COUNTY NOTES FULLERTON There is no other district in the world where the orange is so highly cultivated and grown to such perfection, on a scale so extensive, as it is in Southern California. In none of the great orange growing sections do we find groves equal in extent and so magnificent, or given such intelligent attention, as those in our own southland. Here the culture of citrus fruit is carried on after the most advanced and scientific methods. We therefore find many large, beautiful and productive orange ranches in Southern California. The best known of all these, indeed the most famous orange ranch in California, and travelers who have visited it have said, in the world, is located near our own city of Fullerton. This is the celebrated Santa Ysabel ranch, owned by Charles C. Chapman. This ranch is perhaps visited by more people who are interested in the culture of the orange than any other in California, and is likewise more talked about than any other. Because of this general interest in this property the News has frequently been requested to "write it up." We find after a little investigation that this cannot be done in a paragraph. Mr. Chapman's property consists of about two hundred and eighty acres in oranges, apricots and walnuts. It handling his oranges. Since time, now over ten years, there has been the sole and only brand of oranges in that great all orange markets. Mr. Chapman grows other ties besides the Valencia Lakes ships some fifty cars of Walt Navels, has Mediterranean Malta Bloods, and is an grower of the St. Michael sortment enables him to shipping weekly from the timings in January until November New York handlers therefore his fruit to supply the trade ten months of the year. The nature of extending the orange over so large a part of the year has since been followed by shippers, has proven highly to the industry. F. D. Mackay, a well-known man of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Carswell, a prominent and published young woman of St. Joseph were married here on Saturday and Mrs. Mackay returned Angeles by auto, being acceded by Miss Frances McGarry, present at the marriage.

Chapman will prodiomas Rev A H Ball Mr. Chapman's property consists of about two hundred and eighty acres in oranges, apricots and walnuts. It is situated in what is conceded to be one of the most fertile agricultural sections of Southern California, and is especially adapted to the culture of the Valencia Late orange. This particular variety has been made famous by this ranch, and it in turn has made both the ranch and its owner perhaps better known than any other orange property or orange grower in America. Here have been grown ten years oranges which have sold at the highest prices of any in the world. This alone is a distinction which would also give Mr. Chapman a name second to none among growers and shippers. He has been most generously advertised in the fruit trade papers of the east as well as in the California agricultural papers. We therefore have a certain local pride in both the ranch and its owner, and take special pleasure in presenting the following items secured direct from Mr. Chapman. The Santa Ysabel ranch proper was secured by Mr. Chapman in 1894. Additional property has been purchased from time to time until now he has one of the largest orange properties owned by any single individual in California. This ranch had been set largely to Valencia Late oranges by Mr. Littlefield, a former owner, now residing in Anaheim. Mr. Littlefield's attention had been attracted to this variety of orange by some fine fruit grown by A. B. Chapman of Lamanda Park, the gentleman who introduced it into Southern California, and also by some grown by Hon. O. M. Ross of Glendale. Judge Ross had put out quite a large grove of Valencia Lates, and it was from this that the buds were taken by Mr. Littlefield for his trees. California fruit growers in planting to this variety of orange by some fine fruit grown by A. B. Chapman of Lamanda Park, the gentleman who introduced it into Southern California, and also by some grown by Hon. O. M. Ross of Glendale. Judge Ross had put out quite a large grove of Valencia Lates, and it was from this that the buds were taken by Mr. Littlefield for his trees. California fruit growers in planting the Valencia orange seem to have followed their usual method of all running pell-mell after the same product or variety. Consequently considerable nursery stock had been grown and a few orchards set out by the time Mr. Littlefield put out his grove. However, by the time these earlier orchards came into bearing the Valencia lates were in disfavor. The nursery stock could not be sold, and much of it in the nurseries as well as many trees already set out were rebudded to Washington Navels. This was about the time, according to the News, Mr. Chapman came into possession of the ranch which was largely set to Valencias, and it was a discouraging proposition that he had to face. There was no special demand for the fruit. The Washington Navel, St. Michael and Mediterranean Sweets found buyers, but no one seemed to care for Valencias. However, being convinced of its superior quality, both as an eating orange, he determined to bring it to the attention of the eastern fruit trade. He tried Chicago, but that market did not take kindly to it. He then sent a representative to New York to see what could be done there. Arrangements were made with P.

Dairymen and others who have identified themselves with the movement for better sanitation and the enforcement of pure food laws were interested in the announcement that during the sojourn in Santa Ana of the state board of health sanitation exhibit William F. Snow, a director of the state board of health, delivered an illustrated lecture on milk. The meeting was held Tuesday night at the city hall.

These show sanitary dairies, the speaker explaining how the law is complied with in other communities throughout the state. Pictures were also shown depicting poor sanitation, and the lecturer explained to his audience how the defects were remedied. This lecture is to be given quite largely in connection with the work along dairy sanitation being prosecuted by the health board.

The association in winding up its affairs WESTMINSTER Members of the Orange county celery growers' association this week pocketed the leavings of the golden harvest of the 1908-09 season. The association, in winding up its affairs for the season, is mailing to growers what is left of the money held out of the receipts to cover expenses and possible losses, the amount aggregating $22,000. With this $22,000 added to that already distributed, the members of the Orange county celery growers' association receive the exact sum of $449,814.82 above all shipping and selling expense for the 1908-09 crop. For the season the association growers received an average of 25 cents per dozen bunches for all grades and varieties of celery. The prices were the best realized in the history of the industry in Orange county. Outside the association, which shipped through the California vegetable union, were two or three independents, who sent out of the county about 160 carloads of celery. With the amount distributed by the outsiders added to the sum mentioned, there is $500,000 for the celery growers of the county for the season. The total shipments for the season from the county are put at 1572 carloads. Of these the association shipped 1,-422 through the California vegetable union, taking 238,369 crates to carry the product, which numbered 1,805,-064 dozen bunches.
