Beyond this stage, it originated. Once its food value was | is impossible to preserve the clear recognized, its career as a valuable | yellowish green shade demanded by shrub was launched. Records show that its culture was introduced into all Mediterranean countries by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans. ‘Today, it is grown in South Africa, Australia and America. In the United States the olive can succeed only in California, parts of Florida, Arizona and New Mexico. The Franciscan padres cultivate olives | sor¢ about their missions, and a variety known as the Mission is one of our best growers. Olive trees may be propagated by seeds. These trees are supposed to have a more sturdy root system and to produce more fruit, but the seed- lings must be grafted, which takes more time in the long run to obtain - a tree. Olive trees in California are usually grown from cuttings taken from the tree when it is dormant, or in January or February. Paying crops may be harvested from olive trees in their fifth or sixth year. From this age on, the trees will pro- duce fine crops. Olive trees live to be hundreds of years old. The stage of maturity at which the fruit is gathered depends upon the use to be made of them. If they are to be pickled, they are harvested the consumer. If ripe olives are de- sired, the consumer now demands an almost black fruit. Olives must be gathered by hand or they will become bruised and of no marketable value. If the fruit is to be made into first-class oil, it will be picked when it is in its prime—ripe and saft, but not too Many steps must be taken to in- sure fine fruit for the markets. Mechanical graders sort them for ;sxze‘ and cleansing is accomplished | first by a blower which removes leaves and any light material cling- |ing to the fruit. Next, running | water removes dust or dirt. Lye takes out bitterness and salt is hardening. Ol is obtained from the olives as soon as they are gathered. At first the oil is cloudy, owing to the pres- ence of tiny particles of soiled mat- ter. Perfect clarification is the result of many settlings in vats made of tin or concrete and as many decanta- | tions. Filtration usually is used to hurry the clarification. Cotton, pure | sand and filter paper are the filter- ing materials used. Olive oil is highly nutritious. Ripe olives are, too. In this day, when | you are likely to size up food accord- the olives grown in the United States come from California. In 11939, the United States imported 62,866,000 pounds. In 1939, Cali- fornia produced 23,000 tons of olives and the United States production | for this year was 3,608 short tons of | olive oil. 5 Births Reported E‘Ifl Myer ll;ds':er :l!l. T Sohs ah.
