MANY SALES REPORTED
NEAR ATWATER CANNERY
Crocker-Fiuffman Company Lo-
Gates 20 Families on Land

The Crocker- Huffman land and
water company reports many sales at
Atwater, Merced county. The company
placed 1000 acres on the market less
than three months ago. and in that
time $50 acres have been snapped up
by home seekers. That is, IS families
have been located. despite the bad
weather.
The land which is peing sold lies less
than two miles from the railroad and
the cannery at Atwater. 1t is a fertile
sandy loam. watered by the great
Crocker irrigation system, and is going
at SIS per acre on terms.
The Crocker- Huffman land and water
company is perhaps the largest land
holder in California. The agents of the
company believe that the little Merced
county town is destined to grow with
great rapfdity in the next IL months.
The conditions at Atwater are doubt

ence. The uses of its product are a
little limited, however, by the fact
that it is inclined to a crooked, branchy
form. 1t is of rapid growth and fur
nishes a product which is very durable
in contact with the soil.
''The gray gum is equally rapid in
growth. but is somewhat less frost
hardy than the red. 1t grows in good
form, especially in plantations, and fur
nishes very durable timber.
MAMMA GUM GROWS FAST
Mamma gum grows very rapidly, but
It is hardly worthy OF consideration,
since it is but slightly more frost
hardy than the sugar and blue gums,
while its timber is inferior to that Of
either species.
Lemon gum is probably more wall
liable for ornamental than for eco
nomic planting. Its rate of growth is
about equal to that of red gum, but it
is less frost hardy and produces a less
durable though better formed timber"
The following order indicates the
frost hardness of the timber eucalypts
very closely, according to the expert
ence of growers in California: Red,
gray, mama, blue, sugar and lemon
gum.
A rapid growing plant, like anything
else which grows rapidly. requires lots
of food. This is taken >up by the
roots in the form of mineral salts in
solution and elaborated in the leaves.
Hence, the tree can not get it's food
unless the roots can obtain water.
Therefore, other conditions being equal,
the rate of growth depends directly
on the amount of water the plant Sc
cures.
DRYNEsS RETARDs GROWTH
While eucalypts will grow where
the soil moisture is deficient, the rate
of growth will be be much slower than
where the tree gets all it needs. For
commercial purposes it is unwise to
attempt to produce eucalyptus where
the soil moisture is markedly deficient.
A fairly retentive, deep soil. which re-
ceives an annual rainfall of from % to
80 inches will produce good trees.
Deficient moisture Is supplemented
by atmospheric moisture in the fog
belt, where the fog is condensed by
contact with the foliage. During a
heavy fog the foliage of gum trees
drips as if from a shower, and the
ground under the trees becomes soaked
over night
The occurrence of fog accounts large
ly for the excellent growth of euca-
lyptus on sandy soil at the Presfdio.
on the Piedmont hills and elsewhere
in situations otherwise inhospitable
throughout the bay counties. Fogs,
likewise, make the Los Angeles plain
one OF the favorable regions in the
state for eucalyptus culture, although
less than the bay counties, owing to
lesser precipitation.

also being carried on at VisitaciOn, and
shortly there will be good sized town
at that point. and this will all add to
the Importance of San Francisco
There is also considerable move
ment across the bay, and the new
tracts which have been opened recent
" around Oakland are being built up
rapidly.
