WANT T0 HELP PICK FARM SITE { Fruit Growers Object to Lo- cation of State Ranch Near University at Berkeley AR A RESOLUTION Delegates Voice Sentiment on Proposed Agricultural | Sehool and Then Adjourn g SANTA ROSA, Dec. 8.—This morn- ing's session of the State Fruit Grow- ers’ convention was devoted to the consideration of California’s viticul- | tural interests. Andrea Sbarboro, the | San Francisco banker and secretary ot | the Swiss-Italian Colony, whose im- | mense vineyards are located at Asti in | | this county, spoke at length on vine- | | yards and wines. He said in part: At the present time the great wine producing ntries of the world are France, Italy and ain, where this heaithy beverage is not | considered a luxury but an detual necessity, | both for the poor and for the rich. What I most desire to impress you with is the fact that In these countrics where all men, women and children use wine at their meals intoxi- cation is almost unknown. In the countries | where wine is not produced, especially in Eng- |land “and the United States, the curse of drunkenness prevails to an enormous _extent and causes these Anglo-American people more misery than any other evils which exist in | these countries. It is only a few years since it was discov- ered that the Vita Vinefera, the true wine would grow In the United States, but only in the State of California. Here it thrives just the same as the grape grown in France, | Italy and the Rhine. To make viticulture successful in Califor- nia, two things are required, First, we must make as good a wine as is made in any other part of the world. Second, we must find a | market for our wines. The first point we have reached. When wine making was first commenced in Californla all kinds of people went Into the wine-making business. They learned how to make wine by the book,”” and thus generally made mis— erable failu; The first wine made, there- | e, gave California a black eye. The science | f wine making cannot be learned ‘‘by the book.” It is only by long study and years of actual practice that the wine-makers can learn to turn out a really good wine. However, we ADOPT | cipally in the hands of experienced people, who |in | | | have now pas | incompetent wine-makers d the experimental stage. The e gradually gone | the board and the industry now is prin- by made this Industry a life-long study both urope and California. The secret of good aking does not consist in only properly ity of grape, but varieties of grape must be Termented separately, and after the first year the wine made by these different qualities of apes must be blended in a proper proportion wine required by the trade, but in duce the real fine wine of delicate hav different er to D flayor and brilliancy. long time is required ve said that California wine dc not Improvs with age, This is & great fallacy When it is properly made and properly racked rom one tank to another, in order to remove sediment. . California ‘wine dcquires the soft delicate flavor, the same bouquet found in the rare fine old wines of Italy and Spain. American people to the use ble is the great problem be- tion of this great problem would remove tha curse of drunkenness from the people of our country, a blessing devoutly to be wished for. Now, what Is the cause of drunkenness? It is a 'very simple question to answer. It is the immoderate use of whis- K and strong alcoholic beverages. Wherever is not generally produced like in Holland, Russia, England and the United States, drunkenness largely prevails, while in the countries where grapes are produced and wines are made in large quantities, such as France, Italy and Spain, and where all the people use wine at their meals, consuming twenty-five ns per annum per capita, Intoxication is ctically unknown. Now, therefore, here we have the practical solution’for the removal of the curse of drunkenness in the United States, because Caiffornia can produce enough wine to the American people with twenty-five of wine per capita and of as good a quality as is produced in Europe, and thus be- come one of the great wine producing countries of the world. We have a practical proof of the correctness of this assertion by the fact that the State of California consumes more than two-thirds of the wine which Is used In all the States in he Unfon, and here we find less cnness than in any other State in the Union. rr.mk G. Sweet and Allen R. Gallo- w prominent shipper of Dry | also spoke, and George | B. Baer, Postmaster of Cloverdale and | an orange grower of that section, read an interesting paper on the citrus| products of Sonoma County. The last paper of the morning session was by H. B. Rawley. A number of resolu- tions were adopted, among them being one petitioning Secretary of Agricul- ture Wilson to extend the investiga- tion of the fungoid diseas¢ and urg- ing California representatives in Con- gress to support all reasonable mea- sures looking to an increase of the funds for the use of the Agricultural Department in order that more extend- ed Investigations may be made in mat- ters affecting the interests of the fruit growers of the country. After one of the most successful gatherings in the history of the or- ganization the convention came to a close this afternoon. One of the most spirited discussions of the week was brought on by the action of the com- mittee on resolutions in recommending the adoption of resolutions condemn- ing the idea of locating the proposed State Agricultural Farm at some point near the State University. The reso- lution reads as follows: Whereas, The State Legislature at the last session paseed a bill appropriating $150,000 for the purchase and equipment of a Stafe farm to be under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents of the State University; and Whereas, Efforts are being made to locate the farm close to Berkeley and make of it a labgratory venture; and Whereas, Such a_plan is opposed to the in- tentl of the farmers' bill and wishes of the | horticultural interests of the State; therefore be‘R‘e‘aolv d, That we declare it the sense of this convention that the farm should be located away from Berkeley and conducted in a man- ner that will enable the horticultural interests of the State to obtain practical benefits. Judge Carroll Cook of San Francisco, who has been in attendance at the convention all week and who has a farm near Glen Ellen, spoke strongly in favor of the resolution. Edward Burwick of Monterey opposed it. Other speakers followed, but the resolution went through with a rush.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 8.—As was expected, the attendance at the mass meeting held | at Turn Verein Hall to-night to discuss the forthcoming bond election was large and the interest was plainly m: est. Every reference to the bond issue was the occasion for loud applause and it needed but a hint from the speakers to arouse the livellest enthusiasm. The meeting was called at the instance of the Alum Rock Park bond committea of Five Hundred and its purpose was to en- lighten the public at large as to the va- rious improvements contemplated in the bond issue of $355,000 to be voted on next Tuesday. J. O. Hayes presided at the meeting and stirred the audience by his vigorous in- dorsement of the bond proposition. He declared that there was just one thing which he regretted and that was that more public improvemerts could not be included in the présent bond issue. Joseph D. Radford, president of the First Na- tional Bank, declared that the extension of the sewer system, the improvement of the public schools and fire houses and all the other measures contemplated in the bond election were necessities save the bond issue of $100,000 for the improve- ment of Alum Rock. This was in the na- ture of a luxury, but it would mean an additional tax of but two-thirds of 1 per cent and this should be willingly borne. Dr. Willlam Simpson, the county Health Ofticer, pointed out the hygienic require- ments of the city with reference to sew- ers and urged that every citizen should support the present movement to improve and extend the service to every section.
