Encouraging Crop Prospects.
SAN FnAscIsco, May is. - Tele-
graphic reports from thirty-three coun-
ties OF California this afternoon show
that thirteen will give the largest wheat
yield yet produced, four will be about
tho average, thirteen average, one be-
low average and two poor crops. From
the good counties the grain is reported
plump, heavy and clean. In the south
ern counties OF Los Angeles, San Diego
and San Luis 0bispo the May rains have
done much good; also in the San
joaquin valley where, month ago,
fears were entertained of less than one
third of crop. Stockton now reports
the crop in the San Joaquin in fine con.
dition. Careful estimates place the
yield of that locality at over four million
bushels. In some sections of Napa
valley the rains and high winds have
injured the crops. The same in some
of the northern counties, where the late
rains have rusted the grain good deal
and il will have to be cut for hay. To
summarize: Our unusual May rains
have tended to benefit wheat in the
middle and southern sections and to its
injury in the northern. The hay crop
has been more or less damaged through.
out the State. The fruit crop is affected
to large extent in similar way to the
wheat. In most Of the northern coun-
ties large proportion of the fruit, eN-
eept apples, has been destroyed, but in
the southern counties it has been bene.
tited by the rain. The grape yield will
be large. In the Fresno locality it will
give an enormous quantity, over three
thousand new acres will begin to yield
this year.
