Horticultural Notes

The Hueneme beet sugar factory will
be slicing beets by August 1898, accord
ing to Mr.. Oxnard, the proprietor.
Marsden Manson, a member of the
state department Of highways. in a re-
cent visit to Europe, saw quantity of
turnips that were to be picked by a
famous London firm, favored and bot
tied as California Bartlett pears.
The ginger plant grows wild In some
parts of Mexico, and it's cultivation on
the elevated plateaus is to be encour-
aged. An estimate Of the value of the
crop may be CLEANED from the fact that
one acres yield brings in about $1,000
in gold. A rich soil is necessary, such
as black vegetable loans, and it should
be well drained, plowed deep and weeded
with care, the cultivation being some
what similar to that of the potato.
The Chino Sugar company is taking
the lead in casting about for some means
of keeping the beet crops up to a high
standard, and number of experiments
will be made this winter with green fer
tilizers, to determine which plant is best
adapted to restore plant food to the soil.
The great fertility of the soil of the
Chino ranch is shown by the fact that
this problem has not been suggested un-
on the same land, while the quality of
the beets even yet is but slightly under
that of beets grown on virgin soil. Here
after rotation of crops will be practiced
on the sugar company's land.

The Prune Industry

The Importance of extending the mar
ket for our dried fruits can be better
understood when we consider the in
crease in the production Of prunes in the
Santa Clara valley since 1890. In the lat
ter year the shipment of prunes from
that valley amounted to 1,205, 1855
pounds. In 1891 it increased to 1929, ,265
pounds, and in 1892 declined to IA, AGA, $40.
In 1893 it jumped to 80, sos, ,250 pounds, and
in 1894 declined again to 17,2S6,3S In
1895 it was nearly double that of the pre-
vious year, amounting to 35,129,S70
pounds In 1896 there was a slight de-
crease, 32,535.340 pounds being the
amount shipped, while for this year the
shipments exceed that Of any previous
year, reaching the immense total of 49,
72S,S30 pounds. These figures do not
give the entire yield for the seasons
named, but comprise the shipments from
July list to December 31st of each year
The total yield of the Santa Clara val
ley for the season Of 1878 is placed at
$1,000 ,290 pounds. 1t is very likely that
the balance of the state will show a pro-
duction of at least 20,O0O,O0O pounds for
this season, consequently 1t Is Of vital
Importance that the market for this
fruit be extended wherever such an ex-
tension Is practicable. From the Santa
Clara valley the export shipments of
dried prunes since July 1st amounts to
6,922,OO0 pounds. 1t is believed that by
making a proper exhibit of our dried
fruits in the principal cities of Europe
that profitable market can be found
for very large quantity of our surplus
products.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 13.-(Reg-
ular Correspondence.) Mill creek is
destined to more than rival Lytle creek
in the amount of water filings placed
upon it. The records show nearly rs
years OF use of the waters of this creek
for irrigation, and of late years there
have been filings and lawsuits innum-
cradle upon its flow of water. Still an
other filing has now been made, but this
time its use will not appreciably dimin-
ish the quantity. The filing was made
by r. jackson as agent for H. H. Sim
clair for the Southern California Power
company of Redlands. The notice is
posted on an alder tree situated ON the
north bank of Mill creek, about 200
yards above the junction of Mountain
Home stream with Mill creek, and is
dated January g. 1898. The claim is
made for 1000 inches, including the en-
tire flow of the stream above the surface
and below the surface, to be used in de-
veloping power for the generating of
electricity and compressed air, and for
use in mechanical water power devices
The place of use is on the northeast
quarter of Section 10, township 1 south
of range west of the San Bernardino
base and meridian, to which place the
water will be conducted by means of
dams. bitches, fumes, tunnels and pipe

tions.
1t does not seem to be generally known
that this part of the county can and
does produce deciduous fruits without
irrigation, but such is the fact. Peaches,
plums, apples, prunes and grapes do es-
pecially well, while almonds thrive and
bear well. In the chamber of commerce
at Los Angeles will be found trunk
from wild almond tree, also q jar of
the wild almonds from the foothills, not
over four miles from the desert. With
this position and the assurance that
this is the home of the almond, why do
not more people look the country over

California Fruit Sales in Europe

In a recent review of the European
fruit markets we find some candid re-
marks relative to fruit shipments from
California:
Whether regular shipments can be
made in the future will depend in q
great extent on the incidental expenses.
OF course, every season is not like the
present one, and. should there be a
large crop of English or French fruit,
the prices of CALIFORNIA; would neces-
sarily suffer. Whether the freight from
California to New York can be reduced
Is another question; in the event of its
being brought down to a reasonable fig
ure, there would be a greatly increased
demand for California fruit on the Eng
lish market, and what Is now regarded
as a luxury would become almost a
necessity.
"The orange season is now approach
ing, and there are already inquiries for
the Navel orange, or, as we prefer to
term it, the 'Seedless' orange-a more
appropriate and better sounding title.
The expenses incurred in the transmits
sion of these make the prices so high
that only the well-to- do are able to pur-
chase them. If they come here In mod
erately large quantities, and in good
condition, fair prices will be maintained.
OF course, when there is only small
quantity on the market, the results are
higher than when the supply Is larger"
