SMALL RANCHES.
What Ten Acres of Southern California
Land viii Produce.

What Ten Acres of Southern California
Land Will Produce.
L. E. Steele, who attended the meet
ing of the Pomological society in Po-
mona recently, has given us some
figures that show how good living
for his family OF five people his 10
acres of various fruits made him in the
San Gabriel valley, west Of Baldwin's
Santa Anita ranch. 81 think" said he,
"my experience can be duplicated al
most anywhere in Southern California
by the right man, and it proves the old
time argument" Mr.. Steele bought his
place and a water right in 1885 for
$1,000. He set out four acres Of prunes,
two acres of apricots, one acre of alfalfa,
two acres to oranges and half an acre
to lemons. He built house for $1,000
more. He got living for five years
from poultry, selling vegetables and
strawberries and doing day labor until
his property came into bearing. Since
then he has taken it easier, but is still a
most industrious, strong man.
Mr.. Steele has kept accurate account
of his ranch finances. He shows that
he sold crops from his place in 1891 for
$18l3 and the net profit was $1725. The
money came from the following sources
From alfalfa, sS2 from apricots, 1915;
from prunes, $433; from oranges, $7l5,
and from lemons $267. For this year
his receipts from his 10 acres have thus
far been 1887 and he has a crop of
oranges that will probably bring him
5000 more next March. His recent sales
of crops have been as follows: From
apricots, $44S; from prunes, 1875; from
alfalfa, $40, and from lemons $l34. Mr..
Steele and his two boys do all the work
on the place, but $l32 has been paid for
extra labor since January lst Il Pomona

The Aboriginal Nomenclature of South

able sans and santas of the Spanish
