Southern California SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1822 CHAR. A. GARDNER...Ed'r & Prop. The Oil Regions. We were favored, on Tuesday evening last with a call from Monser E. W., and Otto Germer, brothers, the former of Erie, Penn., and the latter of Pleasantville, in the oil regions of that State. They are travelling through Southern California, having previously gone through the greater portion of the Union. From them we learn some curious and astonishing facts concerning the gigantic proportions of the oil business. It seems that the famous oil regions are limited to a tract of country 10 by 50 miles in extent, comprising parts of the counties of Armstrong Clarence and Warren and nearly all of Venango. In this district are 3,500 pumping wells, of which the average daily product is 18,000 barrels of 43 gallons each, worth, in a crude state, $4 per bbl. The wells are from 500 to 1,900 feet deep, and are sunk in 30 days at a cost of about $6,000 each. A well ordinarily lasts only two years when it runs out. The value of the product of 1871 was (when refined.) $35,000,000. The iron tanks in which it is stored are of vast size, there being one 85 feet in diameter and 24 feet high, with a capacity of 20,000 bbls. Oil City According to previous in my communication, I give here no much talked of (scientific) treatment of the silk weasel. What I will say on the subject is that theory, but from my experience ocular demonstration in the Soil of France, Spain and Italy. Have procured some good eggs (in Win if possible, because if it be in wet weather they would probably have on the way and die), keep the seeds in a cool place, packed in and the tin in a wooden box. Spring comes, and the mulberry has put forth its second leaf bring the seeds in a warm place where the temperature stands eighty-five degrees of any mon thermometer (I have seen a women in France put the owl wrapped in a clean cloth, in the straw bed or mattress to h them). Spread them on a cloth and cover them warmly, a few days they will hatch soon as they show life give to some of the young leaves, which must be picked from the tree, being thoroughly dried by the sun. Feed lightly at first simply spreading the leaves on top of them three or four time day. As they advance in size, must from time to time be re-spun upon shelves covered with paper, and fed according to their Increase of School Facilities. One of the most gratifying features of our progress, and the strongest recommendation that could be given of the character of our people is the rapid increase of school facilities in this county. Our courteous and efficient Superintendent, W. M. McFadden, Esq., favors us with the following exhibit: ANAHEIM, Jan. 29, 1872. EDITOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN.

Speaking shelves, I would recommend use lumber if possible on account its acid, resinous smell, which believe, a great injury to the wood but to use clogs or hurdles, may osier or split reeds, of any length, and about two and a half inches in length.

It seems that the buckboard (the vehicle on which mails are carried in that country) was attacked by Apaches, three persons killed and one more wounded, the mails destroyed, the driver barely escaping with his life. Does charity begin at home, are the people of Arizona entitled to any protection at the hands of the government under which they live? There is a military force at the command of the general government strong enough to occupy every square mile of Arizona, and there is no good reason why these Indian robbers and murderers should not be immediately exterminated. The land in some portions of San Diego county is so poor that the natives find difficulty in raising a disturbance on it. Los Angle Star. True for you, brother Star.

As we are now likely to have a prosperous season and many of our farmers are asking what is the best crop to put upon their lands, they should now endeavor to learn as much as possible in regard to this very valuable textile plant, and at once commence its culture by setting at least one acre for the purpose of propagating the plants, preparatory to putting out for field culture the coming year. The fiber being contained on the inner bark cannot be destroyed by insects, while cotton may be totally destroyed. It will grow on our moist lands without rain. It does not require replanting; after the first year needs no cultivation, simply harvesting. It can be harvested and ready for market in one day. It will yield at least 3000 lbs per acre worth $325 per ton. The plant will thrive in any good sandy or loamy soil. It grows and prospers and matures perfectly in the zone of cotton or of cane, of tobacco or of corn, land is hardier than either. A better fabric than cotton and a cheaper one than silk has become indispensible, and Ramie supplies both requisites in one staple. It is WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY! FEBRUARY 224, 1872.

C. A. CUSHING. (COMMUNICATED.) ANAHEIM February 10th, 1872. EDITOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN. I noticed an article in your excellent paper concerning the growth of Pea nuts, in the State of New Jersey. This article will show how to grow them in this locality. Prepare the land the same as for corn, any land that will grow corn will do. Check your land off three feet between rows, hull your nuts carefully so as not to break the nut, then plant eighteen inches apart. After the nuts are up cultivate between the rows, enough to keep the land clean. They ought to be planted in April. When they are ripe which will be about the first of October pull them up with your hands and turn the nuts up so as to expose them to the sun, in a few days they will be dry enough to sack, when they are fit for market. I am convinced from experiment that they are a profitable crop in this locality. We can beat New Jersey, and I think we can raise more than they for use (very clean and brushwood or mustard taken in an upright position your shelves, passing end into holes for that not very thick, but yet sufficient the whole circumference of the shelves except a portion meant to enable you to feed them.

When they are ripe which will be about the first of October pull them up with your hands and turn the nuts up so as to expose them to the sun, in a few days they will be dry enough to sack, when they are fit for market. I am convinced from experiment that they are a profitable crop in this locality. We can beat New Jersey, and I think we can raise more than they do in North Carolina where the crop is very profitable. From one to one and a half tons can be grown to the acre in the best lands around Anaheim. I have never known them to be less than five cents per pound, often as high as ten cents wholesale. They are a safe crop, when other crops are eaten by grasshoppers, they will not eat your pea nuts. Every farmer should plant a few acres, it will not materially interfere with other crops, as the time of gathering will be before the corn is ripe. None of the disadvantages attend the crop here, as in other States, such as rainy weather at the time of gathering, or frost. Here we dry in the sun; no necessity of a dry house.
