Early and Late Flowing.

The following results of experiments
in plowing are taken from Bulletin
No. So Of the Experiment Station at
the State Agricultural College. The
tables used omit some of the details
given in the original:
This experiment was designed to test
the value Of early plowing for wheat.
Four pIsts were laid outsid by side. Two
Of each were plowed July 20, just after
the previous crop of oats had been re-
moved. The remaining two plats were
plowed September 3. Several heavy
rains occurred between these dates
which caused a settling Of the plowed
ground. The ground was hard and

plowing was done, and several work

Experiments With Wheat.

The following summary of results is
taken from Bulletin No. So Of the Ex-
pertinent Station at the State Agricul.
tural College. This work is In charge
of Professor GeorgeSon, who Is profes-
sor of agriculture and superintendent
Of the college farm:
1. The acre which has been in wheat
for sixteen years past is beginning to
show signs of exhaustion.
2. Early plOwing for wheat, which
will allow the soil to settle before 1t is
seeded, shows a decided advantage
over ploWing just before seeding.
3. The plsts which were subsOiled six
weeks before seeding produced better
yield han the plats which were ploWed
in the ordinary way at the same time;
but the plsts which were subsoiled q
year before seeding, and which had in
the meantime been cropped with peas,
gave no increase over the ploWed plats.
4. In an inquiry as to the best time
to seed wheat, In which a series of
plsts was seeded every seventh day
from September 13 to November /, the
seeding Of September 20 gave the best
yield, 1852 bushels per acre, and sue
cessiVe seedlings showed constantly
diminishing yield, till the seeding of
November 1, which yielded but 500
bushels per acre Of very inferior grain.
Experience and experiments agree on
about the middle of September as the
best time to seed wheat In this region.
5. Experiments with various amounts
of seed per acre indicate that about
one and a half bushels per acre give
the best returns for this region.
6. AS to methods of seeding tried,
the shoe press drill gave this year bet
ter yields than seeding with the hoe
drill, lister drill, or broadcssting. But
it must not be overlooked that whether
this OF that method will give the best
yield will depend largely on the char.
scter Of the season.
Z. There was no marked difference
in yield of the grades, light, common
and heavy seed wheat the present year,
though the average of the experiments
for four years Is in favor Of heavy seed.
8. Pasturing the wheat did not affect
the yield injurlously the present year.
Former experiments have given the
best yields when the wheat was not
psstured.
8. Wheat land manured with twenty
tons barn.yard manure per acre yearly
has given decidedly smaller yields than

No ROYAL Road to Wealth.

The farmer who wants to get rich
by farming lnIlst expect to work hard
for number of years. Brains are q
good thing to have, and are not to be
despised, but the successful farmer
finds it necessary to use all the brains
and about all the bodily strength he
has in order to succeed. The writer
never knew but one man who worked
too hard; he said in his last sickness:
"Some people blamed me for working
too hard, but 1 took pleasure in it,"
No person should work so hard during
the day that he can't sleep at night
and feel rested in the morning. What
many farmers need is not less land, but
more enthusiasm in their business and
more thorough cultivation of their

LIVED HIGH FOR Two MONTHS
How a Young Man Got Something fol-
Nothing.
A. 81. Stein Charged With Fraud
and Forgery - But
Where is He?

Early in July man of good address
giving the name Of A. H. Stein. came tc
this city. He met a fellow mechanic
named Sweet, who is employed at the
railroad company's shops, to whom he
stated that he had secured employment
at the shops and asked to be recon-
mended to some good boarding house.
Accordingly he was sent by Sweet to
the Palace restaurant, where he made a
similar statement as to his employ
ment. Every day he came to his meals
as regular as clockwork, like an honest
mechanic, begrimed by apparently
the dust of toll. Being a new en-
Iloye, he stated to the proprietor that,
according to the rules Of the company,
he would not receive his first pay for
two months.
Yesterday being payday with the
railroad employees, his creditor anxious
ly awaited his coming, but he did not
put in an appearance at meal-time.
His absence was explained when Sweet
strolled into the restaurant and in
formed Mr. Schad, the proprietor, that
his late boarder had Tit OUT leaving
behind him indisputable evidence of his
Iascality.
1t was found that he had gone to
A. Casseli a shoe dealer, and produc-
ing an order alleged to have been writ
ten and signed by Sweet, procured a
fine pair Of shoes. When Sweet called
later to settle with Casseli his own ac-
count he was startled by the presenta-
ton of an order bearing his signature.
Sweet denied having given the order,
and said that on the day it was dated
he was in Nevada
Investigation at the railroad shops
showed that no person of the name of
a. H. Stein was on the payroll there,
and then the victims of the bogus me-
chanic began to realize that they had
been buncoed
Two warrants have been issued for
STEMS arrest, one at the instigation of
Sweet, charging him with forgery, and
the other by Schad, charging him with
obtaining goods by false pretenses.
Stein is supposed to have gone south,
and the officers thereabouts have been
notified to be on the lookout for him.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
But Little Damage Done by the
Recent RainstOrm.

