Apaheim Gazette SATURDAY...JUNE 5, 1875. France and Austria have had their International Expositions, and now Germany proposes to hold an International Exhibition at Berlin in 1878. A movement is on foot to that effect, which needs only the consent of the Emperor to be carried out. More than consent—his cordial cooperation in getting up the exhibition is anticipated by its projectors. The Chicago Times says that it has given the subject of the wheat crop much attention, and believes that it is not as encouraging as the public has been led to believe. The extreme cold weather and the long-continued drought have injured both the spring and winter wheat considerably, and a short crop—probably not more than one-half the usual quantity—is expected. In a few localities farmers hope to harvest an average crop; but, as a whole, the prospect is the reverse of encouraging. In another column we publish the letter of President Grant, in which he denies that he is a candidate for re-election—unless he can be re-elected. The letter is the main topic in Eastern political circles, and its real meaning is the subject of much argument. The friends of the Administration say the letter sets at rest forever the Third Term scare, while on the other hand it is regarded by a large number to mean that Grant is again a candidate. It is clear that the President has not settled the question. CORRESPONDENCE from Boston says that the denizens of the "Hub" have LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS. No. 2. EDITORS GAZETTE: — One of the items which add to the attractiveness and prosperity of a town is the element of beauty. Some towns are well provided by Nature with conditions which enable the people to make their village very beautiful without very much outlay. These places are located among hills, or are on a rolling surface, which secures to each lot a fine house site, on which the house appears at best advantage and from which extensive views can be obtained. In some towns the possibility of raising grass and of forming a hard and living turf, enables the people to beautify their yards with broad, smooth lawns, and adorn the village, as a whole, by laying out their roads so that there may be a strip of lovely green sward on either side between the carriage-way and the side walk. Now, these things are denied to us; we have neither hills nor a rolling surface, nor can we produce grass, except at an expense of irrigation, too great to be borne at present. But we can make the most of the advantages we do possess. As was remarked in a former letter, we have a beautiful town because of the continual green of our vines during the summer, when the plains about us are grey and sere. The writer's first impression on coming here was that the vineyards would be a source of delight to all, provided they could be seen. And the attractive views presented in some directions this spring, establish him in the opinion that were all the vineyard owners willing they could contribute very much towards making Anaheim a perfect gem of a place—an emerald in the beautiful setting of prosperous farms. The beauty of our vineyards should be un- FARMING IN CALIFORNIA My previous letter voted to the extract and resources for Semi-Tropical California which may truthfully pass those of any State. We have no abundance of water unquestionably the richest and most capable of producing profitably, the largest ductions of any land in this State. With a climate and sufficient supply of water required to make profitable result with planted. Water has the only thing new branches of agricultural California an absolute necessity. In all other cases even unplanted choice of weather must be sideration. And it is important factor in Here climate and soil and water has been richly my readers why I have devoted consideration to the water question. Important question for for the greater portion The rain-fall being uncertain, a farmer so fixed that he can and where he please do this, makes farm a mathematical case now proceed to give those who are seated mates of the expert ordinary crop yield ferent crops, suitable who, of course, will turn, which will form port, whilst their friendations are growing begun to be produced beans, corn, barley and various descriptibles. I will stand der to secure the lands there should deep and thorough. The letter is the main topic in Eastern political circles, and its real meaning is the subject of much argument. The friends of the Administration say the letter sets at rest forever the Third Term scare, while on the other hand it is regarded by a large number to mean that Grant is again a candidate. It is clear that the President has not settled the question. Correspondence from Boston says that the denizens of the "Hub" have some reminders of the Presidential party, on the occasion of the Concord Centennial, in the shape of bills. The President stopped at the Revere House, and the modest boniface presented a voucher to the President's gastronomical proclivities in the shape of a bill for $2,269 49, including $1,000 for a forty-plate dinner. However, it is not often they have a live President with them, and they should consider it cheap. In response to a request made by Earl Russel in the House of Lords, as to what correspondence had passed between Great Britain and the continental powers in regard to the recent war alarms, the Earl of Derby stated that it would not be expedient for the English Government to publish the details of the correspondence, because it would betray diplomatic confidence. He stated, however, that there appeared to be a misunderstanding between Germany and France about the armament of the latter, and it was the object of England and Russia to correct this misunderstanding and use their influence in the interests of peace. This they had done. “If our friends of Kansas and Nebraska had only thought of it before,” says the Chicago Tribune, “they might have made a fortune, instead of coming to grief on the grasshopper invasion. The Department of Agriculture announces that it is now prepared for the beast. It will lay for him with high trenches, will catch him by the million, will squeeze oil out of him equal to the best fish oil, will purge his crushed and mutilated body and sell it for food, and the rest will be made into a fertilizer and spread thickly on the soil. If the grasshopper crop this year is as good as it was last season, there will be millions in it. As Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “If the whole world were burned up, fortunes would be made from the trade in potash.” In the early days of pasturing stock in California it was strongly against cattle raisers and about us are grey and sere. The writer’s first impression on coming here was that the vineyards would be a source of delight to all, provided they could be seen. And the attractive views presented in some directions this spring, establish him in the opinion that were all the vineyard owners willing they could contribute very much towards making Anaheim a perfect gem of a place—an emerald in the beautiful setting of prosperous farms. The beauty of our vineyards should be unveiled to the easy and free gaze from any point in our village. We have often felt like anathematizing the owners of beautiful gardens who have surrounded them with high board fences or brick walls. Many such selfish men exist in our old Eastern towns. The contrast, also very abundant, is refreshing, where the open fence permits the passer-by, whether he be rich or poor, sick or well, tired or otherwise, to gaze and enjoy fully as much as he could who owned the beautiful place. The veil which hides the loveliness of Anaheim from common view is not board fences nor brick walls, but the wild, bushy willows which grow along the borders of vineyards and form an unsightly and imperfect hedge. I have heard that these fences supply fire-wood, but I have my doubts whether the gain in this direction can compensate for the loss to the town in reputation and attractiveness, which would come if they were removed entirely. Now, trees are a blessing in this bare country; and I would not have a single tree, which can become an ornament, cut down. But these bushes cannot become trees of beauty, nor can they, by trimming, be made pleasant to the sight. I would not have them taken away and nothing put in their place; but I would have trees which can reach some size and symmetry substituted for them. Let me call the attention of your readers to some examples of what I mean. We all take pride in the poplars which surround one of our handsomest vineyards. These add very much to the beauty of the streets surrounding the vineyard and, indeed, to any landscape view of the village. Let any, who have not noticed it, take a ride along the road on the south of Davis & Bro’s addition on a clear day and study the effect in the view of these trees as they stand out in bold relief against the tinted mountains. I hope, by the way, that our landscape photographer, who is taking private views, will take a picture of Anaheim from the point at the extreme south-west corner of the addition referred to. He will find a ready sale for it I am sure. Then, as another example, let one stand between the Odd Fellow’s Hall and the ditch,and look across the vineyard and observe how attractive and beautiful is the home of Mr. Boldt. The trees about his house,and the chimney and the house nestling so about us are grey and sere.

