Agricultural and Horticultural Items. In answer to a request from San Francisco, the editor of the Gazette, who is the agent of the Associated Press for Anaheim, telegraphed the following to the papers which compose the association: ANAHEIM, May 11, 1880. Crops of all kinds are in excellent condition, and the probabilities are that the yield per acre will surpass that of any previous year. The rye fields, of which there are a great number, look magnificent, the stalks in many of them being eight feet high. The wheat crop also promises well. The most of it had to be mowed to free it from weeds, and since the decapitating process was performed the wheat has grown so rapidly that the weeds have been choked out. No sign of rust has made its appearance, not even on those varieties of wheat which are most susceptible to attack. The Anaheim Odeasa wheat is known to be rust-proof, but other varieties were sown with but little hope on the part of the planters of realizing anything, but they seem doomed to a disagreeable disappointment. A great deal of hay is now being cut, and the present scarcity of that article will not long continue. The hay is of fine quality, the late rains doing no damage. The shevalier barley and the common barley give promise of an immense yield. On the whole, there is not a speck on the agricultural horizon; and there is no country in the world which today can at all compare with this, either in the golden expectations awakened by the surety of an New Fields for Industry. [Correspondence New York Evangelist.] We buy Manilla bemp and jute to the amount of thirty million dollars yearly. Why not raise the fibrous plants here? In addition to their use in the rope-walk they make, you know, a valuable paper stock, or material for making such paper as you use. The trouble hitherto was that we could not pay the American laborer in the slow process of its preparation in competition with the Asiatic or Mexican laborer. Indeed, it is conceded that America cannot succeed in any field of industry where manual labor is depended upon. But sooner or later the inventive Yankee asserts himself; and we have him now in a field that is of as much promise to him as was the cotton field to Whitney and his "Gin." We never had any trouble in raising the fibrous plants. Indeed, Professor Waterhouse, of the Washington University, St. Louis—and let me quote him on the labor question to bear me out—says, addressing the Bureau of Statistics of New Jersey: "With the high price of labor in this country, no manual preparation of the fibre can successfully compete with the cheap hand-work of Europe. The abutilon arricenée, the cultivation of which you have so forcibly recommended, seems susceptible of development into a source of public wealth. The plant grows throughout the West in rank and wild luxuriance. With invasive march, it has taken possession of large tracts of land. Its tenacity of life and rapid spread renders its cultivation a far easier task than extermination. There are to-day in the suburbs of St. Louis, stalks of abutilon eight feet in height. It is claimed that the fibre is superior to hemp in whiteness, strength, durability and cheapness of production. Unlike Indian jute, abutilon needs no naturalization. To the manor born, it exhibits a stubborn determination to occupy its heritage." He thinks the jute crop of India is worth political Notes. The national political cauldron is now seething and boiling at a great rate, and the "leaders" of all political papers are devoted to dissecting this prominent candidate and enologizing that. The result of the various Republican State Conventions which have been held so far places Grant in the van, but his nomination is not at all certain. Blaine's strength nearly equals that of Grant, and the plumed knight's supporters look upon his defeat as something too improbable to be given serious thought. Their belief is not even shaken by the prophecy of a celebrated Baltimore horologist who writes to the New York Herald that, having critically examined the heavens, he can with certainty predict that John Sherman will be the Republican nominee for the Presidency. On the Democratic side of the house the signs all point to Tilden as the coming man. There is no doubt that if the "two-thirds rule" did not stand as a barrier, he would be nominated by the Cincinnati Convention on the first ballot. Of one thing there is no doubt: If Samuel cannot get the nomination himself, he can force the Convention to nominate his choice, which the great political authority, George Coolie Gorham, says is Judge Field. But it must not be supposed that the national circus is absorbing all the attention of politicians. A glance through our exchanges shows that the local arena in the various counties and Congressional Districts of this State is being prepared for the grand entree of political riders, acrobats and clowns. The fight for the Democratic nomination for Con- varieties were sown with but little hope on the part of the planters of realizing anything, but they seem doomed to a disagreeable disappointment. A great deal of hay is now being cut, and the present scarcity of that article will not long continue. The hay is of fine quality, the late rains doing it no damage. The chevalier barley and the common barley give promise of an immense yield. On the whole, there is not a speck on the agricultural horizon; and there is no country in the world which to-day can at all compare with this, either in the golden expectations