VOICE FROM NEVADA COUNTY.
The citrus fair to be opened at Sacra-
mento on the 11th instant is exciting much
interest in the central counties of the State.
and there is now every probability that the
display Will far exceed any expectation that
the public may have had of the ability of
upper California to make such a showing
III semi-.ropical products. 1t is true that
citrus fruits have not been cultivated in the
region named to an extent large enough ia
be considered factor of much moment as
compared with other productions; and in
many instances have been raised in q small
way more as matter of taste and eXperi-
ment, but results have been so gratifying
as to demonstrate the capability of soil and
climate and encouragement for a more ey-
tended and enlarged culture. In size
flavor, variety and general excellence OF
quality the citrus fruits within the circuit
OF the Sacramento valley have been found @
compare well with those of the lower sec
ton OF the State, and that it is only needed
TO bring together the products that are
aVMIabIe to convince our own people and
the strangers who may be within our gates
how extensive and varied are the resources
OF this favored portion of the Golden State
The citrus fair will be novelty, a genuine
and pleasant attraction and an undoubted
success.-[Grass Valley Union.
SUFFER- COUNTY SPEAKS.
A northern California citrus fair is to he
| held at the city of Sacramento from the 11th
| to the 10th of January, 1885, This is a
| laudable movement, and will do more to
convince the world at large that the south
end OF the State is not the only spot in Cal
| lfornia that produces citrus fruits. The
| fact is, we know from personal observation
| that such fruits do quite as well here as
elsewhere. Our people have now the op-
] portunity to demonstrate their assertions
Messrs. S. j. Stabler and George Ohleye1
| have been appointed committee to solici,
and receive specimens of fruits to be
shipped, who will give all necessary in
structions how to proceed. The fruit should
of course be carefully packed and labeled
| by the grower, as the committee have not
| time to do it. The fruit will be shipped by
rail free of expense, which is borne by the
| society. Our county has not engaged ex-
| tensively in the growing of citrus fruits
but 1t Is well adapted to them, and there
can be gathered as fine specimens as are
! grown anywhere, and we would urge all
such to bring them forward and assist in
this mid-winter citrus fair Bring out your
big oranges, lemons, lines, persimmons
| and open-air flowers, and let the world
know what we can do
FROM soLANo COUNTY
Solano county can and ought to make a
large and creditable exhibition at the
citrus fair in Sacramento. Heretofore, our
orchardists and viticulturists have been
exceedingly indifferent and careless about
such matters, which no doubt accounts
for the fact that other counties, infinitely
inferior to Soiano in point of natural ad-
vantages, are much better advertised and
more eagerly sought after by Eastern i'm
migration.- Dixon Tribune
