RIVERSIDE
The Orange Crop Not So Unpromlsing a. Re-
ported


RIVERSIDE, July 21.-"Ferninst" the
report of oranges dropping in this val
ley to such an alarming extent. mention
can be made Of one twenty-acre orchard
where the trees are carrying an i'm
mense crop. larger than they will be
able to bear UP under without considera-
BILE propping. 1t Is the ranch of w. J.
Mcintyre, just under the large cana
system. Ten acres Of this orchard is set
to navels, and the other ten to fancy va
rieties. The navels are especially well
loaded. and all the oranges on the trees
will mature, as the fruit has ceased to
drop all over the valley. There are no
doubt many other orchards throughout
the valley which will make nearly as
good a showing as Mr.. McIntyre's, and
with but few exceptions there will be
fair yield in numbers and the fruit will
be much larger and consequently heav-
Ter than usual. So, taking everything
into consideration, there Is little doubt
but that the income for the coming
years crop will be fully up to late years.
