The average yield OF wheat per acre for
more than third of century has been
thirty-tive and two-tifhs bushels, and the
average yield OF barley has been more than
iOriy-hve bushels to the acre In this con-
nection il is well 10 remember that the aY-
erage wheat yield for the whole United
States, including the virgin soils of Dakota,
Minnesota, Nebraska. Kansas, Washington.
Oregon and the heavily fertilizsd lands of
the older States, is less than twelve bushels
to the acre. There are other lands Of The
valley which have shown equally as re-
mHkable results as MIR. Browns.
THE RAIHFALL
OF this valley is somewhat greater than in
the large valleys IN the interior. Meteero-
logical notes have been taken through a
sufficiently long term of years to show that

acres in nectarines, 30 acres in almonds, 40
acres in cherries, and 100 acres in plums
and prupes. There are also several hun
bred orange, lemon, fig, and mulberry
trees. Mr.. Hatch has practiced planting
currant. gooseberry and other berry bushes
between his rows of young trees, but he
has abandoned that practice, believing that
it is too exhausting to the soil, and that il is
better to leave all the fertile elements in
the soil for the trees when they come to
bearing. The larger portion of this orchard
is in young trees. Only 800 acres of the
800 were in bearing last season, and more
than half of this acreage was not in full
bearing. Even under these conditions his
crop the past season amounted to
TWO THOUSAND TONS OF FRUIT
From his nursery, his small fruit, his al
monds (at from 12l to 10 cents per pound,
and his dried and green fruit his gross re-
ceipts reached nearly or quite 100000. The
coming season he will have 500 acres in full
or partial bearing, and his crop, with aver
age yields and prices, will bring him
$150,000.
IMMENSE ALMOND ORCHARD.
A marked feature of this orchard is the
large acreage in almond trees, which, as
before said, amounts to 30 acres Mr.
Hatch may be said to have created profita-
BILE almond production on this coast. In
the early part OF his orchard planting there
was an almond craze, produced by one or
two extraordinary yields, and he planted
| several hundred trees of the Languedoc
almond, which was then q great favorite
By the time they came to bearing It had
been found out all ever the State that they
were shy bearers, and far from profitable
crop, one year with another. In searching
for the proper variety he planted great
number of the pits of the bitter hard shell
almond, which has nothing to commend it
except that it is prolific and continuous
bearer. From these seedlings he produced
almost as many kinds of almonds as he
had trees, and among these various kinds
there were some OF the very choicest kinds
in fact,
! SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHERS KNOWN TO COM
MERGE.
From these he budded the other trees
and now his almonds are in demand all
over the State, and the - Hatch almonds =
| bring the highest prices in The Eastern
! markets.
| The distinguishing excellence of these
| almonds IS that they are prolific annual
| bearers, like the mother bitter almond tree
| from which they came. At the citrus fail
| held in Sacramento in 1856, Mr.. Hatch ex.
hibited nearly 200 varieties of almonds
( The past season he had forty acres of three.
| year-old trees from the dormant bud, and
| they yielded an average of twenty pounds
| of almonds each. which sold for Is cents
| per pound, or 50 TO the tree As thee
| are seventy trees to the acre, these three.
year-old trees produced $2l0 per acre. Il
/ Mr.. Hatch had accomplished nothing more
