olives In Fresno.

Mr.. Gustav Essn, the well-known
and successful yineyardist in Fresno,
gives his experience In olive-growing.
IL appears that the cutting Is more sue
cessful TO plant than the tree. which
usually refuses 10 grow the first year.
and large portion Of the transplauted
trees die. while the cutting Is very sure.
Mr.. Eisen says; "In the last issue Of
the Merchant, in Mr.. Pohudorn's most
valuable article on olive-growing. q mis-
tdo In regard to the aprouting Of my
olive truncheons has crept In. Mr..
Pohndorf says that so far none have
sprouted. am happy to say that al
ready. six weeks or two months ago,
epery one had sent up bunch Of shoots,
strong and healthy. many OF which to.
day measure two feet or more Ia height.
II OF these shoots only one had been
suffered TO remain, have no doubt ]
would now have trees OF five or sir feet
In height, but as ! wanted all the shoots
for propagation, it was my policy to al
low all To remain. see no difference in
growth in tho two varieties, 'MaDza-
Milo and 'Nevadillo blanco. and have
every reason TO believe they will provo
as much at home here ns in Seville. The
spot selected for the olive orchard Is
sandy hill sixteen feet high, the 'sand'
being rather stiff and containing an
of lime 40 necessary to the
success of tho olive. According to Prof.
Hilgard, ths quantity OF lime is rs much
as i.7G9. which certainly is an abund-
ancc. Besides these varieties | raise the
Pichoiiae. which | will use as stock for
grating, aud some plants Of the Mis-
sions. The former seems to do well, IL
easily grown and traDsplanted, but the
Mission | consider as less valuable. The
first yenr when transplanted it generally
loses all its leaves. II grows only very
poorly from cuttings, something like the
Aestivalis grapes, and bears only when
six to seven years old A good many
olive trees are situated all over our
county. but the majority are far too
young. A few years ago quite an ex-
element was started here in regard to
olives. Miss Austin lectured On the
same and many olives were planted
But they were all of the Mission variety,
lost their leaves as soon as transplanted
and the first season did not grow much
or any. This was taken as sigu Of
failure and the trees were mostly dug
up. Those, however, which remained
are now bearing fruit.
