month OF May, wheat has filed well, and nearly all
sent irom this county of this years harvest will be
number one article
sAS LUIS oBIsPo--The crops in this county will
not yield as much per acre as last year, but the
acreage is larger. 1t may be put down at so per
cent OF last years yield. Harvesting is now going
on. The late rains did no damage
san DIRGo.-The condition ana prospects of the
crops in San Diego county is excellent, and the
grain is in fine condition in every part OF the county
The vineyards and orchards are in an exceedingly
thrifty state, and shall have larger crop of all
kinds OF fruit than in any previous year. The
honey crop is almost total failure, as compared
with previous years Probably not over 250,oo0
pounds win be produced for export this season.
UKiAH.-The late cool rainy weather and north
winds have injured the growing grain and hay
crops Cereals will not give two-thirds of crop
this year, and hay will be unusually short, notwth
standing much grain will be cut for hay. Hops also
will be light crop, and are very backward.
BASERsfIELD. in this valley is pro-
crossing fast the scarcity of hands will admit
Good wages are paid. The area in wheat is larger
than last year, and the crops more promising. The
outlook never better. Water for irrigation has
been and still continues abundant though the rain
fall has been light not exceeding three inches.
There is no rust, ner has there been any desccatng
Winds
NAPA.-The late rains in this valley have been
beneficial to the fruit and grain crop. The wheat
crop OF this year will be about two-thirds OF the
amount raised last year. The crop of hay is large,
and was not damaged to any great extent by the
late rain. The fruit crop promises to be large,
though in some places peaches and apricots were
injured by the late frosts in May. vineyardiss say
that owing late frost the grape crop will not be
quite as large as that Of last year.
vALLEJo-The crops in this section of the couu-
ty started with splendid prospects. The acreage
was larger here than any preyiou, year, in this
spect better than in the upper end of the county.
Rust appeared after OF the late rains,
but the winds prevailing for sometime after pre-
vented much disaster The worst enemy eucoun-
tered is the Hessian . which has destroyed several
hundred acres of wheat, making it useless except
for straw The prospect Of the county is anything
but notably encouraging. Some good crops, but
more bad ones, will be harvested. There is no
means of making reliable estimate of yield now.
SANTA CRuz--The crops in this county will not
be much to brag Of. Rust has made its appearance
in number OF places. 1t viii probably fall below
the average of last year. The rain did little or no
damage
SANTA RARBARA.-Tbe yield of wheat, fax and
all kinds of grain is excellent particularly so in the
western portion of the county. The apricot aud
pear crop is splendid the peach crop about 70 per
cent of last year. There is general feeling of
prosperity throughout the farming community.
Los ANGELEs.-Harvesting is going on actively
throughout the county. From the best information
attainable the crop of wheat will be fair average
in quantity, while in quality is 20 TO so per cent
above that of last year. In some sections there is
slight rust, but not enough to do any damage ma
owing to reduced acreage and ateness of sowing in
some parts of the county. The hay crop is good
SAN BERN RS.RDNo.-Present prospects for large
fruit crop are good. The grain crops are not SO
good as last year 1t was at first supposed that the
last rain would do considerable damage, but upon
examination it appears that instead of doing so it
has done it good.
SAcRAMESTo-The situation in Sacramento coun-
ty may be thus summed up Hay crop large, but OF
poorer quality than usual Cereals crop light prob
ably rot more than one-third Of the usual yield.
Fruits good and plentiful, the yield being largely
in excess Of expectation, it proving that the high
waters of the winter did less damage to the orchards
Of the low lands than supposed. Berry crop very
good. Grapes promising well. The hop crop will
be full average. The late rains damaged only some
exposed hay. Vegetable yield excellent.
