The Sunset Irrigation District of Freuo has voted $2,000,000 of bonds for the construction of canals by which to lead water to lands on the west side. This is the largest irrigation scheme ever begun in the world under one single management. California has no other equal to it in magnitude and the scope of its purpose. Years must elapse before the full results can be reached. Even if water were turned upon the lands to-day it must be a long time before the innumerable vineyards and orchards would reach their full development. Not only is a new chapter in Freuo's history about to begin, but it is an event that must interest and influence all Californians to a certain extent. Our Exhibit at the Fair. The State Board of Trade has issued following circular, which will be four integers by our farmers and fruit growers. The crops, this year, of every grain, vegetable and fruit, promise abundant and of the highest excellence. is therefore, the year in which to secure preserve specimens for the Columbia position in 1893. Next year's crop may be so abundant nor the quality so fine that this year. Every farmer and fruit grower should select the best sample of his protions; sheafs of cereals, vegetables and fruits. The California State Board of Trade its exhibit by fire last winter, and all that has is such as was in "California Wheels." The board is anxious to have more comprehensive exhibit than before, wishes to extend its field of usefulness collecting specimens of every product of soil, samples of soil, descriptions of the top raphy of counties, meteorological maps, information as to variety and appearance of crops produced in each county, and the adaptability of soil and climate such productions and products of California manufacture. The mining interests will be neglected. It is intended to make board a "Bureau of Information" relatio to all divisions of industry. Daily inquires are made, not only by people in the East but by our own citizens respecting the sources of the counties, the cost and price of production of fruit, prices of land, climatic features of different sections of State, and the feasibility of establish manufactures. The board can be made one of the most useful institutions in the State if properly supported. The advantage of a county having a representation in the board and the floor is at once manifest. To that the board may effect its purpose earnestly requests contributions to its exhibition from the citizens of the State.

This is the largest irrigation scheme ever begun in the world under one single management. California has no other equal to it in magnitude and the scope of its purpose. Years must elapse before the full results can be reached. Even if water were turned upon the lands to-day it must be a long time before the innumerable vineyards and orchards would reach their full development. Not only is a new chapter in Fresno's history about to begin, but it is an event that must interest and influence all Californians to a certain extent. It is calculated that the canal will open up to cultivation 400,000 acres of land, which now is nearly valueless. Though it has little value now, it is naturally as fertile as any in the State. Its uselessness is due to its location. It is on the western side of the valley, where so little rain falls that agriculture cannot be carried on by natural means. This has been fatal to the settlement of that country. Men who lived there could not prosper by raising grain or by any other means except stock-raising, and that must be carried on over a large area in order to find pastureage. Thus it has been apparent for a long time that in order to develop that land it must have water. How to irrigate has been a long and difficult problem. There is not enough water coming down from the mountains of the Coast range to be of any value on an extensive scale. A few small streams carry a quantity of water during the rainy season, but early in the summer they run dry, and just when water for irrigation is most needed it cannot be had. It was long ago seen plainly enough that water must be obtained from this side, from streams that flow down from the never-failing sources of the Sierra. But before obtaining water from the Sierra an engineering problem must be met and mastered. The central part of the valley is lower than either side. The land on the west lies higher than the valley this side of it. In leading water across from the Sierra it must be taken over this low ground by some means. This has been the problem that is so difficult of solution. Had there been no obstacle of this nature in the way, there is no doubt that the whole of the western side of the valley would long ago have been watered by the bountiful floods from the Sierra. Engineers who have looked over the country have discovered means by which water may be led across the valley. Across the Deep, to the Far West. On steamboats, care and stage-coaches, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is carried as the most important item in the materia medica of the travelling public. It deprives vital, brackish water of its hurtful properties and exacerbates flavor, counteracts the perilous effects upon the stomach of bad or indigestible food, remedies cramps, heartburn and wind upon the stomach. It is a fine defense against malarial disorders, nullifies the effects of excessive heat, cold and dispain, relieves sickheadache, and is an incompatible remedy for constipation and bloody diarrhea. The fatigue of travel often tells most disastrously upon invalids and convulsions, occasionally to such an extent as to jeopardize life. Persons in feeble health, apprehensive of bad effects from travel, will, if provided with the Bitters, be far less likely to have their fears realized. American Vines. A dispatch from Paris of date June 11th says: The tariff debates in the Umbbers brought to the fore again the question of the phylloxera and American vines, which, it is again admitted, are an important agent for the restitution of vineyards.

