WOOL IN LAST ANGELES —The gales Star estimates the wool county for this year at 1,800,000 and says the crop is much c Spring than heretofore. The price paid is from 11 to 13 cents, about 12 cents. In view of the gain between the price offered her quotations in New York, she finds that the wool growers should f bination and put their own wool market. It also makes another able suggestion, that there should scouring ships established cleansed before shipment, and crease the weight and increase in proportion and get rid of the dirt. The New estimates cleaning process three tons will to one. Well posted dealers on wool crop of 1873 at from 28,000,000 pounds. Ambitious Farmers. one of our ambitious farmers are deemed to make a stir in the world by giving a finger in everybody's pie besides down. At recent gatherings of agrarians, all sorts of irrelevant subjects discussed with ardor, and resolutions disposing of them as coely as if were sowing wheat. Judging from minor of the resolutions, one must conclude that our farmers are going largely on business of owning and sailing a fleet of merchant ships, while others are determined to change the currency of State, and still others seriously pro- to memorialize the Legislature for passage of a law prohibiting the re- ing of wines and spirituous liquors. Real matters engrossed a large share of attention, and it was suggested to the labor of our State Prison and its inmates in the manufacture of grain bags should be furnished to the farmers at actual cost of production, so that body else in the State shall be taxed support those institutions, and the land or more criminals they inclose, sole benefit of the farming community all this to crush out the "moneyy" of San Francisco, whose business is alleged; is to prey upon the latter in the matter of grain sacks. But. Reassessment of the Grape Crop. In consequence of the severe injury by frost of the grape crop in those counties, the Vinicultural Associations of Sonoma and Napa are moving to obtain a reassessment and reduction of the valuation of the grape crop of the present year. A committee has been appointed to investigate the subject, examine vines and obtain the real extent of the damage, and report to an adjourned meeting to be held in Sonoma in May. The principle upon which such reduction may be asked is one which is recognized in many ways by our General Government, and especially in reference to the internal revenue tax collected on distilled liquors. In case such liquors are accidentally destroyed by fire after tax has been paid on them, the revenue upon the proper showing, is refunded; and so with many other articles. The application of this principle in the case of our grape interest in this state seems equitable at this time. The industry is really in its fancy, and considering the very great importance of encouraging the production of a greater variety of crops, and the danger of depending so much on the wheat product, every favor consistent with justice and fairness to other industries should be extended to it. attention, and it was suggested to the labor of our State Prison and its in the manufacture of grain bags should be furnished to the farmers actual cost of production, so that body else in the State shall be taxed support those institutions, and the and/or more criminals they inclose, sole benefit of the farming community all this to crush out the "money bags" of San Francisco, whose business is alleged; is to "prey upon the fattening in the matter of grain sacks. But, satisfied with disposing so many sub- their own satisfaction, it was re- that the rates charged for freights on railroads of this State are ruinous agricultural interests." To this attached several corollary resolu- winding up with the following: "That, if we find it impracticable, present management, to obtain a reduction on such freights, we will ague subject, and insist that railroads by the money of the Government, be operated by the Government in interests of the people, rather than by persons for personal aggrandize- In the first place, it is admitted, all question, that the farmers of California are faxed much less by our rail- than those of any other section of the This thing has been debated so by the press, and the figures have shown up with such distinction, that is a piece of condensed obstinance to otherwise at this late day. It has proven, over and over again, that it high rates of freight exacted by logging, and not by the railroads, by our farmers suffered during the last season. But why should they re-government to the mere matter of logging and operating railroads? If would do the fair thing, they should demand that it take charge of all theraph lines, ferry boats, stage coaches, or lines, and every other facility conveyance of passengers or mer- use. Ambitious agriculturists are also to go into the banking business, propose to organize a system of co-ive banking, which shall put the assets of the State in the possession of sufficient to protect themselves the rings formed by capitalists to appeal to themselves the profits of industry." It would be waste of time either analyze all the impossible, imme- able, and absurd suggestions and actions which followed one another each rapidity at the farmers' conven- but if they would first pluck from their own eyes, they might be better able to see the beam in people's. There is many and many house in this State where every slice of the milk, cheese, and butter by