Cherries are reaching boom prices this
year. They have been selling at Sar
Jose at 10 cents a pound. The crop from
Geiger's ten-acre orchard, three miles
from San Jose, has paid this season
$4,000. Other cherry orchards are paying
$500 to 500 per acre. Not all of them are
producing such figures but he who has

ries and who markets them properly
will receive prices approaching the
above figures. The cherry crop Is light
still there are tons of cherries.-Pacihc
