LEGAL mm North Victoria and Ontario General Advertiser. We are supposed to have two seasons, the dry and the Wet. The wet season generally comes on in December and lasts throughout January and February. ', This intervalis not at all so very wet, compared with other countries. It is only to be understood as applying to that time of the year during which any rain ever falls. We may have a day or two of rain out of every fifteen or twenty during these three months. For the rest of the year it is entirely dry, save for the heavy dew which falls at night and which supplies to vegetation the lack of moisture for want of rain. Strictly speaking we have only one sea- son and that is one continuous and , eternal summer. Except during the rainy season there is not a cloud visible , above the horizon and for nine months ' ata stretch there is nothing but unin- - terrupted sunshine. Thunder and lightning, blizzards and cyclones, earth- quakes and floods are totally unknown on this coast. We are more exempt i from any fury of the elements and more I favored by all their benefits, than in any ’ other locality that I know of. Our cli~ mate on this coast makes it the most de- lightful spot in the world to live in. It is both a winter and a summer resort. In the summer people come here to keep ~ cool and in the winter to keep warm and . at all seasons to escape the miasmatic, ‘ nervous and contagious influences which . prevail in other localities and latitudes. Another 1wculiarity is that we have a variety of dfi'erent climates. We have i the coast climate. tempered by the cool sea breezes, which is always moist and bracing ; we have the warm. balmy cli- I mate ofthe valleys, sheltéred from the sea breezes and the northern winds ;and we have the still more elevated climate of the foot-hills and mountain ranges. which is dry and warm at the same time and so beneficial to consumptives and those suffering from rheumatism and neuralgic diseases. Even on the same ranche or farm two or three kinds of climate are advertised, according as it may be cut up and subdivided by so many different agents. Difierent kinds of climate, within a radius of a mile or 'two of each other, may at first appear i paradoxical, but one can readily under- 1 stand it by remembering how much )warmer the south side of a house or a straw stack is in the winter than the north side. An intervening range of bills. or a slight elevation or depression : in the contour of the landscape, makes a difference of one or two degrees in cli- mate in places not more than a mile apart. As with climate so it is with soil in Southern California. There are many kinds and different varieties of the same kind. ‘ But the prevailing characteristic and basic foundation of all soil. in this locality. is agranite form- ation. This has been produced by a gradual disintegration and crumbling of the different forms of granite and other kinds of rock which constitute the mountain ranges and foot-hills of the in- terior. The debris, ground almost into fine rand by volcanic agency and other causes. has been washed down from the mounfniu sides in past ages and collect ed 'r::wtlier on each side of the streams and rivers in the lower valleys and more level tableland. This has been mixed. to 9. more or less extent, with decayed l i i I i l i l l vow-table matter. clay, or sand. in‘ different proportions. the whole making asort of rich alluvial deposit, yielding in x'roat quantities and of excellent. qzu’ity. the various kinds of cereals. . vegetables and fruit. By a casual in. I spoctiou, in its natural dry state. one won I imagine it to be totally unfit for cultivuion. but. when it is properly waiewl and irrigated. it beoomes very productive and fertile. On account of its "Vireo. granular nature and possess- l An Interesting Letter from Former Resident of Eldon. FROM CALIFORNIA. |Oontinued from our last] WOODVILLE ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1888 " ing a large percentage of sand, it is very porus and easily worked. In some places the vegetable deposit predomin- ate and here wehave the characteristical Adobe clay from which the native Mexi- cans build their houses, by first form- ing it into a thick paste, which is then moulded into large bricks and finally dried by the heat of the sun. 0n the Mesas, or upper tableland. the soil is a little coarser and more sandy than on the bottom lands and yield largely the different kinds of vegetables anddeciduous fruit. Again. higher up in the foothills, the soil is coarser, more gravelly and warmer still and this is the true home of the Citrus family, such as the orange, lemon, lime, are. The eye cannot be re- lied upon as a judge of any soil in Southern California. Even that which appears to be pure sand, when well treated to seed and water under the California sun. will give results that will astonish the most experienced farmer or gardener from any other land. The difi'erent and various kinds of soil, to- gether with the diversity of climate, give this state a wider range of produc- tions than can be found in any other country on the globe. But this soil, pro- ductive as it may be, would be totally