CALIFORNIA SEED FAEMS.

"As the results of the recent cen sus become known from time to time," says the Chronicle, through the medium of the bulletins issued from Washington the great pre-cm' thence enjoyed by Caliiornians in many lines of production becomes more and more marked" In rate of grain, in population, iD proportionate wealth, in increase of production, California presents record that must astonish eastern readers and invite closer inves- tigation. A recent bulletin on seed farms, while not making for this state the showing we might wish, is, never theless of sufficient interest to be worthy of notice. Connecticut leads in the number and acreage of seed farms, California rating sixth, with total acreage of 6,4l5, with value of one tenth of tbe whole for the United States, or $1 ,S53,290. In an elaborate article upon this subject the Chronicle says: "some interesting information is extracted from the tables showing the average yields per acre of the different varieties of seed. While this state leads in the production of beans, the per acre product is not so high as some other states. The highest yield is to be found here, however, in celery, lettuce seed, some kinds of melons, onions, peas, radishes and tomatoes. In fact, in whatever line the effort is made our seed growers seem to easily outstrip those of all other parts of the country. While seed growing is comparatively an infant industry on this coast, still as has been shown, enough as been accomplished already to demonstrate that it may be made source of great wealth.
 Apropos of the above we desire to again call attention to the fact in nc particular is the climate or soil of Cali. fornia superior to ours. Whatever can be produced in California can be pro. duced equally well in Arizona, and we have the benefit of the experience gained by the Californans. Let the farmers of Arizona cease to depend upon outside productions for even their own support, but go to work as the Californians have done, and there will be no more talk of hard times. The farmers of Arizona ought not only to supply the home mar. ket, but ought to find demand for all the fruits and grain they can produce in western as we'll as eastern markets-for it is a recognized fact that the summer season in Arizona is much earlier than in California.

IN A LATE experiment radishes in- clined 40 degrees to electric light, and hemp grew eighteen inches more in the same time under that light than other hemp. A row of potatoes electrified produced 2l pecks, while another equal row without electricity produced only l2 pecks. The fertilizing element of manure, placed near the positive pole, is distributed throughout the circuit. The action of the electric current is to dissolve the organic principles existing in the soil more rapidly than where electricity is not used.

The discovery means that power can be produced from natural gas without steam, with out boiler, without water power, and without any assistance whatever.

A PROCLAMATION,

Gov. Mellettc Convenes South Dakota
Representatives. to Provide for an Ex.
hibit.
The executive Office has Just issued
the following official notice:
The legislature having failed to provide
for the representation Of South Dakota at
tho Worlds Columbian exposition at Chi
cago in 1893, a convention will be held al
Huron on May go, 1891, to devise ways and
means to secure the benefits to be derived
TO the state by proper exhibition OF her
resources TO the people OF the world upon
that occasion. No state in the union
offers such advantages to labor and capital,
in agriculture, mining and manufacturing,
and no like opportunity will occur for
century to establish the fact. City coun-
ellis and county commissioners are re-
quested to select delegates to this conven-
tlon upon the following basis OF representa-
ton:
One delegate from each Incorporated city
or village OF 500 or more voters, and one
additional delegate for each / 1000 voters or
major frsction thereof. One delegate from
each county, and one additional dele gate
for each 1000 voters OF major fraction
thereof outside OF Incorporated villages
or cities otherwise entitled to representa-
tion.
Authority should be given for the dele
gates In attendance to represent the entire
county or municipality, and such instruc-
tions and suggestions as may he thought
helpful.
This call is made at the request Of
many leading citizens throughout the
state, and it Is hoped the subject will re-
ceive the attention which its Importance
deserves.

Workings If the Lottery Law.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE lottery
law" said Judge Tynor, of the postoi1ice
department, "is now working smoothly.
There is a slight falling off in the letters
of inquiry concerning the law, and
take it the people have come to under
stand it thoroughly. There are more or
less prosecutions arising under the law
all the time. In number Of cases the
parties charged with violation of the law
are allowed to plead guilty and l sup
pose the courts impose nominal sen-
tences There Is certain class of peo-
pie who violate the law without any in
tention of doing so, and the cases against
that class of people are not pushed. /
have no knowledge Of the extent the lot
terry people have been hurt, but should
say the lottery business has fallen off
one-half. The lottery company uses the
express companies to large extent, but /
suppose great many letters are trans
mitted through the mails without being
detected"
"Are not the express companies liable
under the law for handling lottery bns-
ness?"
That's the question: suppose it will
be raised sooner or later. but the depart
ment will be in no hurry about it.
There are three or four express COM
palies that case might be made
against under the section of carrying
mail, but it will be only question Of
time when the issue will be made"

He Wants TO Keep the Women.
The spring conference OF the Mormon
church has closed. George Q. Cannon
spoke OF manifesto stopping polyga-
nous marriages for the future. He said
it was hard for him to accept it, but the
saints were in straits and something had
to be done. He finally saw the light, but
much against the grain, as he had al
ways held that the salvation of the soul
lay through polygamy. The question
now is, what can be done with the plural
wives. He had hoped the government
would say the husband could keep them,
and may be that would be done yet.
