Report of J. Z. Adams, Valley Center. 



This locality is comparatively newly settled by people of no means, hence 

 very little fruit is as yet grown to maturity. Still, I find in five years 

 experience, that our upland mesa or brush land, when thoroughly culti- 

 vated, is the best fruit land. It produces less than bottom or valley land, 

 still the yield is abundant and the quality unexcelled.
