DIVERSIFIED CROPS AGRICULTURAL PLEA FRUIT GROWING A COMMERCIAL PROPOSITION Only Successful Method of Growing Fruit, in California is to Have Enough of Any One Product To Make the Seller a Factor in the Market—Five Acres Sufficient for a Good Living In the Middle West and Eastern States, where annual crops are raised, the desired results are obtained by a rotation of crops; and on the larger farms, so that the farmer may not have all of his eggs in one basket, several crops are raised, so that in the event the price on one is low, due to overproduction or some other cause, the others will counterbalance any loss which may be sustained on this account. Although our agricultural properties are termed ranches, which would imply that they are devoted to the growing of annual crops, they are, in reality fruit farms, where a change in crops is not practicable. After such a place has once been planted the only successful method to follow is to secure the very best possible results from the permanent trees and vines, according to George C. Roedling in the recently issued annual report of the state agricultural society. Fruit growing in California is a commercial proposition and the raising of a product and the marketing of been most satisfactory to growers, and if we eventually succeed in introducing some of the improved types, said to be growing in Syria, in which the hard seed in the pulp of the fruit is almost entirely absent, a wide market for this fruit is sure to be opened up. Among other fruits of lesser importance, which, however, find conditions congenial to their successful culture, are the persimmon, quince, pecan, loquat. Had any one advanced the idea fifteen years ago that, the San Joaquin valley would compete with the district south of Tehachapi in orange culture, he would have been regarded as an idle dreamer. Today growers from the south are coming to Central California, the fact that the same variety of oranges ripens from four to six weeks earlier; that land and water costs less by two-thirds than in the so-called favored orange sections has acted as a magnet in attracting attention to this part of the state. The olive a few years ago was regarded as being adapted to localities where coast breezes prevailed. Experience has shown that this is all a mistake, for the production of fine olives is dependent on a moderately alluvial soil and in a locality where irrigation water is available in the fall of the year to bring the fruit to the highest state of perfection. Apples are grown on the plains, but the high temperature and dry atmosphere of the summer months are not conducive to long keeping, and for this reason apple growing will be confined to elevations of from three to six thousand feet, where fruits combining flavor as well as keeping qualities are successfully grown. All that imply that they are devoted to the growing of annual crops, they are, in reality fruit farms, where a change in crops is not practicable. After such a place has once been planted the only successful method to follow is to secure the very best possible results from the permanent trees and vines, according to George C. Roeding in the recently issued annual report of the state agricultural society. Fruit growing in California is a commercial proposition and the raising of a product and the marketing of it by individuals has not been found practical. I have always been of the opinion that the only successful method of growing fruit in California is to have enough of any one product to make the seller a factor in the market. In other words, a man who devotes, say twenty acres to twenty different varieties of fruits, will never be in a position to secure as much for his product as the grower who devotes his energies to a few products and has enough of each one of them to make it worth while for the commercial man to make him a liberal offer for what he has to sell. There is probably no place in the world where a farmer or fruit grower is in a better position to raise everything he requires for his maintenance than in this valley. It is not surprising that visitors to the exposition of Seattle should find so much attraction in the California building, for all the buildings on the fair grounds, there was none which was filled with such a variety of products as that contributed by California. It is only natural that a resident of Fresno should be prejudiced in its favor. The fact it is located in the center of the great San Joaquin valley and further that it is the oldest as well as the largest irrigated section in this state today, naturally gives it a preference. It is the first section in this state where a demonstration was made of the possibilities of a farmer to make a good living on a twenty-acre tract and in more recent years tracts of 5 acres are serving the same purpose. It is largely due to the efforts of the early settlers that so many experiments were made with such a great variety of fruits, and in consequence of all this, important industries have already been developed or are in the course of development. As an indication of the field open for new settlers I will take the various fruits in the order of their ripening through the season. To begin with the berries, commencing with the strawberry, followed by the lo- STANFORD PROFESSOR ON CROSS-STREET EXPECTORATION That the profuse expectoration on street crossings is a sign of progress as well as a menace to public health is the opinion of Prof. R. R. Long, acting head of the Stanford University department of hygiene. Discussing this theme Prof. Long says: "A friend of mine who studies the ways of street spitters first called my attention to the fact that the expectoration on street crossings in always much more profuse than on the sidewalks. This is noticeable even in cities where there is practically no enforcement of expectoration laws, which indicate that people of their own accord are coming to wait until they get to the street before they expectate. So far as the public health is concerned it is just about as dangerous to split on the street crossing as it is to olives is dependent on a moderately alluvial soil and in a locality where irrigation water is available in the fall of the year to bring the fruit to the highest state of perfection. Apples are grown on the plains, but the high temperature and dry atmosphere of the summer months are not conducive