A direct contradiction of this theory has come to our notice within the last few days. About four years ago Messrs. Goodrich & Polhemus and Wood & Athcarn leased the Laguna rancho, in Lower California, and stocked it with sheep. At that time the rancho was covered with a species of coarse, wiry grass, thin, and of but little value for pasture. Mr. G. Allen, who now has possession of the rancho, informs us that it is now covered with a luxuriant growth of alfalfa and burr clover, the seed of which was carried from the valleys by the sheep formerly occupying it. We find in the Alta a very full report of a speech made in San Francisco a few days ago by T. G. Phelps, on the subject of "Taxation and Reform." The address was intended to show the extravagance of a Dolly Varden administration, and the conclusion drawn was that the way to salvation was to elect Republican State officials. The following summary shows a remarkable increase of expenditures with the last ten years: | Year | Expenditures | | :--- | :--- | | 1862 | 1,146,000 | | 1872 | 3,062,000 | | State Printing | 31,000 | | Insurance | 40,000 | | County Expenditures | 2,450,000 | | State and County Taxes | 3,483,000 | Commenting upon the above, the Alter says: "The number of Constitutional officers is about the same as it was in 1892, and their salaries are less than they were then, and the population of the State has not increased fifty per cent., and yet the taxation has nearly trebled." Then, as another example, let one stand between the Odd Fellow's Hall and the ditch, and look across the vineyard and observe how attractive and beautiful is the home of Mr. Boldt. The trees about his house, and the shrubbery, and the house nestling so quietly, present a theme for an artist. Another example still is seen in the view enjoyed as one drives in on Centre street from the cemetery. The splendid, large sycamores in Mr. Kroger's vineyard, which line the avenue, are a delight to weary eyes as they return from a drive across the plains. The vineyards seen through the trees, and the continuation of this view as we approach town, which is made possible by the removal of the willows on Mr. Luedke's place, ministers real pleasure to those who drive or walk that way. Now, suppose that our willows were replaced by trees which would grow tall and retain symmetry and grace. It would not be many years before views, as delightful as those mentioned, could be enjoyed from any point. In addition to this, let it be popular to have the home lots open to view from the streets. We do not need fences or high hedges, but any low division will answer every purpose. It may not have occurred to many, but the true style of a fence which shall not detract from the beauty of one's place, is horizontal rather than perpendicular. Suppose that instead of these high, close picket fences, highly ornamented rails were used, two or three in each panel of ten or twelve feet. The posts may be made as ornamental as one pleases. Such a fence would protect the property, and would not obstruct the view. Fences are like laws—a necessary nuisance, but let us reduce the nuisance to the minimum if possible. Some may say that such a fence will not keep the boys from orange trees; but it seems to me that if boys have been so poorly trained as to trouble our fruit trees, a picket fence is no better protection than the kind of fence mentioned above. We want beautiful homes and a beautiful town. But I must not trespass upon my allotted space. Truly Yours, Pro Bono Publico. FARMING IN SEMI-TROPICAL CALIFORNIA. My previous letters have been devoted to the extraordinary facilities and resources for irrigation, which Semi-Tropical California possesses and which may truthfully be said to surpass those of any other part of the State. We have not only a greater abundance of water for irrigation, but unquestionably the best climate and the richest and most productive soil, capable of producing, successfully and profitably, the largest variety of productions of any lands in any part of this State. With a climate and soil like ours, a sufficient supply of water is the only thing required to make a certain and profitable result with any crop that is planted. Water has heretofore been the only thing needed to make all branches of agriculture in this part of California an absolutely certain business. In all other countries, when calculating the results of unharvested or even unplanted crops, the chances of the weather must be taken into consideration. And it is really the most important factor in the calculation. Here climate and soil are always right, and water has been the doubtful quantity. My readers will, therefore, see why I have devoted so much time to the consideration and elucidation of the water question. It was the important question for this part as it is for the greater portion of the State. The rain-fall being small, and at times uncertain, a farmer should always be so fixed that he can make it rain when and where he pleases. The ability to do this, makes farming in this section a mathematical certainty. I shall now proceed to give, for the benefit of those who are seeking homes, estimates of the expenses of cultivation, ordinary crop yield, and profit of different crops, suitable for new-comers, who, of course, want immediate returns, which will furnish them a support, whilst their fruit and vine plantations are growing and have not yet begun to be productive, such as castor beans, corn, barley, alfalfa, potatoes and various descriptions of garden vegetables. I will state first, that in order to secure the best results on all lands there should be two ploughings, deep and thorough, before planting of land. The irrigation necessary to such a system of crops seems to keep up the fertility of the soil, for lands which have been cultivated on this system for years show no signs of deterioration. Petroleum: 20 a row of Potatoes, 50 tons at $20...$4,000 00 EXPENSES.

