PRIMITIVE FARMING

Not until in recent years have the
agricultural resources of the county
been developed to any great extent, but
within the past four years many hun
dreds of acres have been sown to grain.
Year by year a marked increase in the
acreage is shown with corresponding
increase in the value of the exports.
Wheat was long considered an uncertain
crop to plant for profit, owing to its
tendency to rust in wet years and its
liability to suffer from drouth. But the
period of experiment is now past, and
wheat raising promises to become an
important staple in Orange county. as
there is vast area of mesa land here
abouts which has been found to be we'll
adapted to the cereal. The phenome-
enal prices which have ruled in the
grain market this year have also given
great impetus to this branch of agrieul-
ture, and the present acreage (about
3OOO) will be trebled next year. One
successful wheat grower who has been
farming 1000 acres southeast of Santa
Ana, cleared between 100000 and s25,0OO
on his crop this season. and several
others did equally as we'll in proportion
to the acreage they harvested There
are great opportunities for expansion OF
the wheat raising industry in Orange
county, particularly in the southern
part, and farmers have begun to ap-
preciate this fact.
The production of barley has, from
the earliest time. been leading pursuit
in this section, and the returns on the
harvest are invariably commensurate
with the toll and time expended. One
peculiar feature of this crop here is
the spontaneous yield. In many in
stances one planting suff1ces for three
harvests, the second and third crops
springin up in season without toll or at
tention, and producing excellent hay.
The acreage of barley in the county
this year was about $4,000, and the

country contiguous to Santa Ana on the
east and north being especially suited to
this branch of horticulture. Among the
leading varieties of oranges grown in
these localities are the Mediterranean
Sweets, Washington Navel, Valencia
and Kono, while of lemons the Genoa,
Lisbon and Eureka are preferred. The
trees begin to bear at three years, but
seldom attain the highest state of pro-
ductiveness under ten years. At this age
they yield about four boxes per tree, and
the fruit grown here, in flavor and size,
is fully equal to the far-famed Florida
oranges. Almost the. entire year, round
the golden globes and fragrant blossoms
hang side by side on the same tree, and
from June until December the fruit is
constantly ripening. Figures from the
latest statement of the assessor show
the number of citrus fruit trees in the
county to be as follows:
Orange over four years old. 1872, 410,
under four years, 92.62O. Lemon, over
four years old, 7046: under four years,
81 ,S96
DECIDUOUS AND OTHER FRUITS
There is no other place in the world
that surpasses Orange county in the
production of deciduous and small
fruits, either in the yield per acre or in

the quality OF the products. Among
many outsiders who have never visited
this section there prevails an impress
sion-proceeding, no doubt, from the
name "Orange county"-that it's horti-
cultural pursuits are confined to the
growing of citrus fruits. But this err
roneous idea is at once dispelle0 when
the "tenderfoot" sees the districts about
Santa Ana for he will realize that this
branch of the fruit industry is not less
important than the growing of oranges
and lemons. He will also observe that
deciduous and small fruit culture is not
only conducted on an extensive scale for
profit, but that almost every farmer, no
matter how small his holding or what
line Of industry he may follow for live
lihood. has a well-tilled corner of his
place devoted to a mixed orchard, from
which his household is supplied with all
varieties Of fruit. The extent Of this
branch OF horticulture Is shown by the

going forward without cessation
throughout the year. One feature which
tends to make dairying an especially
desirable industry for the small farmer
is the fact that returns are immediate

There are now eight creameries in active
operation in Orange county--three at
Westminster, two at Santa Ana and
one each at Tustin, Fairview and Los

The Austrian Nat,ona, Hymn.

The Austrian national anthem is one
of the most beautiful of Haydn's melo-
dies and of national hymns. The words
of the ''Emperor's Hymn" Were written
by the Jesuit priest l.. l.. Hascbka, and
were set to music by Haydn. On Jan.
2S, 1897, Count Won Saurau, governor
of Vienna, issued decree that "Gott
erhalte Franz den Kaiser" should be
the Austrian national hymn, and on
Feb. - il was by order sung in all the
theaters of Vienna. In England it is ia
miliar as the hymn tune Austria. 1t
is often sung to Newton's lines, "Glori-
ous things Of thee are spoken" and
sometimes also to Kempthorne's Praise
the Lord, We heavens, adore him."
Haydn's affection for this beautiful
melody is well known. He afterward
employed it for the variations in the
"Kaiserquartett, op. &c, No. 3, and
when he was near death and too weak
to stand he was carried across the room
to the clavier and solemnly played the
tune three times, according TO Herr
Pohl, as his farewell to art. William
Gardiner, the Leicestershire stocking
maker and musical amateur, sent Haydn
six pairs of stockings woven with the
air of "Gott erhalte" and other melo-
dies.-London News.
