THE FARMERS' PARADISE.

WATSONVILLE, C&1 , April 1, 187Z
California has certainly the finest
climate in the world At Santa Bar-
barhi left nay horse -and recie in. the
stage through. parts of Santa Barba-
ra, San Louis Obispo, and Monterey
Cotmties, ova the large raountaind
and through the long and magnifi-
valley of ttiel Salinas. The route is
so arranged that you. travel ail day
and almoat all night for the whole
journey, which laets nearly sixty
hours, I need not say that the per-
• petual rumble and tilting, of the
stage ceased to be tunusing before we
got through, and that I hailed the
sight of the railroad at Hollister
with great- joy. Nevertheless the
whole drive is through so fine a
country, and under such brilliant
skies, that the pleasure is ereater
than the inconvenience. The coun-
try, at this season, is clothed in the
• loveliest green which I have ever
seen. I do not remember ever to
have read d the peculiar tint which
the alfillerias the native grass of
this region,gives to the pastures.
It is a light green, with a tinge of
yellow, soft to the eye, rich beyond
anything I have ever seen in pas-
tures at home, and reflecting with a
peculiar loveliness, the light of the
Sun. How it comes about, Ido not
know, but th6 grazing lands of Cali-
fornia are almost universally free
from weeds. The wild mustard is
often found, and grows in some
places as high as a man'shead ; and
the luxuries of coffee, tea, :sugar, or
bright eaRcOes for the women, they
sold hides and horns to the Boston
traders. But they liad none of,the
energy and ingenuity of civilized
life. They merely litdd ; they plant-
ed no trees, they plowed few fields,
and a soil which ia 'the richestin
the world, and a climate in which
the orange, the vine, the almond,
and olive flourish, were useless to
them. But I do not wooder that
the old Californians tegret the
change.
- stiaA,CuLOITS CROPS.
Santa Barbara, San Luis, and
Monterey bort-lades are largely
held in Spanish grants. In 'San
Luis County we drove through an
estate of 18 leagues -a league of
land is 1,410, acres -and there are
many Of from four to eleven leagues.
It'is easy to see that these great
places injure and retard the prosper-
ity of this region, for while alnaost
the whole of it is sparsely inhabited,„
you no sooner come to Hollister
than you find a numerous and active
• population; excellent -farni houses,
and a thriviug, -busy country. Here
somegre ianchos were subdivided
into sioal tra,cts. Salinas City, San
Yuan, Hollister,. Watsonville, _ and
&arta Cruz ate the chief towns Of a
region which the .-SIDUthern Pacific
• Railroad has but recently brought to
public attention -a country of al-
most unexampled fertility. For-
tunately, to a censiclerable extent, it
is owned by small farmers, in -tracts
• of from 75 to 160 acres, and a more
prosperous population it would be
difficult to find. In the Pajaro and
adjoining vallets wheat has been
rown on the same fields for 20
g
years in succession, and these still
proctuce heavy eaops. ' The soil is a
deep sandy l'oam, with frequent
patches of stiff adobe. Irrigation, ie
not needed in most places, and at any
rate is practicedvonly in gardens and
• nurseries. Wheat? barley, and oats
are the principal props. I saw oat
straw .which, hung up and dry,
measured 81afeet, Was as big round
at the base as my iniddle-finger, and'
which yielded, on one piece of 14
acres, the enormous crop of 102i.
bushels' per acre. Duriug the last
season, which was a dry- year, one
wheat field yielded 90 bushels per
adre. Flax •seed, which is also
tgrown, yieldS from 12 to 15 sacks
per' are, of 100 pounds to the sack.
The average yield of wheat, over tbe
. whole tract, is, I was assured by men
in whom. 1 . have. confidence, and
• whose testimony I compared, be -1
tween 40and 50 bushels co the acre ;
the average yield of barley from 55
to 65 bushels, and of oats -osier 50
bushels- per acre; 60 bushels of
• wheat to the acre is so Jar from an
unconinion crop that a dozen farmers
were shown hie who had got that by
• measurement. • Of potatoes the
.average crop is from 200 to 300
bushels.
jUst now the 'valleys are full of
flowers, growing in masses'and of
brilliant tints of ceinason or bine, or

