W2HeEat IN CaLiFrornia.—The Overland Monthly for November has ‘an interesting article on the culture of wheat
in California, which contains some excellent points, one of which we have
often urged, Itis this: That on account of the ceasless and improvident
farming, and succession of crops, without rest to the lands, the yield is greatly decreasing, and the quality must al80 become inferior.. Of course the total
yield is increasing because every year
new lands are brought under cultiva—
tion, but thé avetage yield per acre on
the older farms is probably decreased
‘one half; and if the present system of
farming’ts ceditinned fortweity years
longer, the older California farms will
be-as worthless as the worn out tobacco
fields of the South. As process for
‘clearing the lands and restoring its
vigor norbetter or more profitable “crop
can be ited than the sugar beet.—
By altérhating with this crop the farmers will, in the‘cotirse’ of a few years
make as much from a single crop \of
wheat as they now do.from two years’
labor. The Overland Monthly says :—
“The history of wheat culture is one of
the most wonderfal chapters in the annals of Califot#ia: “In 1848, we raised
nothing ;-bdt abandoned all agriculture
in the search for gold. In 1858, we
barely supported our own population.
In 1868, we shall have a larger surplus
than any. other State in the Union.—
Wy. shall we dogk forward to? As
railroads ‘are extended, and new
° sections broughif into market, will our
supply @f toniiage become too small for
us? Already this ‘question Jooms up
before us,” Shall we build large clevators like those of Chicago, ‘at Panama
and Agpinveall, ad “ship’ oar geuin in
bulk by way of the Jethmus t@our sister Stites and to the.old world? Or
will, the’ shores of the Pacific swarm
wit “a population, in.time to. come, ample to consume our bountiful crops ?—
Perhaps Chita ‘may “depart from the
_ rigid customs of her ancestors,and some
Providence that has cast our/lives in a
land of such peace and plenty.
THE NAMELESS .— While the
Democratic papers and politicians, after
the October elections, were discussing
t and the substitufor thelatter, Andrew
Johnson Yroposed a plan which at least
_ has the merit of originality and which
shows conclusively tliat A. J. still hankafter a'decond term, The plan sugby Johnson; as given by the National, Intelligencer. was to withdraw
Seymour and Blair and ran a nameless
tickét, voting for Electors and then allowing them to name their President,
The merit of this was that though the
voters Were “going it blind,” it gave
Andy Johnson another chance. /Were
it not for the satisfaction of beating the
cite politician Seymour ands tender
Blair) it would have given great satis~
faction to beat Johnson Ander his nameless ticket. He’ cond be represented
nomore-eppropriately on a ticket than . :

_. TrEgS.—We beard. an interesting
a ee n yesterday, says the Grass
Valley Union, of Baurday, about tree
planting in California. It is known
that the hickory, the chesnut, the pecan, the chinguapin and the black walnut will flourish vigorouslyin the altitude of Grass Vajley. -All these trees
yield fine nuts, and are of great value
for timber. We are told that near Aubutn, in Placer county, the persimon
grows finely, and never fails to yield a
large crop of that luscious and nutritious fruit. On Montgomery’s ranch
in Penn Valley, in this county, the
black walnut has a considerable crop.
The only objection we lieard to planting these trees is that it takes too long
for them to amountto anything, and
that objection was made. in our hearing
to the first apple orchard ‘set oat in
Grass Valley. ‘
Tue National says Democracy has
learned that it won’t do to nominate a
statesman for President. Exactly—if
Seymour is a statesman the country
would be fortunate if it never had: one.
The trouble is that Democracy and the .
people disagree as to what constitutes a
statesman, and they don’t believe Seymour ever was one.
