Oliver Twistlike, the milling thousands of Oakland ap- pntr th oitV freiehted hia-h with nrodime and always- they return home empty. Millions of dollars worth of goods annually thesf farms deposit on Oakland wharves and with Oakland commission men, and yet the demand is far in excess of the fupply. As Oakland -grows numerically and commercially jthe demand for -farm products will become even more intensified, as will likewise the opportunities for farming at excellent profit. No man with willing pair of hands and a working brain will make a mistake if he buys Alameda county farm lar but if he contemplates so doing he should, get action at once, for outlying rear estate is. enhancing very rapidlyp in; value.

The cause of this appreciation is twofold; that 1. it "Is due to the ever increasing demand for farm products and to the ever-increasing encroachment of the city on the Greater Oakland having 'expanded westward to "the waterfront is now expanding eastward toward aBsiB.tahce the SUNDAY -TRIBUNE has given us a great success. oAlameda County Farmers. idly and- the demand for real estate is brisk and growing.

VERITABLE GOLDEN FRUIT.

In the area lying betweeh San Leandro and Hayward the fruit trees shower gold. From 18,000 to 20,000 tons of apricots are grown and marketed there annually. The present year, buyers for the are offering $70 a ton for apricots on the trees, and this is 'a banner year for "that fruit in the locality mentioned although the crop is a total failure -in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, owing to late frosts the 'cleanup for the season will compare more than favorably with that of a good many really valuable placer mining propositions. A circumstance which tends to show that the soil has more than one short cut to wealth. Of'; the apricot yield about 12,000 tons are canned, 8000 dried and the remainder sold in the fresh state in the markets of Oakland and Earlier the current year the trees so' freighted with apricots it was nfessary to knock off at last, one -third of the green fruit that-the weight of the ripening crop would not prove' too heavy for the limbs to support.

In a normal year, that is, in a year when the apricot crop is general throughout California, the fruit commands an average price of $40 per ton. CHERRIES ARE RIPE. Frult growers and real estate, men in San Leandro Land of the Cherry and its attondant. annual carnivat state, that the cherry crop this year Is unusually abundant. The citizens -of that town are now preparing for the yearly Cherry Carnival, scheduled for June 9 and-10.

The Royal Anne and other of the so-called ycherries, are much in-demand for canning On the Meek orchard tract, "centiy sutdlvided and placed on the raarketin sites'- of one4- acre and -more, a purchaser of five acres has contracted with the cannery people: for tbev disposal of the cherries on his place for a period of five years at '5 Scents per pound.

The area contiguous -to-San Leandj-o and Hayward given over to fruit raising, approximates 10,000 acres.

The aggregate annual yield a value of over $2,000,000. The value of the yield per acre is about $200, or an average of $1000 for a 5 -acre tract. This represents the value of the 'fruit crop only, however, for in addition is to be taken into consideration in summing up the worth of your from one to ten-acre tract as a self-supporting agent, the value of the berries and vegetables which can, be raised in the soil beneath the trees. Raspberries, currants and other products of similar variety thrive and. yield well under such circumstances.

as do likewise potatoes and other vegetables. Take garlic for instance. Now, garlic Is not particularly euphonious as a name, nor is it attar of roses to the. smell, and, yet, like other humble agents, it serves well those who taxe the trouble to cultivate, it. Four cents per pound is bid: for garlie and at that price those who cultivate it In this county are coming money Just as easily as though they worked in the.
