Southern Californian. CHAS. A. GARDNER...Ed'r & Prop'r SATURDAY APRIL 20 1873 BUGS. There are, we are sorry to say, people in the world mean enough to receive a newspaper for a considerable length of time and enjoy its use as long as they can without paying for it, then, when they think they are likely to be called upon for a settlement, return a copy to the Post Office, marked "refused" but never say a word about pay, nor come near the publisher to compensate him for his trouble. They probably think the amount is too small for the newspaper man to go after, and that they can shirk the issue entirely in this unmanly way. We have encountered probably half a dozen such cases in the course of our experience. Fortunately for humanity they are scarce, but some few isolated instances do exist. We do not refer in this to those who simply owe a subscription; that is perfectly honest and we can stand it. But to the man who would use the result of our labor and money for months without the slightest recognition of any obligation to pay, we give fair warning that we shall require an honest adjustment of the matter at his hands, skulls, to-wit; That there cannot be no certainty of crops in this country except from thorough culture or gation, from natural or art moisture; the rain is too uneven and cannot be depended upon; the greater part of our valley nothing but good culture is required, when it becomes universally failure in crops will be unheard. Our valley will become notice only as the richest, but the most tainly productive in the State. The farmer does not attempt cultivate more than he can thoroughly good condition, and ways gets a crop. The scarrifing tributes an equal amount of on four or five times as much grief and bets his labor and seed that will come and that he will crop. Once in a while a gambler gets a prize; once in a scarrifying gambler has a reason and gets his prize. On occasions good crops being given prices are usually low, and after his patient waiting his reward small. These men are perishers and most of them always an excuse to avoid work is too wet when it rains and too when it don't; when their crops it is the fault of the country if they have a good one they reat at the labor necessary to secure and at the low price for which sells; they are never content imagine that in some other part the country they can grow without hard work and ground We do not refer in this to those who simply owe a subscription; that is perfectly honest and we can stand it. But to the man who would use the result of our labor and money for months without the slightest recognition of any obligation to pay, we give fair warning that we shall require an honest adjustment of the matter at his hands. TYPE ON THE FREE LIST. We have the pleasure of receiving from our efficient and courteous Representative in Congress, Hon. S. O. Houghton, an assurance that he will favor the abolition of the heavy protective tariff on type, and leave the supplying of that all important commodity entirely free to the competition of all the world. In a communication upon the subject Mr. Houghton writes: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Washington, D. C., March 30, '72. CHAS A. GARDNER, E.Q.,—Dear Sir:—Your letter relative to placing type on the free list has been received this day. I have already investigated the subject sufficiently to be satisfied that the bill you refer to should be passed, as the present tariff on type clearly protects the few to the detriment of many. Yours truly, S. O. Houghton. We feel gratified at finding in Mr. H so faithful a representative of the interests of the Press and feel assured that the printers of America will not fail to recognize and reward the services of those who shall relieve them from so oneorous burden as this tariff has become.

We have had, so far as rain is concerned, an average season; the ground in the early part of the farming, was thoroughly soaked by the rain, for the first time during the past three years. There is no piece of land in this valley that could not have been deeply and grumbler and most of them always an excuse to avoid work is too wet when it rains and too when it don't; when their crops it is the fault of the country if they have a good one they reat at the labor necessary to secure and at the low price for which sells; they are never content to imagine that in some other part the country they can grow without hard work, and spend half their time traveling from end of California to the other they don't intend to reform farming I would be the last man persuade them to stop in the city. I would gladly wish them speed, for bad farmers are an loot to any new country, whilst farmers are a standing advertiser in its favor. Strangers judge country by its products, and crops raised by our scarriers small inducements to land hunt to settle. Fortunately there some men in our settlement not only know how, but do and whose crops show what country will do under good treatment. Their examples and pres must and will be followed, and this happy consumption is read croaking and grumbling will owe truly, Wm. R. Olden Anaheim, April 17, 1872.

We have had, so far as rain is concerned, an average season; the ground in the early part of the farming, was thoroughly soaked by the rain, for the first time during the past three years. There is no piece of land in this valley that could not have been deeply and thoroughly cultivated, and in every instance in which this has been done the crop is most satisfactory. The crop is good just in proportion to the amount of labor expended in the preparation of the soil. The dry north winds of the past few days have furnished a crucial test of the advantages and disadvantages of good and bad farming. The farmer, confident in the assurance that his deep tillage had provided an ample store of moisture for his growing grain, smiled at the efforts of old Boreas to blast and wither his crop; whilst the scarrifier looked with dismay at the certainty of failure which was the natural result of his ill-directed and ineffectual labors. These last have a most child-like trust in the beneficence of Providence, and think if they only scratched a little dirt over their seed that the clouds and old mother earth will do the rest; the others, who believe that Providence helps those who helps themselves, trust nothing to chance, and having done good work, feel no anxiety for the future. When the scarrifiers of California have, through their own indolence and inefficiency, lost a few more crops, they will at last get this truth hammered into their thick dailies, and we wish it success.
