The apricot crops Of Messrs. Abbol
Kinney, Banbury, Wood, Pierce, vos
burg aud others in the foothills have
been purchased by firms in this city and
will be brought in by rail from Pasadena
aud Lamanda Park. Lack of conven.
lent market heretofore has now been
overcome by the intention of the San
Gabriel Valley Railroad to transport
fruits in a manner to insure quick and
safe handling, making reasonable rates
and returning empty packages free of
charge to shippers. 1t is expected some
two hundred tons of deciduous fruits
will be brought to Los Angeles this sea-
son from stations on the above-named
road. Agents will be established at
shipping stations, who will furnish boxes
to shippers and receive and ship the
fruit. One box will be handled and ac-
corded the same facilities as thousand
by the railroad, in its own interest, thus
endeavoring to bring out large quantity
OF deciduons fruits heretofore gone to
waste or left on the trees because of the
lack of market or expense of reaching
the same conveniently by small
growers. Parties in this city are
prepared this season to take two
hundred tons Of figs alone, thus
by improved processes making mar
ket for a fruit heretofore considered
commercially almost valueless. They
will also utilize large quantities of other
California fruits which their enlarging
and experimenting for several years past
enable them to handle for crystalizing,
syrups. &c. Their plant now includes
thirty horsepower engine, run with
crude oil and neerly forty pans or ket.

The Acting Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture, in reply to a resolution of the
House, making inquiries concerning the
stocks of corn and wheat in this and
other countries, and the demands
OF consumption and prospects of
production throughout the world,
has transmitted an exhaustive COM
pilation of statistics by Professor
Dodge, Statistician of the Department
of Agriculture. The tables show that
the worlds product of wheat in 1885
was 3,ll0, 900. 900 bushels. The re-
quirements of consumption, 3. l65, 600, :
600 bushels. The present deficiency of
5000, 900 bushels is drawn from the
previous years surplus of l25, 200, 900
bushels. They find the products
of Europe a medium; those Of India
and Australia heavy, and heavy produc-
tons in the United States. The sup
plies of the coming years corn in Aus
trAlia, India and South America, already
harvested, are probably about 80, 000,-
900 bushels less than those Of last year,
while those of the United States
promise fally 100,000,0 900 more than

Because date culture has SO far not
been success in California, or rather
has not been practiced at all, there is
really no reason why we should not
have in the future date palm orchards
or groves in those parts of Califor-
mia adapted to their successful growth.
California, and perhaps parts of Ari-
zona, are the only two sections in
which there is any possibility that
the date palm would flourish. The
requisites for date culture are, first. heat
enough during the summer to mature
the dates; second. the absence of rain
during the summer. That we have both
these conditions here in this State is
well known. 1t is true dates are not
likely to bear pro6tably everywhere in
California, but we have so many locali-
ties similar in climate to Northern Africa
that date culture here is not only posi-.
BILE but probable. The fact that date
palms have borne fruit here should sat.
isfy US on that point. Ripe dates have
been produced on the Wolfskill place in
Yolo, and San Diego county, and date
palms may be seen growing in every
county in the State. The counties whose
climate is most similar to that of North
ern Africa, and therefore most likely to
produce ripe dates, are the southern
counties of San Joaquin valley, parts of
the Mojave desert, and parts OF San Bsr-
nardino and San Diego counties.
The winter frosts are not absolute OBJ
stacles to the culture of the date. In
many of the GASES OF Africa, where the
finest dates are grown, ice is sometimes
formed to the thickness of one-fourth Of
an inch. This would kill young plants,
il is true, but larger trees are rarely
hurt. The date flowers begin to show
in April, and by October or November
the dates should be fully ripe. As
there are male and female trees of the date
palm, it is necessary to have few male
trees in each grove. A single date tree
will never prove profitable anywhere, as
the fruit will never set. In planting
seedlines, of course, we cannot tell the
sex. but the chances are that in grove
we would get more male trees than are
necessary. The proper way to propa-
gate dates is from suckers, but as no hne
varieties have ever been grown in Cali
fornia, suckers cannot be had. In Africa
many varieties are grown. The hnest
are several inches long and highly ha-
yored. Date trees begin to bear when IL
or IA years old. In some places. near
Fresno. there are small groves OF date
palms. the largest having go odd trees.
Most of these have shownflowers for two
wears, but have never set any fruit.
These small date palms are seven to
eigbt wears old from seed. We think it
a good plan to plant date palms in the
peach or apricot orchard. BY the time
the latter Is exhausted the dates may
begin bearing. Fresno Republican.
