No Disbursement Here

Thruout this section of the
county there is little of the dis
couragement so manifest in the
dry season of 1911, altho the
amount of rainfall this summer
has been equally scant. The gen.
eral sentiment seems to be that
while there may be other years
as trying as 1911 was, the local
farmers will know better how
to withstand the drouth period,
and be better equipt to do so.
They are learning what crops
may be relied upon, are increas-
ing their herds Of horses and cat
tie, and as more ground is brought
under cultivation they are max
ing certain that hereafter no
hard winter shall catch them
without sufficient forage, neces-
stating heavy purchases of win
ter feed at ruinous prices.
1t will be several weeks before
threshing returns are in, but here
are two examples that go to show
that the small grains will give
coop returns this season, even
tho drouth very materially les
sened the yield. w. A. Peters

the two parent trees on the Tibbets place at
Riverside.
The Parent Trees and Their Owner.

The trees stand there still, and with a little
fence about them. While many a man has be-
come a millionaire and an army of people have
made independent fortunes in the orange in
dustry in California, and as many more people
have become very wealthy in the rising tide of
real estate values by reason of the cultivation
of the navel orange, Luther Tibbets has grown
steadily poorer in purse. He sees all about the
scene of his first experiments with the seedless
orange trees beautiful homes and rich orange
groves worth tens of thousands of dollars, all
made by reason of the navel orange.
1t is the old story of the poor inventor and
the business man who buys the inventors pro-
duct for a song and makes a fortune. Mr.. Tib-
bets reasoned that the first trees can from the
government at Washington and that therefore
they belonged to the public. He gave away hun
dreds of buds from his parent trees that would
have been eagerly bought at SIS and $40 each.
He became involved in litigation concerning the
irrigation water on his property, and that con-
sumed all his assets and several years of his
life. He mortgaged his orange grove to travel
with an invalid wife and the mortgage fore
closed and took the property.
There have been several propositions in the
California legislature to pension Mr.. Tibbets,
but he has never favored the idea and it has
come to naught. Last fall the old mar was
seriously i'll in his rude cabin, where Riverside
county has provided for his simple mainte-
nance for several years, and he was taken TO
the poorhouse.

No Other VARIETY Planted NoW.

Nineteen-twentieths of all Of the oranges
now grown in California and Florida are seed
less navels. No other variety is planted nova
days, while four-tfths OF all the old Seeding
groves have been by long and patient horticul-
tural processes budded into seedless orange
trees. The present prices for seedless fruit in
the Or%ange-gr0Wing localities show the demand
for the fruit. Prime navel oranges now sell on
the trees at $1.45 and $l.55 a box and second
grade navels seel on the trees at $l.10 and $1.15
few contracts have been made for the best Of
them, delivered at the packing houses, for 40
cents a box.
The navel orange tree does not grow so large
nor does it bear so heavily as the Seeding va
riety. A 10-year-old navel tree usual bears
three boxes of fruit, while a Seeding of like age
will bear five boxes, but a 20-year-old Seeding
tree sometimes bears fifteen boxes OF fruit, and
ten boxes IN a navel tree would be extraordi~
nary. How long a navel orange tree will bear
fruit in profitable quantities is a matter of dis
cussion in all bodies of horticulturists. Time
and experience only will tell that fact. Seeding
trees, however, bear fruit in large quantities,
as late as forty years and there are Seeding
trees at Mazatlan, Mexico, which were plant.
ed by the Jesuit padres in 1854, and which still
yield ONE fruit every year.
A dozen different orange growers in Califor-
mia, says the New York Times, have exercised
horticultural science so as to produce better
qualities of navel oranges. These qualities are
a smoother and thinner rind, more spherical
fruit and sweeter juice. There is the Thomp-
son seedless improved orange, the kid-glove ma
vel, the Durate navel, the Pomona excelsior ma
vel and the Raymond Malta n%avel--a peculiar
combination Of Malta blood and the original ma
vel orange.

First Navel Oranges.

1t is proposed to celebrate in Southern Cali
fornia this year the thirtieth anniversary of
the planting of the first naval (seedless)
orange tree with a mammoth orange fair to
which competition from o~range-growing local
tiles all over the world may be asked. Natu-
oranges came to be cultivated, for this variety

Navel Orange Growing Doomed.

