PREFACE 



The earlier publication of this series, entitled "One Thousand 

 Questions in California Agriculture Answered," met a keen demand 

 and an edition of five thousand copies was sold in less than two years. 

 In order that those who find that book useful may have additional 

 information as soon as possible, it has been thought best to publish 

 answers to another thousand questions before undertaking a revised 

 edition of the first thousand. This book is therefore in no sense a 

 revision or republication of its predecessor. Particular care has been 

 taken that nothing in this volume shall be a duplication of the 

 preceding one, and the reader therefore needs both of them, twice as 

 much as he needs either of them. 



The compiler is thoroughly gratified that this branch of his work 

 is found to answer so good a public purpose and he cannot refrain 

 from stating that the way to secure just such information from week 

 to week is by subscription to the Pacific Rural Press. 



E. J. WICKSON.
