Through the courtesy of Supt. Nethertor
who returned from visit to Yuma last
Friday, we are in receipt from Col. Dor
rington of some of the finest lemons we have
ever seen except others of the same kind
grown at Yuma. They are large and bright
as virgin gold and as full of juice, the es
sential of good lemon, as the cureG lemon,
of Southern California are, and these were
picked from Col. DorlIngton's trees the day
before we received them. If Yuma don
take leading rank as a citrus producing
county then We miss standing guess we
made years ago.-Mesa Free prcee
