Immense Wheat Farms in Califor-
nia

Califnruii papers are filled Of late with a,-
counts of wheat crop which seems TO distance
all Previous growths in that country, or, per
hapi, it my be sail, anywhere else. Reports
to the Department nG Agriculture, as we'll as
statements from various sources throughout Il e
season, had prepared us for magnificent yield !;
but no such luxuriance as is now reported was
anywhere foreshadOwed. Caifornians them
selves seem surprised The first question was
hlw to harvest it; and n,w, how to store and
move il.
Aside from the unpleasant sensations Of being
81 'ok up occasionally with ground sw U.s. tidal
wives, aud earthquakes, California might be n
profitable as well as pleasant country To live in.
II ia not All uncommon thing to see pictures Of
tho m Immpth California trees, but We seldom
see farms of such dimensions as the cne desert.
