timber, easily cleared and comprises total of about 8O,OOO acres of the finest apple land known. The extremely low price of this land and the fact that the entire region is yet practically unde veloped are due to it's distance from railway facilities.
 No industry known is more profit able than apple raising, where a crop each year is assured as it is here. Fifty apple trees can be planted upon an acre of ground These trees begin bearing at four years and when seven years old will produce on an average eight boxes to the tree or 400 pounds of apples. The average price on the local market is $1.25 per box and 50 to 65 cents per box in the orchard. These apples sell in the eastern market at $2, $250 up to 8 and $4 per box.

lively aerated and fertile aspect to the soil surveyor. These soils are alluvial in character. The basis of their tilth is decomposed granite from the noun tain ranges washed and ground and pulverized by the action of the ele- ments and deposited with vegetable fertilizer in broad mesas, wide valleys and rich productive uplands. Such soils furnish the citrus trees with the rich mixture required by them, and the climate allows them to mature with every advantage necessary to their most favorable growth.
 The average middle west farmer is pleased enough to dispose of his hold ings a a hundred dollars per acre, and if he cares to investigate and look over San Diego County thoroughly, he will find acres and acres in the valleys of -the county returning to their owners five times that amount in net profits each year.
 Let him visit Escondido, Fl Cajon, ChuIa Vista, Lemon Grove or a dozen other productive valleys of the county, and ask what he can purchase for one hundred dollars an acre. He will re- turn a surprised and astonished per son, for the valleys mentioned contain many hundreds of acres which cannot be purchased for one thousand dollars per acre.
 After such a visit he will realize most distinctly that San Diego has a mag nificent back country, one unsurpassed the most prolific, favored, diversified and sun bIest on the five continents Our critic becomes an enthusiast a resident and a purchaser, as further investigation shows him that there are thousands upon thousands of virgin acres but awaiting the hand of the in te1ligent cultivator, lands acquirable at a fifth, and in many instances a fifti- eth, of what the productive areas of San Diego County are valued at Possibly far in excess of the aggre- gate future values of the valley lands of San Diego County will be those of the vast mesa tracts of the region, hundreds of thousands of acres. which in the very near future will blossom like the rose.
 Water is all that is necessary to bring about this state of affairs, and water is here for the conservation It is running to waste, at the rate of bill lions of gallons annually. but it is gradually being conserved and pre- served whereby these vast mesa, or table, lands, capable of producing the choicest fruits of the earth. will ap- proximate in value that of the deeper soiled valleys before many years shall have passed.
 Vast projects are under way for the purpose of storing the flood waters

from the mountains to the eastward in order that these rich mesas may be provided with what is their greatest necessity.
 Of these hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable mesa lands, there are tens of thousands of them purchasable today at a tithe of their potential values; lands worth from ten to twen- ty dollars an acre now, will be inacces- sible at ten-foId that valuation, when water shall be available.
 That San Diego County is growing is shown by the summary of popula- ton statistics for the year 1912, as compared with the previous year and 1901 ten years before:
 The population of the county has grown rapidly since 1901. Tn that year the population was 35,o9o. In 1909 it had increased to 49,000; in 1912 the population has increased to 5000.

There are a number of bearing or chards, some, fifteen years old, at the present time the planted acreage Is small, because the fruit has to be hauled thirty miles to a railway sta tfon. But these orchards have demon strated and proven the adaptability of the soil and climate conditions beyond the peradventure of a doubt.
 Peaches, plums, pears, vegetables, small fruits and all kinds of agricuitu- ral products grow to perfection. Bar ley, oats and wheat yield enormous crops; hay one to two tons per acre, and COTE in the lower elevations equal

The mountain dis trict from PaIomar on the north to La guna on the south is one of the best apple districts in the world. The apple and all kinds of deciduOus fruits are grown here in abundance without irri- gation. A crop failure is unknown, be- cause of the steady warm winds which prevail during the blossoming season.