the family is obtained at the grocery store; where every ounce hardened by fire after tax has been paid on them. The revenue upon the proper show- ing, is refunded; and so with many other articles. The application of this principle in the case of our grape interest in this State seems equitable at this time: The industry is really in its fancy, and consider- ing the very great importance of encouraging the production of a greater variety of crops, and the danger of depending so much on the wheat product, every favor consistent with justice and fairness to other industries should be extended to it. We understand that the Board of Directors of the State Vine Growers and Wine and Brandy Manufacturers Association propose taking steps to ascertain the damage to the vineyards throughout the State, with a view to present the name to the State Board of Equalization as a basis of adjustment of the tax on the same. We regard this as a good move for other reasons than the one stated. It will attract attention to the vines and induce vintagers to note more minutely the effects of the frost in different localities and on different varieties of vines, and will form the basis of future intelligent action. The information thus to be obtained may be rendered of great value in many ways,and may serve as a guide in the choice of localities for vineyards—the variety of grapes to be planted, and their treatment when planted. A similar system of inquiries in reference to the effect of the frost on fruits of all kinds might be rendered of great value, and some might and ought to extend their inquiry to other crops, and have the facts gathered and published for the general information of the producing classes. Our State Agricultural Society might in this way prove itself of great service to those whose interests it was established to foster.—Sacramento Record. A Good Yield of Corn. Mr. James W. Layman, a young farmer from Minneapolis, Hennepin county, Minnesota, who was encouraged by his brother to come to California as the paradise for those who till the soil; arrived in Los Angeles county on the 22d of April, 1671, and immediately selected a little piece of ground about five miles from Santa Ana; he secured 28 acre for $21.50 an acre, and commenced to build a house. Though the season was too far advanced to undertake to farm his land thoroughly, he put in enough seed to get a supply of corn for the next year. Finding that the average rainfall was light in his section, he joined in a company of ten and bought tools for boring artesian wells; after sinking 76 feet he found a good flowing well. He was now fixed for raising corn, and in February he commenced planting, partly as an experiment to find out the best time; he concluded to do the bulk of sufficient to protect themselves the rings formed by capitalists to appose to themselves the profits of industry. It would be waste of time other analyze all the impossible, immutable, and absurd suggestions and actions which followed one another such rapidity at the farmers' convenbut if they would first pluck the from their own eyes, they might be better able to see the beam in people's. There is many and many house in this State where every piece of the milk, cheese, and butter used by the family is obtained at the grocery store; where every ounce of hard or ham is purchased, instead produced on the farm; where table, or are brought from a distainment. It is also notorious that the system in vogue throughout the State. are exceptions, is crude, unskillful, undefined. Immense areas are scratched, seeded, and left to take care of selves, trusting to Providence for the excuse offered by the apoloour farming community. to the effet that they have to contend against the antages of a new soil, different cliand changed surroundings, can only strucured as proclaiming the farmers to be better than blockheads, whom years of experience has failed to improve. We are actuated only dives of sincere regard toward the not the soil, and were it otherwise. would not take the trouble to out the absurdity of the course we endeavoring to pursue.—Commerereral. CALIFORNIA IN LOS ANGELES.—The Los Annal estimates the wool crop of that for this year at 1,800,000 pounds, as the crop is much cleaner this than heretofore. The price being from 11 to 13 cents, averaging 22 cents. In view of the great market in New York, the Star suggests the wool growers should form a companion and put their own wool upon the field. It also makes another very sensigation, that there should be wool shops established and wool before shipment, and thus deliehe weight and increase the value portion and get rid of the freight on the crop. The Star estimates that by the long process three tons will be reduced. Well posted dealers estimate the crop of 1873 as from 28,000,000 to 4000 pounds. The corn is warehoused with Bennett & Page, of this city. An ear as thick as a man's arm has been left at this office as a specimen of the crop. The stalks averaged fourteen feet in height. The land selected was bought from the agent of Mr. James McFadden. It is low, damp land (the neighborhood is called Gospel Swamp) and had neither rain nor irrigation during the growth of the corn. Mr. Layman wanted hay for his horses, and on the 15th of May, 1872, he put in an acre of alfalfa, which he has now cut eight times, each time except the first getting a ton and a half of dry hay, and the grass was ready to cut again when he left home.—Alfa.
