Republican County Convention.


We call the attention of ofRepublicans, through
ort New Castle County, to the meeting of the
|County Convention, at New Castle, on Saturday
In next week, the 10th inst. Several important
and interesting items of business will claim the
attention of the meeting, and there should be a
large gathering.
4 he Proper Means of Obtaining the Desired
Result
In reference to the communication of DR..
Brown, on EqualIRepresentation little needs to
IN said. He affects to question the sincerity of
Il la Repubcan purpose to establish a just APP
|eortionment, but he brings no evidence to show
sbat the purpose deserves the shadow of a
|soubt. His own party has refused the slightest
.Oncession toward Equal Representation, though
holding the power to establish it completely and
eerfectly, while the Republican Party has gone
Il far as it can 90. until it comes into the con-
hol of the State and in that event, is pledged,
3,rmally and solemnly, to Equal Representation;
8 In the light OF these facts, DR.. Browns refusa'
N support Republican candidates proves thathe
i NOT much in earnest on the subject, after all,
And throws into a still more questionable
lsO.ition the revolutionary slogan which he in
|ss,s shall at once be sounded. People who de-
Ia to fight are seldom without opportunity to
blulge their propensity, Mexico and Cuba are
n sar at hand. But the question at issue in Della

Crop Prospects in CalifOrnia---F Farming on n
Gigantic scnle.

Gigantic scale.
Advices from the interior counties Of Califor-
MIA report favorably upon the prospects for the
growing crops, and the condition of the land
generally is such as to admit OF its early prepar-
alton for spring seeding.
writer from Solano county says the summer
falowed wheat in many places will soon hide the
ground Not much of the winter sowed grain s
in yet but everything indicates large yield of
grain this year, and the farmers are in the best
Of spirits. The most favorable reports are re-
ceived from all parts of the San Joaquin Valley,
concerning the prospect for an immense crop of
grain at the coming harvest. The grain sowed
upon summer-fallowed land is now looking finely
and the quantity of land thus cultivated is larger
than ever before. In the AmadOr region, early
sown grain on summer fallow everywhere looks
| vigorous, and gives early promise of an abund-
| ant yield. Vinicutursts are busy trimming their
vines and preparing for the coming vintage
From present Indications our crops will be heav-
| Ter by far than those of any former year in the
history of mountain farming, and will add still
| further proof Of the value of the foothills for
| agricultural purposes.
| A large number of farmers are settling in the
mountains of Santa Cruz near the Santa Clara
| line, on the head waters of the San Lorenzo,
| and several are putting iD grain planting or
chards and vineyards. Wherever piece Of
| open land is found crops of grain and hay will
| be cultivated" One firm will put about six
thousand acres in the San Joaquin valley to
wheat, this season. To do this, it will require
| one hundred and eighty tons OF seed, ana, at a
fair average yield, it will take $4,000 worth of
sacks, to contain the harvest. On the west side
of the river in the San joaquin valley, from
Antioch soutward for more than hundred
miles, the whole surface Of the ground is cover.
ed with wheat. Farms varying in size from 16(
acres to 1000 acres are ploughed, narrowed, and
sown in wheat Down the valley wheat-sowing
and wheat-growing has become almost mania
Everybody sows wheat. Further south, in the
Alabama settlement, in other portions of Fresno
county, and in Tulare snd Kern counties, the
favorable season and the approaching railroad
have stimulated the farmer to extraordinary ex
ertions, and larger area than ever before il
| sown in wheat.
