We ran rhalirne the world In produclnf the Bj'j.Ia, -( thmy, .lura and rune. Tbe jifarh, ajrIcot, nwtarine and ((uirune are all moderately umMfu) tilth na, and are rrrtaitly worthy cf a fair trial, and, indeed, are lure to be pruCtaV when planted near a!t water. Tliat all manner of imill fruit are a atima here gnei without aaying. Hut it is to the culti vation of 111 rune that our bortlculturlnU do and will ronliDoe to five their ajfcial attention. The charaiter if our awl, to pther wit)) our humid atmoapbere, makes this Te-erninrnt!j a runa country. Here Uia prune ran U raired to its hlghett lffedion. We hare no need of Irrigation, as in California, by whkh meana the fruit U robbed largely of its tone and rkb flavor. As fur croflt, the writer knows young, aii year !antd trera of Uie I'elite b'Agen and Italian varieties yield 27) pon la lo the trees ; eren last year, and that was undoubtedly an off aeaaon, Ut fruit acid on the marktt green at three cenli r pound. This girea us a result of 9 10 50 per tree, and Uing lV) treea to the acre, ought to make a grand total of t,X) per am. It Is eatirnated that bad this same fruit been dried at a reasonable eipenae, and placed on the market in that stale, It wou'd bare yielded one-half as much more. In what ! on'lrr beaten ran a farmer do and make such rlncely returns aa In what the prune and general fruit buninesi oflVri him? I'ut we bate beard some farmers demur and say they are afraid the t!nM la going to be overdone ; that there are already too many going into the buaineaa; or, "I will wait and see hot my neighbor ia coming out with hla orchard." bvh taJk is pure tl.lerdaah. Old fogiej said Die same thing in California fifteen years Hut time proved them Me pro-hets, and many find their land worth ten Md what it waa furmrrly. What was true 4 California will U true of the great I'ort jun l ba:n, and Thunton cwinty in patirular. This county ha jro!iar alvanUgee well reoognited for fruit railing over oll.er iortions of U.a state. Although tree planting may go at an unpmTIen!e.l ra!, it will I some yrars before sufi t lent fruit ran U ro.lure. to aupply the conitantly Inrreaa fig bjral demand, and after that we are sanguine of the time arriv ing when our matrhle Waablngtoo fruit, dril and green. w.il fj forth in train loads to compete and con'jtu-r la the maki o( ti mutVl.-J.
