IRRIGATION IN INYo COUNTY.


What IL Being Done in tho Least Known
Child of Southern California
This is comparatively new field for
irrigation. Owens valley was settled
over 80 years ago. but water from the
mountain streams is so abuandant and
so easy to take out upon the land that
no extensive canals were completed un-
Ill within the past three or four years
Within that time canals having an ag-
gregate capacity OF 10000 inches have
been finished and are now delivering
water. These canals take water from
Owens river. AT the beginning of July
OF this year 100000 inches of water
flowed in the river below the
point where any canal now exists.
The river has an annual flood season,
like the Mississippi, the Nile or the
Ganges; the water begins to rise about
the fret week in May and the flood is at
height about the middle OF June. This
gives the greatest volume of water at the
season when it is needed for irrigation.
Owens valley contains at least 100000
acres OF cultiveable land. The soil is sam
dy loan. Every kind of vegetable grown
in the temperate zone fourishes there.
An average yield of potatoes is seven

Spring Lamb for Eastern arkets-A

Spring Lamb for Eastern arkets-A
Noo Model Market.
In Southern California lambs begin to
come in as early as November, and the
little fellows are as fat as butter by
Christmas on the lush grasses of the
eemi-tropics. Naturally there is quite q
trade between here and the east for
these winter lambs; and with Los An
geles green peas the eastern gourmets
want Los Angeles lamb. Simon Maier,
of l49 North Spring street, does big
business all winter long and into the
spring in supplying the eastern markets
with this delicacy. Mr.. Maier has done
business here for long time, and has
an excellent reputation for perfectly
upright dealing. He has the market
here at his control, and can fill orders in
a day.
Besides lamb the section ships east
large amount Of fat mutton on the hoof
Last spring 73 carloads were sent away
all orders in this line, too.
In addition to this business Mr.. Maier
conducts the largest Wholesale and re-
tail fresh, salt and smoked meat busi-
ness and also the largest sausage fac
tory in Southern California. His cold
storage rooms are fitted up with all
modern appliances and conveniences,
and are ths largest OF the kind south of
San Francisco.
Central Market, by which name his
place of business is known, is model

tons per acre. In exceptional cases as
high as thirty-six tons have been gath
cred from two acres. The quality is not
surpassed anywhere. About Independ-
ence, which is the county seat, and near
the middle of the valley, the yield of
wheat the present season was from
thirty-three bushels to forty bushels per
acre. A piece of land containing five
acres was cleared of sage brush and
seeded with alfalfa in September, two
years ago. The tract was irrigated from
one of the new canals near Independ-
ence.
The following summer from that tract
of five acres 60 tons of cured hay was
the yield. The ground was cut three
times and averaged four tons of cured
hay at each cutting. The canal from
which this tract is irrigated supplies
water to $4,000 acres, and the land is
nearly of uniform character. All kinds
of deciduous fruits are grown in periec-
tion in Owens valley. Cherries, april
cots, nectarines, peaches and almonds
are of excellent quality. Tbs apples
and pears are not surpassed
anywhere. The winters are just
cold enough to best suit deciduous
fruit trees. Figs and English walnuts
do well, and this is proof enough that
the winters are not severe. Prunes
seem to be especially. we'll suited to the
soil and climate, and never fail to
yield heavy crops the climate Is just
perfect for curing this valuable fruit.
Grape vines make very rapid growth
and the grapes are exceptionally fine
they are very rich in sugar and make
the choicest table grapes. They alec
make fine raisins. The canals already
constructed have capacity far beyond
the needs OF the present population,
consequently land and abundance Of
water can be bought there at prices far
below current prices for land anywhere
else on the Pacificc coast. The south bound

Owens valley is Indian Wells valley I;
this contains 100000 acres of excellent
land. A company is organized in Lon

There is not an enterprise in Los An

Zobelein have the satisfaction of seeing
their output amount to $500 barrels of

In distributing this water over the

only is water supplied to every acre, but
in a definite quantity. The allowance
for irrigating purposes varies in differ
ent parts OF the country, from fortieth
to tenth OF an inch, miners measure,
per acre, the latter amount being an
average supply. The commercial value
of an inch of water is from $500 to
s2500. The Hemet lands are supplied
with an eighth of an inch to the acre,
which is ample. The purchaser of acre
property receives certificate OF water,
together with his land. He is entitled
during the entire irrigating season to
a continuous flow. This he can use
daily, or can take at longer intervals
proportionately larger quantities, as he
may elect.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For the week ending Tuesday, May
23d. 1898.

By Willis Moore, Forecast Official, Mil.
The weather conditions have been
all that could be desired for the plant
ing of corn and potatoes, and for the
growth of all crops. With warmth
and sunshine in abundance, wheat,
oats, rye, barley and meadows have
made excellent growth, the sod has
been put in fine working condition,
and corn and potato planting is being
rapidly pushed in all countise, with
every prospect of a large acreage.
Polk, Green and Marquette counties
report an unusual quantity of potatoes
planted. In some of the extreme
southern counties the work is done,
and it will probably be completed in
the north part of the state this week.
Early sown grains are coming up in
good shape with no damage from rot!
ting. Pastures are rich, and the
heavy growth of meadows, as result
from excessive moisture, seems to in
sure heavy hay crop.
Fruit trees are in bloom. The light
froStS have done no harm, and the
blueberries in the west central counties
promise a large yield. However, kill
ing occurred in the Dakotas, Minneso-
ia, Nebraska and Kansas.
Water is being drawn from the
cranberry boys, and the exposed tips
have started growth. A large crop is
in prospect as the vines have seldom
been in finer condition.
Tobacco plants have been doing
well, but required watering until the
showers of yesterday and last night.
Forest fires have done great damage
to many of the lumber towns in the
north central counties, and caused a
loss Of ten to fifteen lives.
On the whole the crop outlook is ex-
cellent, and there are few states where
all the conditions this year are sc
promising.
