When the leaves wilt down in the
middle of the day it is not so bad. but
when they stay wilted in the cool of
the evening give them drink. Let
them suffer little for water at this
time of year, it will force the tap-root
to reach down for moisture. In irri-
eating beets we take every other row.
and ind that the water, when run
slowly, will irrigate both. Then we
alternate the next time and run water
through the other rows, giving the
beets equal moisture ON both sides,
After irrigation cultivate as deep as
you can-practically s inches. It is
necessary to loosen the ground around
the beet. so that it may have chance
to develop. We take little Ashamed

the ground, and all that it does is to
lift the ground little. but it loosens
it up around the beet.

Beets require sunlight to

Harashlps of Tsleeranh poles.

Yes" said Joseph Bonner, superin.
tendent of telegraph for the Southern
Pacific railroad, telegraph poles along
the line have hard time. Particularly
is this SO out west. where the poles are
costly and stations are few and far be-
tween. Now, out in the Arizona desert
the poles are played the deuce with gen.

that picks the posts absolutely to pieces.
thinking there may be insects inside of
the wood. They hear the humming and
haven't sense enough to know what
causes 1t. Then near the hills the black
bears imagine that each pole contains q
swarm of bees and they climb to the top
and chew the glass insulators to pieces !;
but the sandstorms are the things that
create the most havoc When the winds
blow strongly, the sand is drifted at a
rapid rate and the grains cut away the
wood at fearful rate. It was common
thing to have an oak pole worn to a
shaving in days time, while l have
seen poles just ground to the surface of
the earth during single storm. Things
got so bad out there that the company
decided to substitute steel poles for the
oak and cedar, but that didn't remedy
the evil at all. The sand just wore away
the metal on each side of the pole until
she center was as sharp as razor, and
all the Indians used to shave themselves
on the edge. We finally managed to fix
things-just painted the poles with soft
pitch. The pitch caught the sand and
now every pole is about two feet thick
aud as solid as rock. New Orleans

few years have succeeded in attracting
attention, and with the large increase
in production from year to year it is
only a question of a comparatively
short time when they will be recog-
nized as strong competitor of the
imported article, and eventually they
viii supply the markets of this coun-
try, says the California Fruit Grower.
Their quality is superior to the Medi-
terranean product in some respect, one
OF the best points being that they are
practically seedless. The method of
handling California lemons are crude
and must be greatly improved upon,
but with an increased output men of
experience will take hold of this line
and handle the fruit in proper man.
ner and push it to the front. There
are three leading varieties, the Lisbon,
Eureka and Villa Franco. There
seems to be difference of opinion as to
their relative keeping qualities; eli
matte conditions. soil and latitude
probably account for this; one variety
may do better in one section, when
the other will do the best in another
locality. Different varieties have been
packed together in the same box, and
sometimes the weaker goods have de.
cayed. giving California lemons an un-
deserved reputation for keeping poorly.
such difficulties are being overcome as
packers gain experience, and it is
noticed that some parties are handling
and packing their stock in a very
credltable manner. During the season
OF lS95-96 about 800 &rs OF lemons
were shipped East, while the season
now beginning will probably witness
an output of double that quantity.
From assessors returns it is learned
that there are today 23l 900 bearing
lemon trees against 995, 900 trees not
yet bearing. From this it is easy to
calculate that the yield will, before a
great many years, exceed our total
of today. The fruit that
is being clipped now shows very fine
quality as a rule, and some really
handsome goods can be bought at pres
ent. Shipments now made are mostly
only partially cured; sending the fruit
in this manner has proved satisfactory
to the trade, as they take good color
in transit or can be brought to fine
color by keeping in banana, or other
warm room at the destination. OF
course care should be used and no fruit
OF dark green color permitted to go
forward. There is no regular market
price on lemons in California. Every.
one seems to get what he can.

Competition in Oranges.

