twenty-four hours.
San ANDREAs, June 10th.-Crops in this coun-
| ", as a whole, were never better or more prom
| Using. The acreage of wheat and barley is IN

| Is favorable to our farmers
| SANTA BARBARA June 10th.-The wheat and
| barley crops are generally good There is very
little black rust but considerable red rust on the
| leaves not affecting the grain. Fifteen hun
dredths of an inch OF rain fell Sunday, slightly
| damaging the hay crop. Apricots and Bartlett
pears viii be a light crop. Other crops are gen
| orally good.
| FRESNO. June 10th.-The prospects for an
| abundant harvest was never better. The winter
| season grain will be ready for harvesting next
week and the spring grain VIII come III about
| two weeks later The late rains have been more
of a benefit than an injury to the grain, but has

dicaions for crops in this vicinity at present are
very good and are considered up to the average.
\ month ago the outlook was not very good, put
owing to the cool weather of late the grain has
| filed out splendidly. II is very cheaty. so much
so that some is being cut for hay. The late rains
| have had no effect on our crops so far.
SAN JOSE, June 10th.-The rains have caused
serious damage throughout the county to hay
| and grain, the barley being badly lodged, and
more than half of the crop is said to be ruined.
Wheat is not so much damaged, and large
crop is expected. Black cherries and grapes of
all kinds are slightly damaged Hay has SUI

| late storm was 30 of an inch.

| drowned and the ground is too wei and cold for
grain TO flourish. The hay crop is short, and
rather low i'll quality This June rain will
further depreciate it. Potatoes are so late that
nothing can yet be predicted ofthem.
| PLACERvILLE, June 10th.-Reports from differ
ent sections of this county indicate that the crop
OF cereals will be above the average. Wheat is
very good, barley good, hay average Some fear
is entertained that the grasShoppers may lnjure

weather has been slightly detrimental TO the

larger.
are not as favorable as they were fortnight ago,
but the yield will be larger than ever known III
the county. The heavy shower of the 4th left
some OF its work in the county, doing damage
to the extent of about $40, 600 The rain of sun
day was not damaging, but yesterday and to-day
we are having prolonged rain, which Will III
jure much hay i'll stack, and break down great
deal of heavy grain. Otherwise fields never
looked better. Our fields unusually clear
from cheat and the sacks will be clean wheat.
Many outside buyers are purchasing choice land.
SHASTA. June 10th.-The condition and pros
pecis of crops in Shasta county were never
better Everything is Il month ahead of the
previous seasons. our rainfall 10 date is nearly
50 inches, and has come at such times and in
such quantities were Just right for grain,
fruits, vegetables and farming produce of all
kinds and heavy crops viii be raised here this
| season upon lands that were never before
thought fit for cultivation. Several hundred
new settlers have come into our county the past
year and all feel encouraged at their prospects.
Lands are in great demand, and several large
sales have been made the past month.
CHICO June 10th.-The condition of the grain
crop in this country at the present writing is
difficult to ascertain. owing TO the unsettled
condition oftne weather. Last week it looked
favorable for yield a long way above the aver
age. but the heavy showers last Wednesday laid
down some of the heaviest grain, which will
never mature. Some hay has been hurt by the
rain, but not much; but as il is shOweTing again
to-day. there is no telling what may be the
result. There has been little sun for the past
three days, and the grain needs the sun to ripen.
1t is thought that Butte county will have good
average crop, notwithstanding the untavoTable
weather.
OAKLAND June 1Oth.-The rain of Sunday
effectually blackened the hopes of the farmers,
as it lodged the grain. About one inch of rain
fell in Alameda county. The effect is disas-
trous. Hay lay spread upon hundreds of acres,
and if hot sun follows before the hay is dry,
bleaching viii be the result. The grain was
lodged all through the county, and hot weather
viii cause rust. The grain and hay farmers are
praying lor wind to dry the hay and grain be-
| fore hot weather occurs. ii the grain does not
rust the crop Will be large, but the expense of
harvesting will be very great. The ripe fruit
hanging on the trees broken here by the
| rain. Cherries suffered more than other fruits.
| BAKERSFIELD, June l0th.-The condition of
the growing crops Of every kind in this county
is first rate, with the exception OF the first
crop of hay. The late rains have injured it ma
terially, both after being cut and the pofion
that remains sanding but this, CT course, Will
not apply 20 the subsequent crops of the season.
Less than half the area is i'll grain this year than
of rormer years, but the aggregate yield will be
double that of any previous season. No com
plants are heard of it having been beaten down
or otherwise injured by the late rains. Summer
crops including fruits vines. cotton, hops etc,
promise enormous results. The natural pastur-
age throughout the county was never better.
| There is not stock enough TO consume the half
| of it,
CoII-sA. Junc 1Oth.-Thc crop prospect of Co
lusa county continues favorable. 1t is the best
outlook the county has ever had at this time of
he year The weather continues cloudy, with
occasional local showers. and the grain promises
to be very plump and heavy. There were
| hail-stoms in several parts of the county
on Wednesday last, which caused some heavy
grain to ial! but the damage IRON this cause
will not be great. \ little Of the heaviest OF
the fallen grain has begun TO show some signs
of rust, but the damage cannot be large. The
prospect is still for from eight to ten million
bushels OF wheat for the county, and most OF 1t
viii be number one. The barley is already
made, and is all good; but we viii not have
very great surplus. Our fruit is, gen
orally good, but the number of fruit trees in
bearing are inconsi6erable. \ great deal of al
talta has been SoNn this spring, and Is all finely
set.
