Sacramento Grapes.

Sacramento Grapes.
Some very large grapes, and of excellent |
favor, have been received in the city from
the Sargent Ranch, on the Stockton road, /
about nine miles from Sacramento. Those |
examined were of the black Malvoise and |
black Hamburg varieties, and grown with |
out irrigation, and it is stated, with very |
ordinary cultivation. There is no doubt |
but that with full and deep cultivation of
these lands, which are so admirably adapt |
ed to fruit-growing, irrigation is not only
not necessary, but would be detrlment
This fact cannot long be overlooked in the
comparison of this section of the State
with the southern part OF California, where
irrigation, on account Of lack of rainfall i'll
winter season, is regarded by those residing
there as absolutely necessary.
Sacramento county throughout, rs fruit
growing locality, is fast gaining prom-
nence and by reason of having the leading
fruit market upon the coast within her
own limits, for the capital city has justly
acquired that distinction by reason OF her
superior central location and facilities for
shipment TO the East, her cannerieS, wine
rieS, etc, will at no distant day be little
empire of itself for the production ofnearly
every species and variety of fruit not
specially tropical in its nature.
1t is to the interest of fruit dealers to
encourage the fruit-growing industry
as far as possible, and the proni-
hence of this market, by giving as libe-
raj prices for fruit of all kinds as
the state of the market will warrant re-
CARELESS of q little lower rate which might
be fixed by hard bargains, etc. 1t is be-
ieved and known that Il spirit OF fairness
and liberality i'll respect to prices paid gen.
orally prevails here, and the reputation OF
our dealers upon this point is most favor
able rs a rule There is some complaint
however, at the present time, that not
nearly as good prices are paid for grapes
here as ri sNme other points, and
inquiries are being made of grape-groWers
TO ascertain if they cannot make 1t more TO
their advantage to sell elsewhere. There
is no reason why as good prices cannot be
paid by the wineries i'll and near the city as
at Woodland, Napa and other places, and
those engaged in the purchase of grapes
for these establishments cannot afford to
pursue an illiberal policy as to prices, and
thereby permit buyers from abroad to carry
away our wine-grape crop and thus reduce
the volume of our home market.

place are paying the following prices: Ris-
lings, from $50 to So per ton Berger and

LEMAY's HOP REPoEr.-Le May Brothers
London circular Of September Sth says
There IS more doing in new hops at cur
rent rates. The rough weather of the last
few DAYS has damaged the crop to certain
extent. After 4 thorough ana personal ex-
animation Of the hop gardens Of England,
we are OF opinion that the crop will turn
out little over half our annual consump-
ton, and that the quality will be exceed
ingly good; the long spell of fine sunny
wcathe- having developed the lupuline OF
the hop to an extent far above anything we
have had for very many years Even the
early hops, Such as Prolihcs, Henham
Jones. and Meopham GoidingS, are full
of condition. and the DRAWINGS or
'Hilton's Goldings" and Whites Early
Go!dings' are simply lovely in appear
ance and fat with condition. Some few
growers in the parishes of Lan5crhurSt,
HOrsmouden, Goudhurst, and Brenchley,
will grow an average of 12-cwt- per acre
but, taking al the English hop grounds to-
gether, We should estimate a yield of 5-cwt.
per acre, or equal to 4l75,090 old iuty.

disciple Of Grover to distinguish himself
1t is stipulated, however, that the other
contestant shall be 4 '49er, and that fact
will no doubt end the matter, rs any person
who has been here since 1919. and who has
been obsevant, and is interested enough III
politics TO offer Il wager on the subject

THE GRAIy MARKrr.-Tons Of grain ar

by teams from the surrounding country
Wheat has advanced some in price. Tel

mills, is bringing so cents. while corn j
scarce az 81 80. The farmers on the Cosum
mes, who have good corn crops this year
will realize more to the acre than those en-
gagged in the hop business.
