Special Thanks to Butte County Historical Society for
allowing us to reprint this article from their periodical.
"The Diggins” 1997 Spring Edition.
Cohasset, Butte County Ca. The home of the red apple
with the butte county color and the Cohasset flavor.
The Cohasset Ridge, as the Cohasset country is usually called, is situated or begins about twelve miles northeast of Chico, the metropolis of Butte County and Northern Calif. The Ridge starts in with an elevation of about
1500ft. and reaches and elevation of about 3500ft. It's
length is about fourteen miles, and it's area from 40,000
to 50,000 acres. The lower part of the Ridge is covered
mostly with brush: then comes the oak belt, and, higher
up, pine, cedar fir, white fir and sugar pine. The greater
part of this area is suitable for horticultural and agricultural purposes.
The lower part of the Ridge is especially adapted to olives, grapes
and peaches. A Government wine
expert said of Cohasset Ridge, a few
years ago, when he spent a few days at
Cohasset, that in his travels over the
world he had never seen land that
could raise better grapes than the
lower part of Cohasset Ridge and that he
was sure that wine made from grapes raised
on this red, volcanic ash soil would be as
good, if not excel, any made anywhere.
All of the Ridge is especially suited for apple culture.
Plums, prunes, pears, cherries, peaches and other fruits
also do well here.
A great many sections boast of their volcanic ash
soil, but here we have the real article. The volcanic ash or
lava ash produces apples with a firmness and keeping
quality, as well as fine color, flavor and size, that equals
or excels any non-irrigated apples in the world.
All small fruits, such as blackberries, logan berries,
gooseberries, currants, strawberries, etc. grow successfully when irrigated; also all kinds of vegetables, melons
and pumpkins. Grain of several varieties has been grown
here with good results. Alfalfa is grown here with success
without irrigation.
There is considerable nursery stock grown here.
Keith & Dick have growing peaches, cherries, etc. W. M.
Shank has many thousand trees of several kinds growing
in his nursery; and several others are growing their own
trees and some to sell.
Apples grown in this district have been awarded first
medals at the S. Louis Exposition and at Watsonville in
1910 and 1911.

March 2012
This part of Butte County has an annual rain fall of
from 35 to 45 inches, thus insuring an abundance of
moisture for any kind of crops; this with the long summers of warm days and cool nights brings to perfection
the better varieties of apples that are grown here such as
Winter Bananas, Stamen's, Winesap, Baldwins, Jonathans, Newtowns, Spitzenberg, Delicious, and many other
varieties. The Bartlett and other pears grown here are
equal to any in the State.
Cohasset has a fine climate. The winters are sufficiently cold to help give crispness and flavor and beautiful
color to the fruit. The summers, while cloudless and brilliantly sunny from April to November, never become oppressively hot, owing to the elevation. The nights are cool
and invigorating; you can sleep the sleep of the just , and
wake up in the morning with the appetite of a hired man
ready to eat anything in sight.
There is no bonded land in Cohasset, all land being
owned by individuals, most of the landowners in Cohasset
own from 80 to 320 acres, and some few own more; and
they realize that they cannot properly work and
take care of such large tracts of land set to
fruit. and consequently many of the people
here have some of their land for sale. Raw
land in Cohasset at the present time can
be bought at from $15 to $35 per acre,
according to quality and location: improved land according to improvements and location.
Under present conditions, a person can, in some instances, cut enough wood from the land to pay for clearing
it, and sometimes more, as there is a good demand at a
fair price for mountain wood in Chico and other towns.
Our transportation facilities at present are not as good as
we want, but next season there will be an auto-turck line
between Cohasset and Chico to carry fruit down and supplies back; and prospects are good for a railroad in the
near future.
Cohasset has in operation three sawmills: one general merchandise store: post office, 18 miles from Chico,
with three-times-a-week service. Rural service between
Chico and Cohasset; also two schools , one pulbic hall, and
one church. We also have telephone connection with
Chico.
The famous Richardson's Mineral Springs are situated on Mud Creek, on the southeast slope of Cohasset
Ridge, Ten miles from Chico, where thousands of people
come at all seasons for recreation and health. There also
are other mineral springs near Cohasset, on Mud Creek
Sulphur Creek, and Deer Creek.