awakened by the surety of an abundant harvest, or in the mild, balmy, yet bracing climate which prevails here, compensating for all the drawbacks peculiar to this country. In horticulture the outlook is equally flattering. The vineyards are growing vigorously, having passed the season of frost unharmed. The high price of wine stimulated the vineyards to great efforts to preserve the vines from harm by frost by the use of burning tar, weeds, etc., but fortunately these preventives were called into requisition but once, and they proved effectual. Many of the vineyards here have been replenished this year, by digging out the vines which have done service for the past twenty years and planting better varieties in their place. A hard frost would, of course, have seriously damaged these young vines. The budded orange trees are full of blossoms and will probably yield largely, but complaint is made that this is an "off" year with seedlings. This rule apparently holds good with all other fruit—the budded peach and apricot trees are blooming profusely and the seedlings sparsely. A correspondent of a Los Angeles paper protests against what he calls "the insane passion for irrigation." He says: Here is the ground thoroughly soaked with moisture yet remaining from the rains which have fallen so plentifully during the winter and spring. Dig down a couple of inches or so almost anywhere, and you find yourself coming upon wet soil; and of course it is wet all below. And it will be many weeks before this moisture is exhausted. So that, except in the case of plants whose roots penetrate but a little way below the surface, it really is not necessary to do any watering for some time to come. I should not hesitate to say that an orange orchard of a few years' growth, for instance, ought not to be irrigated before July at the earliest. Persistent cultivation will do it far greater service than any watering. Watering will only attract the roots upwards, will thin tire sap and weaken the trees. And yet, unless I am very much mistaken, we shall see not a few of our orchardists flooding their lands before the period I have named. From a careful inquiry we are satisfied that the wheat crop thus far, all over the country, gives splendid promise. We have heard of but a trifling amount of rust, and that between Los Angeles and Santa Monica and even this rumor is unauthenticated. The Messrs. Lankershim and Newhall both think that if the crops continue to progress So far as your readers in New Jersey are concerned, a note addressed to "Mr. Samuel C. Brown, Secretary of the Bureau of Statistics, Trenton, N.J.," will elicit all information about the bounty of that State for the production of the fibres. And for the information of the general reader, permit me in on the first ballot. Of one thing there is no doubt: If Samuel cannot get the nomination himself, he can force the Convention to nominate his choice, which the great political authority, George Coolie Gorham, says is Judge Field. But it must not be supposed that the national circus is absorbing all the attention of politicians. A glance through our exchanges shows that the local arena in the various counties and Congressional Districts of this State is being prepared for the grand entree of political riders, acrobats and clowns. The fight for the Democratic nomination for Congress in this district is creating a greater commotion than the people generally have any idea of. The most prominent candidates for the nomination are Wallace Leach of San Diego and R. F. del Valle, late Assemblyman from this county. The contest between these two grows more bitter every day, each recognizing the other as the opponent most to be feared. Leach has the advantage in the struggle so far, but del Valle's managers are so wily and so full of political resources that it is hard to tell what will be the outcome. Satterwhite of San Bernardino is also a candidate for the Democratic nomination. Baker of Santa Clara and Pacheco, the present representative, are candidates for the Republican nomination. For local offices, the contest will be probably more than usually bitter. There is no doubt that the Workingmen will place a full ticket in the field, and as they have an excellent organization, they will put the other parties on their mettle. From the mass of rumor which reaches us regarding the various probable candidates we compile the following: T. E. Rowan will contest with W. R. Rowland for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff. Another rumor credits Rowan with designs upon the County Clerk's office, in opposition to A. W. Potts, who is a candidate for re-election. E. F. Spence will probably be the Republican nominee for Treasurer, if he can be induced to accept. The Democratic nomination for this office is sought by Judge Moffatt, of San Fernando, and E. E. Hewitt, former Treasurer. These two gentlemen are political Goliaths, and when once the row begins, small fry had better stand from under. Moffatt as Chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee, and Hewitt as the Attorney-General and political adviser of the Democratic forces in the County, each wield a mighty influence, and no matter which gets the nomination, the Republican David will have to wield a sling of unusually heavy caliber to vanquish his opponent." C. E. Miles will be pushed for Recorder. The last Democratic Convention treated Mr. Miles shabbily, and it would be nothing more than right to give him another chance. San Francisco Market.

bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom From a careful inquiry we are satisfied that the wheat crop thus far, all over the country, gives splendid promise. We have heard of but a trifling amount of rust, and that between Los Angeles and Santa Monica and even this rumor is unauthenticated. The Messrs. Lankershim and Newhall both say that if the crops continue to progress satisfactorily for two weeks to come all danger of rust will have passed. The season is an exceptional one in one respect. Generally the barley, which is everywhere looking well, is cut from the first of June on. This year, owing to the cool weather, the headers will hardly get to work before the middle of that month. With wheat the harvest usually begins about the first of July but this year it will be delayed about two weeks. — Herald. Here are facts in relation to grape culture which are well worth pondering: A friend who has had great experience in all kinds of cultivation says that one man can do all the work of a 40-acre vineyard himself, up to the third year after planting out. Then he will require help which will cost to the extent of perhaps not more than $100. That year the vineyard will begin to pay. The fourth year he will realize more than expenses from it, and the fifth year, at a very low estimate, he can calculate on getting $2,000 from his crop. This is based on an estimate of a vineyard with one thousand vines to the acre, and yielding the fifth year five pounds to the vine. The yield will increase from year to year until the vine will bear, say, fifteen pounds of grapes. At the low price of $20 per ton, the income would be from forty acres, with that yield, $6,000. The cost for help, all told, need not exceed $1,000 a year, so that there would be a net income of $5,000 per annum from such a vineyard. — Express. St. Petersburg, May 8. — The beetle, which ravaged the crops in Poltana and Ekaterinaalar in 1818, has been found in large numbers in the larva stage, and peasants fear to sow the spring crop. The greatest alarm prevails in Tiflis in consequence of the discovery of locust eggs. Unless they are exterminated before development a famine through the Caucasus will be inevitable process, are as cleanly taken on as intricate as the carcass of an animal. There are no slivers. We have seen a quantity of fibre from the mallow grown wild on the meadows between Newark and New York. It appears of fine quality, is very strong, and were the State of New Jersey given over to raising mallow, it could hardly glut the market, so many are the uses to which it can be put. The mallow is an ill-weed that grows apace in all neglected places. So far as your readers in New Jersey are concerned, a note addressed to "Mr. Samuel C. Brown, Secretary of the Bureau of Statistics, Trenton, N.J.," will elicit all information about the bounty of that State for the production of the fibres. And for the information of the general reader, permit me in the interests of a very good cause, to add that a postal card or note to Mr. Charles Taylor, Englewood, N.J., will find prompt response as to the machine. EDITOR GAZETTE:—If Mr. Angell, the inventor of the machine for cleaning the fibre of the malva (or marsh mallow, as they call it in the East), will bring his machine into Los Angeles county he can find abundance of material to operate upon. It is one of our worst weeks, and grows from five to ten feet high. It grows all winter, and if on irrigated ground it will yield three or four crops in a year. The ground is full of the seed, and it is the first plant to start after rain or irrigation. But for this fact, farmers would have much trouble with it; as it is, all that is necessary is to turn it under with the plow when it gets two or three inches high and then sow—the trouble is at an end. But if it is desired to raise it as a crop, all that is necessary is to prepare the land before the rain, and the malva will occupy that field to the exclusion of everything else. My recollection of the marsh mallow of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is a short, stubby, low-growing plant with numerous branches; here it grows tall and straight, and when six to eight feet high is not an inch thick at the butt. The fibre is very strong, and if it is desired there is an unlimited quantity of it to be obtained. If it was cultivated, enough fibre could be obtained here to supply the United States, and provided that the machine can separate the fibre cheaply, there will be no limit to the quantity of malva to be operated upon, and the machine can be run all the year. The cost of production will be almost nothing; the only question to be settled is the cost of separating the fibre;—if the machine can do that cheaply, the raw material is here. Wm. R. Olden.

