Los ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING.

three important fruits that are keep
ing company with apple development.
Cherries in particular are in much
favor with our orchardists on account
of the high class of the fruit and ready
market therefor. This season was
marked by a bumper crop, the returns
from which were so satisfactory as to
not only attract widespread attention.
but also cause many of our growers to
divide their orchards into equal parts
of apples and cherries. The Queen
Anne and Black Tartarian have proved
to be we'll suited to our district, and
in some cases single trees bore $3.50
to SIS worth of fruit. In size the Beau
mont cherry is equal to those of Vaca-
vile and also possess a piquant and
distinctive flavor, as well as fine meaty
texture.
In line with tho unusual freedom
from pests of the Beaumont orchards
pears have not suffered seriously, as
in some sections, from blight. From
pears the returns have proved very
encouraging, reaching in some cases
reported yields of $500 an acre from
four -year-old trees. The fruit has
found a ready market in both green
and dried form, 21a cents pound Tor
the former and 10 cents for the lat
ter being about the average price.
Taken collectively this widespread
planting of apples and other deciduous
fruits has resulted in the redemption
of practically an entire valley, once
farmed dry. 1t has insured to the re-
gion a productive capacity per acre
far in excess of past records, and has
brought about an increase in Beau
mont's population from 300 to about
1850 people. In the same time over
$50 houses have been built, all classes
of business established and the sale
of nearly half a million dollars worth
of property to over 1000 different home
seekers. Nearly every state in the
Union has contributed it's quota OF
settlers. and the community has now
passed the embryonic stage and Is
commencing to move on its own mo-
mentum.
Furthermore, Beaumonts resurrec-
ton has been an eyeopener in back
country development, showing as 1t
does, the wonderful diversity of prod
ucts it is possible to grow in the noun
famous elevations. Surely no greater
horticultural paradox has ever deVel-
oped than the sight of Beaumont grow
ing apples amid snow and frost, prac-
tically within sight of Riverside and
Redlands, the worlds greatest citrus
belt.

lined especially for farmers who de.
sire to put their dairies on q more
profitable basis. In order to arouse
special interest in the matter OF i'm
proving the dairy herds Messrs. Nc
Kay brothers, breeders OF Holsteln
cattle at Buckingham, Iowa, have OF
fered pedigreed bull calf as pre-

will be held during the short course
C. NJ. Winslow, secretary OF the

A recent report published In
Hoard's Dairyman, gives the following
record Of seventeen cow test associa
tions of the Rhineland province In
Germany. In the report for 1908 the
average annual production for 3,4l4
cows amounted to 6,405 pounds Of
milk testing $3.50 fat or 308 pounds
of fat per COW. The cost Of feed II
figured to be $72, the gross income
s1O0.SO leaving a net profit per COW
Of $3.50. 1t is encouraging for the
Iowa farmer to read such report fol
although the Iowa COW Is at presen
only producing 140 pounds of fat pei
year, yet it shows what can be done
if we go into dairying in a systematic
and business like way, and 1t show!
how it may be possible to farm oul
more expensive land at a profit.

FLOWERS ARE
HIGH THIS YEAR
ROSES AND PolNsETTAs ARE IN
GREAT DEMAND AT YULE.
TIDE-vIoLETS SCARCE

/ H. =. Yes a " =
1 Christmas flowers are high. One
item on the Christmas bill Of expenses
has been found that cannot be directly
traceable to the Payne-Aldrich tariff,
the scrapegoat of the Omnipresent
high cost Of living. Flowers will be al
, most as dear this season as any of the
other things that go to make the oc-
casion remembered. This Is the belief
Of number Of the florists Of Ottumwa
who report that flowers are selling this
year at prices somewhat IN advance
over that asked a year ago. Although
the advance is not precipitous, it, is
noticeable.
The chief essential Of most Of the
flowers at Yuletide is that they be red.
This characteristic is found to good
advantage in roses and poinsettas.
most as popular at the holiday season
as the chrysanthemum Is at Thanks
giving The flowers are home grown
from So to IS dozen. American
beauty roses are selling for 81 q
dozen and up, with the cheaper
varieties quoted from So to IS q dozen.
The flower in strong demand at this
! SSdSOu vi JAc yOal III SlAI puA pS0So
and table decorations is the carna-
ton. The flowers are much scarcor
this year than usual, but can be OBJ
tanned from 81 to SIS dozen.
Orchids Not Kept In Stock.
/ Violets will cost between rs cents
and IS a bunch, according to the num-
Der and quality of the flowers. The
violets have to be imported from
California and sell for more than usual
| because Of the demand and scarcity.
Orchids will not be on sale, although
they can be obtained through special
orders.
One of the chief features of decorat-
/, ing this. season will be wreaths. The
conventional holly and mistletoe
| wreaths will be in abundance. In adj
dition will be the evergreen or i'm
mortelle wreaths. Cape flower
wreaths are on display in the forists's
shops, making beautiful appearance
with the bright red flowers.
| Potted plants are selling to some ex-
tent this year, although the orders for
these will have to be placed early to
insure their being filed. A slight de-
mand for lilies has been noticed by
the dealers.
