WEEKLY IM GAZ ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1879. NEW VINEYARDS. Nearly, if not quite, one half of the 800,-200 vines which it is estimated will be planted in this county the coming season, will be set out in the southern portion of the county. The fact that Anaheim is the only community which has enjoyed a reasonable degree of prosperity during the past years of depression has brought people to realize that grape-growing is the most profitable industry that can be engaged in. Among those who have been tilling the soil in this vicinity for the past five years or so, there is an outspoken regret that they had not foreseen to plant vineyards instead of cultivating the unprofitable cereals. Still more self-reproaching are those who uprooted their small vineyards when the business was passing through that period of depression which no industry escaped. The resolve having been formed to plant vineyards, the next consideration is what variety of vines should be chosen. There seems to be a predisposition to plant extensively of the Zinfandel and Malvoise varieties, the former a claret wine grape and the latter a port wine grape. These varieties are probably the best to raise, as it is certain that the grapes will always be salable to wine-makers at the top figure. In the address of Arpad Harasdthy before the State Vinicultural Society, he used the following language, which contains hints which it may be found profitable to act upon: In this connection it becomes advisable to recommend to you the importance of planting seedlings. It is held by a number of distinguished viniculturists of France, and not without good reason, that seedlings are Correspondence Los Angeles County, Climatically, Agriculturally and Otherwise. I am in receipt of occasional letters from the east making inquiries in reference to Southern California and Los Angeles county in particular, and I propose answering very briefly some of the leading questions propounded to me through the columns of the Gazette. The first question is always in reference to climate, and those who know me will give me some credit for knowledge and judgment in such matters, when I say that in my opinion there is no section of the world that possesses a more perfect climate than this. None have a more genial and pure atmosphere; none more free from malaria; none where the mean temperature through the year is so nearly the same; none where one can sleep and live in the open air with less inconvenience, and none where one can repose under his own vine and fig tree with legs to offend or make him afraid. As our county is diversified with mountain, valley and plain, we of course have a great diversity of climate, so far as relates to temperature. On some of the mountain heights snow may be seen from four to eight months in the year, while in the valleys and canyons but a few miles distant, perpetual summer reigns. In the valleys back from the coast, the air is dry and heat most intense, while upon the plain stretching away from the foot hills to the ocean, and commonly known as Los Angeles Valley, the air is permeated with moisture from the ocean, and the temperature is modified and equalized by the trade winds which prevail from April to November. But with all the diversity of climate, I am not aware of the existence of malaria in any section of the tively semi-tropical exhibition it was nowhere. Apples and pampkins there were in plenty, but wine, grapes and honey were conspicuous by their absence. I failed to note a single piece of comb honey in the building, and I think that outside Anaheim there was but one exhibition of wine. A good deal of unpleasantness was exited by the award of the Committee in the brass band contest, which culminated in an angry and perhaps undignified letter in the Herald. Indeed, to the uneducated ear of your correspondent, it did seem that Heffernan's hand was the better of the two, but although a newspaper man I am willing to admit that an expert may know more of his own subject than an outsider, and am always willing to accept a judgment when, as in the present case, no imputation of partiality will lie. Old familiar faces from Anaheim were plentiful here during the week, and I am heretical enough to think that the Anaheim girls were better dressed than those of Los Angeles, and you, Mr. Editor, know how much pretier they are. Indeed, the Los Angeles girls have a curious fashion of suffering their bangs to run wild upon their faces, that gives them a firey, untamed appearance, as if some one had been tonaling them violently. We have been having a good deal of "editorial farming" here of late. Our friend Gen. Shields has taken up several columns of the city papers; he is farming them in best roots, and is raising what I shall venture to call a very "promising" crop. The editors are following suit and in heart rendling column after column the farmers are invited to come up and get rich and live happily ever after. Happy farmers, if they only knew it! Between ourselves, Mr. Editor, I fear this kind of writing does much to discredit newspapers amongst the much-advised farmers, who fortunately for themselves perhaps care as little for good advice as some others we know of. It is not a little amusing when we find imaginative column after Oct. 20th, infuriated at Little Mornin Born, Oct. 18th a son.

