fill well after falling-but notwithstanding this
severe drawback on some of the farmers upon
the heavy. adobe and rich creek bottom lands,
the average yield throushout the county viii be
immense, far above that of any year since 1873,
and will equal if not excel the yield of that sea
son. On the sand lands and light soils on the
hills harvesting has commenced, and both
wheat and barley are turning out fully up 70
the calculations of farmers, and the season will
undoubtedly prove the most prosperous that we
have ever had in the San Joaquin valley.
SAN JOAQUIN.
STOCKTON, June 24th-The total rain was so
slight in this county that no injurious effects
are perceiyable. The weather since the storm
of the 18th has been exceedingly favorable for
the filling out of wheat, whichtis No. in quail
ity. The large area OF wheat fiattened to the
will be choice milling. The late sown wheat,
which has kept its feet promises heavy yield,
Notwithstanding the enormous loss by overflow
in the reclaimed district, and the lodging of the
grain on summer-fallowed land. The increase
in the area sown, and the promising outcome on
the West Side, lead to the conclusion that the
wheat yield in this county this year will not fall
short of last years crop. The harvest prospect
is regarded as more encouraging than two weeks
ago.
TEHANA
RED BLUFF, June 24th.-The rains of several
days ago were very heavy for about three days.
Taken generally, the crops are not injured as
much as supposed, although in places the dam
age is very great. In the northern half of the
county little grain is raised and the damage
is not worthy of mention. The southeastern
and the middle of the southern half of the
county will suffer about 10 per cent. of what the
grain promised to be prior TO the rains. In the
southwestern portion of the county, about Pas
kenta and MELVILLE, the crop of grain will
suffer loss averaging IS per cent. The hay
crop is badly damaged, in some places the loss
running up as high as so per cent. Previous TO
the rains hay was offered at s. and Sc. Now it
is held for high prices, the farmers in Some in
stances re-
mains of the grain crop is very heavy, and i'll
prime condition. The late rains did no material
damage and the farmers are now heading
lively.
MARYsvILIE, June 2lth.-The late rains seem
to have done scarcely any damage to wheat or
barney in either this the adjoining county.
The injury to the summer-fallow grain from
lodging is very sight, and is more than offset by
the benefit derived by the winter-SOwn grain.
Crops are looking splendidly and promise a
large yield. the header is now at work among
the barley and work will commence on wheat
in day or two. Hay suffered some from the
rains, but not to anything like the extent
chronicled in olher sections.

VALLEJO. June 2ith-It looks as if Soano
county would send about as many bags of grain

less this year. The heavy rain of week before
last rdined all the hay out OF doors, and four

but not 50 much as first supposed. The slight

SAN DIEGO
SAN DIEGO, June 2ith.-The grain and hay
crops were more or less damaged by the late
rains, but not so much as at first feared More
damage occurred in the eastern than in western
aud northern parts OF The county. Probably

| and orchards are in splendid condition. The
traa lAu .tnltt

| crop, but not OF extra quality.
MONTEREY.
SALINAS, June 24th.-A week of such weather
as to-day will be of immense benefit in repair
| ing the damage done BY the late Storm. In the
upper part of the valley, say from Gonzales
| south to Soledad and beyond rust has attac ked
| the grain, and will reduce the yield considera-
| bly, below the expectations of few weeks ago.
Some farmers are blowing and planting corn
| and pumpkins in the land on which they had
cut hay, and which spoiled by the rain
| The harvesting will be late, and more laborious
| requiring the use of binders in many fields for
merly gathered with headers; but with Il con-
tnuation of bright, clear weather, there Will be
a large surplus of grain TO ship from this valley

part OF this month utterly destroyed The hay that

remaining was cut. The rains of last sunday

was lodged by the first rains and there is dan

vest.ng will be so great that the profits of the
grain-Srowers will be very small Tree fruits
were much injured by the rain. Ripe cherries
were split open, and in some parts of the county
are being Sun-dIled TO save total loss. The
outlook Is not good, and the farmers are gloomy

of this county will amount 10 quite twice as
much as last year. The barley crop win be

poets, lnclc Is promise Ol Il iuil average crop,
| but not an enormous yield. The average Yield
promises to equal that of1Ss3 with the increased

| promise of seventy-five per cent. of an average
| crop Wisconsin gives promise of a full average
crop. The prospects in Ohio, Indiana and Hi
