BREWERY Beer Review of the Conditions that Have Prevailed During an Unfavorable Year. The State Board of Agriculture has made its annual report to Gov. Gage, covering operations during the year 1898, a season of protracted drought. We have been favored with a copy of the report, from which we take the following extracts, which will be perused with interest by our readers: FRUIT GROWING. Early frosts, lack of rainfall and a most unfavorable season as a whole has not given to the California fruit grower in general the results anticipated for the season, although the few that escaped disaster profited by the shortness of the yield; and the carload shipments of fresh deciduous fruits reached within about 9 per cent of the previous season. This showing is caused by the fact that the fruit-shipping firms were liberal buyers f. o. b., a condition that was forced by reason of competition of canners in the purchase of fruit necessary to fill orders placed early in the season. This fact caused an active market, and the shipments were increased over what they would had consignments been wholly relied upon. Prime peaches were sold f.o.b. from $30 to $50 per ton in carload lots, with a brisk trade for them. The carrier who sold early at fixed prices was as eager to purchase as the shipper, and the grower who had the fruit benefited accordingly. But of the grower who did not escape the elements nothing is said, and it is well known that the largest fruit producing sections were the shortest on fruit; hence, it is not well to hold up the few that profited this year as a criterion of our fruit interests. Had we a full crop, it is safe to predict that the result would have been different. We are over-producing in fruit, and it will soon be the "survival of the fittest," after which attention will be turned to other more profitable investments, as there are ample opportunities to do so. The whole fault withCALIFORNIA·INDUSTRIES This work has been referred to the Department of Agriculture. which has already made special efforts to secure the aid of scientific training and practical knowledge in the uses of water for irrigating purposes. With a view of properly forming plans for this great work, a convention of irrigating engineers and officers of experiment stations was held last summer in Denver, Col., to discuss the problems of irrigation. As a result of this conference the Department of Agriculture has outlined its work on two general lines (1) the collation and publication of information regarding laws and institutions of the irrigated region in their relation to agriculture, and (2) the publication of available information regarding the uses of irrigation waters in agriculture, as determined by actual experience of farmers and experimental investigations in this line by experiment stations. Bulletins will be prepared by competent experts and distributed, thereby giving in detail information for the systematic uses of water for irrigating growing crops. The Secretary of Agriculture aptly says: "It is clear that a crisis has been reached in the life of the community in which agriculture is dependent upon irrigation for its success. The laws and institutions relating to irrigation which have grown up in these communities, have in many ways proved so inadequate and unsatisfactory that there is a widespread feeling that radical and immediate action is demanded for their reformation. One fundamental investigation which should be immediately undertaken relates to the correct determination of the practice of successful farmers in the use of water for irrigation with different sails and crops." It should be plain to every soil producer of California with the experiences of the season just closed, that a general system of irrigation is wanted, and which would be of incalculable value to our agricultural resources, thereby insuring an annual output, and reducing to a minimum the chances of crop failures that appear periodically through lack of moisture. The idea is, to our mind, most practicable, and should be pushed to complete assistance by the systematic use of water.

Mr. Croker asked me to write Mr. Bryan and find out whether he would be willing to speak in New York; refrain from discussing the most question. I wrote Mr. Bryan according to his belief no illusion or cerning Mr. Bryan's position. As Croker has now definitely antagonized the Democrats who hold to the Chicago platform, it is the belief of my friends Mr. Bryan that this letter which he declares that New York Democrats should show their hand against the hostility of the members in the party in South and West, shall be made public." This is the letter of Mr. Bryan, dated March 15, 1898: MY DEAR MR. ABBOT: I am just receipt of your letter. Please say Mr. Croker that I shall not be able come East until about April 13. At that time I shall be pleased meet him and talk over the political situation. If, as I have heard, he compelled to leave for Europe because time, express my regrets to him. I appreciate his invitation to see there, but he will, upon reflection,ize that I could not afford to make speech upon the lines suggested.national platform declares me question to be the paramount issue.I fully indorse that declaration.So lieving, I could not directly or indirectly encourage any State to abandon national platform. While the Democrats of the West and South have right to force the national plant upon the people of New York,yet Democracy of the nation does her right to expect the Democrats of York to stand by the platform on nounce their hostility. We ought know whether the New York De-racy means peace or war. To ignore the national platform,the State Convention will be notice,the Democrats of New York are tilted to that platform,but lack ther age to declare it openly. The platform of 96 will be reaffirmed in 1900,and I,for one,would like The Weekly Gazette, established 1870.

