THE LAND OF CHEAP WHEAT GROWING.
California owes the introduction of agri-
culture to the Mission Fathers and the
first attempt at wheat growing was made
by them. Nor had they any idea of the
great importance to which their small be-
ginning in cereal culture would grow in a
few years, or how vast change would be
made in the methods Of production. The
first wheat grown in California was in 1774,
the work of cultivating being done by Ind
ians, who had been reduced by the padres;
and the soldiers under their command, to
condition of servitude. Their methods
were of the crudest, the soil was either
broken up with rude mattocks or turned
over with wooden plow made of the fork
of tree. one branch of which was cut
short and pointed to serve as the share and
the other left long for the beam; this was
dragged over the. soil by oxen fastened to it
with rawhide thongs. The harvesting was
done by hand and the grain trodden on by
horses, and winnowed in the wind.
After the discovery of gold, and the high
prices of food products. some small attempts
were made at growing wheat on the river
bottoms. These paid SO largely that the
wheat area was extended, the dry plains of
the Sacra mento and San Joaquin valleys
were gradually converted into vast wheat
fields, the virgin soil yielded enormously
and California wheat was shipped over the
world, bringing very large returns, and
enormous fortunes were made. Wheat
ranches thousands of acres in extent be-
came the rule and improved and cheaper
methods Of growing wheat became neces-
sary until to-day the grain is grown at
minimum cost, the work on the large
ranches being done almost wholly by ma
chinery with the least possible human
labor. The old Mexican methods in few
years were abandoned, and the wooden
plow replaced with the modern gang plow,
and often we see four or five sets of gang
plows. drawn by IL to 20 horses or operated
by traction engines, with seeder and harrow
attached, so that the whole process Of plow
ing, sowing and seeding is done at one op-
Grafton. In many cases these plows are
run night and day and from 70 to 80 acres
are plowed and seeded every "a hours by
the labor of six to ten men.
The harvest is gathered in the same cheap
and wholesale manner. A ponderous ma
chine operated by team of 12t 20 horses
or drawn by a trac ton engine cuts a swath
affect in width. .threshes and sacks the grain
in one operation. The sacks of wheat are
thrown on the ground and left to be gath
cred up by teams later on. Th : climate of
California greatly facilitates the operation.
The almost absolute certainty that no rain
WILL fall upon the ripened wheat enables the
grower to leave it in the field until it suits
his convenience to harvest it.-American
Agriculturist

Victoria on the throne Of England
were not Englishmen, but Germans,
Kings of Hanoyeras well as Of Eng
land, and often in their affections
and interests Hanover stoad first and
England second. That fact made them
unpopular III England, and The lever-
sal OF it made Victoria popular and be-
loved. For, urder the Salic law,
woman could not ascend he throne Of
Hanover, and so when she became
Queen Of England the HanovtrialI
crown had to go to another. The Two
realms were thus separated, and, for
the first lime in many year, he Eng
lish people felt that their sovereign
was entirely their own. If her ances-
try be analyzed it will he found that
Victoria is not English, but more Ger
man than anything else. As nearly as
it can be figured, she is only one-sixty-
fourth English. Bu:, while ''blood is
thicker than water" spirit is more po-
tent than blood, and in spirit the
Queen is a true English woman.
Bornon English soil, within the cid
brick walls of The Palace Of Kensink-
ton, size was English from her earliest
breath. aud English in all her associa-
tions Of her childhood and educ. ton.
She was born on May "a, 1919. and

sponsors being the Emperor of Russia
