The oliye-growers of California VIII
nrohablv gather next winter the larg-
os+ cron ever grown in the Union. For
tbe first time the production OF THIS
fruit will be in excess of the demands
for consumption in California alone.
An enormous planting of olive groves
hos been made in California in the
last few years. 1t has been reckoned
that 600. 900 olive trees were set out
in this state last spring alone.
Rough estimates put the area OF
hearing olive groves in Califor-
MIA at about 5000 acres, while
the total orchard area is about $4,000.
This state has practically a monopoly
in growing olives in America. Some
attempts have been made to grow the
nevadillo blanco olive in Florida ana
7 .onisiana. but the soil is not adapted
70 the fruit in either Of these states.
Some twelve years ago seyenty-acre
olive orchard was started near Guau-
alaiara, Mex, but the trees never came
70 hear fruit, and the scheme was
abandoned when it was found the ar
was too damp.

The Barometer and Weight.

A man weighs less when the barom-

that the atmospheric pressure on him
is more than when the barometer is
low. AS the pressure of air on an ordi-

the rise of the mercury from twenty
nine inches to thirty-one inches adds
about one ton to the load he has to
carry.