It must not how small or apparently insignificant gift may be, it will be useful and thankful received. Send a sheaf of grain, a stalk corn, a mineral specimen, a sample of a box of fruit, fresh or dried, and any sample of vegetable growth that will illuminate the fertility of soil or skill in culture. For preserving fruit, use the fluid prepared according to the following formula, which according to the experience of the board at Prof. Hilgard, is the best generally: Boil the quantity of water to be used allow the sediment to settle; when pour it into a barrel or clean wooden receptacle, to be filled to about two-thirds its capacity. On top of the water fill a tin basin in which put a quantity of groun sulphur. Set the sulphur on fire and cool tightly until the fire goes out; renew the purlur until the whole is consumed, remove the cover for removal of air between doe At each firing stir the liquid. Use about a pound of sulphur for each twenty gallons water. To every gallon of water add ounces of glycerine to keep the fruit bursting. The jar must be hermetical sealed. Persons living along the line of Southern Pacific systems can leave packages with station agents marked "For State Board Trade," and they will be forwarded. E.W.MANLIN, Manager State Board of Trade. The Mother Colony. San Francisco Chronicle. One of the most notable instances of effect which irrigation has upon land valuation at the same time illustrating that markable results of intensive farming, practicable only through irrigation, is forced at Anaheim, which is justly called the parent of colony system in California. Writing of this settlement some eighteen years ago, the well-known traverse Charles Nordhoff gave a complete history of the project. In 1857 several residents of San Francisco of German descent proposed an effort to purchase a piece of land, it out into small farms, plant those w grape for wine, and do so all by one general head or manager and in the cheapest and best manner possible. After some discussion fifty men joined to buy a tract 1,165 acres of land on the then uncultivated and apparently dear plain southeast of Los Angeles. The price paid was $2 an acre, included with the land was a right to water for irrigation. It may be just held that much of this very land that originally coated but $2 an acre is now worth at least $200 and cannot be bought even for that, paying as it does a high rate of interest upon suvivalation. The members of the colony were working men of almost every occupation except farmers. There were blacksmiths and brewers and musicians and merchants but not a solitary farmer, in the company. No were in any sense well-to-do, none had more enough to purchase and improve ever a small tract, but they believed that by operation they could all better their condition to an extent impossible in San Francisco. The tract of 1,165 acres was divided into fifty twenty acre lots, while a village plot was laid out and divided into fifty lots besides a number of lots for school arsenal.

A dispatch from Paris of date June 11th says: The tariff debates in the Chambers brought to the fore again the question of the phylloxera and American vines, which, it is again admitted, are an important agent for the restitution of vineyards. The Associated Press correspondent having asked the opinion of aminent specialists concerning the condition of the vine-growing regions, received numerous replies, all of which confirm this statement. Pasteur says: "I have often heard our wine-growers praise American vines." Senator Meinadier says: "My department, Gard, was the first invaded by the phylloxera. We had 92,000 hectares of vineyards, of which only one-eighth escaped. To-day we have about 1,000 hectares treated by submersion, about 1,000 by insecticides, and nearly 30,000 planted with American vines." Dr. Monudier, Vicos-President of one of the Department Phylloxera Committees, says: "Since 1889 the territory in the department of Lower Charente covered with American vines has nearly doubled." In the department in which Marseilles is the capital the region is planted with American vines equally with that planted with French vines. The Professor of Agriculture at Clermont, Pay de Dome, writes: "French vines grafted on American vines are as good, if not better, than the ungrafted French species." The report from the famous Burgundy vinoyardia is most encouraging, and shows the day is rapidly approaching when that region will stand where it did before the phylloxera invasion. Similar reports are received from other great wine districts, and it is now the generally accepted opinion that within ten years the vintage of France will be greater than ever before, and not inferior in quality.

