Progressive California.

Alexander Craw, quarantine officer of the State Board of Horticulture. summarizes the progressive spirit of California in the following manner:
 To California belongs the credit of first suggesting the introduction and propagation of beneficial insects for the purpose of benefiting her fruit growers and farmers
 To California belongs the honor and credit of having furnished the follow ing countries with insects that were of great value to them: Hawaii Cape Colony, Egypt Italy, Portugal. Ceylon, Jamaica, Florida and several islands of the Pacific.
 To California belongs the invention of many of the best sprays and washes now in use.
 To California belongs the credit of inventing and perfecting Immigration of orchard trees.
 To California belongs the credit of inventing many of the most app1 owed appliances for fighting pests Tn the orchards.
 To California belongs the credit of improved methods of packing and transportation.
 To California belongs the credit of protective legislation for the benefit of our great industry, so beneficial in its operations that it has become the model for other States of the Union and other nations of the world.
 And. above all, and the cause of all of our advancement along these lines. California must be credited with the most intelligent progressive and advanced horticulturists in the world

acre is still below the average of Southern California, while with the larger ones it is as cheap as water was from the canal in it's early stages of selling.
 Over one hundred and twenty-five thousand acres of government land have already been taken up under the Imperial Canal, but as the water did not reach any of the land until June last, and as it takes some months to build the laterals for distribution, not much could be done in proportion to the area. But the work is now pro- gressing so fast that thousands of acres will be in cultivation this winter
 The Charm of the Desert.
 To many the name desert is for bidding, but the majority of those who live on it learn to like it. Not alone because man can learn to like anything that pays we'll, but be- cause there is an attraction in the almost endless procession of clear, bright days, in the freedom from fric- tion with ice, snow, slush and mud that goes far toward compensating for the loneliness of even the most remote sections. It is a common remark that you cannot live on eli mate. But it is equally true that good climate goes good way. It helps out amazingly. The desert at the beginning of the new century is quite a different article from that of fifty years ago, and especially in California. AS soon as the conditions of successful settlements are in the right shape, the rest fol lows, and there is no old-time pioneer ing. Many actually prefer the desert, not only because there is no rain to interfere with their cultivation, but .ecause it is also the most healthy of all climates. The extreme dryness of the air makes it the very best of all places for those troubled with any affection of the throat or lungs, and, while it will not finally cure catarrh, most forms of it are kept dormant by the freedom from cold and wet Settlement comes so fast wherever the canal pours free volume of water that there is no more monotony on the desert than in any other flat section. The whole is soon lost in a wealth of shrubbery. Until then the land scape, bounded by distant mountains, that, in the dry warm air, play a thousand tricks of color every hour of the morning and evening, and sleep in golden haze at noon, with the mirage that toys with the fancy better than anything in the landscape of the rainy lands, all furnish such novelties of scenery that you can scarcely believe you are in what from the car window seemed so worthless and repulsive.

of rain. It is just as essential for the best results to keep water off when you do not want it as 1t is to put it on when you do. The clouds are too capricious for direct results. You want them leagues away at the head of some big river and in mountains where rain never fails. Then you have sunshine on tap as well as water The man who will farm on rain Is a fool if he can't get combination that he can control
 Such a combination is exactly what the Colorado River Canal offers, and that is why settlers from all parts of Southern California are flocking there This makes many followers among the new arrivals from the East, and in short time there will be hun dred square miles of green where last year there was nothing but the gray glare of the desert. Among those that knew, it was not necessary to prove the fertility of this section. But if it were, enough has already been done this year to show the mar velous growth that can be made in a short time.
 Artesian Wells.
 Next to a great river like the Col orado artesian wells that flow from the drainage of great mountains under ground in the channels of ages past make the most reliable supply Such is the supply at Indio on the Colorado Desert, and this point is really the pioneer in this respect. Three years ago the cultivation by water from wells fed by the drainage of the east ern slopes of the great mountains of San Bernardino and San Jacinto sur passed almost anything that can be seen inside the mountains. and over shadowed completely anything that can be done on the rainfall direct in any country. The six weeks of cool
