ticiating The pretty little editice was

SWEETER THAN EVER
| Noticing the peculiar sweetness OF the
| Highland oranges, the Orange Growers as
socation sent few samples Of the fruit to
have it analysed by S. NJ. Woodbridge, di.
rector of the agricultural experiment sec.
| tion of the Southern California Academy OF
Science at Los Angeles and the returns are
,,.,,,n V,& hns
navel oranges submitted TO me for analysis
contained total solids in the juice, l4.20 per
cent; sugar, $50; peel, 1882. In point OF
| flavor these oranges are remarkably hne.
Analysis OF variety of navel oranges made
in April, 1897 taken from various orchards
in Los Angeles and Orange counties, show
a percentage OF peel ranging from 80 to Az,
and n percentage OF sugar ranging from 0.5O
to 1000, making the average OF five analyses
but 10 per cent OF sugar and 37.4 per cent Of
peel. Your oranges show very high con.
tent of sugar and an exceedingly low per.
cent of peel" This showing OF sugar in the
early fruit of only one-tenth OF one per cent
less than oranges picked in April, when at
their sweetest, is surprising, especially when
coupled with the fact that the peel weighs
nearly II per cent less OF the total weight of
the orange 1t is evidently not too early
to ship such fruit. There is another lesson
to be derived from this, and that is the use
OF only about half the usual quantity of irri-
eating water is largely responsible for these
conditions Too much water has been tho
rule, and the fruit is therefore lacking in
saccharine matter and the peel grows gross
under the liberal supply of water II the
orange growers will heed the lesson forced
upon them by the dry season, the latter will,
after all, prove blessing
PLENTY OF SMOKE
The Baumann millinery establishment on
Third street was found to be full OF smoke
soon after 8 o'clock this morning, and on
forcing the doors fire was found to be
smoulderng in the work room, that had
evidently been going on for several hours.
a few buckets OF water put out the fire, but
the damage from smoke will be considerable,
nearly running the whole stock.
