Longevity Of Olive Trees.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
The longevity OF olive trees is extraordi-
nary. In Syria recently have been found
some remarkably ancient olive trees.
whose ages are established beyond ques-
ton. A trust deed exists which relates
to an orchard covering 400 trees near
Tripoli. Syria, the trust deed having been
issued 400 years ago. Though the trees
look aged. they still bear fruit of fine
quality in abundance and are likely to
maintain their productiveness for many
hundreds Of years yet. An. olive grove
near Beirut is admitted to be the third
largest olive farm In the world. Syrian
fruit farmers are extending olive culture
with much zeal and effect. One planter
recently set out 100000 trees in block
for commercial purposes. Under Euro
pean systems Of culture the Syrians make
the olive tree bear each season. while In
the old days one crop in three years was
thought to be all that the trees could pro-
duce. This low cropping capacity OF the
trees was due to the native method Of
thrashing the fruits from the branches
with sticks. which seriously injured them.
The methods OF grinding the olives for
oil and picking the fruits are peculiar.
Neither the grinders nor pickers received
wages. but are paid on percentage. The
pickers receive 5 per cent Of the actual
fruit picked and the grinders get 10 per
cent of the fruit ground.
