The Grain sad Fruit Prospect in
san Diego County.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, March 0.-The
area sown in grain Is one-third to one
half greater than in any previous year.
The crop prospects are very discourage
ing in several large districts Of the
county, while in other sections the out.
look Is good. The rain fall has been
sinRufarly unequal. Less than three
inches for the season have been meas
ured here on the coast, while at some
points inland from eight to thirteen
inches have fallen. The best spproxi-
innte estimate that can be made Is half
crop for the whole county. Farmers are
not holding any grain, having sold all Of
last years crop for export and to local
-four mills. There are perhaps thous-
and sacks in warehouses here. 1t may
be added that while the grain outlook Is
doubtful. the fruit crop will be the lar
gsst in the history Of the county, and Of
superior quality. More tree and vine
planting Is now going on than in any
past year.
