Excerpt from Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the Twenty-Eighth Session of the Legislature of the State of California, 1889, Vol. 6 The display of agricultural products in the exhibition made by counties at the State Fair of 1887 surpassed, in point of excellence, any previous attempt heretofore made. The heavy heads of grain and plump apples from Tehama; the orange, lemon, and juicy peach from Yuba and Sutter; the mammoth grapes, apricots, and pears from Placer; the plump heads of grain and grand collection of fruit from Colusa; the varied and rich products of field, tree, and vine from Solano; the timber and fruit from Humboldt; the excellent display of mountain apples, pears, peaches, and plums from El Dorado and Nevada; while San Joaquin and Sacramento's display also embraced every known product of the soil; made pyramids of the necessaries and luxuries of life that would challenge more than any other one State in the Union to equal. The effect was most dazzling, and reflected much credit on the commit tees ih charge of the exhibits of the counties named. It is such displays that we desire to encourage. It is the results that are sure to follow that remunerates us for all our trouble and expense. In the report of the Committee of Awards on County Exhibits, to be found further on, a more extended review is made of the orchards, Vine yards, gardens, farms, forges, and mills, the products of which were so extensive, varied, and of such excellence, they felt impelled to make an extended report upon the exhibit of each county, and upon the county itself, the advantages offered the home-seeker, and the possibilities which it has for further development.
