captain w. "A. f1tCn, one OF the
most practical fruit men of the Mer-
cedes section, states that be is
charmed with the possibilities for
the growing of citrus fruits in this
Valley. Ia his orchard of three acres
Capt. Fitch has growing orange, le-
mon, grape fruit and fig trees. In
orange trees he has the following
varieties: two hundred Satsumas
and three hundred of the Pineapple,
Ruby and Mediterranean Sweet, and
three hundred and twenty of the
grape fruit. These trees are all
grated on citrus trifoliata stock
and are growing beautifully. They
were planted one year ago last Jam
uary and during the past winter
the therm ometer registered as low
as %. Capt. Fitch states that the
orange trees did not lose a leaf;
that the tender branches of the
grape fruit, however, did suffer
eighty. Some of those nearest to
the canal seepage where the
growth had not been checked, were
killed back to the bank placed
around them to protect their roots.
His Villa Franco lemon did not suf-
fer in the least. He also said there
are trees in his neighborhood three
and half years old that this year
were bearing as many as 100 orang-
es to the tree. One year ago last
January he planted ten acres in
Magnolia figs and now his trees are
yielding about ten pounds of fruit
to the tree. Speaking of other devel-
opponents in the Lower Valley, Capt
Fitch says:
Attention is now being turned to
the growing OF staple crops-corn,
cane, cotton and alfalfa. Some of
the far mere are also going in strong
on the California pink beans. Sever
al experiments made during the
last two years have proved quite
successful. From twenty to twenty
five bushels per acre were made and
they sold from Sc to 312c per pound.
There are sixty pounds to the BUSH
ell. This is a 90-day crop and it can
follow on the same ground where a
crop of cotton has been raised and
harvested. They make more on
pink beans than on cotton. Probab.
ly as many as three hundred acres
will be planted in these beans
around Mercedes this fall" Next

are elated over the fact that the coast is
to have a new racing circuit which will

progressing rapidly. We have accomplished

My sole purpose in going north and visit
ing other coast cities is simply to plan for
the organizing OF a TACllB clICulIt ploAA
which 1 hope will give California the best
racing possible.
Already 1 have my plans formed, and
all that is necessary now is to get right
down to real hard work and make the
thing q reality. 1 have the assurances OF
the manufacturers, the dealers, the racers
and others to cooperate with the national
board. Harmony PREVAILS and 1 am sure
that we will be successful in our attempt
to give Callfornians even better auto rae
ing than they now enjoy.
According to our plans, we are going to
