Californians are disposed to speak
lightly of their own disposition TO
praise our great State and the products
thereof, but it is doubtful if we really
do as much of this kind of self.adyer-
Using as we should. says the S. F.
Post. There are industries within our
borders which offer unequaled opportu-
mites for successful investment, and
their proper development is not likely
to be secured soon unless the attention
Of outside capitalists if directed toward
them. These remarks have been sug-
gested by an article in the New York
Sun regarding the cultivation of the
lemon in the southern portion of the
State and the rapid growth of the in
dustry The article referred to states
that the planting of groves during the
next few months bids fair to be the
largest ever known in the United
States in any season, nurserymen in
that section reporting that they have
never had so many orders for February
and March delivery of lemon trees as
are upon their books at present. A
conservative estimate puts the number
of lemon trees to be set out this season
at $40, 900 or $500 aces, and this will
bring the total number of lemon trees
planted in Southern California up to
1 / 300, 900 and the number of acres of
4 lemon orchards to $4,000.

5000 trees. 1t is a gratifying thought
that, notwi 5hsanding the general de-
preston in all kinds of farm and hor-
ticultural products in the past two
years, the lemon growers of Southern
California have made money. With
the growth of the industry has come
successful solution of problems which
have rendered the business difficult in
the past, and the shipper now has nc
trouble in securing the safe delivery OF
his crop in the East in good condition.