A correspondent of the Fruit Ex-
change Review of Los Angeles, en-
route East, and writing from Chicago
under date of November 80, says that
in Denver he saw a car of Washington
navels shipped by packer and shipper
outside of exchange circles. 1.-The
fruit was green, and from remarks |
heard from buyers, inferred that they
were not giving satisfaction, being
green and sour. They were selling
from $3.25 to 1915 in a small way.
The general impression of the trade
was that they did not want fruit until
it was fully colored. The fruit must
have been picked two weeks ago, but
| consider that fruit that will be
shipped about December 1 will give
very good satisfaction.
II got some information from an in
terview with man from old Mexico
who had been to Chicago with several
carloads of Mexican oranges and lines.
He tells me that six years ago they
planted out 1880 acres in oranges and
lines on land which cost them Ia cents
per acre in gold coin. which would be
about 30 cents per acre in Mexican
money. He claims that the land does
not have to be cultivated to grow
oranges. They plant them in the
virgin soil, without cultivation, ard
they grow and bear we'll without any
care whatever. These are Seeding
oranges, and this year they cut about
twelve carloads from the six-year-old
trees and have enough lines to ship one
carload per day for the next six months.
Upon arriving here saw some of

ton i'll very good condition. This
will give you some idea of what Cali.
fornia will have to compete with in
the near future. With only duty of
10 cents per box, cheap labor and
growing oranges on land that cost less
than so cents per acre against land in
California that will cost $3.50 to 5000
per acre is a hard proposition to CON-
pete with.

Cooperation of Fruit-Growers.

At the recent session of the Fruit
Growers Convention at Sacramento
the report of the COMMITTEE on CO.
operative Fruit Unions was read. says
the San Jose Herald. The report was
to the effect that a State or central
organization cannot be reached at pres
emit owing to the Discrimination of some
growers to come in and the inability
of others, who are mortgaged to COM
mission men and have to consult them
as to the disposal of their crops. The
Committee, however, agreed that much
good might accrue through local CO.
operation.
The advantage of cooperation is i'll
proportion to its completeness. But
because it cannot be made complete is
no reason why it should not be carried
as far as possible. Every local agree
ment among our fruit growers to come
to an understanding and to market
their product through their own agents
is just so much gained IN the fight for
independence. Every fruit union has
its effect on prices more or less. The
more combinations there are made the
sooner the mortgaged men will get
clear of their obligations and in shape
to join in the fight.
The coming year promises well for
our fruit growers The season has been
thus far suspicious; there will be no
great surplus left over from the pre-
vious crop to hold down prices; the live
ly wheat market tends to general good
times; there will undoubtedly be some
revival of business. Under these cir
the demand for our fruits
should be active and prices remunera.
tive. These conditions will help any
action in the direction of cooperation
to control the market.

More Green Oranges.

1t would seem as if the rind on the
orange growers scalp was considerably
thicker than the rind of the orange he
grows, says the Los Angeles Times.
From all sides, both in and out Of
season, he has been warned against re-
peating the folly he committed last
year, that of shipping unripe oranges
to Eastern markets. Yet, in the face
of all that has been said, and of his
untimely experience, be keeps on this
season repeating his errors of the past
one. The last Eastern journal which
has drawn attention to this is Garden
and Forest of New York, which says:
Considering the large importations
of Jamaica oranges which have been
selling slowly and at a loss almost all
of the season, the untimely haste of
California orange-growers in shipping
their fruit East seems quite unwise.
The idea of the California growers APP
pears to be that the loss of the Florida
crop has made a scarcity which has
not been supplied. There has been in
tense rivalry in the orange growing
sections of California in the matter of
making earlier shipment, and the
first carload was forwarded from the
foothills near Glendora, in the southern
part of the State, on November s, and
from Porterville two days later, with
shipments to follow daily Recent
rains and cool nights are said to be
favoring the ripening and coloring of
the fruit, but there can be little doubt
that these oranges are not matured
and properly ripened, aud that the
fruit is at disadvantage. Florida
oranges are now regularly in trade
here, consignments of several hundred
boxes having been received during
the past few weeks, besides a car lot.
The crop of that State is estimated at
125, 900 boxes From Jamaica 49,
1874 barrels have already reached this
port. besides Mexican oranges, the first
carload of which was sold here last

oranges are already on the way to this

ranean oranges.
