Gardening Profits.

In the early Spring, at the time of
planting garden crops, the HERALD con-
tanned an article on the profits Of gar
den products, that attracted much atten-
ton. A few of our own citizens, who
raise grain, oranges or sheep. thought
the estimate too high. but an examine
tiou of the crops produced this summer
shows that the estimates were too low.
The value Of the crops produced is far
above our estimate made at that time.
In conversation yesterday with one of
the Cahuenga farmers, who owns few
acres of land near Cahuengs Pass, we
learned that he purchased few acres
four years ago. at SIS per acre, and later
some additional acres at $40 per acre.
On the place was small house and
well. He has raised tomatoes, potatoes,
peas and melons and found them very
profitable. On three-fourths of an acre
Of land last spring he raised Sis worth
of peas. and after that crop of melons
that pay at the rate Of $500 per acre,
His next neighbor this year raised a
crop of potatoes that sold early for $500
per acre. On the same land, after
the potatoes had been sold, he planted
the ground to water melons, which are
yieldidg most astonishing results. One
single vine, twelve feet long, had three
melons Of the following weights: One Of
"a pounds. one of 100 pounds, and one
Of l04 pounds. making 2ss pounds of de-
licous food from q single seed. Two of
the melons were yesterday to be seen in
the market at Woodhead 4 Gays, while
tho third was cut for seed at home. The
custom in raising these monsters melons,
which are Of the finest kind, is to allow
but one melon to ripen on vine at a
time, but in this case the vine was al
lowed to mature three of these giant
globes of sweetness. Such melons sell
from 81 to s. apiece, as special attrac-
tions for parties and hotel dinners. Mr..
F. Godde is the gentleman who raised
these fine melons, which, with 300 vines
to the acre, will net him at least a dollar
vine. Another crop could be pro-
duced that would ripen in De-
cember, but at that time of the
year melons are not in demand on ac-
count Of the GOODNESS Of the weather.
and so the land is planted with toma-
toes, that will ripen in the winter, and
keep up rotation of crops.
Another feature Of this production
should be observed, that all these crops
are raised without irrigation, and pay
the fortunate owners from $500 to $500
per acre, with very little labor and ex-
pense. II must also be noticed that
this high brushland that yields these
wonderful crops cannot now be pur-
chased for less than 500 per acre, and
at that price are cheaper than lands in
the central States at IS per acre.

LETTERS FROM TINE PEOPLE.
High License-A Voice From the
Peddlers.

EDITOR Los ANGELES DAILY HER
AID The last part of section twelve OF
the license law, enacted June 4th, 1888,
by the Board of Supervisors for the
county Of Los Angeles, reads as follows;
"Every peddler, travelling merchant or
hawker, who vends goods, wares or
merchandise Of any kind, and who uses
in connection with such business horse
or other animal or vehicle, shall pay as
such license tax the sum of $40 per
quarter"
We claim the above TO be unjust, un.
reasonable and out of all proportion to
the tax imposed upon store-keepers,
which is only from SO to IS per quarter.
1t is prohibitory license and discrimin-
ates against certain class of poor men
who are trying to get an honest living.
The law has ruined our business for the
present, and unless the Board of Super
visors change the law so as to give us an
equal chance with other trauers, we VIII
have to break up and get out of the
country, When the people elect men to
Office they expect them to look after the
interests of all and make the burden Of
supporting the government as equal as
possible. but when the people see the
injustice of laws like the present license
law, many begin to think we would be
better off without any law or lawmakers.
II those in power have decided that the
rich men shall possess this land, the
sooner the poor men find it out the
better. All we ask is an even chance
with other traders, nothing more, moth.
ing less. PEDDLER.
