What would our readers think of uh if 
we suggested to transient visitors Ui pur¬ 
chase all their fruit and agricultural pro¬ 
duce from the northern portion of the State?

published, principally, in the interest of 
the debris ridden fanners, a

CALIFORNIA ORANGES. 
The Time* acknowledges the receipt of 
a box of tine oranges from the managers of 
the Citrus Fsir in Los Angeles, California. 
At n meeting of the Citrus Society it was 
decided to send one hundred boxes of 
oranges to editors In different part* of the 
Wintry! W. I*. Large, of this city, who i» 
now in Los Angeles, having the disposition 
of one bo*, ordered it sent to the Tima r, 
and it was sent free of expense by Wells, 
Fargo & Co. The bn* arrived safely, and 
the oranges wen- greatly enjoyed by the 
Time*' force and their families. 
Any person, whether of a horticultural 
turn of mind or not, could not hesitate in 
recommending the soil and climate of Cali¬ 
fornia for orange culture, after eating 
Some of the orange* grown in that State. 
Tin- fruit i* equal u flavor and size to that 
of Florida or any other orsugo growing 
country. If any better oranges can be 
raised, wo want to see and taste them. Cal¬ 
ifornia is rapidly making for itself n proud 
name as an agricultural and horticultural 
fclate, and now that jt is fully proven that 
h tropical fruit as oranges can be suc¬ 
cessfully grown there, another feather will 
be added to her 
cap.

Ir is not yet too late to do a good work 
In the way of tree-planting in towns and 
Villages and along country roads. In theory, 
•very real estate owner in the country is 
supposed to have interest enough in the 
enhancement of the value of his own prop¬ 
erty to mako the improvements suggested. 
But these generally go by default for the 
each acre of land.
