MANY GROVES SELL
IN ORANGE COUNTY
SMALLEST COMMUNITY RANKS
AMONG RICHEST
Water-Bearing Land Encourages the
Holders of Only Five Acres to
Install Their Own Pump
Ing Plants

One of the richest orange and walnut
belts tributary to Los Angeles is the
Fullerton Rlacentia- Anaheim district,
becoming famous for the productive
ness of it's mellow, sandy loan soil,
Orange county is one of the smallest
counties in the state, but makes up
in lack of area by the wonderfully
heavy crops produced. The land is
nearly all water bearing, and a great
many having only five acres of land
have their own private pumping plants.
There is perhaps no other section of
California where there is more or
cheaper water than this district.
Fullerton Is the recognized home of
the late Valencia orange" and the
oranges from this district, owing to the
fruit holding to the trees almost indefi-
nitely without injury either to tree or
fruit, are marketed late in the season
and command the very highest prices,
thus affording the Orange county
orange growers much better returns
than in some less favored sections.
