REAL ESTATE.
A Country Realty Agents Opinion
on Frnit Culture.
The Net Profit obtainable From six-Year-Old
Trees Now Il the Time to Buy Fruit
Land ofsrings-sales-Not

Inc general agent for large fruit land
colony at MADEIRA, Fresno County, Paul B.
hay, was asked yesterday to give his opin-
ION on fruit culture as an investment to
which he made the following reply:
believe that no safer or more profit
able investment could be made. When
trees and vines from five to six years old
give net return of from $50 to $500 per
acre annually it is hardly necessary to dis
cnss the question of fruit culture as an In
vestment. California dried and fresh fruits
are receiving universal recognition in the
leading markets on account of their SUI
perior quality, and with but limited terri
tory to furnish the supply it is hardly TO be
supposed that the profits in fruit culture will
ever tall below the present standard, which
assures fortunes to those engaged in the
business. 1t is only question Of a very
short time when all the most desirable land
II this State available for Embarrassing will
he well on its way to Improvement, and
those Who may be disposed to invest in i'm
proved land then will either have TO pay
high price for 1t or 60 without. So that now
is the most favorable time to invest in this
promising industry"
