 Did it ever strike you how compla- gently the man who has a small irri- gated farm looks out from under his own vine and fig tree on financial pan ics? If there is any man in the world who can live without money it is the man with small tract of land on which he can turn the water at will. If there is a man in the world who is fixed to get hold of money when mon- ey is scarce it is the man with small tract of land irrigated. He can live on what he produces, and he has so many little things to sell that he can get money if any one can. In fact he is nearer independent than any man on top of the earth. There is no place so well adapted to irrigated farming, with so great an abundance of water as the Casa Grandevalley. IL should be cut up into small farms and every farm irrigated and every farmer inde- pendent of financial storms. It is inn possible to put a man in Il corner who has twenty acres of good land on which he can turn the water at will

The Price of Aprieots.

 The fruit. growers Of certain DOT tions Of the state are said to be dis couraged because no more than seven cents pound is being offered for dried apricots. It is difficult to see where the cause for Encouragement is found. If one could be assured of receiving seven cents q pound for dried apricots for series of years he need ask no better thing in the horti- cultural line. At that price twen- ty-acre orchard would assure him a handsome living, and one of twice or three times that size would give him q competence in q few years. It costs not to exceed two cents pound to gather apricotS. dry pack and deliver them in sacks at the cars within d reasonable distance. That leaves q margin of five cents pound profit
 An apricot tree in full bearing. or at six or seven years of age and upward will produce from 250 to 300 pounds of fresh fruit. and freqently even more. The fruit dries down in the propor- tion of about five to one. so that at the rate mentioned a tree will pro- duce fifty to 100 pounds of dried fruit. At an average of 100 trees to the acre i10S is nearer the mark.l the net re- ceipts at seven cents pound for the dried fruit would be S250 and 9500 to the acre. Granting that the lower figure is an outside one, though it is not. it will be seen that there is yet a decent living profit" It's true in- experienced persons may make it cost them considerably more to dry their fruit than the two cents a pound men tioned. but that is their own fault. The best and cheapest methods to fol- low are well known and there is no reason why the limit of two cents may be exceeded.

Irrigation Information.

Farming land in the United States, In sections having an nayerage rainfall, are worth from S2O to S60 an acre. Arid or so-caled desert" lands, without irrigation. are dear at twen- ty-fiye cents an acre. With irriga- tion unimproyed lands in Southern California are worth from $50 to S400 an acre. Water can be placed on des- ert lands at cost of from $l0 to Ss5 an acre. If twenty-five cent land and and sl9 water can be added together and be made to foot up a total of $50 an acre value. what is irrigation worth to the arid states:
 Unirrigated farming lands have no certainty of producing crop of any thidg depending on rainfall. Irrigat- cd lands can always be depended on to produce any crop planted in the fertile earth. The difference in the value If the two classes or lands is the difference between certainty and chance.
 The International Irrigation con gross Los Angeles, October l0-l5, lS93l will discuss the question of lrri- gation In all it's phases. and the sub icct will be handled by men of wide experience and national reputation. The government will be represented in this congress by q special officer of the interior department, who will im- part such information as is in posses sion of the government on this i'm portant subject.

YleId Of on Of Different yarlstle. of olives.
IFrom the Los Angeles Times.I

 Olives grown on well drained hlll- sides yield more oil than those grown in moist locations. as an excess of moisture in the soil means an excess of water of vegetation in the fruit. Again if the olives are somewhat dry when the trial is made. they will give a larger per ceatage of oil than if they are taken fresh from the tree, so that in comparative tests of different yari- cities it is important that all condi- tions be the same if we would arrive at correct conclusions. The following results were obtained by tests made at the experiment station of the Uni- versity of California:
 NeyadlIo Blanco. from Fresno. - Der cent of oil.
 Manzanillo. from Fresno, % per cent of oil.
 Rubra, from Fresno, 2l.97 per cent. of oil.
 Pcndulina, from Fresno. 2o.5percent Of oil.
 Atro-yilacea, from Fresno, ls.l per cent. of oil.
 We learn from bulletin ninety-two. in which the tests were reported. that the Atro-yilacea was the only variety in exactly the right condition of ma turity for oil making. but that the results may be considered approxim- ately the relative capabilities of the different varieties tested.
 By the same tests:
 Neyadillo Blanco. from Berkeley. yielded 30.3 per cent. of oil.
 Manzanillo from Berkeley yielded ?. 42 per cent. of oil. Neyadillo Blanco from Mission san Jose, 3l.5 per cent. of oil.
 Mission, from Mission San Jose, 24.9 per cent of oil.
 The report does not include Rubra, PendHlina and Atro-vialacea from Berkeley and Mission Sap Jose. Doctor $. NJ. Woodbridge of the Ag- ricultural Chemical Works, Los An geles, made tests of olives grown in the orchard of Alfred Wright. Pomo- ma, fresh from the trees, with the fol- lowing results:

THE rIsTacHIo TREE.
TFrom rhe Irrigation Age. ]

it ID dS du DiHdHituldl tltt indb lb is described in the well-known Hen derson's Handbook of Plants and General Horticulture. Under this title. it ought to occupy higher place in the parts of the south where the winters are temperate.
 But the pistachio tree is also fruit tree of a real value. It's fruit, known under the name of green almond, can be eaten as desert, raw or roasted; it is also much sought after by confec- tioners and pork butchers. The first use 1t in the fabrication of sugar plums and nougats of the best quality for pertaining creams and ices; the others for larding fowl galantines, tongues and other dainty dishes. Also the pistachio is always sold at a high price and is looked upon as an excellent produce in the countries where it Is grown.
 The pistachio tree is originated from the oriental part of the Mediter- ranean basin. It Is now cultivated q little everywhere on it's borders; that means that it does not suffer from cold. At Eddy. \. M, in one of the parks of MT. Charles W Green, we know of one which has perfectly well stood the exceptionally cold winter of this year. The culture of the pistach- io tree has been tried in California, but without great success, it appears. The climate of this country being well adapted for it's growth. it is pos sible that those who planted it were not acquainted with some of the special wants of this tree. We will sum up briefly the most important.
 The pistacho tree. or 'pistacia varar belongs to the family Of the s.Terebinthacc;e. Like the palm tree and carob tree, it is dimcious: by sowing. one obtains about ten per cent. of males, which is too great a proportion. It is a rather small tree, but very thrifty and vigorous, and able to resist drought. This is due to it's long and strong tap root. which goes and finds its freshness in the deep layers of the soil.
 This long root gives the tree spe- cial character. If one breaks it dur ing the transplantation, the tree will die or become languid: if you plant it in wet or irrigated soil, it becomes too vigorous and does not give fruit; if you plant it in a dry soil, in taking care not to hurt the root, 1t will pro- duce but will not live long.
 There is way of getting out of this difficulty; that is to graft or to bud the tree. It can, if you like, be grafted on it's own roots, and it will produce. even in the most fertile soil. But there is still better. There are two species upon which the pistachio tree can easily be grafted. They are the mastic tree and the ''turpen- tine'Iree" 'sPlstacia lentiscusn and ''Pistacia terebinthus"l On their roots, it gains in strength and fertili- ty. In the countries where it never freezes take the mastic, by prefer ence; more north, the turpentine.
 With these facts the cultivation of the pistachio tree becomes most sim pie.
 Take baking powder can; arrange it as we have already spoken of con corning the care of tree: fill it with good earth: put in each can three seeds of mastic tree or turpentine tree; if more than one comes up, cut the oth- CT down under the ground; when the ens that is left is apout s foot high,