AN- INDIGNA4T PIONEER.
• , Through this ipiagnificent scenery
I rode, in. company with one of a
class of people not very numerous in
- California, at this day -a pioneer.
_
am not sure but he gasfe himself
some different title, for he was not
a, " ferty-niner," but one of the or-
• , iginal • settlers. He •came to the
State as a young man, in 1830, he
boasted- that, "humble as I look, I
drove the first stage through the
• valley ;" he was a little tipsy; and
very -talkative; he owned a large
ranch in the .northern part of the
State; he was a low-elass -Edgliah-
maa; 'he had- married a Mexican
woman, had 22 children, of whom
18 were alive; and, altogether, he
• was not a very pleasant creature;
• there was: something the • matter
with his ha. However, as he sat in-
• side, and I outside with the driver,
neither his conversation nor his
• pipe disturbed me; and I mention
him chiefly- to repeat to you his
• opinion that the country .hai, been.
.
(actin's'e to the clogs ever since 1849.
The adobe house he thought the
• most convenient ancl sufficient that
• man could build in this climate--
• and there he was not altogether
• wrong. "We had no crime before
the Anaericans came," he said ;
-4' there was not a prison in the
whole province. The finest build-
• ing which the Americans erected
was a jail ; and almost the- • first
• thing we knew of them, was by the
'taxes they laid on us, the thieves
• - -• stole our cattle and herses, and
• the prisons and -sheriffs they intro-
• abaced into the country." I sag-
• ' gested that the value of real estate
had improved since the Americans
• came •, but he had none to sell. In -
fact, if the Americans had not corne,
he could have had a ranch for each
of his 18 children, so that you will see
• why my suggestion made hitn indig-
nant.
AN ARCADIAN ExisTEN0g:
It, is probably true that the old
Californians were, so far as merely
material eXistenceis Concerned, per-
• haps the happiest people who ever
• lived upon the face of the earth.
They were few in number, in -a:
country of • inexhaustible natural
wealth the climate enabled them
to Ivo out, of doors all the year
round, and made exercise a p1e4aure,
for it is neither too Warin npi too
• cold at, any season. The 'cattle, -
hopes, and sheep fed on the richest
pastures, and were never cared fer,
as we care for our beasts in the East.
• If they needed more land; they cculd
-
get it for the asking, a.ncl a nlaaa
portionedhis daughters from the
public domain, and had •only to
take the trouble to select .what he
thought the best Poverty was un-
known, for he who was poor lived
on his rich relations; their:houses
were, always open td every one, and
at their tables sat uncles, cousins
and nieces, to the farthest degree
removed, welcome ' -with them to the
carrth con elite, the beans and tortil-
la, which made their sufficent meals.
Indians were their setvants, • and
cheaply did their drudgery. Illness
they •did not know, nor doctors'
bilis, and when the ranchero tray-
-eied he found a free hotel at every
house; and when his horse was tired,
he simply lassoed a fresh horse out
of the first pasture he dame to, turn. -
ed his own adrift, and went on.

