BY the sweat Of their broBs and the pro-

away by the dissimilarities which violate
their ideas of all rural prophecies, and
shock their prejudies of rural practice;
they cannot see why rain should kill

fields be green in winter and brown and

country where strawberries and black
berries persist in coming into market
simultaneously, and apples and almonds
grow together with figs and oranges, and
all sorts of fruits are fresh and timely

Acres.

The acres of land enclosed have in
creased, as reported from 4,207, 131 to
6,262, ga; the acres cultivated, from l.
IA 1927 to 3,2G5,716 The assessed
value of property, real and personal, has
advanced from S197, CSC, 107 to SILL
256, 939. The population has steadily
increased, as shown by tie registry of
voters, 10, 4S1 and 113, $50, an increase
of 46 per cent. The number of sheep
are given at the former date, 1,346. 749;
at the later, 4,S9S,001; but the total
numbers were not reported for taxation
in either case, as only about two-thirds
as much wool is reported as there is ac-
tually sold for consumption. The irriga-
ton bitches reported have on y increased
from Gil to $50, but the acres irrigated
are returned at 139, $40, insteal of 81,
S13. Barely four per cent of the cul-
tivated area is returned as under irriga-
ton, and tho practice is confined to
orchards and gardens.

plished in section Of country owned