I have placed both potatoes and seed at a low rate—the lowest they ever reach. They are now worth from three to five cents per pound by the central, and as the ordinary price is from 1/4 to 2/3 cents per pound, it will be seen from this that there is a fortune in potatoes. The lands in the northern part of the State, which have been devoted to the cultivation of potatoes for the last 20 years, have become tired of them, and the crop is now small and inferior to what it used to be. Our virgin soil is not only admirably suited to their growth, producing the very finest quality, and crops of such immense bulk, that I will not tax the credulity of my readers by stating them, but will merely say that the fifteen tons per acre upon which the estimate is based, is not by any means a large yield. My plan in making estimates is to figure the expenses high and the profits low, and any margin of profit thus obtained may safely be calculated upon. Beans: 20 acres of Beans, 20 tons at $40...$800 00 EXPENSES.

Assumer Romner's case has been re-opened, and will go before the next San Francisco Grand Jury. Col. J. M. McCoy, of General Sherman's staff died of consumption on Saturday at New York. Charles P. Lincoln of Mississippi has been appointed United States Consul at Canton, China. At Cleveland, Ohio, on Sunday John Keenan murdered his mother-in-law, aged 80, cutting her head open with an adze. He pretends insanity. At Vermilion, Ohio, Thursday four children of S. M. Christian were burned to death by the explosion of kerosene. The Portuguese Cortes has passed by acclamation a bill granting unconditional freedom to the remaining slaves, known as apprentices or freemen. Paul Boynton has accomplished the feat of swimming across the British Channel in his life-saving dress. He was in the water continuously for 23 hours and 40 minutes. According to late advices from Peru, the report of bankruptcy of Harry Melgus seems to have been premature, but there is no doubt of his extreme pecuniary embarrassment. The Iowa Episcopal Convention at Cedar Rapids on Friday, elected Dr. J. N. Eccleslon, Rector of the Church of Our Savior, West Philadelphia, Bishop of the Diocese of Iowa. The libel suit for $10,000 brought by Stephen Grant against the Portland, Maine, Press was decided on Saturday. The Press asserted that Grant was the biggest liar in the State. A verdict was given for defendant. The Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court of New York presented eighteen indictments against Charles L. Lawrence, the former Secretary of the American Club, charging him with smuggling. The United States Attorney-General has announced that the appropriation for the offices is already exhausted, and recommends general economy and re- now proceed to give, for the benefit of those who are seeking homes, estimates of the expenses of cultivation, ordinary crop yield, and profit of different crops, suitable for new-comers, who, of course, want immediate returns, which will furnish them a support, whilst their fruit and vine plantations are growing and have not yet begun to be productive, such as castor beans, corn, barley, alfalfa, potatoes and various descriptions of garden vegetables. I will state first, that in order to secure the best results on all lands there should be two ploughings, deep and thorough, before planting any crop. And this is particularly the case on new land never before cultivated. This is the practice of our best farmers, the men who always raise good crops; and when the cultivation is thorough it is sufficient to produce one good crop, of each of the above, nine years out of ten, without irrigation, the natural moisture and winter rains being sufficient. The irrigation is needed for the exceptionally dry years and for the second and third crops in all years. With irrigating, cropping never stops. The farmer can raise as many crops here in one year as he can in two or three any where else. Life is short, but here we make the most of it. Castor Beans. 20 acres of beans, 1,500 lbs per acre; at $75 per ton, 15 lbs. $1,125 00 EXPENSES. Two plowings... $00 00 Two harrowings... 20 00 Marking and Planting... 20 00 Seed... 2 00 1 man 3 mos. harvesting at $40 120 00 Sacks... 50 00 Hauling... 30 00 Profit... $783 00 If a man does all the work himself, as he could, the cash outlay would be only for sacks and seed. Cash is paid at the above rates upon delivery. This indicates a net profit of more than $36 per acre; besides it is quite possible to raise a ton to the acre without increasing the expenses. The advantage of this crop is that there is no expensive machinery required. The crop has no insect enemies, and the price and demand are unvarying.

