Solano County.
Solano county is valley and Coast Range
foothill It's soils vary from alluvial bot
toms, along streams, TO plains clay loan,
and to the foothill sand rock formation
Its temperature is that of hot valley
country, with some bay exposure, while
the foothill region is almost wholly exempt
from fog. No irrigation is required in this
county. 1t gets more rain following the
| range of foothills than outside of it. The
chief products are grain, fruit and grapes.
From Vacaville, in 1886, the shipments of
fruit were alone 1000 carloads, of which
$50 or 100 cars went East. Vacayille
claims to be the largest shipping point of
! ueclduOuS fruits III tDe state. Inc fOOthlll
region of Solano is simply the most fertile,
the richest and most productive fruit sec
ton in all our region. Solano is largely
engaged in
ALMOND PRODUCTION.
! Mr.. A. T. Hatch has $40 acres of orchard,
with lis in almonds alone. in Suisun val
ley, and he will plant 100 more in 1887.
He exhibits 191 varieties of the almond at
the fair 1t is an exhibit that should be
examined carefully by ell. OF these lis
varieties, 65 originated by him are better
than the Lsnguedoc, because they produce
| twice as much, or more, market for more
per pound, and cost far less to husk
There SIRE other seedlings in California,
originated here, that are good and better
than the imported of any variety. Mr..
Hatch has one variety that has not shell
enough 10 cover the kernel, being thirteen
ounces of meat to three ounces of she'll
No foreign land can equal this. He has
another little thicker, that is better
keeper Il has eleven and half ounces of
kernel. A finer sweet and soft shell can
not be found. He exhibits also three va
rieties of English walnuts. Olives will
grow anywhere in the county politically.
Wolfskills', John and S. c., and McMa-
