California Lemons,

1t is doubtful whether California
lemons could proftably be exported to
England, for Sicily lemons, which are
generally produced in abundance, hold
the market there. says Redlands Facts.
At an auction sale of them in London,
short time ago, $1,000 boxes were
disposed of at a price lower than ordi-
nary. But California ought, at the
least, to relieve the United States
from dependence upon foreign coun-
tries for lemons. The lemon groves of
that State are so exceedingly produc-
tive that profits from them as high as
$500 an acre were not uncommon last
year. Here is one thing that affects
the California lemon raisers; they
want too high profit upon their crop
Hence it is that the average annual
importations of this fruit from abroad
for years have amounted to nearly
5000, 900 boxes, while California
grows only about one-tenth as many
boxes.

Orange and Lemon Trees.

The bottom in the decline of prices
for orange and lemon trees has evident
~ been reached, as there is at present
an upward trend and an increasing de-
mand (says the Rural Californian.
The old stock has been pretty we'll
cleaned out, many trees being dug up
and burned to make room for other
crops, while many more were sold
at ridiculously low prices. Good
lemon trees are now bringing from
40 to 10 cents each, and first-elass
Washington Navel orange trees from
10 cents to 81 each. If we have
good season of rainfall for 1S96-97 the
nursery business will be materially
strengthened and stimulated.

A Fruit Quarantine.

California fruit-shippers who have
customers in Seattle, Tacoma or other
points in the State of Washington
must now take special care to guard
against the consignment of wormy
fruit to that region, says the s. f.
Call. The following circular from
the freight department of the Southern
Pacific Company has been issued:
FRUIT QUARANTINE IN WASH
INGTON.
To Agents: The State Board of Hor-
ticultures of the State of Washington
has announced that it will quarantine
against all fruit when infested with
worms.
If, upon inspection by the agent or
representative Of the State Board of
Horticulture, the fruit is found to be
wormy, it will be detroyed or returned
to shipper at shippers expense.
On shipment of fruit consigned to
Washington charges must be fully pre-
paid.o guarantees from point of ship
ment to destination. At same time

mportant to shipners.

An important decision has recently
rendered by Judge johnson (says the
Fruit World, which is of decided in
terest and Importance to both growers
and shippers Of fruit The decision
simply means that a shipper cannot re-
fuse to receive fruit on contract,
simply because he could not ship it.
The case was that of H. A. Root VS..
The National Fruit Association. The
defendant firm had contracted with q
man named Kripp, to take his entire
crop of Bartlett pears at rs cents per
box, the same to be delivered between
June goth and July 18th, 1894. The
strike came on and the defendants re-
fused to comply with their contract.
Kripp assigned his claim to H. A.
Root, 1who brought suit, and Judge
Johnson gave Root Judgment for ST..
1875, saying that the strike was not
sufficient defense.

London shipments.

Undoubtedly, at certain seasons of
the year, under certain conditions,
London can be made a profitable
market for California fruits, says the
N, Y. Fruitman's Guide, but the
record of this season-as no doubt
growers interested will attest--proves
that it has been impossible to export
with profit. 1t is generally under
stood that most of the fruit that has
been forwarded has been shipped under
a guarantee to the grower by those in
terested i'll the project. If this is so,
then growers can continue under such
terms. but certainly if they are losing
all the money that has been lost in
England this season, no possible argu-
ment can justify continuing, under the
present conditions, the expectation of
California fruits.

California shippers. 1t may be that
wormy fruit from Oregon has caused
the action of the State Board of Horti-
culture.
The shipments this season,of decid-
uous fruits from this State to points
east of the Rocky Mountains show a
falling OF in quantity ..as compared
with last years traffic. Up to Septem-
Der 80, 1895, the quantity sent East
amounted to 1855 carloads. The ship
ments up to September 30 of this year
were 3627 carloads. Each car CON
tains twelve tons, and the falling off,
therefore, amounts TO DAG tons. The
cost of transportation was not in
creased, but in some respects lightly
diminished.

The death is announced of George A.
Sheridan, for many years celebrated as
among the most brilliant campaign
orators in the United States. AL
though little more than boy during
the war, Sheridan rose to the rank of
General in the Volunteer service and
won distinction for daredevil courage
in the field. He has made speeches
in every Presidential campaign since
the war until this time. He was an
inmate of the Soldiers Home at Wash
ington, having sought that retirement,
owing to infirmity and poverty, some-
thing over two years ago.

Grapes are Healthy.

Dr. Dupoury, French physician,
considers in an article printed in
Paris journal the hygienic value of
fruits. DR.. Dupoury divides fruits
into five classes, each of which possesses
special hygienic value-the acid the
sweet, the astringent, the oily, and
the mealy. To the first, including
cherries, strawberries, raspberries,
gooseberries, peaches, apples, lemons,
and oranges, he accords great merit.
Cherries, however, he prohibits entire
ly to those affected with neuralgia of
the stomach. Strawberries and rasp-
berries he recommends warmly to
those of bilious, plethoric and equity
temperament, and denies them to those
on whom diabetes is present or sus-
pected. OF the sweet fruits he con-
siders that plums are of special n.y.
gienic value, and even preventive in
govt and particular rheumatism. To
the grape he accords the very first
place. As this is the season for that
fruit, his remarks thereon are particu-
larry applicable. He is an ardent add
vocate of what in Europe is called the
grape cure. In this cure grapes for
several days form the exclusive ali
ment. The patient commences with
the consumption of from one to two
pounds daily, with gradual increase
to eight or ten pounds. After few
days of this diet a marked improve
ment in the general health is noticea-
BILE. The appetite improves, the diges-
ton becomes easy and rapid, and in
creased capacity to Withstand the

recommended to the anemic, dyspeptic,
and consumptive, in diseases of the
liver, and in govt.

The MyroboIan plum.

To bacteria is sscribed by the learned
the diseased conditions of the tissues
of the bark of so many prune and plum
trees, says Mr.. Leonard Coates in the
California Fruit Grower. The I'M
learned think the evil often due to the
clustering rays of the sun. The China
man sums it all up in too muche
warm" Either or all may be correct.
Bordeaux mixture may prevent, or
partially remedy the former; timely
shading and proper cultivation will
probably prevent the two others, but
is it not possible that something is
wrong with Myrobolan stocks Why
should this one stock be equally
adapted to lands light or heavy, atmos-
pheres humid or dry, hilltop or val
ley : sAnd yet so it has been planted
from Oregon to Southern California
The advent of Myorbolan was hailed
with delight in the first instance some
twenty years ago or more because it
would not SUCKER The demand for
it grew into frantic craze, the writer
having had letters of all sorts, one de-
manding pears" on Myrobolan root,
and another insisting that all his trees
must be on Mary Bolandw 1t is a
fact that nowhere else in the world is
this stock so commonly used as in
California. 1t was tried in all the
fruit sections throughout the United
States and has not met with favor
No less an authority than J. H. Hale,
who has hundreds of thousands of trees
in orchard in Georgia, has discarded
it and uses Mariana. This subject
should be looked squarely in the face,
and is one to which the Experiment
Stations should give more attention.
The habit of suckering is but a minor
evil, and is generally caused by plow-
ing too deep or too near the trees, some
roots being more prone to it than
others. So far as my observation goes,
| think very highly of the Mariana as
stock. Myrobolan is much the
cheapest plum stock. Planters run
after cheap trees, from root up. Sub
sequent returns will doubtless follow
in the same line.

The Sheriff Had Eleven and Expected to

Years ago the courts in western New
