 In the following paper l shall try and give only facts and figures, which know to be strictly reliable
 Little attention has been paid to the cultivation of the olive until the past few years, and the only variety known here formerly was the Mission, brought here by the Spanish Padres from Spain, and planted at the old mis- sions. Some of the trees are still standing though planted a century ago mostly neglected, or at least but slightly cultivated This proves the longevity and tenacity of the life Of the olive, and that when once rooted it will hold its own even under ad- verse circumstances. We have au- tllentic records of it's living to be over three hundred years old, so when we plant an olive orchard, we are not planting merely for our own benefit, but for future generations.
 The olive. because Of the moderate care which it requires and the co- piousness and value of its product, may be considered of the most yalua- bIe of trees. Though 1t is limited in it's possible extension. the Italian growers already look forward with dread to its being cultivated in other countries, and now California and Southern Ariz0ua seem likely to prove formidable rivals. But the fear would seem to be unfounded, as thc only source of supply for olives pick led and pure olive oil in the United States is limited to this state and Southern Arizona. The demand for the pure article is constantly growing both abroad and at home. and it is doubtful if the production abroad will any more than supply the Europ- can market. The worlds production of olive oil is as follows:
 Italy ...........,.....-. 1o,10-OD gallon' suain ........... l5n OoOOc0 gallon. France ................. g,0o0000 gallons
 The population of Europe is three hundred and thirty-ninc millions, more than enough to consume the out putof oil of the oliye-growing coun. tries. In the light of the above fig. ures We have but little to fear from foreign competition. Italy produces 10000. GOO gallons of olive oil. The market value of this oil in Italy is not less than sl20.O00,0O0, and that means more money than the value ol the wheat exports of the Onltec States in 1883. and twice the value o the wheat exports in 1888. We have in Southern California and SoutherI Arizona. lands enough, without inter rupting our other plantings, to equa this output of olive oil. If we would set about olive planting with the zea that has attended our orange an( raisin planting we would iu twent, years produce as much olive oil a Italy.
 According to official reports the i'm portations of olive oil and pickles fo the year 1891 are as follows: 6O9,9O gallons of oil value SEAL 4s9. Nalu of plckled olives, s320. l63. Total l. e59, e5s. Now add our own prcduc for 1891 of ll,0ll gallons, which at

 Now few words to the olive grower who expects to make a success with the olive. He must be careful and start right, and so l will start with the soil In regard to soil suitable for the olive, it will live in any soil, ex- cept dry and compact or wet one. It is safe to say that the olive pre- fers soft, friable, moderately cool soil. and one rich in lime and potash; a soil that the roots could extend through in all directions, and that would admit of the free circulation or air and moisture. The olive will four ish wherever it's roots will penetrate easily and there Is plenty of lime and alkali. such such as a loose soil or rocky clay, or sand Of granite or vol canic formation. While the olive will live on many different soils, and pros per in several, there is one thing l wish to mention. and that is the ab- surd advice given by those who ought to know better, to plant olives iD the washes and poor soil that will not grow other fruits. There is no doubt that the olive is very hardy and ten acious of life. but it will not stand abuse like that. have tried it and speak from experience. 1t needs as good care and soil and as much water as any deciduous tree: and the better the soil and cultivation, the better the fruit and larger the yield. do not mean to irrigate as you would cit rus trees, but it pays to cultivate life olive much as you would other fruits, 1 People who plant out olive orchards in old washes where there is no moist ure or nourlshment in the soil and ex pect profitable returns are very apt to be disappointed
 | consider the best age at which tC plant the olive to be two or three years-for this reason. that the one year old plants and roots are apt to bt soft and sappy, and the loss Will DC much greater in transplanting then from the nursery to the orchard thar the older trees which have their stems and roots hardened.
 The proper distance at which t' plant olive trees is from twenty t' thirty feet, as they need a grea amount of sun and light to bring thu fruit to perfection. If planted closer lin a few years every other tree vii have to be taken up and that vii leave too much space.
 The olive should be planted as ear ly in the winter as tie land can b suitably prepared lof course that wll depend on how carly the rains come, and especially on dry lands they mus be planted as early as possible so as U

 to transplant and should be given tn
