topography of California is that it is a vast
oil and gas region; that the oil wells here

county is better than in any other county
in this part of the State. In the upper part
of the valley they will get barely enough

moist winds of the past few days have had
surprisingly stimulating effect upon the
grain. Many fields which not long since

fair yield. In numerous Instances the
stalks are green and full, and, though the
soil is very dry, there will be sufficient
moisture in the stalks to make good heads.
