THROUGH THE FARMs.-Reports somewhat
conflicting have from time to time come to us
regarding the condition of the crops IN western
Placer and the parts of Yuba and Sutter ad Join
ing. We have recently made a visit through
these sections, and are pleased to state that
though the crops are considerably below the av-
erage they are, as a general thing, better than
we had expected to see them. The yield of
grain will in these parts be very small. The
acreage Of hay will be unusually large. But the
hay is, generally speaking, thin on the ground
Owing to the heavy rains in the winter, the ear
ly sown grain is badly drowned out, and grass,
cheat timothy, weeds and clover, which will
make good hay have sprung up in its stead, and
notwithstanding it is thin on the ground the
large acreage will make the hay crop at least suf
fcient to supply home demand Occasionally,
in favored locality, field of average grain can
be seen, but the fields that will produce an av-
erage are far apart Near Wheatland, in Yuba
county the crops are nearly an average, but ON
this side of Bear Rivel, below Sheridan, in Sut-
ter county, there will scarcely be any grain at
all, and the hay is light. In below and around
Lincoln the crops are pretty much as we have
described above, except along Coon Creek, Au-
burn Ravine and other streams, they are what
we may call fair, as they always are. Leaving
the valley and coming into the foothills, we
find crops better, and by the time we get as
high Auburn, we find them averaging better
than they have been for many years, This sa
plain, truthful statement of the crop prospects
in the parts of lower Placer, Sutter and Yuba,
which we visited And after making due allow
ance for exaggerated reports, we think it will
average fairly with most other sections north Of
Sacramento.
