(By Telegraph to the RECORD. UNION !

BY Telegraph to the RECORD. UNION.
We present below nearly complete reports from
all sections of the State, giving the present outlook
for the harvest of 1881:
ANADoR.-The acreage of wheat for this county is
about threefourths OF that of last year, owing to
the wet weather of January. Since that time the
other fourth Of the tllabe land has been appropri
ated to barley aud summer. falow. Early wheat is
looking well, but that sown since January as well
the barley, though not suffering for rain, would
be benefited by it. The peach crop is not SO badly
damaged by the frost as it was at first thought.
About 800 tons of old wheat still remain stored in
the county. II is Just beginning to rain, with a
good prospect for beneficial shower Fruit trees
other than the peach and almond are in full bloom
and the prospect is fair for good crop.
BUTTE.-The crops in Chico township and all over
the northern portion of Butte county are looking
spenddy, and with the exception OF the late-sown
grain are far advanced More rain is needed for the
late sown, and at the present writing it is cloudy
and appears near at hand. There is at least one
third less acreage sosn this year than last. There
are in Butte county of last years crop, in ware
house nearly 500, coo centals. Last Friday John
Crouch had thirtysix teams seeding 500 acre
field and he expects to get crop from it. This is
the latest sowing ever known in this section.
CoLUsA There are something over 1O0, 600 tons of
wheat in store in this county. Summerfsllow is in
splendid condition throughout the county There
is not much fallow by at least sixty per
cent. as last year. So much depends on the future
weather that it is hard TO make an estimate 1t
is varousy put at from 80 TO 66 per cent short of
last years cIop
CONTRA CosTA.-The crops in this county are
looking well. Tn .creage in grain compared with
last year is about fvu tfs- Tho aana,-at Of
wheat yet stored in this county is probably $4,000
tons.
FREsSo.-There probably 10000 tons of grain
in the warehouses and private hands in this county,
of which amount therA fully 5000 tons of
wheat The acreage sown in grain is 33 per
cent. greater than last year. The condition of the
early -sown grain is very favorable.
Los ANGHLBs-The acreage sown to grain in Los
Angeles county this year. as near as can be approx
mated, Is about 120 600 OF which 90, 900 are
wheat and 80, goo barley This is total increase of
10000 acres over last year. The amount of grain
still in the county is yariously estimated but the
most reliable estimates place the quantity 75 oO0
centas of wheat and q, 900 centals of barley.
MARIN.-There were about 5000 acres put in
wheat last year and about 1000 this year There
are upwards Of $50 tons of wheat stored in this
county. All the crops seem to be doing very well.
MoYTEREY.-The following is the amount OF grain
on hand in Monterey county, exclusive of the rail-
road and steamer warehouse at Pajaro: On March
3lst Salinas City had 900 tons of wheat 900 tons
of barley; Castr0ville 296 tons of wheat 1866
OF barley Chualar, l SIS tons OF wheat 365 tons
barley: Gonzales, 270 tons of wheat, ia tons OF
barley Moss Landing, 1880 tons of wheat, 3, $50
tons OF barley total, l5,04S tons of wheat 5,303
tons of barley There is also about 200 tons of En-
glish mustard on hand in the county, mostly at
Castrovile fair estimate Of the acreage put into
grain this year is 160 900 OF wheat and % 900
acres of barley, increase of about 10,oes acres
from lastyear- The crops in this immediate neigh
horhood are looking well, with every prospect of
bountiful harvest In the southern portion of the
county below ChualaI, rain is much needed
MENpocISo. One hundred tons of wheat are
stored in this county of last years surplus. This
year about twothirs of last years acreage has been
sown. OF the prospect nothing is yet assured. The
crop generally is not so advanced last years
OF this time, and the yield will depend on the late
1ins.
HUMBoLDT.-The winter, on the whole, has been
very favorable to the farmers and stockmen and
the general feeling with all classes is satisfactory.
Seeding is all done AM the farmers look forward to
abundant crops. There is wheat left for export
at least no great amount. The yield last year was
$4,000 bushels from 3, ,70S sown. The acreage
will probably be increased little this year. as will
also that OF oats and barley. There is still some
barley in store, but not much There were 260 ia
bushels of oats last year. of which about 900 tons
remain for shipment. The total acreage last year
was 81 ,s97 which will probably be increased to 80
900 this season.
SAN BRSITo.-It is estimated by the County
Assessor that there from 900 to 600 tons OF
wheat now stored in the warehouses and in the
hands Of private individuals in the various sections
OF San Benlto county The acreage of wheat sown
this year foots up about so 900 acres and of barley
10000 acres, being about the same as that of last
year, or perhaps trife less
SAN JoAQUIS.-Crops in San Joaquin are generally
1t is estimated that this years yield will not exceed
between so or 60 per cent. of last year. Between
1000 and so, 900 tons are stored in the county.
SANTA CLARA-The acreage of grain is two. thirds
of last year, farmers beng unwilling to SOW heavily
on account of the low price of wheat and the
amount in store. Prospects for large crop are
celent. Some OF the ground in the valley is too
wet now, and none is too dry. There are about
1000 tons of wheat now stored in this county.
soLASo.-Reports from all over the county show
tah a11v in
(Valeio) vicinity. Grain is fine, and there is
larger acreage than la't year. Most of the ware.
houses up country well filed and heavy ship
ments replaced by new storages There
20, 600 tons in store at North and South Vallejo.
SUFFER- AND YuBA-The prospects for a fair.
average crop in Yuba and Sutter counties are ex-
celent, notwithstanding the extremely high water
in February, which flooded districts never be-
fore invaded. From the most reliable data
obtainable, the amount of wheat on storeage
in Yuba county is about 5000 tons, mostly
in warehouses in Marysville and wheatland. Sutter
county has about "a 900 tons, the Farmers Co
operative Union warehouses at fuba City alone ac-
commodatng 1900 tons
SHAsrA.-The crops are doing well, and the farm
ers are jubilant at the prospects. The acreage is
considerably larger this year. being in the neighbor
hood of SO, 900 acres.
TEHAMA.-The fruit growers claim full half crop.
The wheat crop, of which this county has larger
acreage than ever before, looks WELL is Of good
color and should we have rain by the middle Of the
month, a fair average yield will be assured. The
statistics put the acreage Of 1850 at 125 OOO Weld
ing l. 250, 900 bushels OF which there yet remains
stored in the warehouses some 100000 sacks
TULARE.-The average acreage this season is one
third larger than that of last year. and the produc
ton per acre will be larger. The average crop Of
the vines and trees is FIVE times that of last season.
We have in store about $4,000 bushels of grain Of
last years production.
YoLo-The weather is all that could be desired
and grain is doing finely. The acreage is probably
wheat is away up, and is considered safe Winter.
sown will need more rain of which there is a good
prospect now. OF the old crop there is probably
$4,000 tons stored in the different warehouses in
Yolo county.
