We owe the immense fruit ranches and vineyards to Chinese labor, for they could not have been created without them, and they cannot bs handied profitably now™ that the Chinese ve u thing of the past. The /that we eannot get along without Chinese labor is ull humbug as applied to the state, but it is plain cnough that there are ranches calling tor such a concentration of labor as is impossible under our present conditions. J.eland Stanford has 3,000 e in vines at Vina. Lucky Buldwin has a vineyard of 1500 acres in the neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Natoma water com- pany has 2,000 acres in vines near Fol- som, und there ure plenty more that 1 could reeall, Now these men know nothing of wine making or of fruit growing, and have been abso- lutely dependent vpon their superin- tendents, und these men know that they cunnot get along without Chinese labor. There is an understanding among those men ond any doubt, and 1he; will do their hest to get the Chiness buck if they ean.
