system in the cultivation of land in Cal.
ifornia is fast exhausting the land and
‘continued we will soon have hundreds

cott id tobacco fields of the South.
Ibis weJl known that certain constituents of the ‘foil, are required for the
product of grain, and that after years
‘of cultivation in the sume .crop these
constituents are exhausted and the crops
‘ begin to decline, This has been the
State. Year after year, wheat, barley
and oats are planted, and already-year
~by year the yield is decreasing in proportion to the labor employed. In some
"‘Jooulities the yield has fallen off nearly
one half. Tenor fifteen years more of
such cultivation will render these lands
utterly worthless for _agricultaral pur: poses, unless there is a change in the
systemof working them.
In the most valuable farming regions
ofthe State cereals have been cultiva_ ted until the land is overrun with weeds
and mustard, In the San Jose valley
for miles the country is #0 densely cov~~ @red with mustard that the grain crops
have greatly decreased aad the expense
and troable of clearing it has greatly
increased.

requires thorough cultivation, and at
“s the same time will giye the land an op_ portunity to regain those qualities necessary.to the prodaction of grain.—
We are of opinion that no better product can be found than the sugar beet,
Tt possesses both these. advantages, and
in addition will be profitable. Mille
for the purpose of manufacturing raw
sugar might be built by joint stock

‘Cannot be secured for the purpose in
any othet way. By such a system of
agriculture, and the cultivation of grain
in alternate years, the grain yield per
gore will again be as large as in the
~ first years of California farming.
An Onznous Tax ABOLISHED.—By
lected upon. bullion is repealed.. Such
_@ tax never ought to have been levied.
There is no more reason in taxing the
gold yield than there is in taxing a per
cent. upon the valuation of the lead,
~~ © @opper or coal taken from the mines,
~ and the miners will be pleased to know
_ that Congress has done them an act of
justice by abolishing this onerous tax.
The tax it is true was small, being only
one fourth of one per cent., but the
principle involved is a bad one, and inThe amount of tax came directly out of
the producer, who is also compelled to
pay taxes upon his income. The tax
was deducted at the counter or at the
Mint from the value ofthe gold, and as
a large proportion of our miners are only making a liVing it came heavily up!