s Burdett Coutts, the Banker
le accounts published from time
me of theremarkable charitable
disposition Of this estimable woman
are no doubt familiar to most of our
readers, and as anything pertaining
to her is of general interest, we
make room for the following, Troth
the pen of Herbert Radelyffe'and
previously published in the New
York : •
The banking-hthtse of Coutts &
Ce. ,ie the repository of all the old
-English aristocracy, who, from the
Qu eft clown, mostly bank there.
Th re are rich old dowagers, maiden
lades and . honorables, the rich old
En lish baronet with his estate in the
ricl pastures of Berkshire and Kent,
anc his -'shocting . box" up in the
north; the statesman, peer and
for igia ruler -they all intrust the•
horse Of Coats & Co. with their
ds. • The Qdeen has banked there
years, arid indeed the immense
lth of Miss Coutts and of the
k is totally due to the patronage
royalty bestowed upon her an -
tors -the founders of the bank.
r pass -book is a. most handsome
k, inlaid with gold, bearing the
al arms, in which all the entries
made in the baraThemest and
st otnamental of writing. • It is
Tong -sighted one. It was a good in-
vestment. The balance was soon
ilicreased, the loan returned, and the.
nobleman' commenced to tell the
story round at the Court of St.
James of the wonderful accoraraodaa
ting - West End' banker. Otheis
•Soon depoaited their funds in his
hands, and the story was so well
cireulated at the palace that the
King's curiosity was aroused, be in-
formed the banker's patron of his
desire to meet the banker.
Coutts went finally. He was in -
traduced to the King, and his quiet,
modest manners won the favor of
the- Court. His presence at the
Court created quite a sensation, for
it was soon _afterward reported that
the King had given • his private
finances into the keeping of Burdett
Coutts. The rest of the Court soon
followed the example of the King,
and thus was secured to the -house
the wealthy patronage of the aris-
tocracy of England.
Miss Burdett Coutts has, • as is
well known, the interests of the em-
ployees of the bank much at heart.
It is a hard matter to get into 'the
bank. ' Noblemen's sons now seek
positions in the establishment, and
some of the piirtners are noblenaen.
• College educated men are atone tak-
en as clerks, and then au examina-
• tion is gone through, which is con-
ducted with the same _strictness as
in the examination into the family,
reputation., and general recommenda-
tions of the applicant. For every
vacancy there are hundreds of ap-
plicants. But, when admitted, a
clerk has a fine position. Ile will
be told, on his being admitted, that
he must not wear a moustache, but
simple side whiskers ; and. in his -
dress, although riothing will be said
to him on the strbject, every modes-
ty of style will be expected of him.
This is done on account of the great
dislike the real aristocracy of Eng-
landla,ve for the gaudy, showy fop
of the middle classes, who so often,
in his vinolrance- self con.ceit,
.
apes the gentleman.
The clerks are all supaliecl with
dinner inside the establishment at
the Versonal expense ef • Miss
Burdett Coutts, and they owe this
good fortune (for the dinner "lunch,"
as it is called, is first-class), merely
to -accident.
It appears that on one occasion
Miss Burdett Coutts entered the
bank shortly after one o'clock, and
remarked to one of the partners that
the bank seemed very enipty.
"Where are all 036 gentlemen I" she
inquired.
"They have gone to lunch, and
they eenerally do so ever'y day at
0- ,
about this time," answered the
partner.
She expressed herself as not ap-
proving of "the gentlemen" (-mina

too, much as he would'like us to be-
lieve to the contrary, kept an ,ac-
cotint there, and the house, prior to
the fall- of the Empire, was con-
tinually making purchases of Eng-
liSh consols to his order. There is no
doubt thatNapoleon had, a short time
a o a considerable sum invested in
ese English securities, as have
st European potentates at the
esent time. • - •
Another great feature with the
-
use of Coutts & Co. is the' lar'ge

les, and other articles • of value

FARMS AND THEIR PRICES.
• There are several hop farms, some
of which, with skilful -management,
have paid well ; but I think the sea
lies too near for .successful hop cul-
ture.. _Wheat and barley groat here,
in fields, down to the very 'edge of
the sea; and no doubt the fog and
mOisture from the ocean help this
fertile country in dry seasons. - Last
year nearly the whole of California
suffered front drorith, but in the Pa-
jero .valley the crops were good.
• Farms are'sold- for from $30to $100
per acre,: within three miles of
Watsonville, in the valley; and the
hill lands, which seem to mo just as
as fertile and as available, being
• from $10 to $25. I was sorry to
hear that much, land is rented from
great holders, ,who get, for farms
whieh are fenced and furnishe.d with
rather poor houses, from $1 to $12
per acre per annum. • But where a
tenilt is thrifty he is soon able to
buy. I saw one man, an energetic
Danewho began here with $1,000;
bought on credit a farm for ',-t8,000;
and, in four Years was out of debt.
I ought to add that he had a very
thrifty, energetic -wife, without
whose help lie • could • not have
achieved this. • The peach does not
do well in -these valleys, but flour-
ishes on the hillsides; of apples, the
Jonathan and White Winter Pear -
main begin to bear- in two: veers
from the graft; others in 'three.
The ,plum yields an abundant crop
in four years' from budding, the vine
does not- do well; but the straw-
berry is here in its glory; and the
curculio does not trouble the plum.
Id th's and in San Jose valley, how-
ever, the slug begins, I lieu, to

LUMBER, AND MARKETS.
These valleys have two great ad-
vantages, besides their fertile soil
and fine 'climate. Lumber is., very
• ciieap, this being the famous red-
wood region; and the Southern
Pacific Railroad •gixes them ready
and quick access • to market, San
Francisco beingness than.'1 0 0 miles
• by rail from Watsonville. The red-
wood• makes an excellent lumber for
houses and fences, and in -fact for all
uses: It is sold in Watsonville for
from' $15 to $20 per thousand, at
retail, and the saw mills employ a
considerable force of men.

, The great success of Coutts' bank-

as you will see.. - Burdett Coutts,
mire of the founders,swas a modest
banker on the Strand, London, in

-The next morning Lord was
