most OF the hay is cut and in the field.

ing almost steadily for three days. Last

large.

TO date The snow came low down on the
foothills. The grain in this valley is in
blossom, and where rank is lodged some,
but, if warm weather sets in soon, it will
straighten up, so that no great damage will
be done. There was a frost last night, but
it was foggy this morning, which. pre-
vented any damage. On the whole in this
valley, the prospect is good for an abundant
yield of grain and fruit.
B1GGs, June 13th-We have had the
heaviest rainfall ever known here at this
season. but the damage to crops, with the
exception of hay, which is an entire wreck,
has been comparatively small. The sum-
mer-fallowed grain is so far advanced that
the stem has become hardened, and has
sufficient strength TO SUPPORT the extra
weight of water. The storm has not been
accompanied by any wind, and the late or
winter-sown grain has been actually bene-
fitted by the rain, which amounts to over
two inches for this storm. Taken all in ALL
unless the rain is followed by a heavy
wind, no damage OF consequence IS appre-
hended