Higgins, druggist, Anaheim, Cal. but $2 an acre is now worth at least $2,000 and cannot be bought even for that, paying as it does a high rate of interest upon suvival. The members of the colony were working men of almost every occupation except farmers. There were blacksmiths and brewers and musicians and merchants, but not a solitary farmer, in the company. Nor were in any sense well-do; none had money enough to purchase and improve ever a small tract, but they believed that by operation they could all better their condition to an extent impossible in San Francisco. The tract of 1,165 acres was divided into fifty twenty acre lots, while a village plot was laid out and divided into fifty lots besides a number of lots for school and church purposes, etc. A competent manager was chosen and the members assessed theirselves at first for just sufficient to pay for the land, which at $2 an acre was no heavier tax. This manager engaged a force of Indian laborers, and as the first step construct an irrigation ditch some seven miles in length, taking water from the Santa Ana river in the mouth of the canyon near the point now known as Yorba. Besides the main canal there were laterals or distributing ditches covering the entire tract and agreeing 450 miles in length. On each twenty-acre lot eight acres were planted with vines, and fruit trees were planted on the balance. For three years the management continued to control the tracts. At the end of that time the trees and vines bearing faeces, and accordingly the colonists decided to take possession of their places. Each stockholder had at this time paid in $1,200 this sum representing the actual cost of each 20 acres. In dividing the property, however premiums were paid for choice lots, so that when the whole matter was settled it was found that each colonist had paid an average of $1,080 for his small farm. In summing up his account of the Anahiem colony, Nordoff states that "the property which cost $1,080 is now worth from $5,000 to $10,000." That was in 1874. At the present time there are few of the original tracts that can be bought for less than $1,000 an acre, and for many of them even the amount would be no temptation. Briefly with the aid of water the value of land has been advanced from 500 to 1,000 per cent and a veritable garden has been created from what was in fact a desert. A Grasshopper Plague. Professor Gustave Eisen, who was detained by Secretary Lolong of the State Board of Horticulture to examine into the grasshopper plague in the northern part of the State, has submitted to the Secretary the following report: Grasshoppers are breeding in large quantities in portions of Tehama county. Their breeding places are generally low, open places sometimes miles apart. In these breeding places they are now seen in very JUNE 18. 1891. NUMBER 32 Exhibit at the Fair.

Between these breeding centers hoppers are also seen, but in very much smaller quantities. Few hoppers have yet attained the winged stage, and by far the vast majority are now only half grown. The latter do the principal damage. So far no very great damage has been done in this city, and only the outskirts of some orchards and outside trees defoliated without chards. permanent injury. I visited the suffering area. Bluff, seven miles north and vicinity of Rea east and twenty mi. found the quantity on much less than in 1885. The five different species, one year, no striding being the most common. I cricket anywhere here. The orchardists are using several remedies. One consists of driving the grasshoppers by means of sacks, either tied to sticks or tied together in streamers. The hoppers are driven to dry grassy plots, which are afterwards fired. Some farmers scrape up the grasshoppers by means of buckets. The grasshoppers ascend the tops of the alfalfa early in the morning, or rather, roost there, and are caught in the same way as insects are caught with a net. They are then transferred to sacks. In this way one man caught thirty pounds of hopper in one hour and three men caught 500 pounds in three hours. The damage to this alfalfa field was considerable. A very successful contrivance I saw used consisted of a long trough made of sheet iron, 5 feet long, two feet wide, back 2 feet high, front 3 inches. This is first filled with coal tar or with a mixture of coal oil and water, and is then dragged between the rows by two boys by means of two ropes twelve feet long. The hoppers fly up and striking the high back fall in the coal tar mixture. In Capay valley, in Yolo county, I found grasshoppers, indeed they were here rather scarce; but on the plains at the entrance to this valley the hoppers were very numerous and some little damage was done. Some vineyardists here used the arsenic and brine remedy. Around Sisson and further north the principal damage to crops is done thing was in position and a fire built the dinner-bell sounded, and Mr. Menke ordered the crew to dinner. The fire was banked, and after a hurried dinner all the hands started back for the engine. Mr. Menke and his son William were in a buggy and took the lead. When within a short distance of the pumping works they stopped to water their horse. This undoubtedly saved their lives. They were speaking of the boiler and had their gaze directed that way when, without a moment's notice, it exploded. A portion of the boiler cut off a tree more than a foot in diameter as smoothly as it could have been done with a saw, and another flying missile separated the same tree higher up. The main portion of the boiler, weighing several tons, was hurled a distance of two blocks. A large box of tools many timbers were blown into the river, irrigation troughs were wrecked for and later after the men had some distressed about the boiler there would two minutes congregated about certainly have been. Weak Knees Bridge: Ministers declare that in nine cases ten brides are much more self-possessed than are bridegroves when the marriage ceremony is being performed. A shy, modest-looking little creature robed in white will stand perfectly erect, looking the minister calmly and squarely in the eye without for an instant losing her self-poise, while the big, blunt six-footer of a bride-groom by her side is pale and nervous and trembling. His hugers are likely to twitch nervously, and he may even hitch at his trouser legs or twist a corner of his coat skirt. I was once "best man" to a stalwart, middle-aged bridegroom, noted for his courage and teats of daring, and when the time came for us to go down stairs to meet the bride and her attendants he nearly had a fit, and he looked like a walking corpse all through the ceremony. I had to keep saying, "Brace up, old boy," and "Come, come you're got to go down," to get him started, and at the door he was idiotic enough to clutch at me and say: On the top of the water float which put a quantity of ground at the sulphur on fire and cover the fire goes out; renewal of air between doses attains the liquid.

