Mr.. Eli Perkins has arrived in town
from California and Utah. In the last eight
weeks he has travelled Ivy stage and rail over
1900 miles. or more than half the distance
around the globe. In reply to Il sun reporters
question as 10 how the crops look from New
York to California. MIR. Pcrsns said:
"The crops from New York to Omaha could
not look better. Corn everywhere promises
rich yield. Even In Nebraska. ~ far out us
North Platte, corn. oats wheat, barley. and, in
fact, all grains and vegetables, could not look
better Wheat. Of which a larger acreage has
been sow"d this year than ever b9fore Is be-
yond all danger 1t cannot fail 10 yield boun-
tiful crop"
How are the crops in California;"
Bad. very Dad. They could not be worse.
The whole southern two-thirds Of California is
stricken with n most dreadful drought. 1t is q
general saying in California that the crops
have been postponed this year on account Of the
weather. The San joaquin Valley is as barren
as the desert Of Sahara In some places the
wheat grew about ten inches high. then sick
cncd. turned yellow. and died. Cattl and sheep
in southern California are starving. The Sierra
Nevada mountains are full Of sheep waiting for
the snow to melt so that they can pass over. II
is u common thing to see sheep climb on to rocks
and reach after pine bOughs. Indeed, I've seen
sheep jump three feet TO catch pine limb. Tho
drought has extended all the way 70 ogden.
