Does Fruit-Growing Pay?

Captain P. It. Adams, of Tustin, tells
us that if the fruit-growers of Southern
California would give three-fourths Of
the attention to their orchards that the
Eastern farmers do to their grain fields,
and then economize in managing their
properties, the aggregate of profits from
fruit culture would be unparalleled in
the whole world. The Captain has had
crop OF English walnuts for four years
from his forty trees, and says he has
never sold any crop for less than $475.
He recently sold mis- last crop of the wal.
nuts for exactly $531. He watches his
trees as carefully as merchant would
his ledgers, he knows all about them
in fact. he makes thorough business OF
fruit culture. The average proceeds from
each walnut tree on his place this season
has been 1922. The crop was not a
very good one either.
Besides his walnut trees he has 1000
navel orange trees, which he looks after
with unusual care, and last week he was
given standing offer, of two weeks, OF
$3 ,280 for the crop on the trees. He sold
last years crop for $4,000 cash down,
| without picking an orange himself. He
has also four acres of prune trees that
have borne for three years. Last Sep
tember he sold the whole crop for 1896.
He will plant more walnut and orange
trees this season. He has spent but $3.50
for labor during the past twelve months.
Now here is still another practical illus
tration of what a twenty acre farm in
Southern California in this locality will
do under the management of an efficient,
wide-awake man. We venture the state
ment that no land owner or farmer OF
horticulturist east of the Rocky Noun.
tains has made such profits from the soil
of twenty-acre piece of property at any
time since the war. And yet there are
some people who will sit about the gro
Gerry stores or whittle up dry goods boxes
for hours at time, and dolefully tell
you that there is no money in fruit cul
ture in Southern California. We insist
that there is, if the orchardist attends tc
his business, Pomona Progress.

REAL IRISH fRIEZE.
The Chief Features Which Distinguish 1t
from All Other Cloths.

The Chief Features Which Distinguish 1t
from All Other Cloths.
Among the various textile products |
of Irish manufacturing skill most ex-
tensively known is the justly celebrated
Irish frieze. Its manufacture has come
down from time immemorial. The
process since it was first woven on the
primitive hand loom, and the subse-
ouent manipulation to prepare 1t for
the only garment for which it is pre-
eminently suited, the cothG more (blg
coat or overcoat), has been handed
down from one generation of the Irish
people to another, until at the present
day the rapidly-increasing steam power
looms of the Irish mills are engaged in
| manufacturing friezes which are max
ing their way by sheer force of real
merit in the best markets of the world.
| The chief features which distinguish
frieze from all other cloths, is its abb
solute imperviOusness to rain, and its
extraordinary durability. In these it
resembles the famous blankets of the
Navajo Indians. OF course, we are
speaking of real Irish frieze. not the
counterfeit article, which is quite
plentiful in American markets. These
points of excellence are secured through
the peculiar methods of manufacturing
the longest and best WOOL selected
from the best Irish feeces, without
which there can be no genuine Irish
frieze. The process in itself is quite
simple, but tedious. demanding much
time. care and attention.
Nothing but washed wool of the
longest and strongest fiber is used.
