The agricultural outlook of Los
Angeles county never presented
more auspicious signs than are now
everywhere discernable. A greatly
increased acreage of grain over any
previous year has been planted. The
blades are shooting up with energy
and vigor. The ground is rich
with moisture, and the spring opens
with fructifying warmth hetoken-
ing a luxuriant growth. We
may safely count on a wheat crop
equal to FIVE or six million centals,
and a barley yield but slightly below
that. The whole country is rich in
grain, and nothing but an unlocked
for calamity can deny us an unprece-
dentedly volumineus harvest. The
hay crop, too, very important item
in the earning of our agriculture will be
very bountiful. 1t will also be,
from appearances, very excellent
season for fruit. Many Of the decidu-
GUS trees are now putting forth theil
blossoms. In a few weeks, with ouI
present quickening weather, they will
present a gorgeous sight. That the
year will be prosperous one to oul
grain and fruit farmers everything in
dicates. What We need, in order to
realize all that should be got from our
fruits, are increased facilities for dry
ing and pressing the great quantity Of
fruit we shall raise this year. A large
portion raised last year was lost by
our horticulturists for the lack oi
these facilities. A considerable per
centage Of the fruit was permitted to
60 to waste. There is profitable
price for all we can raise, if we only
put it into marketable and imperish-
able shape. Here is a chance for
capitalists to make money, and at the
same time to enable the fruit growers
to realize the maxium Of returns from
their industry.

The New York Senate investiga-
Non into the methods and purposes Of
the sugar trust discloses the fact that
the trust must be controlled. It ap-
pears from the testimony Of Have
meyer and Mollar, sugar refiners, Of
New York, that the trust controls
fully IS per cent. of the sugar in
dustry Of the United States, which
lsaves but Is per cent. to be bought up
q crushed out. Mr.. Mollar testified
that his refinery was recently sold for
$50, 900, but was rated in the
trust at $750,0O0. In this
manner the aggregate properties Of
the trust. valued apart at SIS, 900, 900,
nre valued under the deal, or combi-
nation, at $50,OO0,O 900. In this watery
uoft Of a way and on this fictitious
valuation the trust proposesto to declare
dividends equal to or 6 per cent in
terest q year, and to squeeze $40, ,0OO,-
600 or so year out of the people over
and above q fair profit. Mr.. Mollar
said that it was evident that the OBJ
ject Of the trust was to kill competi-
ton and that since the trust was
formed there had been no competi-
tion in New York and no considerable
market for raw sugar.
The existence of the sugar trust,
and the formation of similar
trusts, are things which men
ace trade and encroach upon
the very foundations of liberty.
How to meet this insidious and dan
eerous assault upon the well-being of
bociety is the enigma which is now
exercising the best thought Of the
country. It's not possible that the
people will submit to this new engine
of extortion and oppression without
vigorous protest. The immunity
which the Standard Oil Trust
has 10 long enjoyed cannot
be taken as an assurance that
the ramifcation Of this species
Of combination will be tamely SUBJ
mitted to. Sugar is now the object OF
Trust control. That is extending the
principle into a very dangerous field.
The conspiracy will not stop at sugar.
Five and six per cent. interest upon
capital stock three times watered, is
too alluring bait to escape the rapac-
ity Of greedy men controlling
other articles of necessity. We may
soon look for sweeping Flour Trust.
The Armours have already made con-
siderable progress in controlling the
pork and lard products Of the country.
The chief necessaries Of life once
brought under the control Of
trust combinations, the pinch
will be felt by the body
~ the people. We may rest assured
the masses will not quietly suffer
when the evil is sensibly felt in their
stomachs. It is the Office of legisla-
ton to prevent abuses that will inev-
ifably lead to universal distress and
universal discomfort. Trusts such as
these now complained of should be
treated as conspiracies to extort.
Congress is perfectly competent to
deal with them. They can be un-
mistaksbly defined and prohibited
undsr such penalties as will prevent
their formation. The investigation
now going on should result in legisla-
don that will protect the people from
this new and grievous wrong.
