Solano County is about thirty milos north of San Francisco, the great
!)ay s>'stfin forminj? its southern boundary. The Sacramento River
formfl the I'jtstfrn line, and these Ijodies of water have created a great
acreai;^, oriscinally swamp land, but with reclamation, capable of pro-
ducinir i)rodigious crops. Thero are several delta islands within the
county lines. On the west, the county extends into the foothills of the
Coast Ranire. where several warm, sheltered valleys, with rich soil,
are the home* of the choicest deciduous fruits. In addition, there are
sections of i>lain and roUinir land, where cereals are produced and
live stock raised in larcre numbers. The county has 526,000 acres of
land, and is small in area, as compared with other counties, but is
a leader in material products. In the number and production of
bearinp: pear trees, it s'nnds first in the state, in plums and prunes and
in apricots, second: in cherri*»s. third: and in peaches, sixth. There is
also a considerable acreajre in grapes. The Federal census of 1910 places
the annual fruit and nut production at $1,495,000 and of all crops at
$3,r)r)l),0()0.
There arc several mineral springs with commercial outputs, and one
producing? quicksilver mine.
^fanufaeturing and industries are a source of great wealth. At
Vallejo, the largest city, is th(» ^lare Island Navy Yard. The Sperry
flour mills, just completed, are the m(^st modern in the state. Benicia
has the Cnited States Arsenal, a great iron working plant; two ship
yard.s. several tanneries, and other industries. Dixon is the center of a
splendid dairy section, and Vacaville and Suisun are the shipping points
for green and dried fruits. Kio Vista is the main shipping point on
the Sacramento Kiver in the county, and is a prosperous community.
Transi)ortation faeilitii^s are excellent. The Southern Pacific main
line traverses the county, with two branch lines. There are three
electric lines in the different sections of the county, while freight
and passenuer service by water is accessible to nearly every portion
of the county (^iVeetively regulatinjr charges for freight, and affording
splendid accommodations for passengers.
The school facilities arc in keeping with the wealth and prosperity
of the county. There are six fully equipped high schools, and a com-
plete elementary system, with S(!veral private schools of equal merit.
Every inducement for liome s(»ekers is offered by the county. The
warmth of summer is tempered by sea breezes coming from the bays,
and sev(»re frosts are very s(ddom known.
The comity is rich and i)r()sper()us, with every reason to expect a
steady and ra[)id irrowth. Th(» population in 1910 was 27,559 and is
now estimated at about -1(),0()0.

Sonoma County is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, for
more than 65 miles that boundary conforming to the irregularities of
the shore, while on San Pablo Bay it has a frontage of 20 miles.
The great central valley extends the entire length of the county from
south to north. The area on which rough stone interferes with farming
operations is small. Out of the area of land in the county at least
200,000 acres are valley land, the richest soil known, being a black
loam; 200,000 acres are rolling, or higher tableland, of exceedingly
rich, alluvial, brown soil, with considerable sand. This is the best fruit
land. At least 100,000 acres of mountain land are adapted to grazing,
and about 80,000 acres are covered with redwood timber of a magnificent
growth.
Sonoma Valley is about 20 miles in length, with an average width of.
8 miles. It lies parallel to Petaluma Valley, from which it is separated
by a range of mountains.
The streams and watercourses of Sonoma County are numerous.
Russian River, the largest stream, enters on the north, flows in a south-
easterly direction for 20 miles, turns at Fitch Mountain and finds its
way to the largest depression in the Santa Rosa Basin, from which it
breaks through a gap in the Coast Range to the Pacific Ocean. This
river gathers the waters from three-fifths of the area of the county.
Owing to the abundant rainfall little or no irrigation is required, as is
the case in some of the valley counties.
Sonoma County has a large acreage in wine grapes, most of which are
made into dry wines. Besides wine, fruit, dairy and stock industries,
the county produces more poultry and eggs than any other part of the
state. The county also produces a large quantity of prunes. In 1917
the acreage was estimated at 6,000, and the crop at 14,000 tons. The
lowest average price paid was 4^ cents, and the highest 7 cents a pound.
Olive culture is increasing. Sonoma and Sacramento counties are the
largest producers of hops in the state. In 1912 Sonoma produced
35,712 bales of hops, in 1914, 24,284 bales, and in 1915, 29,790 bales.
Cattle are raised on a large scale, principally for dairying purposes.

Stanislaus County lies in the northern end of the great San Joaquin
Valley, 114 miles from San Francisco and 30 miles from tidewater on
the San Joaquin River. It is bounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountaiiui
on the east and the Coast Range Mountains on the west. The county
is drained by three large rivers, the Stanislaus, the Tuolumne, and the
San Joaquin. The soil ranges from a light sandy loam in the southerly
part to a heavy sandy loam in the central part and adobe and redlands
in the east. The county is crossed by four lines of railways, while the
Sierra Road connects Oakdale and vicinity with the mountain counties
to the north.
The county has a large acreage in barley, oats and wheat, and is the
largest producer of butter in the state, the total quantity in 1916 being
8,935,964 pounds. Fruits also grow well, especially peaches, apricots,
and figs. • '

Almost in the center of the far-famed valley of the Sacramento is
located the county of Sutter, the larger portion of which lies between
the Sacramento and Feather rivers directly at their confluence. The
remaining portion of the county lies east of the Feather River, just
south of Bear River. Surrounded by rivers on almost every side, it is
evident that the soil of the county is largely river made, the wash of
a thousand years from the Sierra Nevada and Coast Range mountains,
and is deep and fertile, the equal of any in the whole state of California.
The western portion of Sutter County in particular is being rapidly
developed. The large land holdings are being cut up and sold out in
small tracts. Meridian Ls a prosperous little town, located in the western
portion of the county, as well as Live Oak, in the northern part, and
Nicolaus in the southern division.
The county has a large acreage in beans, much of the land in the
Sutter basin being devoted to this crop.
The dairy industry'' is thriving, and there are a number of large
creameries.
Sutter County is the home of the Thompson seedless grape, which is
being grown so extensively in various valleys of the state. Most other
fruits are grown with great success, especially cling peaches, the produc-
tion having increased from about 9,700 tons in 1915, to 17,000 tons in
1917.
