Sacramento County
The past six weeks has made very
marked reduction in the prospective grain
yield in Sacramento county for the present
season. The failure to have our usual
spring rains caused short growth of straw
and thin upon Che ground. Considerable
that was not very promising was cut for
hay, as hay is higher, relatively. than grain.
1t is estimated that this wears crop will
amount in Sacramento county to about
100000 bushels of wheat and 10000
bushels of barley. The estimates upon
TINS years crop vary from one-third to one
halt that of last year, but tho3e hest quail
he'd to Judge place it at about one-third.
The amount of old wheat in mills and
SranarieS IS placed at 5000 tons.

SANTA BARBARA, June ltth-The report
of wheat and barley for this county will be
an average half crop. The probable gross
yield OF wheat will be 100000 sacks, and

San Bernardino County.
SAN BERNAEDINo. June IG;h.-HarveSt-
ing has commenced in good shape, and the
grain is turning out well. The early-sown
barley is not going TO yield so much to the
acre as that sown later in the season. but it
is all good, clear plump barley, and taking
il al in all, is one of the largest barley
crops the county has had for years, al
though it looked so discouraging early in
the season Wheat is looking well, and
will not be troubled with rust, as was eX-
pected. There is no old wheat left over in
this county. Our fruit crops never looked
better. and our canneries and dryers have
commenced work on apricots which is an
unusual large crop this year.
santa Clara County.
SAN JOSE, June 16th.-It is now con-
ceded that the wheat crop of this valley
will be very light, the most sanguinc now
not claiming that the average yield of the
entire acreage will be more than four CEN
tails per acre This will give a total of
about 1922 ceutals. The quality prom
iseS to We good. Barley is in a much better
an average crop, or about twelve centals
per acre. This will give an aggregate of
about 1868 centals. Wheat in ware
houses and mills, about $500 tons; barley
in warehouses, not more than LOCO tons.
There will be full average crop of apples
peaches, pears and grapes. Apricots are a
full crop in most young orchards, and half
a crop in the old. Prunes and plums are
fair crop.
Santa Cruz County.
SANTA Cruz, June l6th.-The most COM
prehensive and careful estimates place the
yield of cereals for this season in this county
at about three-fourths OF an average crop.
Last year was an over crop, and is not q re-
liable basis of comparison. The grain and
hay crop of this county is all demanded for
| home consumption, and cuts no figure i'll
the general market of the State Fruit, in
cluding grapes, promises well. The vine
yards in this county are entirely uniniured
by frost.
San Diego County.
SAN DIEGO, June l6th.-The wheat yield
will exceed So 600 sacks, and barley over
$4,000 sacks for San Diego county.
san Joaquin County.
STOCKTON, June 16th.-The San Joaquin
wheat acreage is less than last year, the
estimated yield being probably 100000
bushels. The barley yield is only about
enough for local consumption. Careful
estimates give 10000 tons of wheat in store
in the county The crops throughout aver
age about one-third Of a full crop,
San Mateo County.
REDWOOD CRY, June 16th.-The crops in
San Mateo county this season are very
light OF wheat, about 1000 sacks will
cover the entire yield, and there will be
very little more of barley. On the coast
where in former years the yield has aver
pged about 127 600 sacts. Lot more than
25,000 to 10000 sacks of wheat barley, pa
tatO and other crops will be shipped this
season. On the coast the farmers have
generally gone back to dairying and stock
raising and given up crop farming. The
lack of rain at the proper season compelled
most of the grain sown to be cut for hay
and there will consequently be Il much
larger yield of that product. 1t is safe 10
say that there Will not be much more than
half a crop this year. There are 500 tons of
wheat in warehouse here
Shasta County.
SHASTA, June 1Gth.-The condition of
crops in Shasta county is good. The prob
able gross yield of wheat and barley viii
be about 20 per cent. more than last year.
Very little, if any, old wheat remains on
hand. The rain of the past few days has
been very beneficial to all kinds of vegeta-
tion.Snd fruits, an inch and a half of rain
having fallen here,
