State for canning and drying, he went on
to say that of something over 100000 acres
planted in fruit trees in the State only
about one-half are in bearing, and conse-
quently that within five years we may look
for total output of fruit of over 800, 900, 600
bushels. Nor would this imply overpro-
duction, for, according to Mr.. Goodsell,
the fruit industry of California is con-
Quoted with such scientific knowledge and
with such well-directed energy that 1t Will
be as easy five years from now to handle
the enormous crop of that period as 1t was
to handle that of last year.
While our fruit production has been ad-
vancing with these giant strides, there has
been little progress in the industry IN any
part of the East, and in some OF the most
famous fruit districts there has been
notable diminution. Disease has so affected
the peach trees of Delaware that last year
only 900 half bushels were shipped from
a region that a few years ago shipped
5000, 900 bushels. The disastrous billiards
of last winter not only destroyed the
orange crop of Florida but severely crippled
the industry by killing the trees Thus as we
advance our American competitors retreat,
and as we have said, it would seem to be
matter of only comparatively Jew years
when the fruit industry will be localized
on the Pacific Coast as cotton In the South,
wheat in the Northwest and corn in the
Mississippi Valley.
It is worth nothing that Mr.. Goodsel
calls attention to the lack of lemon produc-
ton in this country. We are the greatest
lemon consumers in the world, and yet 1t
is said the production of lemons in America
is so limited at the present time, both as
regards quantity and seasons, that all OF
CALIFORNIA; and Florida's products do not
supply 10 per cent of the countrys needs.
After the months of August and Sep
TENDER, when our domestic lemon crops
mature, but for Sicily we should be with
out any lemons whatsoever, except for a
few that Spain sends US during the rest of
the year.
If we are ever to have rival in fruit
growing it will be in South Africa, where
extensive fruit plantations have been made
and whence British capital is already
arranging for large shipments to New
York. From such competition, however,
we have little TO fear. In the first place
South African fruits ripen in the winter
months when our fresh fruits are out OF
the market, and in the second place the
country, having now had its experience
with free-trade tariff tinkering, will be
wise enough hereafter to give every Ameri-
can industry all the protection it needs to
secure it against the blighting results of
foreign competition.

THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS.

A representative of a San Francisco paper
was in Fresno not long ago, and while here he
discussed the present conduct of the CALL,
which paper he did not represent He said
1.-THE CALL, under Its new management, is q
failure. It's editor has gone to the City from
the country, where he had decent local
paper, and he is trying to introduce provincial
ideas into metropolitan journalism. Of course
the attempt is bound to be q failure The
assertion was not disputed, for the reason that
his nearer preferred to bask in the light of his
metropolitan glory and dimly reflect the luster
of his metropolitan intellect, rather than to
enter into an argument with him.
Nevertheless, to point moral which we
would deduce in this article, the assertion shall
here be disputed. The CALL under its present
management is not failure; on the contrary,
it is forging right to the front among San
Francisco papers, and this is the reason of the
very petty dissatisfaction Tor jealousy with
that paper which we have heard expressed, by
representatives of rival newspapers, not alone
in the case we cite
And now to our moral: The CALL is succeed
ing. Why? Precisely because 1t is introducing
not provincial-as the gentleman was pleased
to term them-but cosmopolitan ideas to its
readers. Heretofore the San Francisco press

WORTH A TRIAL.

electrical machines and appliances, re-
Gently, for advertising purposes, set up in
the neighborhood of that city plant by
which they gave remarkable exhibition
of the various ways in which electricity
can be utilized in carrying on agricultural
work.
The story goes that from a single station
electricity was supplied to three farms, a
dairy, a planning and grist mill. The
planer was driven by this power alone.
Grinding was done by water power most of
the time, and the electric motor came into
use only in emergencies. In the dairy a
10-horsepower. motor operated several
pumps and some small apparatus. Each
of the farms had 12-horsepower motor,
mounted on a truck and housed, and moved
about from place to place, to drive pumps,
threshing machines and other things. The
power circuits were carried through the
fields on pole lines in the conventional
way, and the electric motors could be con-

SOME EUROPEAN IDEAS.

While we are talking of so extending and
enforcing the Monroe doctrine as to ex-
clude European interference in any part of
America, some Europeans are discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of excluding US from their
continent. AS rule these discussions
have gone no further than to suggest the
formation of a trade league to shut out
American products from the European
market, but lately there has been observed
tendency to widen the question from
economics to the whole field of politics.
1t seems that our methods of conducting
diplomatic affairs are not altogether pleas
ing to the European iingoes. American
sympathy with Cuba is not satisfactory to
Spain and the Waller affair in Madagascar
is not pleasing to France. There are even
some people who object to the interest
which our Government exhibited in the
condition OF the Armenians, and what is
more surprising, we have been accused of
extending our Intervention into the Medi-
terranean itself. Upon the strength OF
these charges those who have hitherto con-
tented themselves with trying to exclude
our meat, grain and fruit, have taken a
bolder tone, and now declare that our inter-
probation of international law has become
so aggressive it can no longer escape the
attention and vigilance of Europe.
When we consider what fat, flaccid and
fabby thing Grover Cleveland's foreign
policy has been, it is amusing to learn that
there are some people who consider it
aggressive. American sympathy with Cuba
has found no expression from the Govern
ment, and even the act OF the Spanish
officer who fired upon an American ship
has not reused the administration to any
very vigorous effort. We have done
nothing for the Armenians, nothing for
Madagascar nor even anything for Vene-
zuela or Nicaragua. The charge of inter-
vening in the Mediterranean is genuine
surprise, and it is hard to tell to what it
can possibly refer unless some of our
millionaires have been making too much
of racket on their yachts in that classic
sea.
1t is probable the whole of this outburst
is only another proof that weakness pleases
nobody and bunglers irritate everybody.
With a strong, earnest, broad-minded,
resoIute man in the State Department, the
United States would have arranged all
these diplomatic perplexities without sur
rendering anything and without offending
single nation. We would have had firm
and admiring friends where we now have
carping critics. There was never any talk
of excluding American products from
Europe when Blaine was in the State De-
partment arranging reciprocity treaties,
nor was there any condemnation of our in
depreciation of international law when he
was there to enforce 1t. When the present
administration goes out of Office, therefore,
we may look for renewal of foreign
policy that will make US friends instead OF
enemies, and demonstrate by its force the
folly OF any attempt to prevent the legiti-
mate exercise of American influence in any
part of the world.

lives, known as the "Farthest Lights" She
has no children now.

vored to lead the life of country gentleman
and to make as good an article of cheese as he
had formerly made of craftsmanship, but
these simple pleasures appear to have palled
on him. He has now written a novel, which
is soon to be published, in which the secret
