CALIFORNIA SCENERY, CLIMATE AND
PRODUCTS.
Arriving in Sacramento, January 15,
that day was devoted to sight seeing.
wbicn was truly a dellgbc, as we were
not prepared to find sueb a semi tropic
scene in Northern California. Oranges
are raised in this section, and mature a
month earlier than In the southern part;
cause said to be warmer night? liere.
i'omological societies' meetings were
held in tbe Sacramento chamber of com
merce, January 16, 17, and 18 and were
very interesting and were attended by
all our party, which included tbe presi
dent, B. J. Berkmans of Agusta, Georgia,
B. G. bmitb, treasurer, ot Cambridge,
Mass.. Secretary Bracket of Iowa, and
Vice President Bracket of Iowa. Cali
fornia his a fashion of showing up her
products in a pleasing style. .Every city
has her chamber of commerce, to which
all visitors are escorted. Here you will
fine tastefully arranged samples of the i
country's products. These displays are
very interesting and Instructive, es
pecially to tbe tender foot. One is con
vinced that only the richest soil can pro
duce pears weighing three pounds,
peaches three pounds, grapes two
pounds to the bunch, fruit tree making
twice tbe growth ever seen in the east in
one year. Tbe largest vegetables you
ever saw.
Our meetings were attended by large
numbers of tbe prominent fruit growers
of the country and state, who as a class
we found very well satisfied with
their calling. Of croakers and
growlers we saw none, if any
such there are in California, they prob
ably are not called upon as a reception
committee on such occasions. Although
one could not subsist alone on climate
and scenery, yet they are delightful in
California in the winier. Our party were
given a reception In the capitol, by the
governor and state officers, and were also
given one In the . B. Crocker art gal
lery. This is an Institution of which
Sacramento has reason to be proud. It
was presented to tbe city by the widow
of E. B. Crocker. Situated on O street,
between Second and Third, upon terraces
that are ever green, it is surrounded by
tall palms and the rare flowers that give
to California its greatest charm. The
floors are of tile; woodwork is of carved
walnut, and California maple; gallery
contains over 700 pictures, offers a vari
ety so wide that all tastes are appealed
to. The long line of portraits of early
Calif ornians are very interesting. Min
ing cam pa. i Yosrulte, General John A.
Gutter, etc. Tlife-eception was given by
the ladies of Sacrumfinto, were entertain
ed 1th beautiful musit and stereoptic
views of the Vosemite and other Califor
nia scenery, at the conclusion of wbicb
America was thrown on the canvass,
which the whole company joined in sing.
Ing, visitors from the East, North -and'
South joining with those of tbe Fatitic
coast In singing this grand old national
song. It was an inspiration indeed. -;
The Golden Eagle hotel, which was
our headquarters here, is also headquar
ters lor the members or tne legislature.
The senatorial fight was on, which made
lively times. Our first trip was west of
Sacramento, the fruit and mining regions,
up the American river. , This is where
tbe first scenes in tbe early mining days
of '49 were enacted. The Placerville and
American river regions were also the
most productive of any in this section.
The whole country to-day presents evi
dence of an exhaustive search for tbe
shining metal. Mining is still being car
ried on here, which we saw In operation.