The story of reintroducing wild turkeys into California is a book in itself. The California Department of Fish and Game started transplanting
wild turkeys in 1908; the Mexican subspecies was the turkey of choice.
Unfortunately they wouldn’t survive in California. So, after many tries the
Rio Grande variety was introduced in 1959. There are two (some say
three) remaining varieties of wild turkey in our state, The Merriam’s wild
turkey and the Rio Grande turkey. The descendants of these turkeys are
what we find in most of California.
Let’s talk a little about each one of these:
The Rio Grande wild turkey is native to
the central plains states and got its common
name from the area in which it is found: the
southern Great Plains, western Texas and
northeastern Mexico.
The one we would most likely see around
here is the Rio. It ranges up to about 6,000
feet elevation. It is considered gregarious and
nomadic in some areas, having distinct summer and winter ranges. They may form large
flocks of several hundred birds during the
winter period (not here). It has been known
to travel distances of 10 or more miles from traditional winter roost sites
to its nesting areas.
The Merriam's wild turkey is found primarily in the higher mountains
of California. This turkey does not respond well in areas that have been
altered by timber harvesting, overgrazing or development. It may either
move away from the area or may not survive. It likes a higher amount of
rainfall than the Rio.
If you’re being bothered by them, and they can decimate a garden, turkeys do not like dogs and will stay away from them.
The Hummingbirds Are Here:
Feeder Facts 101
What happens when hummingbirds discover a large amount of food in
one place, such as a feeder? Within a very short time at a feeder, a small,
hungry hummingbird can solve its immediate requirements for food.
Hummingbirds must eat more than their weight in food each day, and
they fulfill this need by eating often. Because their survival depends critically on eating frequently more than any other animal, they continually
face the danger of starving.

Government & Cohasset Community News
Supervisor News
by Maureen Kirk,
Butte Co. Supervisor, District 3
This has been an incredibly mild
winter. In lieu of snow plowing, the
County road dept has been able to
attend to other maintenance projects.
At home our flowers and shrubs seem quite confused. Our Christmas cactus is just now in its full
glory. The crocus came up after the daffodils. We
have had deer in our yard recently. Normally they
stay away during the winter.
The Board of Supervisors has been busy with
various meetings and discussions. The BOS has decided to negotiate with Palmdale and Westside water
districts to lease excess “Table A” water. This is part
of the 27,500 acre feet allocated to the County for the
State Water Project (Oroville Dam) water. The
County uses about 2776 acre-feet. Beginning in
2008, DWR required the County to pay for the full
Table A allocation whether it was used in County or
not. In 2012, the cost was $1.4 million. Under the
negotiated terms, Butte County would retain ownership of the water. The cost of the lease would pay for
Butte Co’s payment plus about $50 per acre-foot.
This would amount to about $1.2 million for the
County. The leases would be in 10-year increments
and there are safeguards to protect the County.
On another water issue, the County has commented on the Delta Water Plan. The concern is that
the plan includes vague language and specific policies which could lead to having the northern Delta
watershed responsible for periodically increased
flows to the Delta. The Draft EIR does not address
analyzing any potential impacts to the northern
Delta watershed. This is of great concern for all
Northern California water users.
The County is also analyzing the beautiful Veterans Hall building at 900 Esplanade. The veterans
moved to another location on Rio Lindo because of
shortcomings in plumbing, electrical, heat and air. A
study was done by a local architect to estimate costs
for various uses. The first order is to do some gutter
work to keep the building dry and free from mold.
There will be town hall meeting to discuss potential
uses. Then the big question will be funding. We will
be on the lookout for grants to use this lovely building.
The General Plan is winding down. Land uses
have been determined. The implementation will follow. There are some questions on wind and solar
energy and where appropriate – not residential and
prime farm land.
Our son is home from Afghanistan and will be
stationed in Bloomington, Indiana – quite a change
and we are happy.

