Olive Growlng In CnIifornia.

Olive growing, olive picking and the
manufacture of olive oil have become
Il highly important iuuustry in Cali,
fornia. This year the industry has a
remarkable boom, and the dealers are
entirely unable to meet all the orders
they have received. This is especially
the case in the Pomona valley. Every
body engaged in the olive trade-grow,
ing, making oil, or acting as brokers'
is making unusual profit, and there is
demand for five times the amount OF
the crop.

as the CRAFTS then have a strong root
to start them into growth, and as the
scion is quite deep in the ground the
tree soon gets on its own roots. Some
growers only tie the unions together

deteriorate and lose their strength, owing to the

Esparto Grass.

EspartU grass has recently been recon-
mended for introduction into the United
States as a fiber plant. 1t is a native Of
Spain, Portugal, Greece and Northern
Africa, thriving upon sand and gravel in
arid situations, and growing especially
we'll on limestone and gypseous soils.
1t is not cut, but pulled, sometimes
twice year. 1t can be grown either
from seeds or divisions Of the roots
Ten tons of dry espdrto, worth from $40
to $25 per ton, can, under favorable cir
cumstances, be obtained from an acre.
In Spain, where'now theproduct amounts
to from 10000 to $4,000 tons annually,
it formerly ran to waste or was used only
as fuel. Now, such is the demand for it,
that land considered valueless few years
ago is worth thousands of dollars.
About $4,000 tons are sent to Great
Britain annually from Spain. In the
latter country it is used in the manufao-
ture of ropes, basketsssandals, mating,
etc, while in England it is largely used
in making ropes and paper. Good
writing paper is made from it without
the admixturc Of any other material, and
the price Of this paper varies from 5000
to $3.50 per ton There is certainly an
opening in this country for some enter
prising individuals to grow this grass,

ditto was looked upon as a brilliant ex-
plot, and meant promotion, especially
if you threw certain dash of romance
about it in your official report.
Unfortunately brigands had become
scarce. The people were getting more
civilized and the vendetta was dying out.
If by chance a man did kill another in a
row, or do something which made it ad-
visable for him to keep clear of the po-
lice, he generally botcd to Sardinia in
stead of turning brigand. This was not
to our liking; for no brigand, no promo

rascal, Quasiana by name, who, to
ayenge the murder of his brother. had

He had been pursued with vigor, but had
escaped, and after time the hue and cry
had subsidized aud he had been forgotten.
Fifteen years had passed, and the man
had lived in seclusion, but our Project,

capture him with no more success than
his predecessor We were beginning to
despair of our promotion; you can,
