Professor E. J. Wickson of the Un versity of California has treated t subject of “Horticuiture in California. He begins by calling attention to the fact that fruit growing and the manu- facture of fruit nroducts constitute the leading industry of California. Dealing!) with fruits in detail very valuable in- | formation is afforded. About the ap-| ple Profes: Wickson says in part: | California has about of w one-fifth are not_ yet in bearing. The | ccess attained In growing a winter apple | to the trade and capable stes this fruit o lar at the pre carloads are atc lines. and a considerable the London market, selling prices. There are two distinct e industry of California. | cariy varieties like the Gravenstein for sale in the ris of Pacific Coast and ‘in | the interior m tates before the earliest | appies can be ripened in those parts. The lo- calities where these early varieties are chiefly grown for such shipment are in the Sacramento YValley and the foothilis surrounding it. The forcing heat of the spring and early summer bring these varleties guickly to notable size, crispness and flavor. This heat, however, con tinued into the summer and autumn, makes the same districts quite ill-suited for the growth of winter apples, which are prematurely ripened and lack quality and keeping power. The second, branch of the California apple industry, then, the production of winter ap- ples, is undertaken In parts of the State quite Qifterent in climate from that of the early ap. ple regions. The requirements of a winter ap- ple are fully met by two main divisions of the State, viz.: The smaller vaileys close to the coast—in fact, in some cares, the coast fiats, where the exposure is directly toward the cooling breezes of the ocean, which pro- duce a cool summer—a long, slow-growing | seagon, which ?evzl?pu the Sreatest beauty and highest quality in a winter appl SImI-J lar rv‘l‘u ts are also produced by the climate found at an elevation of from 2500 to 5000 feet on the interior plateaus and in the moun- tain valleys. The coast district has developed a greater commercial apple industry than the mountaina, becstise transportation {actlitief for shipment are vastly better; but as the State advances the mountain districts will be em. pioyed in this production much more largely than at present. The greatest apple district of the State is the Pajaro Valley, including parts of Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, centering at Watsonville, which shipved about | epple trees, | | | | in greater beauty and volume | nor 4 a thousand feet above it n the foothills and goes lower on the plains int> the frested areas with danger.

FORESTS OF CALIFORNIA. W. H. Mills has a very valuable essay onh the forests of California in which hesays: A coneérvative approximation of the quan- tity of merchantable lumber standing in the forests of Calitornia reaches the vast total of four hundred and forty billion feet. Since the forests of Caliiornia are found in the moun- tainous districts of the State, the topography of the floors of these forests possess dnterest. Tepography Is the controlling factor in the economic_production of lumber from California forests. Thege forested lands are divided into hydrographic districts. In the commercial aspect of the subject the catchment area of a system makes all the forests grown upon it tributary to the canyon line which consti- tutes the central drainage of that hydrographic area. In the parlance of the lumbermen, the lends in a single drainage area cad usually be “‘worked together”; which means that the instrumentalities of bringing the logs to the mill and the lumber to trunk lines can be brought downward to the age, and the construction and maintenance of these Instrumentalitics s very coetly. The profit of lumbering is, therefore, largely de- es the peach in ii embi pendent upon the magnitude of the enterprise | relating to these hydrographic distriets. At least_seventy-five per cent of the forest floors of California are Incline planes, and of these planes at least sixty per cent have & declivity of twenty degrees. The space allotted to this article in this pub- leation will not admit of any extended dis- cussion as to the effects of forests upon the climate of Californla or the influence denu- dation would have upon the meteorological conditions of the State; but it wiil be accepted as a pardonable digression to call attention to the very obvlous fact that since 'seventy- five per cent of the farest areas of Callfornia are found upon inclines of from fifteen to thirty degrees, the absence of forests will cause the soil upon these slopes to disappear. The heavy ‘rainfail of the will erode these declivities and very soon lay the under- iying bedrock bare. The soil floor of the forests baving disappeared, its reservolr capacity will — Ve | - the | entral line of drain- | Wide Range and Are Rich of Geat Value. hed and the immediate delivery ' n into the channels of the these arcas will vastly churacter of the | streams a the navigability of the princiya of the State. atiy Incres od stages dur- W rainy sue und unnav- aths {0 cach yeur CLIMATE AND LATITUDE.

Irish voices “Cali- fornia's Call to the Immigrant.” This is of ag much practical interest as any topic that n be selected. “It.is not pretended,” writes Colonel Irish, “‘that California supplies any specific from her wealth of scil and sunshine that will cure unthrift, bad judgment and lack of faculty, or make the do-less a doer, but there is legitimate basis of belief that here the average man may work, in greater comfort, more -days |in the year and earn his bread easier | than under the conditions that prevall jin any other State or country.” Then | he savs: All stone fruits and the fig, pomegranate, orange, lemon, !Ime, pear and apple are pre- caclovs beures.

Y., Sept. 18.—The quar- | terly bulletin of the State Department of Labor issued to-day has this to say {as to the situation in State and na- | tion: ! “In the first quarter of the year, ow- 1 ing to labor disputes, unusually cold | and stormy weather, and lessened ac- ivity in a few industries, employment | was very poor, but subsequently there | was so much improve:nent that June and July actually surpassed the ree- { ord year of 1992. Among approximate- ly 100,000 wage earners in the various industries of the State, 137 per 1000 were reported idle at the end of June, 1604, as compared with 231 and 145 in June. 1903, end 1502, respectively: for the clcse of July in 1902, 1903 and 1904, the respective ratios were 156, and 148.

BAK FIELD, Sept. 18.—To-mor- row at noon the salocah men of Ba- kersfield and Kern, backed by the Citizens’ Alliance, will take down their union cards and the bartenders say they will go out on strike. The mevement is the first of a series planned to tring abofdt an open shon policy in all lines in what has been considered one of the strongest union tewns in the State. The troule with the bartenders be- gan with two saloons conducted by a firm that employed a men named Johnson. The unions refused to admit Johnson to membership. The Alliance was organized here about two months ago. The labor leaders say they expect a fight to a finish and last week a special meet- ing of the Labor Council was held to consider the situation. It was stated that the alliance would be allowed to make the first move. R I S Notice to Passengers. Baggage transferred to and irom all trains, steamers, etc., at low rates.
