The Kingdom of Italy makes annually
$50, 900, 900 from the olive tree besides
having the wood for fuel California
can do the same thing. We have plenty
of uplands where the olive grows to
perfection, especially between San Luis
Obispo and San Diego. Los Angeles
county ought to make as much from
olives as from oranges. The San Fer
nando valley is an admirable place for
the growth of this historic fruit which
is both food and medicine. II is not
too late 10 plant them now. We hope
our nurserymen will take pains to sup
ply themselves with olive cuttings and
let farmers know where to get them.
