UNEQUALED LAND YIELD

Who would think that the Southern
California orange product, which re-
turned s20,O0O,OOO to the growers last
year, all came from an area equal
to a tract but little more than eight
miles square?
The annual report Of the state board
Of equalization furnishes data showing
the approximate acreage OF orange cul-
ture in the several counties of the
state wherein the fruit is grown in
commercial quantities. san Bernar-
dino county is far in the lead, with
16,500 acres to its credit Following
come Riverside. with 10, 760 acres; Los
Angeles, $3.50; orange, $3.50; Ventura.
$50; San Diego. 500
The total orange area of the six
counties named, as thus given, foots
up TAO acres. That is equivalent to
little less than sixty-seven square
miles. A tract eight miles square
would contain siXty-four square miles.
Where else on earth can be found
an equal area Of land that yields to
its tillers revenue of $20,000,000 n
year? And that. be it remembered.
does not include the vast sums first
deducted for packing, transportation,
etc. That eight-mile square tract
not much more than the acreage of
an average township-puts at least
SIC, 10000 into the pockets of railway
and packing companies in addition to
the figure that goes to the growers.
There are other counties in the state
that produce oranges in considerable
quantities. but their output is COM
paratively small. Against the total Of
42,740 acres of orange bearing land
in Southern California there is total
of 4450 acres in the northern citrus
belt and 1850 acres in the Tulare county
section. Nearly two-thirds of the
citrus area of the northern belt is
credited to Butte county. a consid-
erable part of that area, however,
yields but little profit. The Tulare
county district is the most promising of
any section outside of the southern
belt.
1t is profitable only to raise and
market the highest type Of oranges,
and comparatively little land, even in
Southern California, seems to entirely
meet the requirement.

A PUBLIC WORK LESSON

The United states government ad-
mits it's inability to construct a great
public work economically without in
termediate aid That admission Is sug-
gestive in these days OF pressure for
experiments in various lines Of public
utilities, especially in municipal affairs.
Following an acknowledged failure in
undertaking the Job of constructing
the Panama canal the government,
with the president in supreme control,
has abandoned the task and is handing
It over to a corporation. The terms
under which the work will be done in
volve profit or bonus to the corpora
tion equal to nearly per cent of the
cost Of construction Assuming that the
completed work will he confined within
the minimum estimate of sl5O,OOO. 900.
the bonus will foot up nearly a round
$40 100000.
Why did our strenuous president ballS
at even so stupendous a task in view
of the chance to save so large sum of
money? No corporation could have ad-
vantages superior to those enjoyed by
the government for constructing the
canal Nowhere could a more gritty
man than Theodore Roosevelt be found
as supreme director Of the work.
The president had carte blanche from
congress in the act of June 2S, 1902 The
act provides that he shall "cause to
be excavated, constructed and COM
pleted." an isthmian canal as specified,
and he is authorized for the purposes
aforesaid to employ such persons as
he may deem necessary, and to fix
their compensation"
The energetic undertaking of the task
by the president and his tusse with
1t until the present time, are familiar
matters of history. Throughout the
period of his endeavor there was evil
dence that he exerted himself to the
utmost to attain success, evidently
buoyed by the thought that it would
be one of the highest achievements of
his administration to push the work
we'll along before vacating the presi-
Dental chair.
But the farther the president got
with his task the more thoroughly he
became convinced that the work could
be accomplished to better advantage
by adopting the contract plan, which
is almost universal in large enterprises
of corporations, companies and indi-
viduals 1t was with obvious regret
that he finally reached the conclusion.
but he was convinced beyond question
of it's desirability.
The presidents experience in direct
ing the Panama canal work. on be-
half of the government affords a les
son worthy of studying by all thinkers
on the subject of public construction
and operation of utilities. There are
unquestionable examples of success in
such public enterprises, but the record
probably will show a larger proportion
of failures.
The primary difficulty encountered by
the president in his canal digging ex-
perience was one that usually is in
evidence in all lines of public work
That is, the aptness of public employees,
Of all grades, to be less arduous in
service than they would expect to be
if they were employees of a corporation
or business firm.
And right there is the ineradicable
defect in the theory, plausible but de-
ceptve, of general public construction,
ownership and operation of public
utilities.
