Writes From California

In renewing his subscription t1
the Morgan County Democrat, re-
Gently, Mr.. Herman Harper OF Han
ford, Calf, wrote as follows:
/ look forward each Monday tC
| the arrival of the Democrat, to learn
the latest personal, school and sport
news, Of my Morgan county friends,
relatives and acquaintances.
Agricultural conditions in general
are the best in California, that ]
have seen in ten years Prices and
production are both on a very high
level, due to partly, drouth condi-
tions in the middle west, and an in
crease in consumer purchasing pow
|er. The navel oranges are being
picked and shipped east for the hol-
iday trade. They are of good quail
ity and color this year. Next to the
citrus fruits in money income to
this large San Joaquin valley, which
is so miles wide and over 200 miles
long, is dairying. Large herds are
the rule, running from 20 cows,
to over 100, with some herds Of 800
cows or more They are mostly pure
bred Holstein, to furnish milk, but
ter, and cheese, to the large met
ropolitan centers of Los Angeles
and San Francisco, to the south and
north respectively. Alfalfa hay is
the main food. The farmers are
harvesting their sixth and last cut
ting this month.
The average production for lint
cotton is over 500 pounds per acre,
plus over half ton of cotton seed
per acre. Due to the high prices for
California Acala cotton, about twelve
cents per pound will be asked. Much
more cotton will be planted next
year due to this.
The cows are never stabbed, only
for milking, even in the winter
time. Cows may even be pastured
on wild or permanent pasture the
year round. Since this valley is pro-
ducing more cotton of late years.
cottonseed products are economical
dairy concentrates, plus barley and
other mill products. Considerable
dried beef pulp is also fed them.
Prices this year are very favorable
to the California dairyman, since
not enough dairy products are pro-
duced to furnish the demand in this
state. This year, the rains have
come early and the wild feed is high
now for winter pasture.
Lambing has already started in
the large bands of sheep on the
west side of the valley. The snrin-
cipal breed is Rambouillet; the
ewes are crossed with Hampshire
and Suffolk rams for early marked
lambs. Here again, no shelter is
required during the winter time.
One thousand ewes per sheep herder
is the average at lambing time. when
more keep is needed The California
milk lambs are the first to reach
the market in the spring, and US
ually command premium price.
After the lambs are marketed, the
ewes are moved up into the noun
tains for summer grazing.
We enjoyed our visit to Ohio very
much this last summer No place
on our 1000 mile trip did we enjoy
more, and see more beautiful seen
cry in, than the drive down the
Muskingum valley.
