%l We have gone thus exhaustively
sl through the list in order to show:
ssA First. That the profits from oranges
H are universally large, and generally
E| prodigious.
ls Second. That the scale bug can
"a be kept out of orchards by proper care
81 and good cultivation.
81 Many of the orchards at Duarte
8sD are preparing to plant more orange
trees the coming spring. Some will
set out as many as 1000 young trees.
Three large nurseries at this place do
a thriving business in supplying their
neighbors with trees.
The cultivation of the orange in this
section is not dead, and will not die.
Where care is taken the industry is in
as fourishing condition as it ever was
Poultry Raising In Southern Call
fOrnia.
No place in the world is better adapted
for poultry raising than Southern Cali
fornia. Many whose experience has been
disastrous in this country will be ready
to deny the truth of this statement, but
the writer has had over twenty years
practical experience in the poultry bust
ness, breeding both for fancy and profit,
and from observation is more satisfied of
it's truth every day. Nearly all the fail
ures can be traced to improper care, or
are the result of too close in-breeding.
A gentleman and well known othe
people Of this section, gave the writer
the result of his experience. He started
with flock of thirty hens while eggs
were cheap and butchers meat dear,
eggs and chickens were used freely in
his family, and at the end of the year he
had profit of $122, besides adding
thirty pullets to his flock. Many others
in this section have done as we'll as this
Still, we would sound note of warn
ing to those who would conclude that if
thirty fowls will give profit of 1922 a
year, ten times that number would give
correspondingly large return, or
81 ,220 year. 1t is fact we'll estab-
lished that with the increase of the num-
