YOLO COUNTY. 



Report of J. R. WolfsJcill, Winters. 



The most profitable fruits grown here are apricots (Royal), peaches, 

 prunes, figs, olives, pears, almonds, grapes (table and raisin). Small 

 fruits are only grown to a limited extent; they do remarkably well, how- 

 ever. Pomegranates, oranges, and English walnuts are also grown quite 

 extensively. 



YUBA COUNTY. 



Report of B. Sanford, Smartsville. 



This locality, near Smartsville, is well adapted to the raising of, canning, 

 and drying fruits. A deep clay loam is found on the hilltops and on the 

 sides. We use irrigation generally for fruit and grain. Early apples do 

 best on account of the codlin moth. The fruits most largely grown are 

 apples, peaches, apricots, figs, grapes, and some oranges. 



RECOMMENDED FOR PLANTING. 



The fruits (from my observation) that I would recommend for planting 

 throughout this section, are about as follows: Royal apricots, Petite prune, 

 Yellow Cling and Freestone peaches, nectarines for drying, figs, oranges, 

 and raisin grapes. 



NOTE. 



The above reports represent forty-seven counties, but not complete, some 

 of the largest fruit-growing counties being represented by only one or two 

 reports. It had been expected that every fruit-growing section would be 

 properly represented, but as the reports were not received in time, action 

 could no longer be delayed in the issuance of the report; therefore, what 

 may hereafter be received will be added to the present number in a subse- 

 quent issue of a similar publication.