Some lots of new at hand begin to granulate and tend to sour, and several large lots did sour last year solely from this cause. It will pay better to let it stand longer in the comb. W.H. Hall has been re-appointed State Engineer by Governor Perkins. GAZETTE. NO. 31 Correspondence How the Country Looks. SAN JOSE, May, 1880. EDITOR GAZETTE:—One must be indeed bereft of all love for the beautiful who cannot add to the gallery in memory's hall fairest, loveliest, most lasting pictures from California, nature's most inexhaustible mines. Suppose a trip from Los Angeles northward. Look out around you: At your feet lie golden-green grain fields; then dark velvet-green orange trees, laden with their glowing, condensed sunshine; lovely, undulating, velvety hills—till the vision is barred by the grand, eternal, sentinel wall, rising in many a rugged furrow, dark with the storms of untold ages. Clarence King, in his "Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada," has told of the entrancing landscape—nowhere else to be seen in the whole known world—the green of the barley fields; the different green of the verdure clothing the foot-hills; the belt of evergreens; the purple of the far-off mountains; above, the fairy-like whiteness of the Californian Alps;—all forming a glorious succession of banded tints that cause the beholder to look and wonder that aught earthly can be so beautiful. And his description is surpassingly faithful. Apply his description to Northern Los Angeles county—to the San Gabriel Valley. There is a fairy vale surely, with not even the miniature snow-topped Alps lacking to complete the picture. Beyond Los Angeles the grain fields have greatly enlarged their borders since last year; then bare hills have a growth that has not been seen for years. Even over the horrid alkali desert near Visalia has pitying nature flung a cast-off-looking cloak of brush and grass, that almost hides the hideous unfortility. At Tipton there is the only artesian water The Tulare Tragedy. VISALZA, May 11. U. S. Marshal Poole and W. H. Clark, land grader, arrived at Hanford this morning to dispose the settlers and left Hanford at half past seven to serve process on William Braden and others. The Leaguers collected and followed the Marshal and overtook him three miles north of Grangeville and commanded him and the grader to render, which they did. Then they commanded Crow, a purchaser from the Railroad Company, and a companion named Hartt, to surrender. Instead of surrendering, they leaped from a spring wagon and fired with a shot gun and rifle, killing James Harris, Iver Krutson and John Henderson, and wounding Arch. McGregor. Wm. Braden, D. Kelley and Haymaker, all settlers. The settlers returned the fire, wounding Hartt fatally, and as Crow retreated to some distance a shot struck him, killing him instantly. There is great excitement at Hanford and vicinity, but the leaders of the League caution prudence. KINGSBURG, May 11. About 9:30 this morning, U. S. Marshal Poole, accompanied by W. H. Clark, was in the vicinity of Hanford for the purpose of serving writs on the settlers on railroad lands, who had refused to give up possession in those cases where suits had been against them by the United States Courts. Marshal Poole had put M. D. Hartt and Walter Crow in possession of one tract, and the four men were proceeding to another piece of land, when they saw about 40 mounted men riding towards them. The U. S. Marshal left his buggy and advanced to meet them. After a brief conversation with them they suddenly covered him with rifles and pistols and part of them rode rapidly towards the wagon in the rear in which Crow and Hartt were seated. One of the horses struck Marshal Poole, throwing him down. It is not known who commenced the firing. Three settlers, Kreuston, Henderson and Harris are reported killed, and one, McGregor, is supposed... Westminster Items. In the past few days our little place has roused from whatever winter inactivity may have possessed it. Farmers are beginning their haying, and seem full of business. With the burden of spring work, the revival services in the M. E. church have been attended by a goodly number. The workers have been earnest, and it is hoped the churches will continue the good work. Our townman, J. E. Preston, with his family goes to Santa Monica for health. He hopes to escape the "chilla," which threaten him. We are to suffer loss in the departure of Dr. A. J. Howe and family. May the good heath be so skillfully imparts follow them. During the absence of Mr. Preston, the Los Angeles express is in the hands of Mr. McPadden. Elder H. C. Lyle, of Santa Ana, will preach next Lord's day in the Congregational church. His subject: "Is the Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment binding on Christians of the present day?" The Southern California Association of Congregational churches will meet in the Westminster Congregational church, beginning Tuesday, May 18th. An ice-cream and strawberry festival will be given at the Hall, Westminster, on Tuesday evening, May 18th, by the Ladies' Social of the Presbyterian church. Everybody is cordially invited.

