Ventura crop Prospects.
SAN BUENAvENTURA, May 8. -
There is no change to note in the
condition of crop prospects since
the last report. The first days O
this week were cloudy and threat
ened rain, which would have done
much harm, as the heavy grair
would have lodged, but that danger
has passed. The Free Press here
has gathered statictics from all ovel
the county, which show probabl,
yield of 630,79l sacks of barley
361,545 sacks of corn and l03, 4O(
of wheat. The only change tha
can now occur in the chances of 6
good yield may be the rusting of {
portion of the wheat, which has nj
ready occurred to some extent IL
the Sespe region. Should itthreat
en- serious injury many of thu
farmers will at once cut the grair
and plant the land to corn, which
can be done during all of this mont
and give q good crop. The hone,
