The fruit crop in the Santa Clara Valley
Is much smaller than for several years. The SUI
perintendent of the san jose Cannery says that
they will not be able to put up one-half as much
fruit az was expected, as they cannot get it in
sunicient quantities, They arc at present work
ing about $50 hands, not one halfot the force
they usually run at this time Of thu year. They
are now canning aprcots and blackberrics. but
will soon change TO other fruits Tho canning
season will last until the first OF November
later than ever before Tho timers mt this fac
tory arc making at present about 6.OOO cans per
day. but $1,000 can be turned ont in day when
fruit is plentiful. At the Golden Gate Cannery
1t s hard TO get sufficient fruit. There is a large
demand for pears. and tho crop is unusually
small and of an inferior quality. Tho supply Of
fruit in this county does not reach ono-fourth
tho demand Orchardsts who have good crop
OF fruit this yoar have realized n handsome
profit; One, it is estimated. will clear $4,000
from his crop.
When it is considered that the famous vine
yards and orchards OF Italy and southern
France have hitherto supplied tho demand Of
Europe to the exclusion O! the peaches and
pears OF the Middle Atlantic Stutcs, and the or
anges OF tho South and that. in view of those
facts California and especially Santa Clara VAL
Icy. comes forward as II successful competitor
there Is cause for congratulation.

with considerable force to my mind My recollection
that the church located the south side OF Rose

Amos Broad began TO hollcr,

An analysis Of the compilation produces very
curious results. OF sixteen OF the wonderful