They say: The cause of the trouble is accounted for by the fact that farmers clean up the bottom of the stack too closely, and in rocky districts sometimes pull up the stubble and run it through the thresher. The presence of these substances in wheat so seriously impairs its value that in no case should any sack containing either stone or adobe be accepted as the fulfillment of a purchase contract, unless the wheat is specifically represented by the seller, in advance, to contain these substances. Farmers should be urged to separate such wheat from the clean wheat, as the expense of separating it after it is sacked is very great. We believe that the Exchange, by calling the attention of farmers to the evil, can greatly help them as sellers of the coming crop, and we recommend that some action be taken towards establishing the following rule: If any sacks in a lot of wheat shall be found to contain either adobe or gravel, the purchaser to have the option of rejecting the entire sale, or of assorting the wheats at the expense of the seller, keeping the clean and rejecting such as contain adobe or gravel. Company. The settlers still refused to vacate. In the meantime Hartt repeatedly, by letter, important President Stanford and the Directors of the Company to put him in possession. The Company finally decided that further delay or attempts at compromise would be productive of no good effect, and got out writes, which were given to United States Marshal Poole for service, with the result indicated in the dispatches received from the scene of action. The Railroad authorities claim that in all cases they have given the settlers the first chance to purchase, and only on their declining have given others an opportunity to buy. They further claim that the rates they have fixed on their lands are in almost every case materially lower than those demanded by the settlers for similar lands. It will be remembered that about a year ago Perry C. Phillips, one of the lessees of the railroad lands, put a tenant in possession of the tract leased to him. A band of masked and mounted men surrounded his house in the night, took out the tenant and his family, burned the house and would not afterwards allow Phillips to cultivate under his lease, because he had by that lease recognized the railroad title. The Company are in possession of no intelligence regarding today’s tragedy in addition to that already received. The Chicago Tribune receives $35,000 per column per year; the New York Herald and Sun each receive $39,723 a year for their cheapest column, and the price for preferred position is three times that; the New York Tribune receives, for its lowest column, $37,-794, and for its highest, $45,948; and these papers are never at a loss for advertisements to fill their columns. Their patronage comes not from any desire to assist the respective papers, but from business men who find it profitable to advertise. TUCKSON, A. T., May 12.—Water has been struck at Red Rock, between Preacher and Desert station, at a depth of 280 feet. The water is pure and free from alkali. The Trans-Continental Hotel at Colton was burned on Saturday night, involving a loss of about $14,000. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Postmaster-General Key has sustained the views of the California delegation, and will decline to interfere with the letter carrying business of Wells, Fargo & Co. The State Board of Equalization has completed the work of assessing the railroads of the State. The assessment includes the value of the franchise as well as road bed, rolling stock, etc. The total assessment is $31,174,140.