Ihe following synopsis of the weather
and crop conditions during the week
ending Monday, August 31st, is issued
by the State Agricultural Society, in
conjunction with the United States Gil
mate and Crop Service, James A. Bar
wick, Section Director.
The average temperature for the
week ending Monday, August 31st, was
as follows for the Weather Bureau sta
tions named: Eureka 60, Fresno 7S
Los Angeles "A. Red Bluff IS, Sacra-
mento 20, San Francisco 60 and San
Diego ~ degrees
AS compared with the normal tenn
perature there was an excess Of heat
Of degrees at Eureka, 2 at Los An
geles and 3 degrees at San Diego while
heat deficiencies were shown at all
other stations as follows: Fresno and
San Francisco l degree, Sacramento
degrees and Red Bluff reported normal
conditions to have prevailed, as far as
temperature was concerned.
The rainfall was: Eureka 60 of an
inch, Fresno .15 Of an inch, Los Angeles
a sprinkle, Red Bluff 80 of an inch
Sacramento 20 of an inch, San Fran
cisco and San Diego 10 Of an inch AS
compared with the normal precipitation
there were excesses reported from all
stations.
The rain Of the 29th and Both injured
fruit that was exposed on the drying
trays and has damaged hay that was
in the field, and also some grain that
remained unthreshed.
Raisin grapes were not injured, be-
cause picking had not commenced in a
general way. and there were none on
the trays. There was, then, no damage
to that crop.
The precipitation Of 20 of an inch at
Sacramento was the greatest ever be-
fore known to have fallen during the
month of August in record of forty
seven years. In fact, there were but
four Augusts out Of forty-seven that
gave rain enough to measure.
There was a severe thunder and light
ming storm twelve miles from Fresno
where five mules were killed by light
ming and the driver of harvester was
stunned by the shock. The extraor-
binary and very unusual phenomena of
heavy rains in August has not injured
any Of the growing or maturing crops
Of the State.
The highest and lowest temperatures
were 10S at Picacho, San Diego County,
and 40 at Hollister San Benito County.

The ordinance was so amended and
adopted, and the section of the former
ordinance on the same subject was re-
pealed.
The Superintendent Of Streets recon-
mended that Fifteenth street be swept
on the same terms as the other streets,
and it was so ordered.
Max Golnix presented a claim for
$40 for damages from sewage, which
was rejected.
request was made for an electric
light at Fifteenth and K streets.
w. Turton asked permission to con-
meet his premises at X street, between
Sixth and Seventh, directly with the
sewer but the President said the ordi-

moved that the Clerk be instructed to
have an ordinance drawn up repeating
the present ordinance, as the city is
ready, he stated, to take care of the
sewage, and Mr.. Turton should not be
compelled to construct vault.
The matter was then dropped.
The City Surveyor reported that the
City Improvement Company was the
lowest bidder on the Improvement Of
Nineteenth street. He had figured the
cost of the street, and it would come to
81 30 a front foot and 81 20 for mac
adam per cubic yard
The contract was awarded to the City

ing.
L. T. Hatfield addressed the board
relative to the deepening of the Thir-
ty-first-street canal, and asking on be-
half of the East Park Association that
action be taken in that direction be-
fore the rains set in and flood the park
again. He claimed that the present
situation was the result of the citys
action in filling up Burns Slough. The
water cannot be reached by the pump
ing plant. He asked that the board re-
fer the matter to the Corporation Coun-
sci, to report on the legal aspect Of the
matter
The matter was so referred
L. A. w. Shock, for the Sacramento
Electric, Gas and Power Company, said
that part Of the board attended the test
OF the Alameda fender on it's cars, and
ne would like to have a full attendance
Of the board to see a thorough test
made
Wachhorst said the test was perfectly
We're present.
Devine said the fender was the best
he had ever seen, but he wanted the
Corporation Counsers opinion as to the
liability of the city for damage by acci-
dents in case the Trustees approved
the fender.
1t was decided that the board would
attend test of the fender ON Wednes-
day afternoon at o'clock.
Mr.. Shock called attention to the
wording of the advertisement for bids
on the pumping plant, which only al
lowed for a bid for electric power on
the smallest pump. He suggested that
the specifications be changed so as to
prepare for a change on the other
pumps to electric power If it is found
that it will be a saving.
In answer to a question by Devine
he said that electricity would make a
saving Of 33 to 80 per cent. over steam
to the city.
Kent moved that the matter be
referred to the Sewer Committee, to
be reported on next Monday night.
Devine moved as an amendment that
the City Surveyor prepare specifications
for constructing a foundation for mo-
tors, to be included in the bids.
The amendment was carried.
Frank McKeever, representing a San
Francisco firm, stated that it could not
prepare a bid on the specifications by
next Monday night, and asked for a
weeks further time.
The President said it could not be
granted without advertising over again.
