THE CREAM OF THE STAFF.
This is What Governor st. Joha Says Of
The Sacramento Valley.

This is What Governor st. Joha Says of
The Sacramento Valley.
Ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas, who
has recently travelled throughout the length
and breadth of California, writes TO the
New York Witness recently as follows:
l am of the opinion, after a
somewhat careful Investigation of the
matter, that, taking everything into con-
sideration, the upper Sacramento valley is
the cream" of the State and presents more
real, solid inducements to immigrants than
are to be found in any other place on the
Pacific Slope. All kinds OF fruits and
cereals requiring irrigation or fertilizers in
Southern California are here successfully
produced in great abundance, without
river, from which the valley derives its
name, is stream of clear, pure water.
navigable for steamers and barges the year
round, and furnishes not only ample means
for the transportation of the products of
the valley 20 the harbor of, San Francisco.
where connection is made with ships to all
parts of the world, but serves as protec-
ton against freight charges that otherwise
might be imposed upon shippers
by the several railroads running through
the valley. In addition to the unlimited
supply Of water afforded by the river, there
are many small streams coming from the
mountains on either side, while an mex
haustible supply of well-water can be OBJ
tanned almost anywhere in the valley at a
depth of from fifteen to forty feet. There
is also great abundance of timber in this
part of the State. In the matter
of climate, no other part of our country
equals the Pacific Slope, and make the
prediction that ten years from now this
State will contain 100000 population"

killing, and by running water in small
irrigating streams around the orchard.
The pest did not interfere with peach trees,
and it is not particularly fond OF pear tree
leaves, but peas and other vegetables it adj
dressed itself 10 with extreme vigor.
At last accounts the caterpiliars were
migrating TO adjoining ranches, IN search,
evidently. OF other vineyards. Their move
ment from Bowman's place is to the
north. The same pests have broken out in
one or two other places not Tar from Mr..
bowman's, but, so lar as known, have not
caused SO much damage as at his place.
They have also appeared in two or three
places in the vicinity of the American river,
between Sacramento and Folsom, as to be
very destructive. In one instance fifteen
Cinnamon were put into the field to fight
them. and were successful in tine work of
protection and determination.
NO remedy for the pest, except that of
Staying II, has thus far been prescribed.
The worm is clumsy yet vigorous mover.
In Its destructive period it appears on the
field OF battle all the way from one to four
inches in length. When fully grown it ac-
qulres about the latter size, and then creeps
beneath leaves or other rubbish, or buries
itself IN cell in the earth, where it under
goes its transformations. The length of
known, but it is not thought that there is
any danger of another crop in the same To-
eaiity this season.
Mr.. Cooke says that where the caterpil-
lars lnfestlng trees and vines are large, and
not moving IN colonies. they can be most
readily destroyed by cutting in two with
scissors. K. B. Blowers, of Woodland, sue
ceeded some years ago in prevent
ing the spread of this pest on
his premises by killing the moths
that came into his flower garden in
the evening. his men capturing as many as
several hundred in single night. The
plan OF digging deep furrow OF ditch in
dry earth around vineyard or orchard is
recommended and pracriced by some, as
few OF the caterpiilars succeed in crossing
1t, and their march is thus largely stopped
1t is to be hoped that the ravages and
presence of this vine destroyer will not be
extended, but it is well for fruit-growers to

itself felt in Napa. Chalk's vineyard, near st.
Helena, IS all but destroyed. The vineyards of
Beringer. Herrick, T. PARROT. Smith and others
have suffered severely, aud others in a less de-
gree. The remedy is 10 spray the vines and the
invaders with al arsenic wash consisting of one
pound of Paris green to $50 gallons of water,

At Senator Stanford vineyard relief was OBJ
tanned by digging trenches in the path of the
marching army. The trenches are easily made
by pillow and shovel. The invaders cannot
climb very well. The losses thus far are quite
heavy, and vineyardists in the upper Napa val
ley are all in readiness to fight the worms.
Evidently this is the same worm or cater
pillar here illustrated and described, and
not the army wo'm, as stated. There is a
vast difference between the army-worm
and the caterpillar of the white-lined
sphinx. They are both of the order Lepi-
dopterd but the sphinx is of the Sphingidg
family, while the army-worm belongs to

