CALIFORNIA PRUNES.
81 900 Tons of the Fruit Will BE Gath.
cred This Season.

81 ZOO Tons of the Fruit Will BE Gath.
cred This Season.
"The magnitude of the prune indus
try of California" said gentleman
who is largely interested in the culti-
vation of that dainty article in Pomona
County, sis little realized by the peo-
pie in the Eastern States. In q de-
cade the growing of prunes has gone
forward in California by leaps and
bounds, and to day $35, 200, 900 is in
vested in it-that is, in lands, trees,
irrigation systems, agricultural tools
and packing houses. The total pro-
duction OF prunes that will be gathered
from trees throughout the lower part
ofthe San Joaquin valley and the horti-
cultural valleys of Pomona, San Gabriel
and Santa Ana will amount to about
81, 900 tons this year. OF this guam
tity nearly one-fifth will be shipped
East as green fruit, for sale at fruit
stands and for canning purposes, the
remaining four-fifths will be dried for
market, making about "a, 600 tons of
dried prunes.
"Twelve years ago the total area of
bearing prune orchards in California
was less than 5000 acres. In 1883
there were 11,000 acres of bearing
prune trees, and about 5000 acres of
young prune orchards. There was an
import duty Of 2. cents pound OH
dried prunes, in those days, and the
growers sold their crops on the trees
for sums varying from $35 to $50
ton. In 1890 the total area of bearing
prune orchards was $4,000 acres, and
there was an enormous planting of
prune trees that year in all Of the fruit
growing valleys OF California because
of the large profit in the industry.
Twelve Thousand acres Of pruue
orchards were set out in the winter Of
1922, and $4,000 acres more were
planted in the next two years. These
orchards have now come into bearing,
and it is estimated that there are 55.-
900 acres of bearing prune orchards in
California to-day, and about 10000
acres more to come into bearing within
the next year or two. Conservative
estimates put the total crop OF Cali
fornia prunes in a favorable year at
not less than 10000 tons. In few
years more full yield of the fruit in
this State will be more than 100, 900
tons of green fruit"

Honesty, as we'll as the other thing,
has lis dangers, as certain Rosa. a
nurse employed in the family OF the
French Consul. General at London,
has learned to her cost. She happened
to find at the foot of the Column Ven
dome reticule containing q large sum
of money and some family papers. \
little embarrassed with her find she
took the bag to her master and told
him how she had found it. On his
advice she took it to the police station.
Meanwhile, however, a little byplay
had been going on. 4 passer.by had
seen Rosa pick up the bag, and, won
dering why she did not take it TO the
police station, had advised the police,
who at once had commenced to put
detectives Oh the maids track. What
was their surprise when Rosa herself
walked into the station, and what was
Rosa's alarm when she heard that n
warrant was out for her arrest. Gal

Yale Was Victorious.

New Haven, Sept. 2S.-The Yale sopo-
nnres We're the victors in the annual
wrestling matches with the academic
freshmen class last night. These bouts
take the place of the rush which was
abolished q few years ago. In the
lightweight and heavyweight the sopho-
mores We're easy victors, but in the mid
dleweght contest there were a draw and
two ties.
The occasion was the first introduction
to Yale for the incoming class as such.
After parade about the town the pro-
ceson halted on the old grammar school
lot. and in a wrestling ring hooped about
by a throng of several thousand specta-
tors. students and townspeople. the ath-
letes wrestled for the respective classes.
AS usual there wa much to enliven the
waits while the men were stripped to
the waist and rubbed down in mock pro-
fessional manner. Hats were set afire
and thrown high into the air. only to
make the crowd scatter. When the
contests were over the throng wended its
way back to the campus. where war
dance was held.
