AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
PLANTS NEW ORCHARD
CONTAINS ALL KINDS OF DE-
ClDUOUS FRUIT
One Aim of Farm Is to Secure Greater
Regularity In Almond Yield
Through New Va
rletles

Part of the equipment Of the Univer-
sity farm at Davis Cal, for good work
In both educational ana experimental
lines is a young orchard, whose value
for both purposes becomes greater
every year. 1t has been planted with
the idea of having representatives OF all
the standard varieties of deciduous
fruits that flourish in the great valley
of acknowledgements. apricots, plums,
prunes, pears and early apples.
Besides fifteen or eighteen standard
varieties of peaches, about seventy
other varieties are being tried out, with
the idea of developing new ones to sup
plement the standard. and thus make
a longer and steadier peach season.
In almonds about twelve varieties are
under experiment to determine the pos
sibility of increased yield through cross
pollenizing. In time a large number or
hybrids will be developed. The aim Is
to secure a greater regularity In the
almond yield by development of new
varieties.
About twenty-five varieties of walhuts
have been planted with the intention OF
developing trees able to resist the neat
of the interior valleys and with a ten
dency to resist blight.
1t is also planned to develop methods
of pruning adapted to climatic oondl-
tions in the great valley Inese
methods will be different from those
suitable elsewhere in so far as the con-
ditions are different.
The orchard will be used 10 the
fullest extent for demonstrations in the
horticultural work of the school OF
agriculture. For practice in pruning,
investigations in the diseases of fruit
trees, the study of harmful insects,
spraying, etc, as well as for the de-
tails of preparing fruit for market, an
orchard is essential, and for these pur-
poses the new orchard Will be used

He has resided i'm Kansas, Oklahoma.
Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and California, and knows
these states very wen. He says that
there is nothing anywhere that can
equal the soil with surrounding ad-
vantages to be found in Antelope val

Six acres of alfalfa produced ten tons
to the acre for the season. Chickens
will be a big side issue Of his ranch.

G. L. Thompson of Opalusa, La, in
the parish of st. Laundry, followed the
general merchandise business, as well
as farming, at that place. Mr., Thomp-
son sold out his interest there on ac-
count Of his Wife's illness and came to
California in October 1907. Tho latter
has been in the best of health ever

Several months ago AIR, Thompson
purchased the Morrison ranch Of ten
acres, paying $500 an acre. This prop
erty is seeded to alfalfa, and is well
improved. The ranch contains a brick
residence, brick stables and outhouses.
He says he has seen the finest sugar
beets grown here without irrigation;
also all kinds of vegetables, and can
see no reason why every one who gives
sufficient care to his ranch should not
succeed.
lie says that this is the finest stock
raising country he has ever seen. The
range is good and the meat of the cat
lie raised here is Of the best.
