THE CRoPs.-Six weeks ago the farmers

if not abundant harvest. Grain looked
well, and gave promise Of more than an
average yield But the conditions upon
which the hopes of the farmers were oassed
have not been favorable. and now the pros
pect is reversed. In Livermore Valley
the granary of the county-the crops a e

nights, followed by dry, northerly winds,
tapping up the moisture and sucking the
life from vegetation, have done more to-
ward producing the present portentIous
prospects, than lack of water fall. In this
valley (between Centerville and Oakland)
the crops look more favorable, but the last
few scorching days must have injured
them Immensely, and if the dry weather
continues few days longer, the valley
will be in as bad condition as Livermore.
The failure of crops will fall heavily upon
large number of honest, industrious
farmers, and to many of them, who were
relying upon the proceeds of the harvest to
bring them out Of debt. the loss of labor

The Railroad and Large Land
Holders

Messrs. Croker, Hubbard and Stro
bridge, of the California aud Oregon Rail
road, visited Chico this week, looking
the interests of the road Their arrange
ments are now completed in all the details,
and under the rapid prosecution of the
work we may expect the advent very short
ly Mr. Croker expressed himself highly
delighted with the general appearance OF
our country, spoke well of its resources,
but declared that the large land monopolies
covering the section was a great drawback
to its development and progress. His
survey Of the route from Maiysville to the
Bluffs showed so small settlement as to
afford but little encouragement for the
building of railroads. Distances of three
to twelve miles intervene between settle
ments. which being covered by grant
claims embracing endless acres, are com
pletely barred to habitation and improve
ment
First upon the list is the Esquon grant,
or the Neal ranch, containing five leagues,
or 2. .l95 acres of land This grant has
been divided, the present owner, Mr.. Dur
ham, now only holding 5000 acres. which
he is willing to divide, again. The road
passes through four miles of this grant
I'd. The Aeuas Fras grant, or judge
Pratt ranch, consisting of six leagues, or
26, 76l acres. The road passes three
miles through this grant.
Sd. The Arroyo Chico grant or the Bid
we'll ranch. containing five leagues, or
22,22 acres, the road passing through it
four and three fourth miles.
4th. ! he Bosquejo grant, or Old Lassen
rancho now known as the Col Wilson and
tierke lands, Containing SIX leagues, or
26, 76l acres Mr. Gerke now offers to
divide up into lots of 100 acres. The
road passes through this grant seven and
one balf miles.
9th The Molino grant, or Tooms rancho,
containing about $4,000 acres-the road
passing through the same seven miles.
9th. The Birrendos grant, Or Fratt and
Cones ranches, containing about 10000
acres, more OF less-the road passing
through nine n.iles.
This gives 35! miles in a distance of
32 miles of passage Of the railroad through
hrds containing l32,9j8 acres, known as
grant lands, and in Il great measure owned
in large parcels by single landlords This
is showing sufficient to discourage the

PLANT ORANGE TREEs-PeoI lie ought
to be aware that orange trees will ply,
though they require "a long time to come
to perfection. Let every mans ounds
contain few trees. The orange is the
queen of trees for beauty, while it becomes
a permanent blessing to mans heirs, for
it attains great age, and grows better
fruit as it grows older.-Santa Barbara
Press.
This advice is just as applicable to the
dwellers in all the valleys of the State
We have but lately learned, from expert
ence, that the orange tree grows as well in
Sacramento and north far beyond Chico.
as at Los Angeles; hence, next year when
trees from local nurseries can be had, de
advice of the Press will be needed in this
vicinity And these California oranges
are more desirable than the imported fruit
Judging from the price of each. We
know nothing of the wholesale rates, but
in San Francisco the Tahiti oranges of
large size are selling, at retail, for twenty
FIVE cents per dozen, and the California
oranges, much smaller, brings thirty-seven
and half cents per dozen while in Sac
ramento the former brings fifty cents per
dozen By and by we will have enough of
our own to stop the importation of this
fruit, just as we hope to soon make cur
own butter, cheese, etc, and thus become
rich by using our own products aud devel-