Is said to be profitable still, labor being
performed by Chinese. At Placerville
extensive mining operations are going
pn. The OrangevilJe Fruit and Mining
Co. have large tracts of fruit lands here
north of the American Biver. Thous
ands of acres are set to citrus and decid
uous fruits. This company's fruit land
Is beautifully located on an elevated
rolling plateau. Our drives through it
gave us the first grand view oi uanior
nia fruit culture. Oranges ripen a month
earlier here than in tbe south, on our
morning trip here we visited the Natona
Winery, which is the second largest in
tbe state, containing 700,000 gallons. The
whole countv for a long distance is occu
pied with the vine, which is set in rows
as straight as an arrow, as lar as one can
Bee. Vines are kept trimmed with two
eyes to the stump, so all one sees is tbe
stump standing two or three feet high,
which grow to one foot, or more in diam
eter. Most of the work in California is
done by Chinese. After trimming vines
are loaded onto iron wagons and burnt
tbereon as they go along through the
vineyards. Along the American west of
Sacramento and the Sacramento south of
the city all the deciduous except the ap
pie and all the citrus and semi tropical
fruits are grown to perfection.: We met
many enthusiastic growers of them. The
month earlier ripening cf the fruits gives
growers a deciden advantageover South
ern California. South of Sacramento for
40 miles in tbe rich bottom lands of Sac
ramento river, on either side as far as one
can see, is practically one vast orchard,
with a river frontage nearly the whole
distance. These are mostly deciduous
fruits. Tbe oldest orchards in the state
are mostly in hands of original owners,
or their heirs, and are not for sale. I
think, all things considered, the Oran
geralo Co. are offering the bist induce
ments to eettlers, hold tbeir citrus fruit
land two years set at $200 per acre as a
rule and in best locations appreciates in
value each year after planting to oranges
or lemons $ 100 per acre. Trees of all
kinds grow very rapidly. The wealth of
the soil is immense, some claim practi
cally inexhaustable with irrigation, as
that furnishes plant food. Soil varies
from two or three to eight and 12 feet
deep, usually six to 10 feet. Trees grow
rapidly, bear immensely. Oranges are
usually set 20 feet, making over 100 trees
to the acre. Some begin to fruit at three
years. Saw mny a three year old grove
with considerable fruit, at five years best
groves yield two boxes, six and seven
year groves are selling at 400 to $600
per acre on the trees. Most of the fruits
are sold on tbe trees, 10 and 12 year old
groves were selling at $ 1000 per acre.
Ijand upon which they are grown is all
irrigated once a month through the grow
ing season, and is usually valued accord
ing to the age of the trees from setting,
sav two years set $200 or $300, five to
eight years Pet $000 to $800 and from
that up to large figures for groves of 10
or more years setting. One can only ac
count for the great yield of all of Cali
fornia products through tbe great adapt
ability of soil and climate to their quick
est and best development. The yield of
oranges and lemons is immense. Trees
usually producing about as many boxes
ae the number of years they have been
set, after the first six or eight years,
lemons continue to bloom and ripen
during the whole year. All of Califor
nia farming is intense. Not all of her
fruit lands require irrigation, especially
the deciduous fruits. For instance those
in the American and Sacramento river
districts. Such lands are held at much
more reasonable prices, as irrigation
plants are very expensive and usually
add nearly $100 per acre to the cost of
tbe land. Sale of such carries with it a
perpetual right to necessary water, which
is expressed in inches. One can readily
see that a fruit grower on irrigated land
has about as sure thing for a crop as it is
possible, not being dependant upon rain
fall. There are irrigation dams in Cali
fornia which are said to hold a two years'
supply of water, which in all human
probability will never be called for, as
the Sierras, with their large deposits of
winter snows furnish an abundance. I
visited several of the largest irrigation
plants, of which I may meDtion later. In
some localities . tbe orange and lemon
rank first as the most profitable crop,
all things considered, in others tbe vine,
and in many the deciduous fruits. The
EDglish walnut grows to a large size, is
set about 40 feet apart but is a heavy
vielder, producing in several cases noted
as much as $20 per tree. This, the al
mond, prune, he, peach, cherry, apricot,
etc., are extensively cultivated in Ameri
can and Sacramento river districts, as
also are grapes. Tbere are fewer croak
ers in California than any place I have
seen. Many ladies are running ranches
successfully and while very few could
succeed at larm'ng nere, tne peculiar
conditions existing make it possible
there. The planting is a very simple
processes also cultivation. The irrigation
is also a simple matter. Nearly all fruit
products are sold to responsible fruit
companies and as the Chinese make the
best of help, good help is much more eas
ily obtained there than East. Tbe state's
population is nearly one quarter Chinese.
They are a quiet, law abiding people,
good laborers, but make no improve
ments anywhere and send all tbeir money
home to China, so they, while being good
workmen, are impoverishing the coun
try. Many objectj to them on that ac
count. About one third of San Francis
co's population Is Chinese. - They have
bad an unusually wet season this winter,
raining considerable for several days af
ter we arrived, but we had fine weather
after that, much of the low lands along
the river being submerged. As we pro
ceeded we found towns and villages flood
ed. A large part of the country for miles
below Sacramento was under water.