(Continued from page 2)
How much and how often do hummingbirds eat? Like us,
they eat meals. A meal to them is a relatively quick and
large intake of food, which is followed by time when no feeding occurs while the energy that has been consumed is used.
In a laboratory setting one Rubythroated Hummingbird ate five
meals an hour. For each meal he consumed a little less than 1/100 of a
fluid ounce.
The Impression from this frantic eating schedule seems to confirm that a
hummingbird might very quickly
starve to death if it does not eat in a
short time. How, then, do these birds manage to survive
overnight without eating? The energy stored by the end of a
day usually is just sufficient to survive overnight. What if a
hummingbird cannot feed enough, or if it is cold and more
energy must be used to keep warm overnight? Fortunately,
hummingbirds, like hibernating mammals, can lower their
body temperature overnight to conserve energy.
The normal sugar/water feeder mix is 1 part sugar to 4
parts of water, but the mix can be changed. The more sugar
in the mix, the less the birds will visit the feeder. Make sure
you boil the feeder mix for 1 minute. Not boiling it can make
the birds sick.

Every Woman Counts
Nov. 22 2011 was breast cancer awareness month.
My journey started at our 2nd women's gathering in Sept 2011.
The Women's Health Specialists in Chico offered information for a
new paid program called "Every Woman Counts". This program offers free services including mammograms, pap smears, family planning, etc. Also, there are some services for men. I had said at the
women's group that I would now be able to have a free mammogram. Turning 55, having no insurance and being self-employed. I
needed a program like this to
come along. It had been 10
years since my last one so I
was past due.
This is my experience getting
through the program steps. I
waited for a while after the
women's gathering to sign up
for the program. I saw on a
T.V. ad there was going to be a
free screening at North State
Imaging. on November 22nd.
So I waited to go in even
though I had felt a dull pain on
my right side and in my armpit
for a few months.
I walked in as the last one in line and filled out the paperwork.
One of the questions was about pain. I checked yes. There were
many women in the room waiting to be screened. I handed the paperwork back. She looked at me and said you have pain? Yes I said.
They took me back right away to see a nurse. I told the nurse that I
was self-employed and had no insurance. She sent me to The
Women's Health Specialists. They signed me up for the Every
Women Counts program and said a nurse from North State Imaging
will call me with a date to have a mammogram and an ultrasound
Imagining. They called the next week and gave me a date for one
month later. December 6, 2011. The Women's Health Specialists
representative called to check on the date I was given for my appointment with North State Imaging.
So I waited for a month and thought about my options if they
did find any problems. I just really needed more information. The
day came and the whole mammogram took about one and a half
hours. They took a few pictures. Then they said a doctor would look
at the images. All of the information is sent to a computer in another room. The tech. was nice. The procedure is uncomfortable but
tolerable.
Next, I waited for an ultrasound on my right side and armpit.
It took about a half hour. The nurse was nice . She said she did not
see anything to worry about everything looked normal. About a
week later I got a letter in the mail from North State Imaging saying everything looked normal on the mammogram. It was simple to
sign up with Women's Health Specialists (891-1911) for free health
care. I am good for other services for up to one year under this program.