SANTA ANA, CAL The California fruit growers' and shippers' association has been serviceable in keeping the shippers and growers informed as to daily shipments throughout the season, and their report shows total shipment of all kinds of fruit to eastern points to be 4824 carloads, as against 5294 in 1897. The value of this output is estimated to be $4,341,600. We publish in detail the distribution of these cars. The prospects at this writing are most favorable for an increased output of citrus fruits. It is estimated that the yield will exceed 12,000 carloads, as against 15,000 for last season. To more fully and intelligently show the reason for increased fresh fruit shipments, we have to present the figures on the cured pack as estimated for 1898 (exact figures not yet obtainable) as compared with the full crop of 1897, shown in the following table: | Table | Date | Amount | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Prunes, pounds | 1898 | 97,780,000 | | Peaches, pounds | 27,150,000 | 75,000,000 | | Pears, pounds | 6,350,000 | 500,000 | | Apricots, pounds | 30,125,000 | 500,000 | | Apples, pounds | 5,230,000 | 1,000,000 | | Figs, pounds | 3,250,000 | 2,000,000 | | Plums, pounds | 3,250,000 | 2,000,000 | | Nectarines, lbs. | 285,000 | 7,000 | Total... 173,420,000 86,007,000 The output of the canned pack for 1898, which includes vegetables, amounts to 2,426,000 cases, at a valuation of $5,000,000, as compared with 2-351,515 cases, at a valuation of $7,054,-545 in 1897. THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. The beet sugar industry bids fair to be the great industry of our State, and one which will make California universally prosperous. Today we find in California eight large sugar factories located at or in the vicinity of the following named cities or towns: viz. Salinas, Watsonville, Chino, Huenene, Alamitos, Alverado, Crockett and the Union Sugar company at Santa Maria. During the past season (1898) these eight factories would have contracted for nearly 100,000 acres of beets, but owing to the extreme drought three of the new factories did not attempt to run, finding it impossible to obtain a supply of raw material. The balance of the factories could secure but a scanty supply, and were operated far below their stipulated capacity. If the season of 1899 is favorable to the industry over 100,000 acres of California's most fertile land will be devoted to the raising of the sugar beet. Land adapted to sugar beet growing will average fourteen to fifteen tons to the acre, from which the farmer will realize about $60. The cost varies with varying conditions and location, but will in general range from $30 to $40 per acre. The farmer will thus set net $20 to $30 per acre on his season's crop. Trade in American farm products is rapidly increasing in the China seas which promises an extensive market for California products. In dairying, probably more than in any other agricultural calling, science has greatly assisted the American producer in the preparation of his output for market, and with proper packing for export insures a permanent market for the product of the dairy in the Pacific Ocean trade. The Department of Agriculture at this time have agents in Japan, China and other countries of the Pacific Ocean establishing agencies to which the department will make trial shipments with a view of ascertaining all the facts for the benefit of the dairymen. The lands of California available for dairy purposes are not only extensive but well adapted to the production of excellent green forage for the maintenance of stock, and with the aid of the surplus mill stuffs from grain now exported, offers most flattering inducements for investment in the dairy business. The State Agricultural Society has been a most consistent supporter of this interest, and has for several years past provided for practical exhibitions of all kinds of improved dairy machinery for the purpose of showing the farming community what science is doing in the way of increasing the yield of the dairy, and coupled with the test of dairy cows made at the annual fair, makes an interesting as well as an instructive display. The object lessons forth by our miniature creamery I believe that the restoration metallism is necessary and that is the only ratio at which bimetal can be restored, and I have no right expect favors from those who are title to this doctrine. I can say my metallism at 16 to 1 as Ruth Snaomi: "Entreat me not to leave or return from following after for whither thou goest I will give where thou lodgest I will lodge people shall be my people, and thy my God. Where thou diest will do so to me, and more also; if august part tree and me." No one is compelled to accept judgment, but I must myself be by it and in my judgment he may to chain the nation to a gold stair so cruelly wicked that I would neath contempt if I should trace conviction upon this subject for a political advantage which the New Democrats might be willing to let me add another word: It only right that the New York Convention should stand by their go platform; but it is good politic metallism will be as strong in York when it is fully understood now in the West and South; sooner the Democracy of New York gins the defense of the Chicago form the sooner will work on completion. To ignore it form when all the States will south indorse it will have all its parts of a declaration against the party and such a course will make difficult to indorse the platform after. We were embarrassed in campaign by the fact that creats of your State went to Chicago oppose the platform which was Unless the party in New York to repeat this experiment in should lose no time in taking stand upon the Chicago platform urging this course upon Tammany the Democracy of New York I suggest that the party in New York has something at stake as well in tainting them. Democratic principles have a hold upon the plain people success by abandoning them. Democracy was defined at and the definition is so said that no material change will in that definition for years to hope the New York Democracy their own good as well as for will do it, SURE!

