Show California Olive Grove Frodnces 3000 Barrels of Oil. The largest olive grove in the world is at San Fernando, Cal., and its output this year beats all records. There are 1400 acres in the grove, with nearly thirty miles of drives. One hundred and fifty Chinese are at work gathering the crop. The grove this year will produce 3000 barrels of pure oil. This is as many olives as the whole state has ever produced in any preceding year. Other orchards in California are bearing as well in proportion, and the largely increased product is expected ex-pected to materially reduce the price of California pickled olives and olive oil. |
