The Big Department Store OUR FRUIT INDUSTRIES From an address by Hon. George C. Pardee, Governor of California, at the State Fruit Growers' convention at Santa Rosa. I realize that this is a gathering of men who are, in one way or another, specialists, and I shall not undertake to instruct any one of my hearers in his specialty, whether it be orchard or vineyard, wine or rasin making, the marketing of fruit products or the study of plant and tree diseases. All I shall attemtto do is to talk to you about the general economic aspects of our great fruit industry, and then add something in regard to the efforts which the state and federal governments are making to promote it. from $15,000,000, and even thiful record will be surpassed d coming year. Add to these 4000 carloads of raisins, 5500 prunes, 500 to 600 carloads of the canned and dried fruit and brandy, and you will havtitive measure of the fruit in the state.

All I shall attempt to do is to talk to you about the general economic aspects of our great fruit industry, and then add something in regard to the efforts which the state and federal governments are making to promote it. No one knows just what the value is to California of this great industry, because there are no complete statistics, although it is by common consent agreed that it constitutes our largest interest. In the census of 1900 the value of the fruit products of the United States was given at $131,000,000, of which California claimed $28,000,000, or 21½ percent. These figures were sufficient to show how far California had outstripped every other state, for New York, the next largest producer, contributed less than $16,000,000. But these figures are six years old. One expert now estimates California's fruit products at $50,000,000, while another competent judge places the figure at $80,000,000. FRUIT SHIPMENTS. During the shipping season just closed there have been forwarded more than 8000 carloads of deciduous fruits, which went to 135 eastern cities, from which it was redistributed so widely that there was scarcely a town in the northern states in which the inhabitants could not enjoy fresh California fruit. But the magnitude of this movement of fresh fruits, great as it is, will be far outdone this year by the trade in citrus fruits, just commencing. More than 30,000 carloads of oranges and lemons were sent to eastern markets last season, the value amounting to not far QUESTION OF EXPANSION The fruit producers of California have already conquered so many culties that there is reason they will continue to win success although excessive expansion depreciated as dangerous, futility development, if judiciously made probably as safe as most busiest investments.

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT Now about the relation ofernment to the horticultural farm industries. You all know rapidly in this country our cost of the value of agricultural land and of research and of experience enlarged. And you all know department of agriculture has faster than any other of thements of the federal government I am glad to say that in that department, Hon. James California has a very good friend Wilson has sent us the leader of the country to investigate blight, which threatens the pear industry, and the expert blanche to do everything which needed, or which he can devise.

You have all heard of the plant introduction garden of the department of agriculture recently established at Chico. The department each year imports 1000 to 1500 new plants, scouring the world for them, and as some place was needed to test their value and acclimate them, an introduction farm was established in California, because a greater variety of things will flourish in our soil and climate than elsewhere. It is natural to assume that if the new introductions will acclimatize here this state will be the first to derive advantage from those which prove to be valuable. The third advantage I will mention is the establishment of an experimental date farm on the Colorado river. Africa and Asia are being ransacked for date plants to be tested on the farm, and the possibilities are immense. It is a fact, and not merely a theory, that dates will grow in California, and all that is necessary to create a valuable new industry is to discover the right varieties and the most favorable districts in which to grow them. In the same liberal manner Secretary Wilson has come to our assistance in the Smyrna fig industry and in soil surveys, irrigation investigations and viticultural experiments. STATE HELP. And our state, recognizing the importance of these industries, has not been idle. It appropriated in the last legislature $150,000 for a university farm, which is bound to be of lasting benefit to horticulture, as well as to the animal industries and every kind of farming. It also provided for a pathological station to be established at a cost of $30,000 for the study of diseases of orchard trees, fruits and vegetables. Equally important was the appropriation of $20,000 to be spent in viticul- And our state, recognizing the importance of these industries, has not been idle.

