Fruit colonies, such as the english colony association, were founded on the eastern edge of the valley between 1886 and 1895, and were generally in lots of 10 to 20 acres with irrigation ditches dug to provide a reliable water supply. fruit lands in most of sacramento, yolo, and solano counties didn’t need irrigation because of the high water table. irrigation made cultivation of orchards, rice, and alfalfa possible in areas not bordered by the rivers and streams. why was fruit a good crop for the sacramento valley counties of sacramento, yolo, and solano?

a) because droughts kept killing the cattle and other livestock
b) because the water table was high enough not to need irrigation
c) because the people living in those counties did not want to raise cattle
d) because the owners of large ranches had to subdivide and sell their land

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