The above is figured on a basis of $4 per ton, which was the fixed price for the season of 1898.

The Agricultural Department will undertake the Solution of Problems of Far-Reaching Importance to Every Farmer and Wage Earner in the United States. The recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture in his last annual report that an appropriation of $50,000 should be made for an investigation into the complex problems of irrigation which confront so many thousands of farmers has attracted a much wider attention to the subject of irrigation than it has ever received in the past as an agricultural problem. In his report the Secretary of Agriculture says: "It is clear that a crisis has been reached in the life of the communities in which agriculture is dependent upon irrigation for its success. The laws and institutions relating to irrigation, which have grown up in these communities, have in many ways proved so inadequate and unsatisfactory that there is a widespread feeling that radical and immediate action is demanded for their reformation. Unfortunately, the accurate information on which alone intelligent reforms can be based is almost wholly lacking. As the problems which confront these communities are, in a general way, the same, and in many particulars affect the national as well as local interests, it is highly appropriate that the National Government should undertake investigations to aid in the solution of the problems of irrigation. As many of these problems are directly connected with those in other agricultural lines in which this Department and the experiment stations are working, it is my judgment that this Department should be put in a position to efficiently organize and conduct important investigations in this line." "I recommend that an appropriation of $50,000 for irrigation investigations be asked for in the estimates for the ensuing fiscal year." THE ALKALI PROBLEM. MAKES IT A FELONY. Provisions of Dibble's Senatorial Expenditure Bill. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 7.—The provisions of Dibble's bill, relating to the expenditure of money by candidates for United States Senator, which has been favorably reported, are as follows: Every person intending to become a candidate for United States Senator at an approaching session of the Legislature, and every person acting for or on behalf of any such person intending to become a candidate for senator, who shall advance or give or loan any money or property to any candidate for the Legislature, before or after his nomination, by an express or implied promise that such a candidate for the Legislature (whether nominated or not, or before or after his election), will support or vote for such person intending to become a candidate for Senator, shall be deemed guilty of a felony. A second section of the bill provides that every person being a member-elect of the Legislature, and every person being a candidate for nomination for the Legislature, who shall accept any money or property from any person intending to become a candidate for Senator in the Congress of the United States before the Legislature at an approaching session thereof, or from any other person acting on behalf of any such person intending to become a candidate for Senator in the Congress of the United States at an approaching session of the Legislature, by an express or implied promise that such candidate for nomination for the Legislature, will, if elected as a member of the Legislature, support or vote for any such person intending to become a candidate for Senator in the Congress of the United States for that office, shall be deemed guilty of a felony." I could not directly extract the text from the image due to its low resolution and poor quality. However, I can transcribe it as accurately as possible. The Democrat of the West and South have no right to force the national platform in State Convention will be notice that Democrats of New York are hostile to that platform, but lack the courage to declare it openly. The platform of 86 will be reaffirmed 100, and I, for one, would like to do so soon as possible whether we regard the New York Democrats or enemies. If the Democrats of New York invite me to speak in New York city while in the East, I shall accuse them of inviting with pleasure, but must be with the understanding that all will not be restricted as to subjects passed. I do not care to be a guest of the Chicago platform is denied a thing. Believe that the restoration of bimetallism is necessary and that 16 to 17 are only ratio at which bimetallism be restored, and I have no right to set favors from those who are hostile to this doctrine. I can say to bimetallism at 16 to 17 as Ruth said to him: "Entreat me not to leave the return from following after thee; whither thou goest I will go; and there thon lodgest I will lodge; thyople shall be my people, and thy God. Where thou diest will I die, there will I be buried; the Lord do to me, and more also, if aught but with part thee and me." No one is compelled to accept my argument, but I must myself be guided and in my judgment the attempt to chain the nation to a gold standard is cruelly wicked that I would be behold contempt if I should trade my conviction upon this subject for any public advantage which the New York democrats might be willing to offer. Let me add another word: it is not right that the New York State convention should stand by the Chicaplatform, but it is good politics. Bimetallism will be as strong in New York when it is fully understood as it is now in the West and South, and the owner the Democracy of New York be the defense of the Chicago platform the sooner will the work of education be completed. To ignore the platform when all the States west and south indorse it will have all the force and declaration against the platform, and such a course will make it more difficult to indorse the platform here. We were embarrassed in the last campaign by the fact that the Democrats of your State went to Chicago to expose the platform which was adopted. Unless the party in New York expects repeat this experiment in 1900, it would lose no time in taking a firm and upon the Chicago platform. In urging this course upon Tamany and Democracy of New York I ought suggest that the party in New York has something at stake as well as the party in the nation. Tamany needs the Democracy of the nation as much as the national party needs Tamany, and Tamany should recognize this fact. Democratic principles have too firm hold upon the plain people to give the party in any section any promise of success by abandoning them. Democracy was defined at Chicago, and the definition is so satisfactory that no material change will be made that definition for years to come. I hope the New York Democrats—for their own good as well as for the good cause of the national platform in State Convention will be notice that Democrats of New York are hostile to that platform, but lack the courage to declare it openly. The platform of 86 will be reaffirmed 100, and I, for one, would like to do so soon as possible whether we regard the New York Democrats or enemies.