calculated to evolve thought and stimulate
discussion, and all influences that quicken
thought, conserve reflection and stimulate
research and study are educating. As to
the doctrines of Mr. George being in vio-
lation of the laws, that is absurd. Of
course every proposed change of law is
opposed to that in force. If we are to
make no propositions not in accord with
the laws as they stand, there can be no re-
form of any matter. A United States
Senator has offered a resolution to sbandon
the veto system-that, too, is in viola
ton of the laws, as the Vice-Chancellor
would look at it, but it is not for that rea-
son forbidden consideration by Congress.
Mr.. Georges ideas about land are, in our
opinion, unworthy of enlightened ap-
prevail chimerical, and not in line with
wise systems of government for all that
they are educating, just as is every propo-
sition that induces men to consider the
state and improvement of society. In fact,
as we estimate them, The weakness and
impracticability of Georges doctrines will
be best shown and defeated by their wide
publication.
The Court, we submit, had no sound
reason for declaring against Georges land
theories because they are not incorporated
into the laws of the country. If it had
found that they are unsound, indecent, cor
rupting to the mind and likely to dsbase
the citizen morally, it would have had
footing for its decision. But Of course it
could not base the ruling upon such
grounds. We are certain that had
Hutchings, by his will, have given $4,000
| to George directly, and without an ex-
PLANTATION of the purpose, he would have
received it, and could have spent every
dollar of it either in printing the ideas he
has right to express, or in travelling
about lecturing upon his hollow land
theories; or he could have pumped the
sum down his own and the Threats of his
friends, through the agency of Bohe-
milan banquet, safe from any interference by
the law. But because he exercises the
right of DR.. Dix, and Heber Newton, and
Colonel Ingersoll, and Herbert Spencer,
and Richard Proctor, to preach what they
believe, within the limits of order and
observance of the law, a bequest to aid him
in promulgating his doctrines is held in
valid. 1t is an absurd decision and de-
serves to be printed and bound, cheek by
jowl, with one of Georges land lectures

The question of constructing great
waterway from the Mississippi to Lake
Michigan has been revived by the expires
sion of opinion by General J. H. Wilson,
the accomplished engineer, that it is FEAST
bic and is commercial necessity A
quarter Of century ago he made the first
study of the matter He still adheres to
his original views. He insists that it is a
natural need and should therefore be
opened by the Federal Government. Orig
inally General Wilson contended that it
was military necessity, but with the
construction of railways since then, that
necessity has certainly vanished, unless he
maintains that it is highly essential that
IN time of need war ships be foated from
river to lake-a need of which we can
scarcely form any idea, so vague and
shadowy does it seem. Commercially con-
sidered there remains force in the claim
for the canal, but railways have largely
tapped that claim, and certainly have re-
duced it from the rank of necessity to that
Of much lower level. 1t would be a
profitable thing for Chicago to be able to
send her ships to the gulf by an inland
p 'ssage, and to drain the city Mississippi
ward instead of lakeward. Why should
not Chicago, then, foot the bill? Even
though the Federal Government controls
the Desplaines and the Illinois rivers, with
which the canal must connect, it does not
follow that it should extend them to the
lake.

THE PATENT FUND SURPLUS.

Practical Electricity, in its April issue,
commenting upon the unwillingness of
capital to put money into inventions until
the validity of the letters patent has been
established in the United States Courts,
says:
1t is asserted that since its establishment, the
Patent Office has taken frem the American peo-
pie, mostly poor inventors, nearly three millions
of dollars over and above the cost of its mainte-
nance. AT the present writing very large sur
plus stands to the credit of the Office. Had
these surplus funds been properly appropriated
for the pr lection and maintenance Of ali good
and valid patents issued by our Government
the American people would have benefited
thereby. Under such protection fewer monop-
ollei would have come into existence; more in
veRtors, deserving success and competence
would have found both the temptation to
enact fraud would have been much less.
The exact figures of receipts and ex-
penditures of the Patent Office are, up to
June 80, 1887:

If we suppose fair reserve for the
Patent Office fund to be half million, we
then nave nearly S2,7O0O0O of surplus in
the patent fund. 1t is not large amount
it is true, but aggregates are the sums of
small items. The excess of receipts over
expenditures, according to this showing, is
steady, and there appears in the reports of
the Department of the Interior no claim
that this is necessary, or any reason why
the receipts may not be reduced, with re-
sultant benefit to the entire class of in
ventors; or, if the fees are to be continued
at the present schedule of figures, there
appears to be no reason why the excess
should not be applied to the needs of the
Government in other directions, thus af-
fecting the general surplus, which the
Democracy is SO solicitous shall be reduced.
