GREAT WEALTH FROM
FRESNO OIL FIELDS
One-thirtieth of Worlds Supply
Pumped From CoaIinga

Development of the oil district in
Coalinga has meant much to Fresno.
The oil territory covers 35 square miles
and the productive capacity of the wells
has been estimated at 10000 barrels
of petroleum to the acre. The price
of oil at the present time Is SO cents
per barrel, and the total product is
valued at $423, 900.
The development of the fields has
been rapid, increasing from 500. 900
barrels in 1900 to 10,996,0S1 barrels at
present. The great increase has led
to the building of refineries and perma-
nent pipe lines. as well as the adoption
of crude petroleum as cheap and good
fuel for locomotives.
There are more than 100 byproducts
made from the oil of the Coalinga
fields. It was estimated recently that
one-thirtieth of the worlds supply of
oil was pumped from the Coalinga
fields.
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-02

the worlds supply. and bids fair very
shortly to be the worlds biggest pro-
ducer.
The city of Coalinga is in the heart
of the field and is the second city in
Importance in the San Joaquin valley.
Other prosperous towns in the county
are Clovis, Kingsburg, Herman, Fow-
Ter, Laton, Reedley Selma and Sanger.
1t is little wonder then that the
cry of back to the land should be so
universally heard To the man who is
answering the call, or the farmer who
is desirous of changing his location,
Fresno county offers a condition Sec
ond to none either in the. supply of
water for irrigation, richness Of soil,
productivity, marketing conditions, or
transportation facilities. Everything
points to conditions for success. and
all that is necessary is the man who
does things.

orange and lennon GrowIng.-

fruits can be grown in any part of
Fresno county. Many of the Fresno
orange orchards are bringing in $1,000
an acre from trees that are 10 years
old. Unimproved orange land can be
bought in the county at $3.50 an acre.
while land of similar quality in south
ern California is sold for $500 per acre.

Dried Fruits From Fresn0.-Besides
raisins, the product of dried fruit from
Fresno county amounts TO 10000 tons a
year. The dried fruits are principally
peaches. prunes. apricots. fgs and nec-
tarines.

HOW SOME TRUCKERS ARE CO.
OPERATING.

Messrs. Editors: 1t is only of late
wears that the farmers of the coun-
try are organizing on practical, eff
fective. business lines. Leaving the
general features of the question, and
referring more to local matters; we
see that the farmers of the Eastern
shore OF Virginia-Accomac and
Northampton counties-haye been or
yanized on strictly business
hasis. very satisfactory basis, and
also very profitable basis, for sew
oral years, during which time coop
grafton alone has saved them hun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars.
The truckers OF the Norfolk sec
ton have also been organized for
several years with splendid results.
Considered from individual or COM
munlty standpoint the two organi-
zations named have been very, very
successful indeed.
A still more recent organization
ia that OF the "Currituck Produce
Exchange Company" OF Currituck
County. \. c. This company was or
ganIzed and Incorporated in March,
and has 1850 members. with w. H.
Gallup. of harrisburg. n. c.. Secre-
tary and Treasurer.
This is strictly a local organiza-
ton. covering a territory OF about 60
square miles of wonderfully produc-
tive soil. when properly handled,
The principal market crops are Irish
and sweet potatoes. a great variety
OF other crops are grown for local
or home consumption. The greatest

GRAPEVINES IN THE BACK
YARD.

Messrs. Editors: OF late years
much interest is being manifested in
the Improvement of the back yard.
Cleanliness, OF course, comes first,
and that is matter OF daily atten-
ton. Plants for the back yard ought
TO be OF economic value. Hedge
plants. without thorns, along the
fence line. or bordering the walk,
serve good purpose daily.
The pot, sweet and medicinal
herbs. such as parsley, thyme, sage,
and rosemary do well, and are con-
venient in back yards.
Rose bushes and rose vines are
thorny and therefore not well suit
ed to the part of the premises used
for hanging and summing househ old
linen. Plant your roses elsewhere.
Grapevines need good foothold
They climb freely. 1t is not the ap-
proved method of cultivating grapes,
but for shade over the kitchen win
dow or porch, vigorous Concord,
Delaware, or Catawba grape answers
the dual purpose Of giving shade
and producing fruit. Plant on the
eastern side and train the vine
around TO the window or porch. The
root in sunny place, the vine will
stand western or northern expos
ure.
Scuppernong vines are excellent
for covering arbors. An arbor OF
rough construction, extending from
the back door. say toward the gar
den. with just single Scuppernong
grape vine. will be green all summer
and full OF grapes in September.
Sometimes 1t is necessary to plant a
Muscadine vine near SO as to fer
tilize the bloom OF the Scuppernong
in order that it may bear.
Grape vines feed on bone greedily
Every bone from the kitchen can be
utilized by burying at the root OF the
vine. Sweepings from the yard make
rich mulch. Waste water from the
kitchen is no longer waste water
when applied TO the grape vines
Soapy, washing-p powder dish water is
too valuable to throw away. Applied
to both roots and foliage it is highly
beneficial
Grape vines subjected to this prim-
tive mode of treatment should be
first cut away to two branches, train
ed, and then two collateral branches
allowed to each of the main
branches. A. NJ. LATHAM.
