EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN The subject of SELL
ing our fruit at remunerative figures is one
that should be sifted to the bottom by all
intelligent producers, or others interested,
directly or indirectly. Unsatisfactory re-
turns, or none at all, are the result of GER
tain first causes. Among these, picking
fruit before it can by any possible means
become palatable stands first, and is easiest
remedied Carloads of green, sour grapes,
of half-grown, fuzzy peaches, of purple
Duane plums are thrust upon Eastern
markets early in the season, and one dose
of this fresh California fruit 6isguSts pur-
chasers and all who are so unfortunate as to
taste it. Result-We have lost, say five
consumers and carload of this stuff ali
enates thousands of people who, had the
fruit been sufficiently ripe, would have
continued to buy and consume our fruit
whenever it could be bad at paying prices.
An experience of nine years in growing
and shipping fruit convinceS me that Du-
ane purple plums. and Georges late cling
peach, and Rose de Peru grapes color up"
fully six weeks before they can be eaten by
ANYBODY but a boy and not by him unless
he pliers them and devours them in seclu-
sion, where his grimaces may not be seen.
No business that resorts to or acquieSces in
deception can survive, even one season, and
when a consignment of fruit bellies its
name it not only reacts upon the consignor,
but it directly Injuries every citizen of our
State by lowering our rating" as a fruit
growing section.
The next cause of failure lies in the su-
premely stupid system of Cutting a mar
ket. Chicago can handle, say, two cars
per day of good fruit, but in Newcastle's
DAYS, Florin and Sacramento will each
consign one or more cars to Chicago, and
produce a glut that eliminates every cent
of returns, il it does not Justify draft
upon the consgnor for shortage.
As means CT avoiding glut in any one
place, suggest that the station agents at
the various shipping points be advised
every day by the shippers OF the kind of
fruit, number of cars and destination of
the proposed shipments. These agents
Immediately report 70 central agent at
Sacramento, who collates these varied re-
| ports and Immediately reports back to the
various shipping points the information.

occur in Chicago and Denver, and famine

such changes may be made as will insure

submit this proposed plan to the careful
consideration of the shippers OF the State,

not all, will see the advantage of knowing
in advance, and while it may be remedied,

, loss in some points East. Ii 1t appears
that all points are to be -glutted, upon q

turns for the balance, instead of losing all.

Tho Sacramento Valley.

Hon. II. NJ. Van Arman, recently APP
pointed Immigration Agent for the South
ern Pacific Company at Chicago, has re-
turned from trip over the California and
Oregon Railroad, and is very enthusiastic
concerning the extent, richness and posi-
bilities OF the Sacramento valley He
says: " was astonished and delighted
with the immense amount of fine land
passed over. In some places the valley is
eighty miles wide, and the soil is of the
very best quality. Wheat, oats, barley,
corn, vegetables, fruits of all kinds, figs,
nuts, etc, grow in abundance. This valley
will compare favorably with the most-fa-
vored localities of this most-favored State.
The climate is the finest in the State,
while lands can be had at very mod
crate prices. The resources of this valley
are very little understood, or this section
would long since have been doomed more
than any other portion of the State In
the cultivation of the soil here no irriga-
ton is necessary, and abundant yield al
ways rewards him who industriously tills
the valley or plows the foothills. The
cities, towns and villages are fourishing.
This is noticeably so in Red Bluff and
Redding, each of which contains popula-
ton of about 1000 people. In Tehama
county there are 100000 acres of land,
with population of the entire county of
only about 10000 souls. Lands can be
purchased at from $40 to $50 per acre, and
and at such prices with these advantages,
they cannot long remain unoccupied.'
