CALIFORNIA FARM
FREAKISH Thing
Term Is Not Applied TO Agri-
cultural Sections

Los Angeles, Nov Is LpS--In the
language OF Southern California,
farm" Is the word commonly used
TO describe a freak establishment,
like the alligator nursery. II It is
place where one raises oranges or
lemons, 1t is grove. Cattle, hogs,
beans, beets or kindred products
come from ranch.
Freak farms are on the increase
In this section, and the increase is
not altogether welcome. The Cham
Der OF Commerce here issued
friendly warning 10 new settlers that
hero really Is no more room for
more fur bearing rabbit farms and
that the individual investor who
enters the rabbit breeding indus
Try for the purpose OF selling furs
will find himself disappointed"
So far, however. the alligator
farm sphere does not seem TO be
oyercrowded, and there are at least
two prosperous ostrich farms,
goldfish farm, lion farm, two but
,erfly farms, frog farm, several sill
yer fox farms ard a number OF pi-
gc0n farms.
There used to be two frog farms,
but the owner OF one, who ambi-
tiously stocked his lake with Louis
lana frogs quit because they were
100 clever for him. He couldn't
catch enough TO make living. An
other man, however finds his frog
arm in the San Fernando valley
very profitable. He says there is
plenty OF demand for frog meat
in Los Angeles.
Widely divergent products are
turned out by the two butterfly
arms in this section. One is de-
voted TO the breeding OF rare butter
flies; the other, operated by a wo-
man, produces tea trays and other
novelties bcautified with butterfly
Wings.
ON the lion farm at FL Monte,
about rs lions live on five-acro
tract planted with North African
SHRUBS and equipped with buildings
Of North African architecture. Here
