The Grainfield. Par Excellence. OF
Los Angeles County-What May
Be Seen in the Superb San Fer
nando vailey--Wheat and Barley
TIL the Eye Is wearied by Its
Luxuriance- Real Farms. With
Perfect Farm Appointments.
In the famous dry year OF 1857
the editor OF the HERALD made circuit
Of Los Angeles county with view OF
showing that, even in such season OF
comparative priyation. this section
,6bounded in various and valuable re-
sources. He proposes now, in what will
prove to be more than an average season,
to go over the county from time to time,
and to give, in this journal, the result of
his observation:
Friday morning last, at eight o'clock.
we started, under the auspices Of our &C.
NAL friend, AL Workman, Of the San
Fernando valley, to see something of the
grain prospects Of tho county Of Los
Angeles. We rogret--but very luke
warmly-that our narrative is destined
to put out Of joint the noses of those
oold-blooded spectators who have pre-
pared corners in grain and hay for our
devoted people. We have done much,
hitherto. to discomfort this Shylock pro-
gramme. We shall do much more in
the future, God and nature favorine us,
ms they are hourly doing, to retire a
scheme Of sordid speculation.
Mr.. Workman selected the road
through the Cahuenga Pass as that best
calculated to show what lies ahead for
this county, irrespective of the San Fer
nando, from grain standpoint. As a
matter OF fact, we found that even the
mesa lands along this route are aligned
by magnificent fields of grain, flourish
ing vineyards and promising orchards.
