old tbe trees will produce not less than 

 i r )il an acre net income, or si^dl) net for a 

 ten-acre tract. A plantation of 640 acres 

 could therefore be rented, with profit to 

 the manager, at SfciOO an acre, or 2,W<i fr 

 ten acres, as it would give him an income 

 .of !ji50 aji acre, or SoOO on each len acres, 

 making a total income of s:!^,00(l from a 

 mlanttffion of CM acres. But there are 

 [plenty of men well able lo manage such 

 plantations who would be happy enough 

 to lie able to make one-sixth of that sum, 

 or .s".,000 a year, and there are many others 

 with a small income, such as clerk-;, 

 teachers, bookkeepers, and all persons on 

 small salaries, who would be independent 

 with an annual income of 1,0(10, or *lnO 

 an acre from a ten-acre tract, with :i cer- 

 tain assurance that the income will in- 

 crease from year to y"a> for several 

 generations. In a pamphlet published 

 by Kllwood Cooper of .Santa Barbara, the 

 statement is made that some of his best 

 trees, eialit years old, produced two thous- 

 and gallons'of berries to the aere, and the 

 Huropean standard is eight gallons of 

 berries for one gallou. of oil, which gives 

 a product of t\vo hundred and lifly gal- 

 lons of oil per acre*. The oil finds a ready 

 market at s,"> per gallon, which gives an 

 income (.f Sl,i",0 an acre for the best eight- 

 year-old trees In an exceptionally good 

 year. The net iin-ome from such a crop 

 wo-.ild not be less than si, 000 an acre, and 

 there can be no doubt that Mr. Cooper's 

 statement is correct, for lie lias no motive 

 fur deception, and is of such probity "f 

 character that his word is never ques- 

 tioned. But the estimates we have made 

 are based up. m an income of but HIOII an
