One of the largest and finest vineyards in the State is on this rancho; and the wine it produces has a large sale in the State.

The most of Gerke's land is devoted to wheat raising; eighteen hundred tons of wheat were raised on it last year, and about twenty-two hundred tons this year.

It is mostly tilled by tenants.

The land is worth from twenty to fifty dollars per acre.

The owner would sell the whole rancho, but it is not known whether he would sell in small tracts or not.
