of seeding great saving is made. In

FRUIT GROWING.
The great interest heretofore displayed
by the State Board of Agriculture in this
most prominent and successful interest
of California is still inherent and it's
watchful eye is ever on the alert to spy
out advantages for the followers of this
industry.
The question of production and quality
having been long since settled, the all
absorbing topic now upon this subject is
the marketing of our products. While
we are not wholly welded to the plan
proposed for the formation of a State
Fruit Exchange, we believe that plan oi
cooperation can be inaugurated that
would insure permanency by reason oil
inducing large percentage of growers 10
take an interest, thereby preventing
dissolution after exhausting the efforts OF
the few, as now proposed.
A plan that will induce the masses in
terested in the subject to cooperate is al
this particular time most necessary, and
must be accomplished sooner or later.

WHEAT GROWING.
The low prices reached by wheat dur
ing the season just passed warrants pre-
sentatlon herein OF statistics upon the
cost OF its production.
Inc United States Department Of Agri-
culture recently issued a circular upon
the subject and asked for returns upon
the following points: What is the aver
age rental per acre OF wheat land? What
Is cost per acre of preparing land? What
is cost per acre Of seeding? What is cost
per acre for threshing? What is cost per
acre for marketing?
The rule OF rental of wheat land is a re-
turn TO owner of every third sack Of the
yield, equaling about six bushels.
Leaving out the question of rental, as
that hgures but little in this State upon
the cost OF wheat production, we will
give The actual cost per acre of growing
wheat by the landowner exclusive of in
terest upon land valuations, as many
holders have as many valuations; we
Will let the profits that accrue represent
interest, as very few OF our wheat-grow-
erS paid anything like the value they eS-
| innate their land TO be worth, and the in
creased value should be figured as their
gain and not be charge against its pro-
| ducts. upon this basis we find the actual
cost OF growing wheat per acre to be as
follows:
