OLIVE CULTURE
A Marysville Man Who is Going Extensively Into the Business.
Marysville, May 28th.--There has been a great growth of interest in olive culture of late in this part of the State, particularly in the foothills. A number of orchards have been set out this year. S. J. Segerstrand of Smartsville left to-day for Europe, where he will make a study of olive culture in all its branches, visiting France, Spain and Italy with that object. Before he returns he will organize in his native country (Sweden) a colony for the purpose of olive-growing in this section. He will not limit the membership to Sweden, but proposes to make it a cosmopolitan colony.
There are numerous old olive trees in good bearing in this neighborhood, and in the foothills they show that the soil and climate are well adapted to the industry.
Judge Sullivan of San Francisco delivered an address to-day at the picnic of the Young Men's Institute in Nelson's Point Grove on the Feather river, in Sutter county. This is the present terminus of the extension of the Northern California Railroad, in course of construction towards Knight's Landing.
