How Apricots Pay.

M. B. Fassett, of the North Ontario Fruit Company, vouches for the statement that one Southern Californian fruit rancher sold his crop of Royal apricots this year from three acres for between #I,OOO and #l,lOO. That is nearly #4OO pei acre for apricots, and if any body has * better showing we would like to heat from him. The price received was only one cent a pound, so that there must have been about twenty tons, to the acre. —[Ontario (Cal.) Record.