The postal department has adopted a new rule which will for some time be the cause of much annoyance to the mass of people who use the mails, although there is no doubt that the demands of the public service under the adoption of the rule imperative. Briefly stated, the new rule amounts to: All mail matter not addressed to a post office is unavailable and must be forwarded to the Dead Letter Office. For instance, should a letter be dropped into the post office at Anaheim addressed to someone on Anaheim Landing, Postmaster Bergins would be required to forward it to the Dead Letter Office at Washington, even if the person to whom the letter was addressed resided at the Landing. There has no discretion in the matter. To note the language of the order, "A postmaster may complete or perfect an address already made, but he cannot change its destination to a different person or different state without authority." The order aims to contemplate, also, that the one of the State shall be affixed with all addresses. To illustrate, better addressed "Wobert Wobinson, New York," would be unavailable, as there were three post offices called New York in several States, and the postal authorities mainly cannot divine to which New York letter should go. So it will be seen that a little care in writing the superscript on all mail matters is necessary to insure prompt delivery. GOVERNOR Irwin and Governor elect Perkins have jointly appointed Hon. Thomas Stoney, present County Judge of Napa City, Hon. I. S. Belcher, of Marysville, Hon. A. C. Freeman, of Sacramento, Commission to draft such laws and amendments to the codes as in their judgment is necessary to make the system of laws and statutes conform to the requirements of the Zinfandel and Malvoise varieties, the former a claret wine grape and the latter a port wine grape. These varieties are probably the best to raise, as it is certain that the grapes will always be salable to wine-makers at the top figure. In the address of Arpd Harasdathy before the State Vinicultural Society, he used following language, which contains hints which it may be found profitable to act upon: In this connection it becomes advisable to recommend to you the importance of planting seedlings. It is held by a number of distinguished viniculturists of France, and not without good reason, that seedlings are more vigorous than cattings owing to the great root root which they possess, and which lacking in a cutting. It is claimed by them that seedlings are almost sure to resist the phylloxera, besides possessing many other qualities. It would be well, therefore, for those among the members of the Society, who have the time and inclination, to make some experiment with the numerous wild rape-bearing varieties that are found along our creeks and rivers. If these do not of themselves produce valuable qualities for vine making, they may prove very valuable graft upon. Of one thing you may be assured, that they will make the very greatest set of bearers. NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS.

But with all the diversity of climate, I am not aware of the existence of malaria in any section of the county except in and about Los Angeles City, and even there it is doubtless due more to the neglect of cleanliness incident to a city having so mixed a population than to any other cause. I take pleasure in being able to say, however, that under the sanitary supervision of the present health officer, Dr. Lindley, great improvement in the cleanliness, and consequently in the health of the city, in being made apparent. This county is emphatically the home of the invalid, and is destined to become one vast sanatorium for the enervated and diseased in more rigorous climates of the world. After speaking thus generally of the climate of the county, I will say a word specially of Orange and its immediate vicinity. We have here this advantage over other sections of the county, that we are exempt from frost while having all the climatic advantages above described. This, to the fruit grower, all other things being equal, would decide him in his choice of location. The reason of this exemption is obvious. Orange is situated back from the ocean and next to foothills by which it is protected from cold north and east winds. Its location is also high and dry. Every observer is aware of the fact that the same degree of temperature will develop frosts on the moist lands while higher and dryer lands in the immediate vicinity will escape. As pertaining to climate I may mention another circumstance which will have great weight with very many of our eastern friends, and that is that we are entirely exempt from thunderstorms, cyclones, floods, etc., whence are becoming the terror of citizens of the States east of the mountains. The next question usually asked is what of your soil and productions? In answering this I wish to be understood as speaking of Orange. The soil is generally a sandy loam, with here and there patches of adobe or clay, and a black gravel of great depth and richness. The gravelly soil has come to be preferred for trees and vines, although in the early settlement of Orange the loam was exclusively selected. Experience has developed—the fact that the gravel retains moisture far better than other soils, and that trees and vines planted on it grow more rapidly and require less irrigation; that it is also richer in quality, more durable and more generally productive. Orange is specially adapted to fruit growing, although its soils are unsurpassed for richness, and capable of growingthe cereals in great perfection; also vegetables of all description. Were I to state the size and weight of many vegetables raised in and about Orange, your eastern readers would disbelieve me, so I will simply say that nowhere in the east was ever grown such enormous vegetables as are produced in our rich soil and genial climate. But Orange is best adapted to fruits, among which apples, pears, peaches, prunes, apricots, nectarines, etc., of the deciduous ones, chiefly grown, while it is home of semi-tropical fruits—of the orange, lemon, lime, olive, fig, citron, pomegranate, etc.; and the banana, although a tropical fruit, is grown here with success. Again no section of California or the world can produce so. We have been having a good deal of "editorial farming" here of late. Our friend Gen. Shields has taken up several columns of the city papers; he is farming them in beet roots, and is raising what I shall venture to call a very "promising" crop. The editors are following suit and in heart rendling column after columnthe farmers are invited to come up and get rich and live happily ever after. Happy farmers; if they only knew it! Between ourselves Mr. Editor. fear this kind of writing does much to discredit newspapers amongstthe much-advised farmers; who fortunately for themselves perhaps care as little for good advice as some others we know of. It is not a little amusing when we find imaginative column after column on agriculture written by men who,a writer in The Morning Journal pithily expressed it," never have touched a potato save with a knife and fork." I do not now refer to the doughy General because he I believe,has heretofore fought and conqueredthe savage potato its native heath.To be seriouswe are already too much inclinedto run after what is new,and do not need encouragement in that direction.Better go for what there is in sight,and stick to our wheat,corn,potatoes,and best of allour grape vines.The potato crop has hitherto been in an anomalous condition in your valley.The producer has suffered in summerfrom glut,andthe consumerin winterfrom scarcityThis can be preventedbythe useof someofthe cheap family driers likethe Plummer,thewhich attractedso much noticeatthe Fair Or why not cook them bya steaming process,and then grind into meal,forthis in truthisthe essenceofallthe so-called drying processes.E.F.C.

