SPRING LAPS OVER WINTER The Region of Perennial Mildness and Oc casional Showers , NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL MOISTURE Attractive I'eature ot Winter Llto lu Southern California .V Cllmutlo Jeivol lu H Setting ot Sea und Mountain. Los ANGELES , Cal. , Jan. S. [ Correspond ence of THE BEE. ] The farmers in this part of the country are jubilant over tne copious rains of the last two weeks , for the croakers had commenced their accustomed croak , prophesying drouth , failure of crops , finan cial ruin therefrom and all sorts of ills aud troubles. But , thanks to a kind Providence , their sound is uo longer heard in the land. The warm earth responds quickly to the soft caress of the falling drops and is already bringing forth its long begotten measures and weaving therefrom a rich mantle of green to replaoe the brown robe that has boon its covering these many months. There are those who have u very errone ous impression of the ' 'rainy season" here , thinking that term denotes a downpour of water lasting for several months with little cessation. The facts are , the rains come and go as in the springtime of the eastern states. It may rain for one , two or three days pernaps a week then clear off aud be as bright aud warm for a week or two as a Nebraska June , then another season of shower and so on throughout the winter months. But as tbo summer days approach the rams cease and the rubber coats and boots and um brellas are relegated to tbo nttlc , where they remain till the next winter. During the summer months we speak with assurance us to pic-uic parties or moonlight rules. A Fourth of July thunder shower Is a thing unknown. Not that thunder showers are not known , bul they seldom occur and are very light just enough to make eastern people borncbick for a regular old fashioned car bplitler , ono that make ! ; the windows rattle and the house tremble aud quiver. Irrigation. People often wonder why , If this country is irrigated , there should be any alarm felt over the absence of rain. The reasons arc two : First Only a small portion compara tively is irrigated , the ret > t of it depends upon the season's rain for its crops. The trrcnt valley of the San Joaquin , with the exception of Kmall aistrielE devoted to fruit raising und the raisin industry , is ouo great waving wheat field , milus upon miles it stretches away to the oist : and west t > ccm- incly unending , and north and * outh a full day's ride on an express train leaves you still surrounded with the crolden ct'.roal. Then there ure thousands of acres of barley and other thousands upon whose unturned saa the cattle nut their fill. Thu.- all dcjpoud upon the rainfall for their supply of water. Second As the rains descend upon the valleys the snows crown the mountain top , fill the dwi | > gorgcb aud canons , and lay up a goodly supply of moisture in cold storage , Irom whiuti to dr.iin at pleasure the follow ing iummer for Irrigating purposes. Wnter lor irrigating is obtained in several way& . Some people dip wells nnd use wind mills and plpo the water through their places. Some huvo arte&ian wells. Some own lands that have natural tpriugs or water ways upon them. Others form com panies , buy a good water right and Uumo or plpotuo water to tholr several tracts. Again others buy u canou , dam it across and thug creating a great reservoir , tup this nt pleasure. There are water rights in the rivers and creeks , and which sometimes lead to strife , angry aisputus aud even law suits. IlunUt fur Irrigation. A law passed &omo time ago , known as the ' 'Wright act , " enables a towubbip to vote bonds for developing water , ana where it is properly and honestly carried out it in a great benefit to the town. It sometime * happens , however , tint people owning small parcels of land vote bonai > to larctt prop * crty ovvnci'B , v/ho do uot need nor want nor ask for wator. To such it is a burctcn. Water however always enhances the value of laud here to such an extent tlmt mast men are usually clad to got u ut almost any price , for while with Uin season's rainfall one crop u. assured , with irrigation the same land may produce four crops per year. Thin of course does not apply to frufltt , unless I may except strawberrlua , UK * and black berries. It is uot an unusual thing to out seven crops of alinlfa from tha same land per y wr.