Large game, such as deer and bear, are plentiful in the mountains.
Quail, squirrels and rabbits are found all over; and trout-fishing is excellent in nearby streams.
The view from almost any part of Cohasset is beautiful; the Sacramento Valley to the north, south and below you, dotted with towns, orchards and grain fields; the Marysville Buttes to the south; the Coast
Range forty miles to the west; and from the higher points can be seen
Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, and Cinder Cone to the north. At night, the
electric lights can be seen from a dozen or more towns up and down the
beautiful Sacramento Valley.
Bell & Company, one of the largest fruit dealers of Portland, Oregon,
Said of Cohasset apples: "They are O.K., and any man owning an orchard
that can produce such apples need not be afraid but that he can make
money."
Carl Abrams, of Salem, Oregon, assistant editor of the Pacific Farmer,
made a trip to Cohasset to see the apple orchards, and said that in all of
his observations along the route from Salem, Oregon, to this place he did
not see as fine, healthy apple trees as the trees in the Cohasset orchards.
This part of Butte County was settled in the early seventies by lumbermen and stockmen, and has remained a lumber country to the present
time; but enough fruit was planted twenty or thirty years ago to prove that
it is exactly adapted to fruit-growing, and we are beginning to awaken to
the fact that the rich mountain soil will produce as much fruit to the acre
as that of any part of the world.
Many of the people here have hogs running on the range that grow to
market size without being fed any grain, living on acorns, roots, berries,
etc.
Look us up at the Oroville Orange and Olive Exposition, Dec. 2-7
1912. We will be there with some Cohasset apples.

Cohasset 4-H Report
The Cohasset 4-H has been very busy these last few months.
The Children's Christmas Store was quite a success. We had
many wonderful donations and many shoppers. We would like
to do this again next year and hope to speed up the wrapping
process. Thank you all for your support.
This January we have been busy with our Fun Night Game
Booth. The county puts on an annual Fun Night the first Saturday in February at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds. They have
game booths and a bounce house for the kids, a silent auction
for the adults and food and drink. Each local club is asked to
design and run a game booth.
This year's theme was
"Revolution of Responsibility". We
designed a quiz style game featuring
civic-minded categories. We were
pleased to win third prize in the creativity category.
Our swine project is up and running. All the members have their
pigs and they are hoping to show and
sell them at the Silver Dollar Fair in
May.
This March 3rd, the Hiking Project has organized a snowshoe hike in Lassen National Park. All members and their
families, and members of the community are invited to attend.
We are looking forward to a morning ranger led hike, then

News
With Christmas still fresh
in our memory, we are rapidly
approaching
the
“Easter season.” While there has been controversy over the exact date for these celebrations,
let us set aside that argument and consider the
historic event each commemorates.
Within the Christian church, Christmas
celebrates the miraculous birth of a baby, who
was to become the Savior of all mankind. It took
some 33 years for that child to grow and develop
and to be crucified. Easter, then, celebrates the
historic events concerning His death, burial, and
resurrection.
We at the Cohasset Neighborhood
Church will be celebrating Easter on April 8. We
cordially invite you to join with us then, and
every Sunday.

Community Quilt Project
This year the ladies of Cohasset have been working on 3
quilts.
The first is a beautiful twin size upholstery sampler
quilt made by Elizabeth Davison. It is currently on display in the Cohasset Community building. This quilt will
be raffled off at the Spring Dance.
The second quilt (pictured), a twin size, pinwheel pattern in pink, blue and white is in the process of being
hand quilted. This quit will be raffled off at the Music
Festival and Bazaar in August. Hand quilting is a time
consuming endeavor which is fun and social. If you
would like to try your hand at quilting we will be meeting at the Cohasset Community Association building at
the following dates and times:
•
Saturday March 3rd at 10 am
•
Monday March 12th at 6:30 pm
•
Saturday March 24th at 10:00 am
•
Saturday April 7th at 10:00 am
The third quilt will be a tan and blue lighthouse themed
quilt with blocks of appliquéd lighthouses alternating
with pieced blocks called flying dutchmen. This is an
ongoing project and will be raffled off at the 2013 Music
Festival and Bazaar. We are looking for people to help
us work on this quilt. We will be happy to teach you how
to piece, appliqué and quilt. The dates and time to work
on this quilt are the same times and dates as the quilting meeting above.
Raffle tickets purchased before or at the Spring Dance will be included for the quilt raffle at the August Music Festival and Bazaar.
Tickets for the two, 2012 quilts are 1 for $1.00 or 6 for $5.00.
