to this result, it was thought.
The first state convention selects the
national delegates. While there is no
light against Mr.. Bryan. so far, the
personnel Of the delegation TO the ma
tional convention is important in de-
termining the voice of Iowa on resolu-

of the second convention determines
the complexion of the state committee
and its organization and SO becomes
of much Importance to both wings.

HORTICULTURE INTRODUCED By
MONKS.

The world finds it hard to realize how
much every new country owes even in its
commercial progress. to the efforts of the
founders Of its religious institutions. In
common with all our pastoral and agri-
cultural pursuits. California is indebted
to the Mission Fathers for It's introduce
ton to horticulture.
Orchards were planted and cultivated as
best they could be with what crude agri-
cultural knowledge the Fathers could COM
mand. All sorts of f. its were grown, es-
pecially Of a tropical nature. which they
were doubtless most familiar with-among
them many oranges. Apples. pears.
peaches. cherries and the northern grown
fruits were introduced at later date by
the Russians. Those monastery gardens
would have been pictures of no small in
terest to us today with their black-cas-
socked monks fitting in and out. tend
ing their vines and trees, planting tn ir
seeds and gathering their little harvests.
According to history they must have raised
all the best varieties Of fruits in their
orchards. but no effort was made to i'm
prove or develop them, and they were
grown without regard for commercial
value-simply for the use of the Fathers

$4,000 ACRES OF ORANGE TREES
In CALIFORNIA.

BY way of contrast California has COM
pleted the task so well begun and brought
orange culture to state of perfection I'm
dreamed of few years ago.
The traveller who stops for a cursory
glance over the vast orchards OF the
Golden State learns that there are over
$4,000 acres of land in the California foot
hills devoted to the cultivation Of oranges
that there are millions Of trees growing
in these orchards and that they represent
an investment OF more than $125.0o0. 900 ;
that 12,00O,eeo boxes Of oranges are
shipped annually from the state, valued
at $20.000.000. and that these California
oranges are the finest in the world.
This is California orange culture in fig
nres and these splendid conditions of
wealth and prosperity may have been In
existence since the beginning Of time to
all outward appearances, 80 entirely have

ton with California statistics.

array of dollars and cents, boxes and car

The ORANGE IN ROMANCE AND REALITY
INTERESTING STORY OF IT'S CULTIVATION FOR THE
PAST THOUSAND YEARS-PERFECTED BY
GROWERS In CALIFORNIA
By G. A. CHARTERS Special Correspondent.
BY G. A. CHARTERS, Special Correspondent.

The story of how oranges came to Cali
fornia is a tale well worth the telling
inseparably interwoven With the history
tireless energy and indomitable courage
Of the old Spanish Monks.
OF course, oranges have been grown In
other parts of the country besides Cali
fornia, but nowhere else does there seem
to be quite such faultless conditions of
every sort for their successful cultivation.
AS far back as the days OF the very
first permanent settlements in Florida,
oranges were found growing wild there.
1t is probable that they were introduced
by the early Spaniards. from them the
Indians no doubt obtained the seeds. AS
they wandered from savage camp to camp
fulfilling the law Of their rowing nature,
oranges went with them-so the seed was
scattered over many miles of forests. up
and down stream. Those open hardwood
forests and live-oak groves made the re-
gion specially congenial to orange trees
and in time they spread into great wild
groves Of wide extent.
or course. at that time, the fruit was
but even before the Civil War these
sour oranges had been seized upon by a
few enterprising land holders and culti-
vated into sweet oranges for 1am hss use
lions rendered the orange valueless Tor
commercial purposes at that early date
and it was really not until about 1880
that Florida entered the lists as an orange
growing state. The Florida orange in
dustry made an enormous advance during
the next few years. only to be checked by
billiards which swept the -,ute time and
again.
Killing frosts left their indelible mark
on the orchards and the loss to the Florida
orange industry was estimated at hum
dred million dollars The ground lost at
that time seems never to have quite been
regained and orange culture has never
since been followed In Florida with just
the same amount OF confidence or success
as before.
The Mississippi Delta sections shared
practically the same unfortunate expert
ence which befell the Florida crops. From
the early settlements OF Louisiana oranges
had been grown in that part Of the coun-
try. though there were no extensive groves

Reports from all over Ohio are to the effect

and not detail is being neglected which add

The anti-saloon forces are taking nothing
for granted. In counties where dry mrJoriteS
are certain to be large, not point will be

victories so overwhelming as to leave no

However, it is quite certain the working
