POwAY, CAL, Aug. 10th, 1897
Col. II. E. PARKER,
DEAR SIR.-l want to say through the
OPINION, which | receive every week, a
little of where we are and what doing.
Poway is a spall valley of about three
thousand and five hundred acres, situat-
ed twenty-four miles from market, San
Diego, and fourteen miles to EscondidO,
the nearest railroad station. The products
are wheat, barley and alfalfa for hay.
For fruit, oranges, lemons, apricOts,
peaches, nectarines, figs, olives, prunes
and apples and many kinds of plumS.
For nuts, almonds, English walnuts and
peanuts; also raisin grapes of all kinds.
All the drying establishments were at
work when we first came here. ApricOts
are the first to ripen, and next is peaches,
which | have been at work on the past
three weeks, and it will be three weeks
more before all the later kinds will ripen.
The fist that were in the market. eight
ounce peaches, brought four cents per
pound. For the last week, the Foster
peach, which is the best, of uniform size,
which will weigh eight ounces each, pick
ed one day and carried to market the
next, twenty-four miles, bring the sum
of one cent per poand. We have to pack
them very carefully in boxes of about
sixty pounds each. would like to place
several boxes in Bradford for our friends
to sample. Most every one in the valley
are very busy drying instead bf selling at
the above price. .-

held August 30th to September 18th, inclu-
sive, and an exhibition it will be. There
will be as usual departments devoted to
art, agriculture. science and manufacture
while the ladies will have space in which
to exhibit their skill and ability. There
will be lively competition in the live stock
department., for high-bred animals in
large numbers are already entered. 1t
has always been the policy of the assOcia-
tion to create lively interest and rivalry
in the poultry department, and cOntlnu-
ing i'll this line, premiums amounting to
very large sum have been arranged for.
In the department devoted to the dairy
will be found everything pertaining to the
manufacture and handling of milk prod
ucts, while the products themselves Will
be arranged to show them Oft to the pest
advantage. Horticulture is, of course,
the branch i'll which most visitors are IN
terested, and their expectations Will not
be dampened, for more general or larger
exhibit has never been brought together
in this section. The improved methods
and implements used in farming come
under the industrial department and it is
useless 10 say that every known ctHtriv-
ance beneficial to the farmer will be on
show. The allotment of prizes and space
to the children. the ladies and fine arts IS
large and much interest has been made
manifest. For the amusement OF the
throngs a varied program has been gotten
