The Apple Crop.

We regret being obliged to say it.,
but it is now as good as certain that
the crop of apples the present year will
be very small. Information from all
sources shows this to be true not only
of this state, but throughout New Eng
land, New York and Michigan-in short,
throughout the great apple-producing
sections of the whole country. In this
state, what promised earlier in the sea-
son to give something of a crop of

An Industry's Decline.

Connecticut is not the only state in
which sheep husbandry has suffered
great decline in consequence of the in
crease of night-prowling dogs. The
same dismal tale comes from many
parts of the country. Here, for eX-
ample, is one from Chester county,
Penn, which needs only change of
names to apply to many other sections
of that and other states. A correspon-
dent of the Ne,o York Weekly Tribune
writes:
"Twenty-fve years ago sheep-hus-
bandry was important in all this part
of Pennsylvania. Almost every large
farmer kept ewes for raising lambs and
wool, or fattened wethers for the
Philadelphia market. And he reck-
oned as not the least by far among his
sources of wealth the income from his
flock of fifty to 200 fat sheep. Nopleas-
anter stock ever graced farmers prem
ises in winter than well-kept and we'll
fed flock, with their inoffensive habits.
Sheltered in sheds at night and on in
clement days, but in fair weather al
lowed the range of the prospective corn
fields, they were ever source of profit.
The fine Southdowns, Lincolns, Oxford
downs and Merinos have disappeared
from our fields, and the sight of flock
of sheep is rare indeed. In its stead
flourishes, with all the vigor of nox-
ious weed, the dog industry. So stead
lily and persistently has it been cherished
and protected that it might almost be
said to control the state. Sporting
clubs owning twenty-five to fifty dogs
abound everywhere, both in town and
country, while almost every family
keeps from one to half dozen ours.
Candidates for highest state offices,
judges of the United States courts, mem
bers of legislatures, retired city men and
professionals ride at will over our fields.
In our courts it is EXTREMITY difficult to
get decision averse to the dog interest,
while our legislature is almost con-
trolled by the sporting clubs against
any enactments that will interfere with
their privilege to override the country"

acre tract in the Central Colony, near
Raisina, his present charming home.
In 1S77-7S he planted what is now
known as the Raisina vineyard He
was the first raisin-packer in Fresno.
When he arrived there he knew moth
ing whatever about the business, but,
approaching its Importance, he pro-
ceeded to study it, until he thoroughly
understood it in all its branches. His
first raisins were put up with great
care in two-pound boxes, and there
was a great demand for them. They
were sent all over the country, and at
once established an excellent reputa-
ton for Fresno raisins. Since 1885 he
has been an exhibitor of raisins, and
his pack has always been awarded pre-
miums. In 1885 he won the first
prize and the silver medal at the Me-
chanics' Institute fair in this city for
the finest and best packed raisins. In
1856 the Institute awarded him the
first prize and the gold medal. At the
request of the Fresno Board of Trade
he made an exhibit at the state fair at
Sacramento, in 1888, and was awarded
the first prize for an individual exhibit.
He was also awarded first honors last
year at the same fair. At the Fresno
district fair, in 1888, his raisins won the
first premium and gold medal, and he
also took the first prize for the best es-
say on raising and packing the fruit.
He won the same honors last year. In
1887 Mr.. White was elected supervisor
at a special election to fill vacancy,
and he was reelected in 1888. The
supervisors recently elected him presi-
dent. He was one of the orignators
of the thriving Belmont addition to
Fresno and the Belmont railroad.
Three years ago he purchased several
shares of the stock of the First Ma
tional Bank of Fresno, of which insti-
tuition he is now director. He is also
president of the Emigrant Ditch Com
pany. In all respects he is liberal
minded and progressive citizen.