They will sit at once in Sacramento and begin their duties. These appointments are not made without the presence of any law, but the present elected Governors, in view of the fact that the time allowed for the session of the Legislature will be too limited within which originate and consider the proper amendments to be made, deemed it wise to cite the Commission above named, leaving the Legislature to compensate the members for their labore. THE Los Angeles Express has the follow-good words about Anaheim: The oldest colony in this part of the State splendid success. The handsome and fishing town of Anaheim, with its surreptitious vineyards was started as a man colony away back in the '60s. A tract of land was purchased and divided to vineyards and homesteads with a site eligibly located. The colonists through the usual ordeals incident to care in making desirable homes out of lands, but they succeeded in the end, the original allotments, many of which still possessed by the first colonists, are valuable. Anaheim is now a great producing locality, and with the splenation our wine interests are now growing these homesteads will steadily appreciate in value. SCOTLAND, the temperance reformers adopted the following pectinal declaration: Mental session for the thinker, Moral session for the drinker, Legal session for the statute-breaker, Prison session for the drunkard-maker. The depreciation of wheat lands in Napa may be realized in the fact that an ore field of Tom Hopper's at Yountville, in 1890, 2,800 bags of wheat. New average yield is 700 or 800, and it has a low as 600, Los Angeles Notes. EDITOR GAZETTE:—We are gradually settling down after the excitement of the Fair week, which brought together a larger course of people than perhaps ever must before in this city. On the whole it was a success and the receipts in gross are placed at $4000, but there is a feeling that the agricultural display was inferior to that of former years. It is a misfortune that the Fair comes too late for the grapes and the flowers in which we are so rich, and too early for the orange.

Instead of being discouraged at the result of last season's planting, the farmers of this section are particularly gratified at this prospect. Previous tests had demonstrated that the Odessa would resist rust under the most unfavorable circumstances; and the experience of last season shows that it will grow and mature with less moisture than any other grain. Barley sown by the side of Odessa wheat, on the same kind of land, failed to mature, while the wheat headed out and yielded a profitable crop. In 1877-78, the Odessa demonstrated its capacity to stand up under late, heavy rains. None of the wheat raised that season "lodged," while thousands of acres of barley were destroyed in that way. The best attribute of this wheat, however, is its freedom from rust. If the experiments which have been made in this county are not sufficient to convince a reference may be made to the States of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, where the Odessa wheat is grown now almost exclusively, and for no other reason than its rust-resistant quality. It is said that in Wisconsin the crop one season rusted slightly, and that the following season the farmers imported their seed from Minnesota, since which time there has been no sign of the enemy. This shows that the seed will after some years deteriorate, and it may be necessary to import fresh wheat from some other State, a proceeding attended with no difficulty and little expense. A farmer in Ventura county, who procured a few pounds of seed in Anaheim last year, writes that he planted it by the side of other varieties and it was the only variety that was not affected by rust. Prof. Dwindle, in a recent lecture on "Rust in Wheat," mentions the Odessa as a variety peculiarly free from attack. Indeed, if it was deemed necessary, instances might be multiplied to show conclusively that no apprehension need be felt on the score of rust. We come now to consider the quality of the wheat find in this connection by will Westminster Items.

