Fruit CROP
SOLD FOR $32, 900, 600
MORE THAN $2o,oo0,ooo FOR Or
ANGEs AND LEMONS
RaIsin Growers Sell Entire Crop on
the Vines-Potato Crop Estimated
at $2ooo,ooo-Figures in
Detail

Carefully compiled figures at San Fran
cisco prove that California is reaping a
great harvest in gold this season from
the products of the rich soil of the state.
1t is stated that the orange men, whose
shipping season began last November and
is not yet over, have already realized
$40, 600 900 gross for their shipments of
oranges and lemons to the east.
In the San Joaquin country alone the
potato crop is worth this year $2,000000,
while the green fruit men, whose season
is yet in its infancy, had received gross
up to July Is for $50 cars of cherries,
apricots plums and peaches $1,37S,000.
And as climax to the favorable finan-
cial story the raisin growers have prac-
tically sold all their crop on the vines.
They are to have a bigger yield than
ever this season. They and the railroad
traffic officials estimate the yield
this year at 4500 carloads. Last year the
product amounted to $500 cars, so the In
crease for this season will reach the
large amount of thousand cars. In ad-
dition to the increased quantity prices
this year are most favorable.
Green fruit men up to July Is sent east
over the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
lines to Chicago, New York, Boston, ST.
Louis, Minneapolis and other eastern
cities 6S9 cars of fruit, as against 7S4
A decrease in quantity. however, Is of no
moment in view of the fact that prices
this season are much higher owing to
a general failure of the fruit crop OF
most of the eastern fruit districts.
All Orchardists Prosper
It is estimated that the $50 cars sent
east brought $5OO,OOO more than the 7S4
cars for the same period of last year.
The orchardists and the railroad traffic
agents figure that by the end of the
green fruit season 5000 cars Will have
been sent. east, with gross financial re-
turns amounting to $12000,000. Out of the
latter sum the railroads will get In the
way of freight and icing charges some
thing like $2,7OO 900. This will leave So
300. 900 for the orchardists, but out Of this
must come commissions for eastern auc-
ton sales and other expenses incidental
to the business.
The banks are readily supplying money
to move the large shipments, the same
as they have done in the past years. On
this account the shipments are going
forward promptly.
Much of the fruit crop, of course, is sold
to the local Gamers at good prices. and
this is a source of income to the orchard
lists that must not be overlooked.
1.-THE interior of the state is in most
PROSPEROUS condition owing to large crops
of various kinds and the high prices
being obtained" said Assistant Freight
Traffic Manager Edward Chambers of
the Santa Fe. 1.-THE raisin men are doing
better this season than ever before with
an increased crop and higher prices. The
orange men are having banner season.
The same is true of the green fruit men,
growers of potatoes and other classes of
people dependent upon the bounteous
soil of California. The upshot of all this
means goodly current OF gold
flowing this way from the eastern pur-
chasing market"
