Old PuuvIUs AS A Bug DEsTRoYEB.-C.
L. Kinkade, {. farmer who resides near Da-
visville, was in this city yesterday, aud says
the crops from Dixon to Woodland. and in
feet in every portion of Yolo county, have
not looked go well, nor promised such abun-
DAFT harvasts, in ten years past as they do at
| present. A few weeks since bug appeared
| in the grain fields, and the farmers were fear
| full that they would entirely destroy the
crops. The last heavy rain, however, COM
pletely destroyed these insect pests, aud the
| farmers are happy and anticipate abundant
harvests and golden returns. The adobe soil
| in the neighborhoOd Of Dixon, which could
| have been purchased few years ago for So
| per acre, has by a system OF summer-fallowing
| been made very valuable, and this year will
| yield at least forty bushels per acre. Reports
| from oil parts of Sacramento county indicate
that the grain yield this year will be largely
in excess of that of any for several years past.