We come now to consider the quality of the wheat, and in this connection I will give a quotation from the San Francisco Daily Produce Report of March 6th, 1879: WENAZ—The tone of the market is weaken, though prices as yet show no decline, and gift edge milling commands $173 per ctl. Anything not strictly chosen in every respect is difficult to dispense of, except at concessions. No. 1 at $170@$173,$and$165@$173,$for No. 2. Sales—20 tons of wheat at $150; 11 da., grown near Arahim from Odessa seed, sold to a miller at $173 per ctl. The Odessa wheat referred to in the above quotation was grown by John Gwin of this place. He received from the Commission Merchant who effected the sale following letter: SAN FRANCISCO, March 6, 78. DEAR SIR:—The wheat arrived yesterday, and I sold it to the National Mills at $173 per ctl. I think the wheat will make good, strong flour. Our millers seem to be favorably impressed with it. If it was not so late in the season I could get a good price for it for seed. Yours truly, RICHARD P. THOMPSON There is nothing in the appearance of Odessa wheat to command for it any special attention. The berry is dark and not large, and for this reason it is said that it will never command a high price for shipment. We will not here discuss that phase of the matter. It is, however, an exceedingly nutritious wheat, as it contains a large amount of gluten. It is related that in the province of Odessa it was viewed with actual disfavor by the people until a Russian official published an analysis of it and drew attention to its highly nutritious qualities. It would seem as if a wheat of such pronounced nutritive qualities would have little difficulty in forcing itself into the favor of enlightened people everywhere, albeit its color is a little "off." It should be borne in mind also that the flour made from Odessa wheat, which some of the readers of the Horticulturist may have seen, was given the same treatment in the mill as the ordinary varieties of wheat, whereas the Odessa requires a manipulation peculiar to itself to bring about the best results. There was a miller in Los Angeles some months ago (he may be there now), who said he had worked with Odessa wheat many years, and that there are very few millers on the Coast who know how to grind it properly. And it is the experience of intelligent matrons who have made bread from Odessa flour, that the ordinary methods of baking will not secure the best results, but that properly managed,the bread is superior to that made from the general run of flour to be found in the market,and is equal to that made from the Star Extra. On average good land forty pounds of seed to the acres should be sown,and on sandy land sixty pounds.The time of sowing seems to be a matter of little importance; one grower says that "no matter how early it is sown it will not head out in time to be affected by the April frosts.I have sown it at various times,and it always ripens at the same season."Another experienced farmer thinks the middle of February about the best time to sow although he believes there is little choice in the time. I think I have told you all I know about Odessa wheat, or at least all that I can crowd into the space allotted to me.Another year will add largely to the knowledge Odeana Wheat. [Richard Melrose in the "Horticulturist." for October.] Your request for an article embodying whatever information I have at hand concerning Odeana wheat, is gladly accorded to, as there is ample evidence that any article treating of this variety of wheat is eagerly read by the farmers of the entire State. It was first thought that its growth would be confined almost exclusively to the Southern Coast counties, but for some reason or other, the farmers of the northern counties betray an equal anxiety for seed. Two carloads of Odeana wheat were sent to Sacramento from Anaheim a week or two ago, and every pound of it was sold for seed at a fancy price, and "the cry is still for more." The farmers in the Coast counties were clamorous for seed, and even as I write there is a Ventura county farmer in town endeavoring to purchase eight tons for himself and neighbors. It may not be out of place to note the first introduction of this variety of wheat into this county. In 1875, Miles Broe, Commission Merchants of Anaheim, received from a friend in Minnesota a four-pound package of Odeana wheat. This package lay on the desk in their office until, by frequent handling, the amount had been reduced to less than three pounds. This was planted, and the product was a sack of good-looking wheat. This was again planted, and the product was fifty sacks. In 1877-78 these fifty sacks were planted and the result was good, considering the season. Indeed, the season was a very trying one on wheat, the heavy late rains testing its rust-resisting qualities severely. Other varieties of wheat were anothered in rust, but the Odeana was not affected in the most remote degree. In 1878-79, about seven or eight hundred acres were seeded in this vicinity, but the drought materially reduced the crop on some lands and on others it did not mature at all. But on naturally moist land, or land which had been irrigated previous to almanac time to be found in the market, and is equal to that made from the Star Extra. On average good land forty pounds of seed to the sore should be sown, and on sandy land sixty pounds. The time of sowing seems to be a matter of little importance; one grower says that "no matter how early it is sown it will not head out in time to be affected by the April frosts. I have sown it at various times, and it always ripens at the same season." Another experienced farmer thinks the middle of February about the best time to sow, although he believes there is little choice in the time. I think I have told you all I know about Odeana wheat, or at least all that I can crowd into the space allotted to me. Another year will add largely to the knowledge of the farmers here, as nearly every one will plant Odeana this year, and each will carry out his own theories in regard to it. These desiring a few pounds of seed for trial can probably be accommodated by Means: A.