It also provided for a pathological station to be established at a cost of $30,000 for the study of diseases of orchard trees, fruits and vegetables. Equally important was the appropriation of $20,000 to be spent in viticultural research by the scientists in the university. Other appropriations and laws of benefit to the farmers were passed. As an evidence of how everything agricultural tends to come to California, we expect next year three national conventions of peculiar interest to farmers, and there will also be three national educational conventions. In conclusion, I wish to say that while the horticulturalists of California have accomplished wonders, more and greater things will be done by the generation which is to come after us. There is no limit to California’s possibilities. HINDOO CREMATION. The Funeral Pyre and the Rites Before the Burning. Toward the upper end of the ghats is the burning ground. There are no steps here, but a slope of beaten dirt. Stop half an hour and you may see every step of the cremation rites. Sitting on stone ramparts above, to the right and left, are friends and relatives of the dead ones. The figure to the right, huddled up in a bright green wrap, is of the lowest caste of Hindoo and keeps the mat shed near by, where the sacred fire for igniting every corpse is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries of “Ram! Ramana!” and, behold, a burial procession is coming down the slope. Four men carry the corpse slung between two bamboo poles and cry to the god Ram. He is the personification of filial love, and thus it is meet that they should call him to witness. They swing down to the river and immerse the corpse. It is wrapped in a white shroud stained with red blotches. Then they lift the head slightly out of the water and remove the shroud from the face, splashing water five times upon the mouth. Others in the meantime are building a wooden pyre, made of fagots sold near by and when finished standing footsteps more above ground. Tree Planting Tree planting time is again, and the California Committee, which is taking interest in the beautification and towns of California, tention to the fact by seri handbook on “Street Tree Ana.” It is a well recognized from the standpoint of either visual or the community better asset when it comes people to a place that trees about a man’s home on streets and in the little city. Tree planting in Cal been followed along lines spasmodic, and sometimes but in few places about there any completely organized toward the progressive b of the highways.

But it membered that the system carried out with an eye to ty and not to the conven present. Haphazard and work in tree planting destiny is sought by the work.

You all know how this country our conceptions of agricultural education research and of experiment have been. And you all know that the state of agriculture has grown in any other of the department's federal government. And so say that in the head of Department, Hon. James Wilson, he has a very good friend. Mr. Wilson sent us the leading expert country to investigate pear which threatens the Bartlett country, and the expert has carte de do everything which may be done which he can devise, to as cry to the god Ram. He is the personification of filial love, and thus it is meet that they should call him to witness. They swing down to the river and immerse the corpse. It is wrapped in a white shroud stained with red blotches. Then they lift the head slightly out of the water and remove the shroud from the face, splashing water five times upon the mouth. Others in the meantime are building a wooden pyre, made of fagots sold near by and when finished standing three feet or more above ground. The corpse, its dark color showing through the dripping shroud, is then placed on the wooden altar and covered with fagots. This done, all but two mount the ramparts and watch the final ceremony. Of the two remaining, one pours oil upon the wood from a small clay dish, while the other goes to the fire house above. He soon returns with a long straw wisp, blazing at one end. He advances to the corpse's head, touches it with the wisp and then circles the pyre five times, touching the head each time until the fifth, when he places the blazing wisp beneath the feet, and the whole pile bursts into flame. When all is consumed the ashes are raked into the river and float away to bliss eternal.—F. J. O. Alsop in Outing. Seventeenth Century Customs. In the seventeenth century Englishmen thought it injurious to sleep in rooms facing the sun, so most of the rooms faced north and east, opening off a passage or else out of each other. At the head of the stairs slept the master and his wife, and all the rooms tenanted by the rest of the household were accessible only through that. The daughters of the house and maidservants lay in rooms on one side, say the right, with the maids in those most distant; those of the men lay on the left, the sons of the house nearest the chamber of the master and the serving men farthest away.

The opportunity Southern Pacific world where so wide a variety of productions can be found on the same acre of land. The opportunities to enjoy life in the open afforded by the mild and agreeable climate, makes the country attractive to others than farmers. The number of men of means, able to enjoy the best there is in life regardless of its cost, who are going to California to do this is every year increasing, and these men, as a rule, seek homes in the country. Hence, home-making in the country of California is being extended through two influences: the farmer and the fruit grower who must make it pay, and the wealthy men of the cities to whom profit is a secondary consideration. With both classes, the expenditures on land in order to bring it to the highest state of cultivation, the beautifying of homes, and the land values themselves, are less dependent on profits in California than in any other part of the United States. This at present is shown more clearly in southern California than in the northern part of the state; but there is so little difference in the climatic advantages of the northern and southern parts of the state that in time the same influences will operate everywhere.