If the owner does his own work, the only outlay would be $109 for sacks and seed. The crop is a moderate one; 50, 60 and even 70 tons are often raised per acre on our best corn lands. This is also a crop where there is but little expense for machinery. It is not customary to cultivate corn, castor beans, or similar crops after planting unless they are weedy. If the preliminary cultivation has been thorough, there is no necessity for any after cultivation, unless in case irrigation is required, after which may safely be calculated upon. Beans. 20 acres of Beans, 20 tons at $40 ... $800 00 EXPENSES. Two plowings'... $100 00 Harrowing... 20 00 Plowing and Planting... 50 00 Seed... 120 00 Sacks... 86 00 Harvesting... 100 00 Hauling... 40 00 Profit... $214 00 Or a net profit of $14 26 per acre. The cost of seed and sacks being the only item of expense, requiring a cash outlay, the actual returns to a working farmer would be nearly $600 00. And as this is supposed to be a second or third crop, the pay is sufficient. GARDEN VEGETABLES Are raised here in the greatest variety and perfection, and the hardier kinds grow admirably in the winter. Gardening, like farming, never stops. At present there is a limit to the amount that can be sold fresh, but in one year the mining markets east of us will take all of our surplus products of every kind. Our future market is without limit, and the demand will come as soon as we can get ready for it. [The foregoing is the sixth of a series of articles written for the Governor by Wm. B. Olden, Esq.

The crop is a moderate one; 50, 60 and even 70 tons are often raised per acre on our best corn lands. This is also a crop where there is but little expense for machinery. It is not customary to cultivate corn, castor beans, or similar crops after planting unless they are weedy. If the preliminary cultivation has been thorough, there is no necessity for any after cultivation, unless in case irrigation is required, after which the ground must be plowed or cultivated to kill the weeds, and prevent baking. Many run a small stream in a furrow, in every 10th row, for six to eight hours. On most of our valley lands this will thoroughly wet a strip 10 yards wide, by underground seepage. As this does not wet the surface, it does not cause the growth of weeds nor require after cultivation. Barley. 20 acres of Barley, 30 tons at $20...$600 00 EXPENSES.

If cut for hay, it will yield say 3 tons to the acre, and the expenses would be about $50 less and the net results about that much more. But as grain is always saleable and the demand for hay is limited, it is better to make grain. In most instances the above is a fair average of good crops. It will be seen that the machinery eats a large hole in the profits. Although barley does not show as large a margin of profits as either corn or castor beans, still it pays to raise on the two crop system. It is a winter crop, and can be sown early so as to be cut for hay or grain. Then the ground is irrigated, plowed and planted in corn, potatoes, beans, etc. When planted in corn, the chances for a full crop are as good as if plantal earlier. Our seasons are so long that the corn has plenty of time to mature, and if an early variety of corn is planted, it is quite common to raise a crop of beans afterwards—making three crops in one year from the same piece J.

A few days since Mr. Strong, who lives just north-east of Artesia, struck a four inch flow in his artesian well, at a depth of five hundred feet. This is the deepest well in the settlement, and one of the strongest. It is particularly valuable to that section of the country, to know that a strong flow can be had at such a depth. These deep wells are stronger and more permanent than the shallow wells, although of course more expensive—Express.
