san Luis ObIspO County.
SAN LUIS OBIsPo, May 9th.-The condi.
ton OF all the crops, including fruit and
grain, is good in the coast part of the county,
where the greater portion of the crop has
been placed. From San Simeon TO the Santa
Maria river on the coast, distance Of eighty
miles, all the grain is healthy and of good
color, and bids fair to be an average crop.
The eastern part Of the county, used chiefly
for grazing, has an abundance of feed, and
cattle and sheep are doing we'll. The farmers
are hopeful, and if the cool weather con-
tnues the harvest will be satisfactory.
San Hateo County.
REDWOOD CITY, May 9.h.-The season
here is far enough advanced t. enable people
to decide with reasonable certainty as to the
probable yields of grain and fruit. The late
winds have retarded the growth, and few
fields that promised well are destroyed.
About Redwood City aud on our coast most
OF the grain fields will yield full crop, many
more than an average. In other portions Of
this county aboat half the acreage Of crops
vary. with some looking well and others be-
ing good for nothing. Taken as a whole,
those most competent TO jadge estimate that
two thirds OF an average harvest will be gath
cred this year. Fruit Of every kind ia in ex-
csllent condition. A few varieties of bios
as whole the yield will far exceed an aver
age one.
shasta County.
SHASTA, May 9.h.-The crop prospects of
Shasta county are everything that could be
wished for, and our farmers are all prosper.
Gus and happy. The crops this year will ex-
heavily loaded, and will yield better crops
than for the past few years. In conclusion,
Shasta county may be set down at fifty per
cent. increase over the past few seasons.
SiskIyou County.
YREKA. May 9th-Rains during the last
week were of great benefit to the crops.
Good yield expected in all sections of grain,
hay and feuif Cold weather has kept the
fruit back so as to escape the late fIosts,
usual during the latter part of this month.
The greatest prosperity is quite promising to
farmers. The mining intere5tyare also favor
able for quartz, placer and river mining.
soIanO County.
DIXON, May 9th-A violent north wind
has prevailed for three days. The crops are
in bad way, and unless favorable weather
sets in at once and continues for several days
there viii not be mere than half crop. The
fruit crop promises well.
VALLEJO, May 9sh.-In the immediate vi
cinity of Vallejo wheat, barley and hay never
looked better at this time than now. The
Hessian fly has made its appearance in the
valley toward Napa, and is apt to severely
affect the crop in that section. The north
wind Of the past few days has done no dam
age here.
stanislaus County.
MODESTO, May 9sh.-0n the West Side
the crops are entirely destroyed, except on
irrigated land and some few spots sheltered
from the hot winds. Between the Tuolumne
aud San Joaquin rivers the grain prospects
are very poor. Rain might give the farmers
seed and feed, but this is very doubtful, al
though on summer fnllowed land there are
still hopes for quarter crop. On the east
side of the railroad, between the Tuolumne
aud Stanislaus rivers, and between the Tuol-
umne and Nerced rivers to the foothills.
grain is much better looking and the pros
poets are it may give half crop, but that is
very doubtful, except on summer fallowed
land. Taking the county as whole the
judgment Of those best calculated to know is
that the crop will hardly be one-fourth of last
years. The severe weather of the past ten days
has blasted all hopes Of any crop in this coun.
ty. No fruit is raised here to speak of.
Tehama County.
RED BLUFF, May 9th.-From the most re.
liable information obtained from farmers in
different localities in this county. there is but
little doubt that the wheat crop will be much
better this year than last. The grain on the
bottom lands looks particularly fine. That
on summer-fallow uplands is also good. Moth.
ing but heavy north winds will prevent the
farmers from having good crop. The fruit
crop promises a good yield, and but little has
been destroyed by frost. Wool to-day sold
for 2G cents. The market is not yet fully
opened.
TuIaTe County.
VIsALIA, May 9th.-The cereal crop Of
Tulsre will not be mora than one-fourth what
it would have been wsr it not for the north
winds. The fruit crop is the best we have
ever had, with the exception Of apricots.
The weather is warm, and the bitches full OF
water.
ruOIumne County.
SONORA, May 9th.-The prospect for the
fruit and grain yield in Tuolumne county
was never better than at present Tae spring
has been remarkably auspicious. The weather
Is still cool and pleasant.
Ventura Comfy.
SAN BUESAvENTURA, May 9th.-At least
one-third OF the barley and wheat crops is
affected by blight. said now to be partly
caused by myriads of microscopic gnats on
the stalks and leaves. Another ca1se is the
rapid evaporation of the moisture and baking
of the soil. The fruit crops never looked
better. Il is too early to prognosticate as to
the corn and bean crops, as they are Just
being planted. More acres than usual have
been reserved for the latter. An immense
yield Of honey is looked for, as the white
sage is growing finely and will shortly be in
bloom.
YOlO County.
WOODLAND, May 9th.-The crop outlook
in Yolo is not as encouraging as two weeks
ago. Reports from different parts of the
county are at variance, and while it is be.
ieved that much of the early sown grain will
make fair yield, there is large portion,
chiefly the late sown, that will be total
failure. It is generally thought that there
will be an average of half crop. The north
wind which is now blowing Is doing great
damage.