In a recent interview Mr. Maxwell said: "One great difficulty that has always been met with in getting the attention of Congress to this great subject of irrigation is the mistaken impression which has prevailed with so many in the past that irrigation is of interest only to the West. On the contrary it is of the most vital and far reaching importance to every farmer in the east." The experiments which have been carried on by Prof. King of the University of Wisconsin, and by Prof. Voorhees, director of the agricultural experiment stations of New Jersey, and by Dr. Clarke Gapen, now of Madison, Wisconsin, when he was superintendent of the Illinois hospital for the insane at Kankakee, Illinois, have demonstrated what phenomenal results may be obtained by what Dr. Gapen calls "Supplemental Irrigation in Humid America," this is, by giving the cultivator of the soil control of the greatest fertilizer known, which his water properly applied in proper quantities and at proper stages of the growth of the plant. IRRIGATION INVESTIGATION. Mr. Maxwell is working earnestly to get through the appropriation by the present session of Congress which was recommended by the Secretary of Agriculture for irrigation investigation. He says that the importance of this appropriation to California and the whole West cannot be measured. That it would enable the Department of Agriculture to carry on systematically a thorough investigation into all the complex problems in the methods of distribution and utilization of water supplies and in the application of water for irrigation which confront the owner of every irrigated farm, and have brought disaster and ruin to so many, and would result in the speedy solution of many of these problems. Mr. Maxwell also urges everyone who is interested in irrigation in the West to send to the Secretary of Agriculture for copies of the pamphlet on Alkall Soils and the Effect of Irrigation on them, referred to above, and also for another irrigation bulletin soon to be issued by the Agricultural Department, prepared by Elwood Mead, State Engineer of Wyoming, and the best authority in the West on all the engineering and legal problems of irrigation. Mr. Maxwell says the only way to satisfy the government, and especially Eastern Congressmen, of the importance of this great subject of irrigation is for people of the West themselves to take an active interest in it and to send for copies of these government publications as they are issued. Every commercial and industrial new trial upon appeal, pleaded guilty to the crime as charged in the indictment. About two and a half years ago, Manuel Fellows killed a saloon keeper named Garcia at Capistrano, and in due course was tried, convicted and sent to San Quentin. Upon one ground or another, stays were issued until within the month an appeal was granted and a new trial ordered. For the reason, it was stated, that new and important evidence favorable to the prisoner had been found. Friday morning, however, Fellows, when arraigned to plead, pleaded guilty to murder. He was remanded for sentence until tomorrow, when evidence tending to enable the court to fix the degree of the crime will be taken. Want Annexation. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—A dispatch to the World from Havana says that a committee of Spaniards has issued a strong appeal to their compatriots throughout the island to unite for the purpose of bringing about the annexation of Cuba to the United States. The appeal repudiates indignantly any desire on the part of the Spaniards in the island to join the proposed new independent party now in process of organization by Joaquin Castillo. It states that 600,000 Spaniards are ready to vote for annexation, and this number would be largely augmented by Cubans of wealth, position and influence, who do not wish to see the revolutionary party in the ascendency. The committee believes that if a vote were to be taken today on the broad issue, the result would be decidedly in favor of union with America, even if the negro element in Eastern Cuba was allowed to exercise a free franchise. Steps will be taken by the Spaniards to put their views before the American administration, as they believe if an independent government is contemplated in the near future, the trade of the island will be brought to an immediate standstill. In any case they think the United States should retain control for a considerable period. American capitalists interested in the island concur in this view.
