that he cannot afford to lose the stimulus to

periences with others. "Iron sharpeneth iron,

Prof. Her.zSa, an Austrian ecouo-
mist and statesman, has discovered that
to run the various departments Of in.
dustry to supply the 22.o00.000 Austrians
with all the necessaries of life, by
modern methods and machinery, would
take the labor of only 615000 men,
working the customary number of hours.
To supply all with luxuries would
take but $4,000 more workers. He
further calculates that the present work
ing population of Austria, including ali
females, aud all males between the ages
of Is and so, is 100000 in round nun
bers. His calculations further led him
to assert that this number of workers, all
employed and provided with modern
machinery and methods, could supply
all the population with necessaries and
luxuries by working thirty seven days
year, with the present hours. II they
chose to work sou days year. they
would only have to do SO during LBS
hours per day.

variationsto every other country, not ex-
cepting the United States. There is 3

enormous production Of the future? To
some OF tho growers it looks Ike an ex-
tremely serious question, though GCner-
al Chapman believes that the outlets
necessary to the continued expansion Of
the industry will be readily found.
Whether they will or not, however, does
not concern the present writer and read
er, but it is certain that unless there is
a check i'll the expansion Of fruit grow

California fruits of first class quality
are selling in New York and Chicago
at prices which would not have been
deemed possible 10 or years ago. Yet
there is still an unv7arrahtable difference
between the prices received by the grow
ers and those paid by the consumers.
Dried prunes, for instance, that are sold
in California for shipment at 4 y cents
a pound, are sometimes sold over the

California fruits. This difference the
growers consider too great and detri-
mental to their trade, and they attribute
it chiefly to the heavy transportation
charges. These cannot be lowered per-
haps until there are more competing
lines Of rail between the east and the
west Such lines have not been built as
! yet because of the difficult nature Of the
| territory across which they must run
! the very mountain barrier that protects
| California from the chilling blasts Of
the far north. It is possible that the
fruit growers will combine, when they
have become sufficiently well to do, and
| build such line of road.
But the building Of railroads to get
their products east is not the only thing
the California fruit growers must do if
they would market their fruits profita-
bly,. They must make experiments OF
many sorts for the purpose of learning
how to produce more cheaply, to dry
and cure more economically and to pack
tho fruit more satisfactorily. Every
thing considered, they have done Won
ders in these directions, for at the be-
! ginning they were nearly all new to the
business, but there are still occasional
complaints Of inferior fruits received in
the east and there is still room for i'm
provement in methods Of growing, cur
ing and packing II. l. DEXTER

than that Of the current. Then the soil
Of California is of wonderful richness
and depth, and when all these coadi-
tions are understood it becomes less diff
fcult to understand why the products
Of California are so various and lavish.
1t is really the variety and not the
quantity Of output that has made Cali
fornia's fruit crop so famous. AS mat
ter of fact, crops of single varieties of
fruit on much smaller areas are larger
every year than the entire output of
California. For instance, in 1898 of Gp-
pies alone France produced 1864, 093,-
SOS pounds, or more than AZ, 900 car
loads, and this crop of one fruit was
greater i'll carloads than the combined
production of all Californian fruits,
green and dried. nuts, raisins, vegeta-
bIes and wine, shipped out OF Califor-
MIA in either 1898 or 1894. This state
ment is made On the authority of Gen
s, eral Chapman. above quoted, and so is
this other statement that six counties of
New York state alone, in good years,
produce 20, 600 carloads Of apples, or as
much as the combined shipments Of all
fruits, wine and vegetables from Cali
fornia in 1893.
From these statements it is clear that
the fruit production in California has
just begun, and it is fact, as stated to
the writer by Mr. E L. Goodsen Of
New York, who is about as well post
ed regarding California fruits as any
one on the footstool that at the present
rate of increase in fruit producing acre
age it will net be more than 10 or 20
years before California will produce
more fruits than are at present con-
suIned in the United States The i'm
