FltOAf THE GOLDEN STATE.
Whittier, Cal., July 11, '04.
Editor "The People,''
Dear Sir: Noting' your re
quest for letters, I wiil write you
a few lines in regard to this
country. California is made up
of mountains and valleys. The
soil in this section is sandy along
the rivers, and out from the
river, it i$ a heavy black clay
soil, very rich, that will grow
anything if you will give it water
aud work.
We raise a great variety of
grain here, and It grows to per
fection, wheat, oats, corn, and
barley. . Also all the different
kinds of vegetables grow here
the year round. We raise two
and three crops a year without
any fertilizer, the land being
rich enough without it.
The land must be well irriga
ted, and as soon as it is dry
enough, we plow aud plant.
Some kind of crops must be ir
rigated two or three times. Our
winters are one long, green sea
son. Everything looks lovely
here during the winter months,
all the beautiful flowers being
in bloom, and the grasses green.
The winter is the season in
which all the different kinds of
vegetables are raised for the
eastern markets. Alfalfa is rais*
ed vtjry extensivaly for hay, ^pd
it is cut six or seven times a Jjear.
It makes line hay, an<l will keep
stock fat withovt grain. .?
Labor is high, $1 f>0 to $2.50
per day being paid for ordinary
labor, they furnishing their own
board and lodging. Carpenters
are paid f>0 to &J1.50 per day
Living is higher here than in
the East, but it is in proportion
to other things. , We get better
prices for our produce than you
do, and other things are more
equal.
This is a beautiful valley, with
its fine orange and lemon proves,
and splendid cnglish walnut
ranches. The walnuts pay the
best as they are less expensive
to raise, and are not perishable
fruit, and always command j^oou
prices. We irrigate them once,
plow once, and harrow two or
three times, so you see that it.
requires little work to raise
tliem.
Whan they arc ready to gath
er, the hulls open, anil the nuts
drop out on tlie ground. They
are then picked l>.v the sack at
LIT) cts. per sack holding ;">() to 00
pounds. They are then washed
by machinery, put in trays and
uried in t he sun about t hree days.
They are then passed through a
grades to take out the small
nuts, sulphured and sacked, and
are ready for sale. The price is
based on the September market,
and the nuts are gathered in
October and November.
Many owners of walnut ranches
clear annually as much as $-00.
per acre. The price per acre is
$1,000 and within a short time
the same land will bring $2,000
easily.
We have anothei source jf in
come that I had almost forgot
ten to mention, and that is, the
oil wells. They bring lots of
money to the men who own them.
Oil was discovered here only a
few years ago, and now the hills
are dotted all over with derricks.
Whittier lies on a gentle slope
011 the hill skle below the oil
wells and faces South and West.
Sixteen years ago it was a wild
mustard patch, and now we have
fenr thousand inhabitants, and a
car line ruuning to Los Angelos.
Now, Mr. Editor, come out and
pay us a visit. We will bo glad
to sliow you over this beautiful
valley which flows with milk
and honey, a valley of sunshine,
fruit and flowers: (Jod's beauti
ful lanil.
Wishinir you every success
with tlie paper, t remain,
Very respectfully.
