Largest oIiye Ranch in the world.

Very few Eastern people, compare
lively, know that the largest olive
ranch in the world is located within
twenty-five miles of Los Angeles, Cal.
This wonderful orchard, situated
at Sylmar, is ten times larger than the
biggest olive ranch in Spain, There
are over 10000 olive bearing trees.
and they average fifty pounds of olives
TO the tree. The Sylmar ranch con-
sists of 1900 acres. and each acre
contains 110 trees, which produce
1000 gallons of olive each season.
This quantity Of fruit makes $50 gal
Ions of pure olive oiI-valued at 81
per gallon-thus eqi ing $500 per
acre profit.
The olive wood is highly priced by
cabinet makers, as 1t is very hard and
takes a high polish. The Italians
consider an olive orchard as a perpet-
pal source of wealth, as the older 1t
grows the more valuable 1t becomes.
fae trees are supposed to live about
1000 years, under favorable condi-
tons. There are some olive trees
now on the Mount of Olives. in Pal
estine, which are computed to be not
less than 5000 years old.
The olive industry has been grow
ing steadily in California since its
hrst Introduction by the early Span
ish mission fathers. and the olive cul-
ture in that State can never be over
done, since the olive can be produced
on the American continent with any
degree of success only in Central and
Southern California. New Mexico and
Arizona.

asked DR.. Baraduc, the inventor OF
radio-photography. what explanation
he could give. The doctor replied:
Are you asking me what sub

charged atmosphere; what emana-
tion there was from that loose
fleshed, pallid medium: what physi-
cal disassociation? Biometry is the
only method Of mensuration which
can give an answer to those ques-
tions. For that case. as for every
other similar phenomenon in a mixed
seance, the experiments would have
to be carefully made. But. in gem

medium contributes this substance
which forms the column, the egg, the
vesture-the medium and we who

II. X. Adair, the Western detective,
was discussing Cleveland crime
whereupon he had failed.

Mr.. Adair apologetically. "for having
failed on this Cleveland matter. The

best in the business.
He relighted the stub of his cigar.
You know what John B. Cough

with faint smile. In taking leave
