Olive Culture in sonoma County

Captain Guy E. Crosse is a leading olive
grower of Sonoma County, and the Santa
Rosa Democrat gives the following de-
scription of the captains extensive inter
ests in the way of olive culture:
This famous olivarium is perhaps the
best example of an olive ranch in Sonoma
County. The orchard is well distributed
over Rncon Heights, and includes 5000 trees
from one to ten years old of the Mission
variety. All the rocky heights are crowned
with olive trees, with evergreen and
fourishing tops. These trees draw their
substance from a rocky soil, which may
partly explain the absence of scale. Many
of the trees at Rincon Heights are heavily
laden with olives, which as yet are quite
green and very bitter to the taste. The
berries ripen about Christmas.
The olive is much harder tree than

Importance of Fruit.Growing.

q. G. Peck furnishes the following sem
sible article to the Denver Field and Farm :
When prices of general farm products,
such as potatoes and the grains, reach the
present low quotations the charges of the
transportation companies for shipping to
market absorb so large proportion of the
total as to greatly discourage the producer
and in these days of overproduction in
many of staple farm crops it is wise from
business point of view and source of
economy to look toward something.
Hence fruit culture appeals to US, not only
on accountof self-interest or on the ground
OF individual prosperity, but as well on ac-
count CT the happiness of our fellow
citizens and the grea tness of our country
To tend the vine and the tree is one of
the noblest vocations of men. VIII it pay?
is naturally one of the first questions that
presents itself. This, in my estimation,
depends largely on the grower, whether he
makes 1T success or not. The idea that
fruit culture is an easy calling and regu-
larly profitable IS delusion, and that idea
has been the cause of good many fail
ures. To grow fruit profitably requires at
tention, and one who will not or cannot
give 1t attention cannot hope to make it
success
The enemies of the fruit-grower.. are nu-
merous and active, and if he expects to
succeed he must be equally active. To be
successful man must not only grow for
the money that is in the business, but he
must have a love for the work. The per-
feet method OF growing fruit is by irriga-
ton as practiced in the Rocky Mountain
States, and there is no doubt but that the
decadence of once famous Eastern fruit
growing sections is largely due to the
droughts, which interfere SO greatly with
the thrift and productiyeness of a bearing
tree.
Few products of the soil are more re-
munerative if properly taken care of than
an orchard and tract OF small fruits, and
probably nothing that will disappoint US
more if neglected. But the greatest value
to be derived from fruit-growing is IN the
supply which every owner of the garden or
land may have at his own door and of his
own raising, except in years not prolific in
fruit, and they are few. If we fail to get
crop of fruit once in awhile through late
frosts or cold winters, it should not dis
courage US and deter our planting wear
after year, for most of the pleasures of life
are made up of anticipations of the future,
and if we forget to plant, some of them are
never realized, and in the end we have no
trees or vines to beautify place and make
it appear homelike.