to long keeping, and for this reason apple growing will be confined to elevations of from three to six thousand feet, where fruits combining flavor as well as keeping qualities are successfully grown. All that is necessary to open this field is a railroad to facilitate marketing. There are a number of new fruits, which will be eventually grown here, all of which hold an important place commercially in the Old World. The carob, or St John's bread, a beautiful tree, for aligning our roads, the beans of which are from eight to twelve inches long are very valuable as food for stock; the pistachio, a green almond, used for making pistache candies, and also eaten out of the hand after being roasted, just as we use peanuts. It would take up too much time to go into further details and it is entirely unnecessary for me to dwell on the importance of our alfalfa, dairy industries, the possibilities of raising hay, Egyptian corn, etc. To sum the whole matter up in a few words, it is quite evident that every fruit and cereal adapted to the semi-tropic and temperate zones may be successfully grown here, giving us unquestionably a diversity of products found in no other section of the world. PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY, 141 Broadway, story for the agriculturists New York state shoppers farmers the necessities demanding from these real protection leave their crops from defect pests." It is largely due to the efforts of the early settlers that so many experiments were made with such a great variety of fruits, and in consequence of all this, important industries have already been developed or are in the course of development. As an indication of the field open for new settlers I will take the various fruits in the order of their ripening through the season. To begin with the berries, commencing with the strawberry, followed by the loganberry, dewberries, blackberries and raspberries, have a very important place in the smaller tracts in the vicinity of the larger towns where they find a ready market, or close to a railroad station, where they may be profitably shipped to more distant points. The next fruits to ripen are the apricots, followed by peaches, plums, prunes, nectarines. In early August the shipping of table grapes commencements, which is soon followed by the harvesting of the raisin and wine grapes, and in the latter part of October and November by the shipment of the late ripening varieties of table grapes. Toward the middle of August the harvesting of our fig crop is in full swing and the San Joaquin valley, particularly the central section, gives promise of being the great fig center of the state. It holds this position today, but the quantity of figs produced is so infinitesimally small, as compared with other fruit industries, that the field for exploitation is indeed a wide one, now that we are raising a fig which is identical with the famous fig of Smyrna. Among other fruits, which may be successfully and profitably raised, is the pomegranate. It will adapt itself to localities where the water levels are high and in spots impregnated with alkali. The sale of the pomegranate in the eastern markets has called my attention to the fact that the expectoration on street crossings is always much more profuse than on the sidewalks. This is noticeable even in cities where there is practically no enforcement of expectoration laws, which indicate that people of their own accord are coming to wait until they get to the street before they expectorate. So far as the public health is concerned it is just about as dangerous to spit on the street crossing as it is to spit on the sidewalk, but the public will not be able to appreciate this until it is brought to their attention by better framed ordinances and the attending newspaper comment. Ordinances should definitely state that expectoration on street crossings is a violation of law. "Dampness and shade favor the longevity of germs that are commonly expectorated, such as those of tuberculosis, pneumonia, la grippe, etc. Especially in rainy weather the care free lad who shuffles cheerfully across a number of sloppy, spittle-befouled crossings on his way home from school becomes a disease carrying possibility. Thus the footprints which boys sometimes leave on mother's carpets may contain material that has been recently expectorated by diseased persons." AN EXPERIENCED WAITER At the first meal on board the ocean liner, Smythe was beginning to feel like casting his bread upon the waters. His friends had told him that when he began to feel that way he should stuff himself. He tackled a cutlet first, but it didn't taste just right. He observed to the waiter: "Walter, this cutlet isn't very good." The waiter looked at his whiteness face, then said: "Yes, sir; but for the length of time you'll 'ave hit, h'it won't matter, sir." BARS BIRDS ON BONNETS New Law In Empire State Saves Native Species (Correspondence of the Gazette) New York, May 17.—That fashion will soon cease to prescribe the nuptial plumes of butchered mother birds for the headgear of American women was indicated here today, as the result of the passage of the Audubon bill that Governor Hughes has just made law. Not only aligrettes, but also the plumage of the native wild birds that check crop pests all over the continent, it is predicted, will be made unfashionable by leaders in the millinery centers of this city, whose traffic in such stock will be prohibited by the new law. While the cruel extermination of the aligrette-bearing Herons will be stopped, millions of dollars worth of the country's crop will be saved as the result of this legislation, it is declared by officers of the National Association of Audubon Societies, who have labored for the last five years to secure its passage. Realizing that all trade in aligrettes must end when the Audubon law takes effect, the Broadway feather dealers are today reported to be frantically trying to dispose of their supplies of the plumes for which the White Herons are slaughtered among their starving young. The costly products of this bird butchery are now said to be becoming a drug on the millinery market, where once they commanded fancy prices. Under the circumstances it is believed that the milliners will urge Paris to alter its styles and check further demand for POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS J. C.

