there because IL fails TO take the eli
mate, soil, pursuits and needs OF the
southern part Of the State sufIi-
ciently into consideration. There is a
wide diiierencein these respects between
different parts Of the State. In the
south there is little rain, often not
more than few inches throughout the
year. Bee culture and sheen raising
the orange, lime, vine, almond and va
rious other semi-tropical fruits flourish
there. In the north there IA usuallv
rain enough in winter, and sometimes
too much. Mining and grain growing
are largely conducted there. These in
tcrests exercise more influence in the
legislatu re than those of the south do.
The southern part Of the State would
like to, but cannot. get State aid for
artificial irrigation. For these reasons
secession movement has been under
way, and mass meetings are being held.
One obstacle TO success in the move
ment is the lack Of population A State
