Points on Orange Culture

Latitude is in itself a small factor in
orange growing. Altitude has vastly
more to do with it, other things being
equal. 1t only requires a very few hun
dred feet of elevation to equal many
miles in latitude. Oranges like a light,
sandy soil, but 1t must not be too light.
They thrive in the red soil of the foot
hills, providing the climatic conditions
are favorable. Granulated granite soil
is rich in the kind of plant food that or
anges feed upon. They require a dry
atmosphere and plenty of irrigation.
Water, however, should be carefully ap-
piled and at the proper time. Otherwise
the crop may be materially injured.
While these may be accepted as rules,
especially regarding soils. the book
taught orange grower with his theories,
and the practical grower with his know
ledge are occasionally led up to an ex-
ceedingly thrifty orange tree that Is
growing in the whitest bed of sand he
ever gazed upon. He is then shown trees
growing thriftily in the red soil of the
foothills, and is in turn called to look
upon trees that are thriving in soil that
would seem to be too heavy and too
black and too damp, for citrus trees.
Neither high land nor low land, nor lati-
tude, nor longitude, nor any other thing
determines the proper locality for or
anges. Each section must be tested
Broadly. it may without trial be stated
that some localities are not suited; but
facts are more than theories, and moth
ing succeeds like success.

Electric Lights for Farms

Captain Neville, the fortunate owner
of the Rawhide gold mine, in Tuolumne
county, owns two raisin vineyards in
Fresno county. and has contracted for
wires connecting his vineyards with the
San Joaquin Electric companys plant
and will use two 1900 candle power arc
lights and 100 incandescent lamps. The
lncandescent lamps will be distributed
about the houses and barns, and the arc
lights will be centrally located. Near Los
Gates, in Santa Clara county, Mrs.
Frank Hume owns an S00-acre prune
orchard. which is supplied with a very
large electric light plant. There are
perhaps half a dozen arc lamps elevated
on poles on the fruit drying grounds.
and the prune trays are spread at night
with a view Of avoiding the dust, which
circulates more freely in the day time.
There are also hundreds of incandescent
lamps, every barn, residence. the black

Tobacco Culture

The ranches and farmers of California
have been studying the question of the
culture of tobacco as a money making
crop, realizing that in this state a very
interesting field is being opened up that
promises great things for the future
Just in time a work has been published
under the title Tobacco" notice of which
will be found among The Heralds ad-
vertisements. treating of its general
features; also giving full directions for
its culture from the seed bed to the pack
ing case. This is not theoretical work,
but is based on three years practical ex-
periments, by experienced growers, not
only in this state, but also In the southern
states. The tobacco that has been
grown at Downey. Los Angeles county,
and at E,tiwanda, San Bernardino coun-
ty, is now being manufactured to a fine
quality of cigars by experts, who have
followed the business in Germany, Cen
trail America and Australia, demonstrate
ing that this favored section may be des-
tined to become a great tobacco grow
ing state. This little book will be found
invaluable to those thinking of trying
the raising of tobacco on this coast. there
being no other work published that con-
tains the information required exclusive
ly for this region.
