the affair.
Cedar County Bulletin.
The suspension Of this bank has caused
much inconvience and consit erasle perplex-
ity among the farmers and business men Of
this coun,y-much more than was anticipa-
ted at first. II seems that tn. millers have
been in the habit, at the Paragon %.aills, to
purchase wheat from the farmers, paving
for it in checks on Farmers bank. The
merchants all over the country were in the
habit of taking these checks as money and
1t appea ara at present that q good many of
them ere still in the hands Of business men
as we'll a. the farmers; therefore, quite a
arrangement in business is the consequence
OF the failure Of this bank. The merchants
had carried the farmers ,hrough,-some of
them for years-in anticipation Of realiz-
ing from this years crop, in. order to meet
their own obligations. The farmers, after
suffering from the ravages of g~rasshopperr,
had gone considerably in debt to the mer-
chants here, and for machinery to eastern
dealers, were beginning to see the sky
Frightening, after harvesting a tolerably
fair crop, hoping when their produce was
marketed, they could commtnce another
year with a heavy load taken from their
shoulders. But imagine their disappoint-
ment to find their hopes blasted by the
collapse Of this bank-their debts still re-
manning unpaid, aud the merchants worried
in order to meet, and keep up their credit
abroad. This bank having the unbounded
confidence Of all cases of %citizens of this
county, nothing more could embarrass them

trusted to them with care and prompti'ude,
placed in their hands, and hat the losses
it would be. The creditors very wisely
ruptcy, but realize all that could be got out
Of the concern, without going through that
tedious and expensive course, for which
they deserve credit.
1t is understood that when Farmers bank
suspended, the treasurer Of this county had
between three and four thousand dollars o,
county money deposited there. The citi.
zens Of this county demand that the county
commiss toner's, at their next meeting, shall
thoroughly examine into this matter, anc
find who is responsible, and proceed without
delay to have the matter adjusted. This il
a serious affair, as public money concerns
all. If the treasurer has been unfortunate
We sincerely sympathize with him, and hi
bondsmen, but the public should not SUITE,
his misfortune. We advise add urge thu
commissioners to silt this matter 10 the bo,
tom, and hold the one who is responsible
10 the strict letter Of the law. Nothing lie
will satisfy the public,-for most all t,
some extent, have suffered in some shape O
other in consequence Of this unfortunate
failure. 1t matters not the public, as a ger
eral thing, whether Mr.. Howard or Mr.
Jenal is the unfortunate sufferer, but one O
the other must make the loss coed to tn
county, or our laws is made for naught
Thirty days have elapsed since THE ofic'
changed hands, and we understand no 6na
settlement has yet taken place. Why i
this thus the people want to know.

CALIFORNIA CROPS OF 1879.

There will be a good deal of disap-
pointment in the State this year at the
outcome of the grain crops, more par.
ticularly the wheat crop. In many quite
extensive districts a very large share of
the wheat will be cut for hay. The sur
face of the soil was so completely soaked
with stsgnant water that the wheat was
killed outright, and oats. and chess and
weeds came in its place. In some of the
best wheat growing counties the wheat
this year is little better than en- entire
failure, notably 10 this case in some of
the coast and the more northern counties
of the Sacramento Valley. This fact is,
however, somewhat relieved of its ugly
present aspect by the good it promises
in the future. Had the injury to the
crops been caused by drought, by the
lack Of water instead of too much of it,
the sombre cloud of the present year
would have had no silver lining for the
next. AS 1t is, we may expect next year
much larger crop than we shall realize
this. The history OF foods in this State
bear out this expectation. In the flood
years. though the crops have been large.
they have not come up to expectations.
but the following year. with fair
amount OF rain intervening. they have
uniformly exceeded expectations. The
reason is plain. The wet years the wheat
is killed on the low or even high and
level lands. and weeds, az this year, take
it's place. The season for summer. fall
lowing being good large breadth Of
land is prepared for the coming season.
