growers De equally honest anu AUNT
that taking the profits out of one busi-
ness to put into some other buzineSs is
not business, especially when the sec
ond business is buying some ones else's
property on margin to hold for rise:
Why should he debit California or fruit
growing with his failure? A mar can
not easily raise unmarketable wheat or
corn and can hardly spoil It with bad
handling. But to raise fruit that no one
wants is one of the easiest things in any
country, and to spoil with bad packing
fruit that people do want is sti! more
easy And easier yet is the operation of
inviting a commission merchant to help
himself and remit you what he thinks
you can get along with. Why should
these and similar things be charged
against farming?
Yet who will deny that they are, and
that the basis on which farming and
fruit growing are estimated by too
many is what the land will pay in net
cash to one who commits some, or all, of
these follies, and perhaps some of the
others too numerous to mention?
1t is pleasant to turn to those uncom-
planning tillers of our soil who have no
time to spend on our streets finding fault
with their business. You will have
to go out to their ranches to find them.
That is the reason you do not hear their
tale And there are thousands of them.
Go among the good growers and packers
of oranges, and they will tell you they
have made money this year, that the
prices for good fruit were satisfactory to
them and to the exchanges. and that,
measured by what a dollar will buy, the
country has this year taken in far more
money for oranges than it ever did. Go
