Although the present winter has been
unpleasant on account of much cold and
snowy weather, which has interfered greatly
with the mining business, 1t will prove
benefit in another direction, and that will
be the promise OF large fruit crop. Usu-
ally by this time OF the year. under the
influence Of mild weather, the fruit buds
are we'll toward the poisoning period, and
later frosts often cut off large part of the
promised crop; but this season the cold
weather has kept back the sap, and the
blossoming will be much later in conse-
quence. Fruit trees Of all kinds are full
of buds, and to all appearance the fruit
crop promises to be the largest ever known
in the foothills. OF course there are such
| dangers as late frosts and scale-bugs that
may tell against this promise but even
with considerable percentage of loss,
fruit men think it altogether probable that
the general crop will be the largest ever
known.-[Grass Valley Union.
