may assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
acres Of this rich land when the trees are in bearing will
yield handsome and assured income.

TEHAMA COUNTY
The Red Bluff : News'' speaks Of Its
Advantages.

Advantages.
Up to five years ago the general popu-
iation Of Tehama County would have
laughed at the individual who would de-
clare that the very best fruit lands in
California were located within the bound
airy lines of Tehana County. They
would have laughed longer and louder if
they had been told that oranges and other
citrus fruits would grow successfully, as
well as magnOlias and other tropical
plants blossom III the greatest beauty.
rms false impression Of the cOuuty's
productiveness has kept the prices Of
lands away below the prices asked for
poorer lands by our nelghbors south OF
us, which impression has been strength
ened by the advice Of many sheep-raisers
and whcat-grOWers who deprecated the
quality Of the land for fruit-growing be-
cause they knew nothing whatever Of
fruit.
The past five years have demonstrated
that Iehama County should not be back
ward in declaring that Its natural adVan-
tages for fruit and general farming are
second to those of 10 other county in the
State. In fact, Intelligence properly APP
Piled to fruit culture has proven that
there are but few trees which cannot be
successfully cultivated, and these few
cannot be grown elsewhere in California.
Our greatest advantage, perhaps, is that
trees can he successfully grown without
irrigation, although it IS useless to say
that water does not aid growth except on
bottom lands. 1t has been shown beyond
question that with nearly ali the lands in
the county thorough cultivation produces
results equal to irrigated lands in other
places, While the fruits do not possess
that sappy, watery consistency peculiar
to irrigated fruits, which former advan-
tage is material one in shipping.
Tehama County invites settlers to land
cheaper than can be had elsewhere in the
state, with all the general advantages
other places boast of. Those who come
to California for lands should not miss
paying us a visit.

CAPAY VALLEY ORCHARDS.
B. F. DAWSON Wins the One Hundred
Dollar Prize.
Many of the Orchards are Reported
to be in Almost Perfect
Condition.
From the Woodland Daily Democrat.

From the Woodland Daily Democrat
We have not the exact data at hand. but
from statistics published in the form Of a
table in the Democrat several weeks ago,
we are confident that a larger number of
fruit trees were planted in Capay Valley
last season than in any other fruit belt in
California. This increase in acreage is, in
measure, due to further investment of
orchardists of long experience, who first
planted few acres as an experiment, and
are so well satisfied with the result that
they have shown their confidence in the
future of the valley by planting more.
Last summer the Capay Valley Land
Company caused TO be inserted in the
papers OF Tolo County an advertisement
offering a premium Of 500 for the best
cultivated orchard in Capay Valley. BY
the terms Of the offer an orchardist of
State reputation was TO be the Judge, and
the premium was TO be awarded this sea-
son.
Leonard Coates of Napa County was
selected for this delicate duty. He made
thorough and personal examination of
every orchard and has submitted the fol-
lowing report Of the result:

A SPLENDID SHOWING.

Since Sacramento is the most maligned
city in the State. because it is the Capt.
tai city and therefore deemed a fair target
for the shafts of envy, ignorance, malice
and observation-disclosures, it is not merely
Boosting for its people to point to the evil
dences of their faith in the city, and their
loyalty to it.
One of these is just at hand. The local
taxes thus early in the season have been
paid up by the people to within S5,0l9 of
the whole sum. That is, the city tax roll
calls for 1881, l59 90, and it has been col
lected to date, so that there remains but
S5,Ol9 delinquent and subject to penalty.
Can any city in California make as good
a showing, or one even nearly approach
ing to it?
