CHAPTER X.
TEHAMA AND BUTTE, AND THE UPPER COUNTRY.
General Bidwell, of Butte County, raised last year on his own estate, besides a large quantity of fruit, seventy-five thousand bushels of wheat.

Dr.Glenn, of Colusa County, raised and sent to market from his own estate, two hundred thousand bushels.

Mr.Warner, of Solano County, produced nine thousand gallons of cider from his own orchards.

A sheep-grazer in Placer County loaded ten railroad cars with wool, the clip of his own sheep.

For many weeks after harvest you may see sacks of wheat stacked along the railroad and the river for miles, awaiting shipment; for the farmers have no rain to fear, and the grain crop is thrashed in the field, bagged, and stacked along the road, without even a tarpaulin to cover it.
In 1855, California exported about four hundred and twenty tons of wheat; in 1873, the export was but little less than six hundred thousand tons.
