for the very fortunate owner OF fruit
farm in this locality. At the end of
comparatively few years small sum ex-
pended in twenty or forty acre fruit
farm will realize surprising returns and
many are awakening to this fact, as land
is being bought up on the mesa, Dia-
mond valley, Hemet, Florida and Win
chester and throughout the entire val
ley for fruit raising. Register.
THE COYOTE BOUNTY.
There is much opposition arising to
the coyote bounty act which is now in
force, because of the large amounts of
money which the counties will have to
dispense to coyote killers, because it is
believed that scalps are being sent in from
the world outside of California, and be-
cause the coyote is claimed to be pretty
good sort OF beast anyhow, and if he is
exterminated the iack-rabbits which he
holds in check will multiply 30 that they
face of the state. Probably none of
of great weight by the fock-master, who
would like all bordering coyotes killed,
as we'll as the home product. Even if
the opposition to the bill should develop
strongly, there is still year and half
before the bill can be repealed. II Rural

THE PROTECTING EUCALYPTA.

walnuts have made prodigious growth.
His corn is siIking and his beans are
fully up to the promise in our best sea-
sons. All this vigor and good promise
is attributable direct to the windbreak
in the west, as crops adjoining, on land
as good, are not half as good or promis-
ing -[Lompoc Record.
NOTES.
Spuds can be bought at the buyers
own price at Calabasas. In fact they
can be had almost for the digging.
In trip through few of the foo thill
orange groves we find that the navels
promise large crop. They are now as
large as an apricot Azusa News.
H. w. Salzman informs us that he
has discovered by actual test that blue
gum leaves placed about the bottom,
sides and tops of boxes containing honey
comb, will prevent the moths from
troubling it in the least. This is val
liable discovery, for the moth does in
finite damage to comb. b.--[Lompoc Rec

A correspondent writes to the Azusa
News: "In your last issue you say that
the dryers have combined and only agree
to pay $40 per ton for apricots. think
before the season is over you will find
that they have paid all they could afford
to, and the ranchers will find to their
sorrow that they had better have sold
at $780,"
1t is quite evident that the muscat
grape crop is going to be very large this
year. The vines are loaded and the
fruit is maturing in excellent shape. A
great many new vines are coming into
bearing this year, consequently our rails
in output will be largely increased. The
company vineyard OF 100 acres is love-
ly sight Escondido Times.
L. G. Cummins OF Riverside, who is
interested in the nursery business, is
here for few days. He reports sue
cessful anti-gopher experiment. Wea-
zels have been introduced for the ex-
termination of gophers, rabbits and
mice. These blood-suckers have cleared
rodents from seed houses and from the
soil. Before this when tracts were irri-
gated an average of twenty gophers a
day would be flooded out, whereas none
come out now from the holes.-San
