BROCCOLI SET OUT
Tlosehurg, Aug. 3 Broccoli
growers in tho Uinp'Iiia valley, un
daunted by the heavy Iohhc experi
enced during the extromo cold
weather of tho past winter, aro
planting heavier than over before
and It Is roughly estimated that
there will be approximately 6000
teres of broccoli set out thin sum
mer and fnll. If a full crop Is liar
Tented, this will moan nearly 2000
a r loads.
Riddle district reports 1200 acres
and Myrtle creek and Kiddle will
Kid another 1 000 to 1200 acre.
Riddle, Winston and 1 touch urg dl
- trie Is are expected to easily bring
the total up to 6000 acres.
The yield nu acre la in tho neigh
borhood of 200 crates, while the
average prico Is $1.25 per crate.
The cost of growing an acre of
broccoli Is about $50, bo that a
lear profit of $200 per acre Is pos
sible under favorable conditions.
Thin on the entire crop would net
fl, 000, 000 In round figure).
The one great feature of the
record plantings of this year its
that the Increased acreage proves
that the broccoli Industry Is now1
out of the experimental stage and
the crop is recognized aa being a
permanent factor.
Kxtenslvo experiment with var
ious st ra Ins and d If ferent brands
Of fertilizers are being made. It
was discovered during tho last win
ter that tracts fertilized with acid
phosphate were not damaged by
cold weather. This discovery was
made accidentally and will bo tout
ed In a thorough manner during
tho coming winter. If tho fertiliz
er Instills a cold resistant quality,
ft will be of great value to grow-

Rllvorton, Aug. 3 t Speolal -Fields
about Silver! on are being
rapidly cleared of grain shocks as
threshing crews ore at work on all
sides. Some of tho reports from
farmers aro to the effect that
yields are not equalling those of
liut year. Wheat In general last
year averaged around forty buohels
to the aero six) some varieties went
a high ns fifty or over. This yeai
average yields are from twenty ti
thirty nnd the better about thirty
five.
Oats show the same decrease
also; 60 to 60 buhels to the n
this year against 70 to 90 of last
year. 1 he grain appeared very
promising this spring but a late
coU spell while the grain was still
growing and a few days of extreme
hent in the enrlv summer as the
heads were filling out canned the
yields to be considerably less than
was at first expected. Stalks are as
tall or taller than usual so there te
no lark of straw.

cent net higher, September

At a meeting last Bprlng of wal
nut growers, members of the Cali
fornia Walnut Growers association,
those present voted unanimously
In favor of a resolution requesting
tho directors of the association to
put branding machines in univer
sal use in all plants for the 1926
Hea-son, says th& California Fruit
News.
The season, however, was too
close tit hand to make it feasible
to arrange fu the construction and
installation of a sufficient number
of branding machines to brand in
dividually r 11 of tho walnuts of the
association of this season's crop.
The branding machine that the
Walnut association ha been de
veloping however, I proving aat-
ractory ona tni method 01 put
ting the "Diamond" brand on all
walnuts of the association will
prove profitable, In the opinion of
Carlyle Thorpe, general manager
of the association. The mechani
cal difficulties are being overcome
and It is necessary In the national
idvertiiiing of "Diamond brand
walnuts of the 'California associa
tion that walnut be put upon such
basis that the consumer can
know that the walnuts purchased
are those of this particular brand
and association and not Imported
or other walnut which may be
offered under brand names that
may be coniuslng.
T
OE DRIED FRUIT
Crop conditions in nearly all
lines in California Indicate just fair
productions of dried fruits this sea
son, aside from raisins, which will
be a big yield, although evidence
recently indicate that thl produc
tion may not bo quite 00 large as it
was earlier thought, says the Cali
fornia Fruit New.
Tho Prune association Is dolntr
exceedingly well In Its carton busi
ness development and this 1 prov
ing to be a big success. The move
ment of carton prune 1 extremely
active and an even larger propor
tion ox tnis years production will
be packed In carton prunes bv the
association. The latter, in addition
to its previous cartons, has Just an
nounced plan to develop a one

some 30s and some 40. the pro
portion not yet determined upon.
