| Notes | He come to San Diego in 1868. In conjunction with his former partner, Mr. Harbison, he started for San Diego, bringing with them one hundred and ten hives of honey bees, arriving here November 28, 1869. From that time up Mr. Clark continued to be largely interested in bee culture, and did much to create the reputation which San Diego honey enjoys in the markets of the world. In 1876 Mr. Clark began the culture of fruit and forest trees, and the making of raisins in the Cajon Valley. He owned at first two hundred andthirty acres, all under cultivation. Eighty acres were in trees and vines, and the balance in grain. He was the first man in San Diego to practically demonstrate the productiveness of the soil of El Cajon for raisin culture. He introduced a system of sub-irrigation in his vineyard, running a continuous concrete cement pipe, withiout lets at convenient distances, under ten acres. His was the only vineyard in the valley that was irrigated, and although it was not necessary the experiment was one that proved not unprofitable. | ||||
