are many olive trees in the state from forty to
fifty years Old. Not a great deal of planting
is going on. although the number of trees in
creases steadily. The principal impedments
are that trees are slow coming into bearing, the
labor of picking is considerable and. the wages
being low, other Industries returning larger in
comes are preferred.
Practically nothing is done in this state in
picking and relatively little is made of the
waste material after the oil has been extracted.
The reason for this is that there is not a large
demand for oil cake for feeding purposes, and
such little demand exists is supplied by copra
cake. which Is sold at such low price that olive
Oil cake cannot compete. Furthermore the in
dustry is not of sufficient magnitude to warrant
the establishment of special works for the uti-
zation of some of the waste in the manufacture
of soap. etc"