The costly products of this bird butchery are now said to be becoming a drug on the millinery market, where once they commanded fancy prices. Under the circumstances it is believed that the milliners will urge Paris to alter its styles and check further demand for these barbarous trophies on women's hats in this country. For the first time in the history of this state it will be possible to prosecute under the Audubon law anyone who makes millinery ornaments out of the economically valuable wild birds. Now that New York has joined California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Washington in protecting these feathered crop guards by law, it is prophesied by agricultural authorities here that much will be accomplished toward cutting down the country's annual crop loss due to insect pests. Following up its victory in this state, the National Association of Audubon societies is now preparing to procure protective laws uniform with that in this state for the birds that guard the farms of every one of the United States. "Though tireless efforts have only just resulted in our obtaining a just protection for the insect-eating birds of New York state, as well as the beautiful White Herons, we mean to keep up our activities until every farmer in America is assured of the cooperation of native birds in guarding his crop," said William Dutcher, president of the National Association of Audubon societies at its headquarters, 141 Broadway. "The recent victory for the agricultural interests in New York state should urge upon all farmers the necessity of immediately demanding from their own legislatures real protection for the birds that save their crops from weed and insect pests."

The usual summer activities in the fruit growing sections are fast assuming normal conditions, and by next month the entire northern portion of the state will be concentrating its efforts on the picking and shipping of deciduous fruit to the eastern markets. The bulk of the shipments to date has been cherries and apricots, but some peaches and plums have been shipped, and before many days those varieties will commence to be prominent in carload lots. According to a bulletin of conditions issued by the California Fruit Distributors, the first sixteen cars of cherries shipped east this season brought $65,000 gross, or a little more than $4000 per car. This is an unusually big price, and fruit men express great surprise at the manner in which cherries are holding up both in demand and price in the east. Never before in the history of the fruit growing industry in this state have such big prices been received and the stock been taken up so readily. The will of Henry Neill, who died in Los Angeles May 15, leaving an estate valued at $100,000, was filed for probate. By the terms of the instrument, one-third is left to the widow, Mary J.

Thursday, May 26 Nothing Better In the shape of an investment can be found than one based on real estate in any part of Southern California. That is an axiomatic statement and needs no argument. If we substitute Orange County for Southern California we make the statement that much stronger, for while Southern California is the GARDEN OF AMERICA Orange County is the richest and most prolific portion of the garden, and the statistics of the past few years will prove that all the towns of Orange Co. will double in population in less than ten years. This being so real estate investments in this county will bring large returns when bonesfly handled. A DIVIDEND Of 6 per cent was paid by the Home Investment Company for the first year. 8 per cent could have been paid by using all the net earnings on hand. This really means that the money invested earned from 14 to 15 per cent, for no business was transacted the first four months after organization; none of the money was in use more than eight months and much of it not over four or five months. If other companies whose first year did not equal ours have, within a few years after organization, been able to pay as high as 26 PER CENT PER YEAR There is no good reason why this company should not be able to do as well.
