Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-01

are farmers near this city who
sell from small patches from $40
worth per week in the summer down
to $5 or $40 worth in the winter. There
are men near Lost Angeles who make a
living and have money to spare from the
sale of the berries from few acres.
Reference to the alfalfa crops above
will prove how profitable common farm
ing is hereabouts. Land that yields six
to eight crops, ten to fourteen tons of hay
a year, is worth money. There is home
market for it all. The HERALD few
days ago published letter from Los
Angeles farmer who cut eight crops Of
alfalfa hay this year from five and half
acres Of land, and got eleven tons at each
cutting. or eighty-eight tons per year.
He sold it at $40 per ton, or $3.50 for his
hay crop from five and half acres. The
man who feeds his alfalfa to COWS and
sells the milk in this city, or makes
it into butter for the home mar
ket, will make profits whose figures
will seem mrrvelous to any one who
reads them. These outlines will be suffi-
cient to show what may be made from
our lands.
AREA OF OUR LANDS AND PRICES.
There are 1000, 900 acres of good land
in Los Angeles county. These range
widely as to grade, uses and prices. The
bestlands with water, on the highest
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-01
succumb to the scale. He will succumb

succumb to the scale. He will succumt
to the energy OF our orchardists.
There are 100 budded orange trees
usually planted on an acre. The yield
from these trees is not less than two
boxes to the tree or 200 boxes an acre
The fruit is worth 81 per box on the tree
or $400 per acre. 1t is no rare thing
even now to market $500 and 5000 worth
of oranges from an acre of trees. Lem
ons pay quite as we'll, and lines fail nc
whit behind either.
Here it may be we'll to remark that
there is no section of the United States
outside of Florida, small area in
Louisiana, and Southern California where
citrus fruit culture can be made to sue
ceed. The claim is made that this en-
terprise can be successfully pursued in
Northern California, but the statements
will not bear close investigation. The
unwary may be duped by misrepresenta-
ton, but in time-and it will not take
long-all will learn, some to thier
sorrow that these statements are true.
There may be small pockets in the hills
of peculiar situation where small
orchards will succeed, but beware. To
judge from the trees planted in such
places that others will flourish in the
region around is delusion.
The grape is another industry of great
promise and profit. 1t, too, has been
by parasite which has some
what impaired the vineyards. That,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-01

too. will be conquered. A rem
edy will be found in the future,
and there will be shipped to the
East thousands of carloads of our
grapes year. Much more of the crop
will be dried for raisins or cushed for
wine and distilled into brandy. Grapes
pay 500 per acre year, if the crop is
sold, uncured. If dried and packed in
proper shape for raisins, or crushed and
cured into wineth profit is twice or three
times as great. The largest winery in
France is the La Fitte. There are
fifty-one acres in the property. The sale
of wines from this little patch per year
comes to 100000. There is no reason
why the same methods pursued IN the
handling of our crop shall not reach as
happy results.
There is no necessity of explaining
how large results are to be reached from
the cultivation of the deciduous fruits.
These products are excellently suited to
our soil and climate. The fruits come to
great perfection here and find a market
at home. The writer has offered in times
past 81 900 Ler acre for suburban peach
orchard, and been refused. The owner
stated that he was making good interest
on that price by selling the products
OF his orchard. From berries there

miles from the railroad stations.
The climate is perfect, and close to the
place are churches, schools, and all the
best influences of modern life. These
lands outside the town sites are sold as
low as low as $3.50 per acre in small par
cells. The sales are made on long time
at low rates of interest. Great induce
ments are offered actual settlers who
will put good improvements on their pur-
chases. Persons accustomed to pay $40
an acre for wheat lands producing fifteen
to twenty bushels per acre, may think
these prices high. But when respect is
had to what grows here, and what profits
are reaped, it will appear that twenty
acres of these lands are better than 100
of the others.