every occupation except those blacksmiths and musicians and merchants, but farmer, in the company. None use well-to-do, none had money in purchase and improve ever so but they believed that by could all better their condition impossible in San Francisco of 1,165 acres was divided into acre lots, while a village out and divided into fifty lots, number of lots for school and etc. A competent manager and the members assessed them for just sufficient to pay for with $2 an acre was no heavy manager engaged a force of Industry as the first step constructed ditch some seven miles in water from the Santa Ana south of the canyon, near the own as Yorba. Besides the trees and vines bearing fair distinctly the colonists decided session of their places. Each had at this time paid in $1,200, seeking the actual cost of each dividing the property, however, he paid for choice lots, so that the matter was settled it was a colonist had paid an average of small farm. up his account of the Anaquilloff states that "the propest $1,080 is now worth from $900. That was in 1874. At there are few of the original be bought for less than $1,000 or many of them even that be no temptation. Briefly, water the value of land has from 500 to 1,000 per cent, the garden has been created in fact a desert. Heavy Damages Against the Southern Pacific. A jury at Bakersfield last week awarded Mrs. Morgan $35,000 damages in suits against the Southern Pacific. As the southbound train drew into Delano on October 16, 1889, it ran past the usual stopping place. Seeing this, the engineer quickly reversed and the train ran back to the platform. In the mean time, however, Mrs. Morgan had started to leave the car, and had reached the steps when the train started back. The sudden motion threw her to the ground, from which she sustained an injury to the shoulder which she claims to be permanent. The suit was for $50,000 and she received a verdict for $15,000. At the time of the accident she held a child 2 years of age in her arms, and in falling fell on it, injuring it so seriously that a week later it died. A second suit for $50,000 resulted in a verdict for $20,000. Both cases will be appealed. Heeler Explosion. A terrific boiler explosion on A. Menke's ranch, near Sacramento last Monday, came near resulting in an appalling loss of life. A pump had been placed in position beside the American river with which to raise water to irrigate the hop-fields, and an engine and threshing machine boiler of the largest size were to furnish the power. Just as every- The next thing for her to learn is that, no matter how fond she may be of her husband, she should reserve all manifestations of this kind for their own apartment, and that holding his hand, kissing him before people, or putting her head on his shoulder, really and truly become indecent when done in public. A man can show a woman every attention possible, and a woman can make him understand her love for him without their laying themselves open to be made a jast and a byword for their traveling companions. The next thing for her to learn is to like to eat what her husband likes. She may have some decided tastes, but if she is a wise woman she will leave the ordering of dinner to him, and he being a gentleman, will find out some of her particular likes. The next thing for her to learn is to address her husband as "Mr. Brown" before people; she can call him "Darling Harry" when they are quite alone, and only then. The next thing for her to learn is not to giggle or look surprised when she gets a letter from her mother addressed to her in her married name. Men are particularly sensitive creatures about some things, and they are rather given to think a woman don't want a name when she acts in this way. The next thing for her to learn, and the most important of all, is that her bridal trip is only the preface of her married life, and that in it, while she may read some suggestions, she has only the book open to her when she gets home after the honeymoon. The Fruit Crop. From reports concerning the condition of deciduous fruit crops in all parts of Southern California this month the Pomona Progress finds the apricots, which will be ready for the canneries and dryers within thirty days, will be about 20 per cent more than the average yield. There is a heavy crop in Pomona valley. Peaches will be about the average crop, but less than that of last year. In Orange and San Diego counties peaches will give a small yield, and the same is true of parts of Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Of prunes there will be the smallest yield since 1883. In many orchards there will be less than half the average yield, and some think it will be less than one-fourth of the average. In some localities where the profits were $500 an acre last year there will be less than $50 worth of prunes on an acre this season. No prune-grower seems to be very blue. Every one believes that last year's extraordinary crop caused the small crop this year, and all look to another immense yield in 1892.
