the eucalyptus bloom IL. winter when
bees get little nectar from other sources,
and so are valuable for purposes Of
stimulation. Southern California should
have several Elysian parks, and similar
heights, in which could be seen growing
all the species of eucalyptus known to
botanists
The Pacific Rural Press gives a cut
Of the Montecito audience in the tent, as
seen at the institute. 1t also speaks
well merited words of that meeting.
Through their clubs the Fresno raisin
growers have combined to hold their
fruit for 31s cents minimum price. They
hold that a small crop warrants that
price. The dealers are refusing to buy,
claiming that the crop is large and war;
rants no such price. Who should know
most about the crop. the growers or the
dealers? One firm, Cutting & Co., it is
claimed. sold at very low figures on fu-
lures, and no wonder the growers were
| indignant at such an effort to depreciate
prices When each fruit industry con-
trolls through the exchange the market
| of half or more of its fruit, then and not
until then will it be safe from such in
! furious interference.
The following from the Fruitmar's
Guide is certainly encouraging to Cali

| Better Prices.-It now most assuredly
| looks certain that after the week ending

| lemons and what California may ship; and
when one calculates on the position and
| sees that the entire quantity yet to be
offered really is only equivalent to two or
dinary cargoes, and this amount must carry

| new crop of Messinas 1t seems but plausible
| that higher prices on good stock are inev-
table. more especially if the present heat
continues.
| We hear no news of probable Malaga
shipments and, in face of ruling prices,
| it seems improbable that anyone will have
the hardihood to import.
Apropos to what was said in last
weeks Herald regarding the camphor
tree for ornamentation, is report from
| the government on the camphor tree
which we will review next week, and the
| following in substance from the Pomona
| Progress: A man in San Diego proposes
| to set 200 acres to camphor trees as a
business venture. At his request, Prof.
McClatchie studied the question and re-
ports this an admirable locality in which
to grow the camphor tree. The importa-
ton of gum has fallen off over 100000
pounds in ten years, ard the price has
advanced from Is to "a cents in the same
time, owing to destruction Of the trees in
Japan.
An Azusa letter speaks of the large
orange crop in the Azusa -Covina- Glen
dora region. 1t is estimated that the
seasons output will be 1000 cars. while
the quality, owing to general fucniga-
ton, will be very fire.
The only regions where rasics are
largely grown in Southern California
are Etiwanda awd FL Cajon. The Ell
wanda growers are making sales at
cents. This is the highest price for six
years, and, within one cent of the very
high price OF years ago. II is ella i'm c
that the cost of making rasins is three
cec,ts Each cer; above this gives g

The Lompoc Record says that COZ
tons of apples will be marketed from
