16 100 Tons of Spineless Cactus Forage Per Acre Per Year. Field Scene at Santa Rosa The Annual Yield In the summer of 1906 in the coast cli- mate of Sonoma County, California, on the black heavy adobe, a soil thought wholly unsuitable for cactus, there was produced an average of forty-seven and one-half pounds per plant in six months' growth, from single rooted leaves. These yielded 180, 230 pounds or over ninety tons of forage per acre. One may reasonably expect, under fa- vorable conditions, ...to obtain a yield up to 100 tons of good forage per acre per year. The Spineless Opuntias will produce nearly double as much feed the third and succeeding years as they do the second season of planting. Of course, it would not be expected that there would be more than one-fourth of the above yield on desert soil without irrigation. Still there could be expected almost twice as much, as mentioned above, where the climate is warm and where there are one or two light irriga- tions each season. 17 Of Easy Culture and Rapid Growth Burbank's Spineless Cactus Always Grown from Cuttings, Never by Seeds Everybody knows that Baldwin apples, Bartlett pears and our favorite peaches, plums and cherries can not be raised from seeds; just the same laws hold true with the improved Opuntias, but fortunately they can be raised from cuttings in any quantity with the utmost ease more truly they raise themselves, for when broken from the parent plant, the cuttings attend to rooting without further atten- tion, whether planted right end up, bot- tom up, sideways or not at all.
