IRRIGATION IN THE VALLEY.

Notwithstanding many of the papers in
the northern portion CT the State have
been constantly asserting that in that sec
ton irrigation is unnecessary, practical
wine-growers and raisin and fruit-growers,
except on the immediate river bottoms,
have almost universally been irrigating their
vineyards and orchards, and as universally
assert the practice necessary to success.
The late G. G. Briggs owed his success in
raisin culture, in his vineyards in Yolo and
Solano counties, to the perfect systems OF
underground and surface irrigation, pro-
vided at great expense, and put in practice
with great care every year. r. B. Blowers
owes his reputation as a raisin-producer as
much to the elaborate system of irrigation
of his vineyard as to his great care in cul-
tivation and manipulation of the grape.
The success of Yolo as a fruit and raisin-
growing county has only been achieved
and rendered possible by the use of water
for irrigation from Cache Creek and Wood
land owes its exceptional prosperity to the
same facilities for irrigation, of which the
farmers have taken advantage. Fiorin
would have remained a sheep-pasture but
for the flow of water so near the surface,
which has been brought up by the army OF
windmills and spread over the surface,
making the once desert bloom as the rose,
ana creating one OF the most prosperous
communities in the State.
The wonderful growth of C. w. Reed
young peach orchard at Brighton is owing
to the Semi artesian well, from which the
steam pump has lifted water for irrigating
the same. A few farmers favorably located
in Colusa county opened out an old slough
and brought water from the Sacramento
river. and BY the use of it one season illus
| trated the advantages of irrigation, and as
a result the value of all their lands in
creased from $50 to $3.50 an acre

FREE ArrRorRIArIoN OF WATER.


So could go on enumerating local in
stances illustrative of the .vantages of
irrigation sill over the northern portion of
the State, but / have named enough for my
purpose. / will now venture the assertion
that if the law of California was well set
tied in favor of the free appropriation of
water for irrigation and other useful pur-
poses, and irrigation bitches were built to
take water out of the various rivers of the
Sacramento valley to the same extent as
they are built to take water out of the
rivers of the San Joaquin valley, in six
months time the value of real estate in
that valley would advance in the aggregate
more than fifty per cent; indeed, l think it
would advance more than 100 per cent. I'M
der such circumstances.
am more than justified in this assertion
by the history of irrigation in the San
Joaquin valley. Ten years ago that valley
was an uninhabited waste, and the land
worth from 81 % to 81 90 per acre. Irri-
CATION has been introduced in some parts
OF the valley. and where this has been
done uncultivated land is on an average
worth $25 per acre, while land under culti-
walton has advanced to $50 and sl5G per
acre.
