the census supervisor stating the number of persons, farms, etc., enumerated on the several schedules and the number of hours and minutes occupied. The enumerators, according to their instructions, have the right of admission to every dwelling and to every manufacturing or mechanical establishment for the purpose of obtaining the necessary information. They have also the right to put every question contained in the census schedules and to obtain answers to all of them.
