Alameda County.
NILES June l5th.-The wheat and barley crop
in this vicinity is nearly ripe, with very bright
color and plump. The yield will be the largest
we have had for several years.
SAN LEANDRo, June 15th.-One thousand sacks
of wheat this year. As usual, the principal
grain is chevalier barley, which viii this year
yield fifteen thousand sacks-ten thousand
short. because Of so much land being put to to-
matoes and cucumbers Allthc grain is of very
fine quality.
LIyERMoRE, June l5th.-A full yield of wheat
is promised in the valley. Considerable will be
cut for hay. Two additional warehouses are
being built, with a capacity of 5000 tons. The
hay and barley are looking fine, and there is
more growing than for years The vineyards
are in fine condition, and heavy yield is an
tieipated. We will probably have seven win
cries in operation during the season.
Butte County.
CHICO, June 15th.-The north wind OF Friday,
Saturday and Sunday played sad havoc with
the grain fields, and farmers are consequently
discouraged. low estimate gives at least one
third reduction in the yield that was expected,
with no corresponding reduction in the expense
of harvesting.
ORovILLE, June 15th.-Previous to last Thurs
day the wheat yield in this region promised an
average of about sixteen bushels The UMPIRE
cedented wind of that day thrashed out an
average of one fourth.
CoIusa County.
WILLOWS June 15th.-The north wind occa-
stoned considerable damage in Chile wheat, but
the acreage being but two per cent OF the entire
crop, the damage to the balance of the wheat
which is all club is merely nominal. The
wind having subsidized, the harvest is now in
full blast. We Will have more than an average
crop, and the quality is the best ever known
here.
oRLAND, June l5th.-The late north wind
caused great damage in the grain fields and
orchards here. 1t is estimated that the loss OF
grain is one-sixth of the crop.
CoLUsA, June 15th-Exeept for the damage by
the north wind, the crop in the county was
never so good. The wheat is all plump and
heavy and the yield would have been unprece-
dented.
| Contra Costa County.
| ANTIOCH, June 15th.-The acreage sown in
wheat between Bay Point and Byron is largely
in excess of former years, and the yield is the
best for twenty years. Thousands ofacres stand

vested.
MERGED County.
MERGED, June 15th.-The heavy north winds
of Thursday Friday and Saturday caused the
early wheat to shell out badly in the field, and
in some places causing the tall wheat to lodge
badly. Otherwise no injury is reported.
Monterey County.
SALINAS, June 1jth.-The crop prospects in
this vicinity were never more promising than at
present. There is a slight trace of blightin
places between here and soledad which will
amount to very little. In all other parts of the
county appearances are most hattering. As the
acreage is larger than ever before, prosperous
times are anticipated.
Napa County.
NAPA, June 15th.-The favorable season will
cause wheat in this county to yield more per
acre than for several years past. The north
winds have done little damage. The Hessian
Fly has not been prevalent
ST. HELENA, June 15th.-Little or no wheat is
produced in this immediate vicinity. What

causing some of the grain to shell out and
lodge. The farmers still think the crop will be
an average one.
sacramento County.
The damage to grain in Sacramento county,
from the wind-storm. was not very great A
small amount of the ripest wheat was shelled
out a little. but most of the grain was not ripe
enough to be so injured. The wheat generally
in this county is excellent, and now promises
an unusually large yield The fruit crop suf-
fered. however, very much by the heavy winds.
The plums, peais, and apples have in
many instances been two-thirds beaten from the
trees, which, in view of the fact that there was
but partial crop before, leaves the prospect for
these products very meager. indeed K. ID. Ste
phens states that the plum crop at his place, at
Mathew Station has been nearly destroyed. He
was expecting about half crop prior to the
wiud-storm, but the peach plums, which would
have been in market within ten days
are at least two-thirds blown off, and
other carly varieties are similarly lett By the
storm. Much damsge was also done to fruit
trees, especially to young gratis, of which
large per cent were blown out and destroyed.
AS to the outlook Tor fruit, it may be said, how
ever that whatever amount is left llpon the
trees. and natures, will be large and bring high
prices. Grapes were not much injured, and OF
these there win no doubt be an enormous yield.
The shortage on other varieties of fruit will
bring grapes into full demand, and insure
highly satisfactory returns for them.
San Benito County.
HoIIIsTER, June 15th.-The wheat crop is
ripening beautifully, and some is ready for cut
ting. The crop is unusually heavy and of SUI
perior quality. The weather and prospects
were never more iiattering The average yield
per acre is variously estimated at from thirteen
