 An old settler informs me that he planted olive cuttings eighteen years ago in the San Fernando valley. that they commenced bearing three years after planting, and have borne good crops of extra large olives ever since. Water is about twenty-five feet from the surface: he has never irrigated the trees.
 l found that trees situated under our irrigating system, if watered at all receive t from four to five times during the season, and while the olives examined were as large as any have ever seen, I could see no difference ln favor of the irrigated ones over the non-irrigated, either in size or yield.
 That persons interested may have an opportunity to examine the fruit and make comparisons, will place in the Chamber of Commerce in LosAngeles collection of some fifteen varieties of olives. The label on each jar will set forth the name of the variety it con tains, on what kind of soil it was pro- duced and whether grown with or without irrigation.

ANatural I,rIdge of Agate.

A mining expert sent to investigate some Arizona properties for Denver capitalists, recently returned and re- ports the finding of most remarka- ble natural bridge, formed by tree of agatized wood, spanning a canyon forty-fve feet in width.
 At some remote time the tree had fallen and become imbedded in the silt of some great inland sea or overflow. In time the silt became sandstone, and the weed gradually passed through the stages of mineralizing until it is now a wonderful log of solid agate. In after years water washed and ate away the sandstone until canyon forty-tiye feet in width las been formed, the flinty-like substance of the agatized wood having resisted the erosion of the waterilow. Fully fifty feet of the tree rests on one side and can be traced, but how far it's other end lies buried in the sandstone cannot be de- termined without blasting away the rock.
 The trunk visible above the canyon varies in size from four feet to three feet in diameter Where the bark has been torn away the characteristic col CTS of jasper and agate are seen. To the naked eye the metamorphosed wood is beautiful. Under micro scope or miners magnifying glass the brilliant colorings are clearly brought out in all their wondrous beauty.

The soil is not constantly washing from the uplands to the low lands. Time is not wasted in going to market and disposing of the products of the farm Better roads are built with less cost, and as consequence teams are in better condition and wag- ous in better repair
 Small farming is encouraged under the colony life of the irrigated empire, aud one acre is made to produce as much as ten or even more in the rainy regions. Intensive agriculture is des- tined to become universal. and in no region can it be so successfully prac- ticed as where the colonies are con ducted on the cooperative, plan under perfect irrigation systems. A much larger variety of products can be cul- tiyated in the irrigated districts. be- cause of the market demand for larger quantities of first class fruits and cere- als. From financial. social and edu- cational. or economical standpoint there is no inducement equal to colony life under d well regulated irrigation system. JOEL SHOEMAKER

A decision has just been rendered by Jadge Van Dyke of Los Angeles. which is'of the utmost interest to those concerned ia reclamation of arid lands. He holds in effect that rivers in arid regions running subterrane- ously through layers of sand, silt and pebbles are governed by different laws than those rivers which have well de- fined riparian boundaries and flow above the surface of the ground. Per collation.. as he defines it with regard torivcrsia the arid regions, can only be applied to waters percoiating at the head dRatces of river in the noun tan~. b fore any well defined course is manifested hy the flow of the river proper itsClt After having a well deined course. ali water, gathered near the river he declares Go ae part Of thc river water.

OLIVE TREES AND IRRIGATION.
By John $. Calkins.

ilt JNNN ~. tu4hlll~
 In the Los Angeles Times of NOyem- bef there was copied from the Cal ifornia Frult-Grower an editorial on Che olive, which states that large sized berry is very much the best for pickling, and that the best results ever obtained by Mir. Lelong were mainly due to seven irrigations in one season.
 Since the above appeared MT Lelong has explained that for oil he would not have the trees irrigated.
 Wishing to compare the size and yield of fruit from irrigated and non irrigated trees. l recently visited nu- mcr0us orchards in this section, and l beg leave to give you an account of the object lessons. as they appeared tome.
 There is an orchard here five years old, growing in q sandy wash, which has borne two crops; the trees are of remarkable size and yigor though never irrigated. They have not been cultivated since last June. 1t is seventy feet to water.
 Another orchard, of the same age, on sandy loam bore fruit this year for the second time: it was bought by a pickling firm at cents per pound, the highest price paid this season for olives. The orchard has never been irrigated, it was cultivated once this season. The well on the place is about 100 feet deep.
 An orchard of a little more than 4 acres, about six years oldon land some what heavy, produced last year 76Ss pounds of olives, which were sold for pickling ats centsper pound, the high est price paid last year in the market The owner was offered six cents per pound for this years crop, but de clined the offer, preferring to pickle 1t himself. The trees were cultivated once this season; irrigation is not prac- ticed. Wells in the neighborhood are over lOo feet deep. Tie trees in this orchard are very large for their age
 About frc miles from Pomona on a mountain ridgesome eighteen hundred feet above thesea level, on very hard red clay land, is a neglected orchard .aat has never been irrigated. neither has it been cultivated for two years or more. The trees appear to be four or five years old and bore fruit last year. found the fruit of good pick ing size. l do not think that water could be reached by digging down leo feet

As an all around fruit producing re- zion it may safely be said that an arid country with good irigating facilities stands immeasurably above region of haphazald rainfall. The curing and transportation of fruits, and thelr cul- tiyation as well, are greatly facilitated by dry atmosphere. Water used in properquantities and at proper times will add greatly to the quality Of fruit as well as to the quantity, ard to in- sure this the orchardist cannot safely depcnd upon the natural rainfall.