valueless without the aid of water. Water is king on this coast and it is only by atliorough and expensive system of utilizing it for irrigating purposes that this desert land has been reclaimed from its primitive barrenness and deso- lation. To the people of Victoria 00., who have been accustomed to depend on Providence and the prayers of the “unco guid," for either rain or sunshine, when they have an excess of the other one, it may be interesting to know how the pro- cess of irrigating land in this country is carried on. The. first thing is to form a joint stock company, (all enterprises, schemes and investments are carried on by the aid of stock companies or syndi- cates in this country.) Some of these ' corporations have a capital of one million dollars or more and wield an immense influence in their particular district and l neighborhood. The object is to develop a water right and reclaim all waste land that can be reached by their system. The State Legislature is very liberal in its concessions and protection to such I companies. Each company has its own particular district, generally including i the water of several small streams or one large river. In some places where there is no running water available they build immense dams and reservoirs against the foothills and generally at the mouth of a gorge or canon and de- pend on the rainy season and the melt- ing of the snow on the mountains for their supply. They can thus drain the surrounding country of all surface and surplus water for miles in either direc- tion and store it up in the reservoir, against the time it becomes necessary to use it for irrigating purposes. Huge ditches are dug from these reservoirs in a circuitous ecurse so as to touch all the land to be irrigated. In some places, where there are obstructions in the way, the ditch assumesthe form of an iron or cement pipe and in other places a rectangular trough of wood supported on trestle work. Each farmer has a flood~ gate at the head of his land, through. which he can let the water on his field of grain, or orchard, just when and in the quantity he wants. Each one thus benefitted pays to the water company a regular tax of so much per day or hour for the use of the water and are only allowed to turn it on by permission oh- tamed from the company's ofilce. Such is the fertility of the soil and the benefits I to be derived from this system of irriga- I tion. that the land yields from two to '. six crops each year. The land is never ’ ; allowed to be idle. The moment one 3 . crop is harvested another is put 11] and i . it is: a common sight to see on the same I ; farm ripe wheat in one field and green I ; barley sprouting out of the ground in ‘1 another.

As almost every person knows California first made its mark in the gold produc- ing state; but this produce, great as it still remains. is now ontrivalled and fairly eclipsed, by Its agricultural and horticultural productions. The yield of wheat is very great. There are pro- lbably no less than one hundred farms or ranches in this state containing from 40,000 to 100,000 acres each. 3 1s a common thing to see a 60,000 acre farm all in wheat and under one man'sowner- ship and management. Under our ex- cellent system of irrigation tw0 crops of wheat can be raised each year. The yield is very productive and the quality of the best. The method of harvesting wheat in this country is somewhat differ- ent from that in Canada. The straw is of no use and not cut down. The reaper, called here “Header" simply cuts 01! the heads, leaving the straw standing, to be trampled and plowed under for the next crop. The “Shippee Harvester." manufactured at Stockton, this State, will. cut, thresh and sack the grain. It takes 10 horses and a crew of 8 men to work it and its cutting capac ity is 100 acres per day. Barley ranks next to wheat in importance in this state. Of this three crops can be raisedt each year. The greater part of it is ca . green and pressed into bales for fodder. Alfalfa is the staple hay in this country. This is what is known as “Lucerne” in Europe. It closely resembles the red clover of Canada. It can be out six times a year. yielding two tons to the acre at each cutting and lands well adapted for its growth command a higher price and sell more reaily than others. It seems to be very nutritious ; horses. cattle hogs and even poultry thriving and fattening on it. In the vegetable line we can get from three to five crops each year. The potato crop is particularly good, yielding as high as 8200 to the acre. Next to gold the great staple product of California is fruit. Both the climate and the soil are well adapted for fruit culture and all kinds and varieties are raised in great profusion. During the excitement in real estate matters for the three past years a great many of the best orchards and vineyards in the immediate vicinity of the large cities and towns have been abandoned, the trees and vines cut down and the land subdivied into town lots. But a strong re-action is now sett- ing in against this vandalism. as it is found that the profit from raising fruit is almost as great as from selling corner lots.
