The Big Leffingwen Lemon
Orchard.

The CitrOgraph copies long ac-
count of this grove from the Fullerton
News. 1T is quite interesting, and
may be valuable to our South Florida
subscribers:
Ranching in Southern California has
many big problems many, still un-
slved-and it is gratifying to chron-
icle the successful solution of one Of
them If the rancher is content to take
things as they come and not bother
about the why" of it, he has an easy,
care-free existence, compared with the
man who works not only his hands,
but his brain. in constantly trying to
make the product of his acres of the
very highest type known, and then
trying to better that.
In the past ten years lemon cultur-
lists have passed through various
troubles and vicissitudeS. In many
cases growers were discouraged by
the obstacles which beSet them and
dug out their lemon trees or budded
them to oranges. But some persisted,
sought the solution of their troubles,
and this article is intended to describe
the methods of one grower who has
succeeded to a remarkable degree in
locating the trouble, finding a remedy
and developing the lemon along
scientific lines to point which means
substantial financial returns for his
pains. L am speaking of the Letting
well ranch of 100 acres, located at
Whittier, and owned by Rev. e. w.
Leffingwell, of Illinois, and his son,
c. w. Leffingwell, Jr. The latter is
the resident partner and manager of
the property, and it is his energy and
ability that have brought about the
results given in this article.
The lemon tree is a constant pro-
ducer, there being blossoms and
maturing fruit steadily on the trees
But the heaviest crops come in the
winter months, when the demand i'm
most parts of the United States is
lightest, and in the summer when
the demand is greatest, the crops are
lighter
One great problem confronting the
grower was to so handle his fruit
that it might have good keeping
qualities, so that the winter crop
might be held for the summer mar
ket. This necessitates careful
study, not only of market conditions
irrigation, cultivation, pruning, pick
ing, curing and packing. In fact,

words, each degree of ripeness is
segregated as to keeping quality and

ling being thereby simplified and
| more even pack assured. This is one

percentage of decay incident to the

is one in 10000 in winter. In the
spring. when there is more sap. it
will sometimes run as high as 1 per
cent.
Beginning with January, when the
pickings are heavy and the demand
light. the fruit is stored i'm the truts
for three or four months In the
summer months the fruit can be
shipped as soon as cOlOred, say two
or three weeks. Along toward
September coloring is done artificially
by placing the lemons i'm tight rooms
and subjecting them to damp heat
of 80 degrees for from three to eight
days. The facilities of the ranch will
permit of concentrating three-fOurths
of the crop in the six warmest months
of the year. retarding the winter
crops and Fastening the summer
crops
The storage capacity of this pack
ing house is seventy-five cars, and two
cars a day may be packed and ship
ped when desired.
In packing, the lemons are graded
from the boxes to shallow trays 2x3
feet, and three inches deep, being
sorted for color, quality, appearance,
etc, into two grades and placed
carefully by hand into these trays,
which then go to the packer, where
each lemon is wrapped in paper and
carefully placed in the packing box.
Special attention is given to placing
the stem end of the lemon toward
the wood whenever possible. as that
end is much less easily bruised.

Each box bears the number of the

miles from the railroad, and after the
loads of packed boxes reach the rail

random from each car and returned

check against the careless packer.

best keeping lemons are picked abso-
lutely green and cured in the packing
house.
The orchard is divided into seven
blocks for picking purposes, and a
record is kept each day of the block
in which the picking is done, the
number of men employed, number of
picking boxes turned in, etc, so that
the manager knows each day
it costs. This system also enables
the picking crews to get over the
orchard during the proper time, as
the superintendent can tell each day
just how the work is progressing and
regulate the help accordingly.
As the lemon is picked from the
tree, after having been tested for
size by the ring, it is carefully placed
in Il special picking sack and handled
as gently as if it We're an egg. From
the sack they are carefully removed
TO boxes and taken to the packing
house on spring wagons.

handling the fruit all through the
process anr has had much influence

but if the rind of lemon is bruised
ever so little it impairs the shipping
value of that lemon, and may endan-
ger others.
At the packing house the lemons
are washed at once in machine
which has been worked over, adjust
ed, and changed until the builder
would hardly know it, all with
view to- handling the fruit without
brqIising. From the washer they
come out on a moving sorting table
divided into four grades for color
and keeping quality, and are placed
in the boxes in which they will after
ward be shipped. in truts for curing

The Leffingwell ranch consists OF

| went into the orchard with Mr.
Leffingwell and saw the fruit on the
trees, which were loaded down with
blossoms and small green lemons
with now and then a yellow one
which had escaped the pickers. A
gang of men were at work pruning
as they are nearly every month in
the year on this ranch trimming to
the tree as much as possible. The
pruning may seem excessive to some
people, but in this orchard has proved
to be the right thing.
Commercial fertilizer is used and
also all the stable and sheep manure
obtainable, besides peas and other
crops high in nitrogen which are
planted in the fall and later turned

condition necessary for best results.
The leaves are green, shiny and clean
and the blossoms large and perfect.
The fruit is full, smooth and well
nOurished in appearance. This heal
thy condition puts life and vitality
into the lemon and makes it keep
hard and firm for months so that
it commands ready market at su-
periOr prices.
Present indications show an i'm
mense crop for the coming season.
The picking, which is done every
four to six weeks, according to growth
is performed by two gangs of men,
one gang going ahead of the other.
Each man has ring which he uses
on every lemon. There are two
sizes of these rings, the first gang
being supplied with those of 2 $40
inches in diameter, and they clip all
fruit that will not pass throubh this
ring. The following gang is supplied
with rings of 2 lis inches in dia-
meter and they pick fruit which is
beginning to color slightly and which
would be too ripe before the next
picking.
The reason for the use of the two
rings is that the trade in the East
has become accustomed to two sizes
300 and $50 to the packed box
since the Sicily lemons We're imported,
and the pickings are regulated every
four ITO six weeks, according to
growth, to get the right sizes. The
