Almond OF Peach.

A few years ago large numbers Of
almond trees were planted in this
valley with the expectation of a
epecdy and large profit from the
nuts. In but very few instances
has that hope, thus far, been rea-
lixed, and in consequence there Is a
to regard these invest
ments rs worthless, and in some
1natances the trees have been cut
down as cumberers of the ground.
We cannot undertake to say
whether this tree will or will not
prove profitable; the only conclu-
sion that we have been able to ar
rive at in the matter has been that
orchards grown In immediate prox-
unity to the sea have thriven and
produced much more bountifully
than those further inland. To
what cause this is due we do moi
know, but the correctness of the
fact stated eau be easily verified,
aud II found to be as we have stated,
Il will be worth the while of those
owning almond orchards to investi-
gate the matter and ascertain the
cause. But In any event, there is
no necessity to cut down the trees.
This valley has not, as yet, q super.
abundance Cf fruit and 1t is well
known that the peach can be sue
cessfully grated or budded on
almond stocks, in fact, probably
ono half the almond trees in this
valley are now growing on peach
roots. Let those owning almond
orchards, who are satisfied that the
almond Is unpofitable, change their
trees into peach trees, a feat accom-
plished at slight expense and with
little loss Of time and we shall soon
have not only our markets stocked
with full supply of that delicious
fruit but superabundance for can
ming or drying.-Santo Barbara

east of Iron Point. The railroad
boys scarcely know how to account
for it. Some think the high wind
which prevailed, carried fine parti-
