Report of Dr. 0. P. Chubb, Orange. 



The precarious condition of our orange orchards, owing to the ravages of 

 the red scale, and of our Muscat vineyards, owing to the foreign vine dis- 

 ease, renders this present report less reliable than it would have been two 

 or three years ago, but we propose to replace the vineyards, and to some 

 extent the orange orchards, with the best varieties of canning and drying 

 fruits, supplemented with small fruits for home markets. If the gas pro- 

 cess proves effective against the scale pest, we shall stick to orange growing 

 for greatest profit.