Orange growing doomed all over southern
California. In 1886 over 5000 acres of new
land that had been sheep and cattle ranges
were converted into navel orange groves. In
1887 over 5000 more acres were made orange
groves, and in 1883 some 100000 navel or
ange trees were planted in 5000 acres of COM
paratively virgin soil. The money there was
in growing navel oranges was on every ones
lips in southern California. Some men who had
gone earliest into producing the new variety
made almost incredibly big profits on their in
vestments. The most spontaneous and remark
able real estate boom ever known anywhere oc-
Cured in southern California in 1886 and last
ed until 1883.
Towns like Pomona, Ontario, Redlands, Tus-
tin, Monrovia, Sierra Madre, Corona, High
lands, and Azusa, in the orange-growing local
tiles were unknown before 1885, and grew to
several thousand population in a few years.
Land that had gone begging at $50 an acre
sold readily at $500 to $1,000 an acre, when it's
adaptability to navel orange production was
shown. The railroads brought 10000 people to
southern California every month during 1887.
Everybody talked navel oranges and the great
profit there was in the business, and people who
had nurseries of orange trees grown from navel
buds made fortunes in one or two years.
In 1888 and 1889 tiny budded trees suitable
for planting in groves sold for SLIGO and So
each. All the seedless orange trees in this
country have been propogated from buds from
Lower coast gazette., 1913-05-03

The handful of orange growers in California
IN those days began to pay attention to Tibbets'
wonderful fruit. The next year the two trees
bore. half a bushel of oranges and from that
time the name and fame of Tibbets' seedless
oranges went throughout southern California.
Like all new ideas and unique things in this
world, the Riverside navel orange had it's doubt
ers and p%essimists. There were only a few or
ange growers in southern California in those
days, and a small part of these dared cut back
a few OF their seeding orange trees to gaunt
stumps and experiment with budding from the
Tibbets navel orange trees. The greater part of
the growers believed the seedless fruit was onlv
a short-lived curiosity.
HortcuNm1sts Opposed 1t.
It is funny to read nowadays of the argu-
ments then advanced by California horticultu-
rlsts against a general growing of the navel
orange. Mr.. Tibbets, however, had full faith
IN the new variety, and he sent samples of the
new fruit to horticulturists and fruit growers
throughout California. In 1880 the lucky
Baldwin orange grove of seventy-fve acres
was planted to navel oranges exclusively at
Sierra Madre. 1t was the first important rec
ognltlon OF the commercial superiority of the
new fruit. Six months after a syndicate of
Englishmen planted a larger tract in Riverside
to trees budded from the two original Tibbets
trees.
Orange groves were few and far between in
those days, but by 1888 the majority of trees
set out had been budded from the Tibbets trees.
In 1886, when the Baldwin and other groves
began to bear the new navel fruit, the era of
planting seeding groves came quickly to an

of oranges has revolutionized the orange mar
kets of the world, has added millions OF dollars
to the wealth OF California and Florida and
has converted great stretches of chaep cattle
and grazing lands into valuable orange groves.
A dozen communities Of 5000 and 10000 peo-
pie, OF beautiful homes and smart business
ways, have grown up from barren tracts in
southern California because of the rapid expan-
sion of the orange trade, which in turn was
brought about by the cultivation of the naval
orange.
Thirty years ago Los Angeles, the orange
metropolis of California, was a slow, plodding
pueblo of 5000 people. To-day it is a thriving
city of 125,0O0 people. The trans-continental
railroads earned $5,200,000 in freight on oran-
ges last year, and 80 per cent Of it was for ma
vel orange tonnage. Since the navel orange
has been cultivated some $57, 900, 900 has been
invested in orange growing in California-that
is, in land, trees, vast irrigation enterprises,
packing houses, ETC., and over 10000 men have
left other pursuits to engage in orange growing
and marketing.

end. The enormous prices paid in San Fran
cisco and Portland, Ore, for the new seedless
oranges set the growers wild. James G. Blaine
had a sample box Of the fruit in. Washington,
and he wrote enthusiastically about it for the
American Agriculturist.

FIRST Seedless Orange Tested.

One Of the tiny seedless orange trees was
chewed up by a COW, but for five years the two
survivors were carefully attended. Then each
tree bore two oranges. 1t was the summer and
fall of 1877. A fence was built about the trees
to protect them from wind and tresspassers,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Tibbets patiently waited
while the fruit developed from green bullets to
great golden, juicy, pungent globes-the first
navel oranges ever grown outside the swamp
on the Amazon. On January %, 1878, two Of
the new oranges were cut open and critically
tasted by a little company OF orange growers at
Riverside. A new star of first magnitude rose
that day in the horticultural armament.
