The Peach Crop Will Be Above the
Average-Olive Culture, etc.
SAN FRANCISCO. April Sth.-Crop reports
received to-day by the California Associ-
ated Press from all the grain and fruit
growing counties in California show, on
on the whole, excellent prospects for the
coming harvest, Notwithstanding the fears
entertained that the heavy rainfall during
the past winter would have a detrimental
effect.
The wheat crop will be a good three
quarters of last years yield. The shortage
is partially due to the change from grain to
fruit. The hay crop will be about an aver
age in quantity and quality.
The prune crop promises to be the best
and largest ever gathered. This is due to
the increased number of orchards coming
into bearing. The reports also show that a
large number of new prune orchards were
set out this spring.
Peaches Will be more than an average
crop, while apricots will be a very light
crop. The constant rains and cold winds
rotted the buds. A marked future shown
by this years fruit reports is a largely in
creased acreage being set out to olives. This
fruit, which previously had figured in only
three counties to any extent, is now being
grown and planted in about twenty coun-
ties, and in all cases is reported to have a
most promising outlook.
SALINAS, April Sth.-The grain crop will
fall short in acreage on account of the un-
favorable weather for planting. Hay crops
will be abundant. Fruit crops are in their
infancy in this county.
HANFoRD, April Sth.-All kinds of grain
and hay are good. Apricots are full. Other
ont h.,Sy L
the crop light.
AUBURN, April Sth.-The weather is de-
hghtful to-day. There will be heavy crops
OF hay in this vicinity. Cherries will be
full crop. Plums and prunes are light,
peaches fair crop. 1t is too early to tell
much about oranges and olives. All the
fruit trees are from two to three weeks late
in coming out.
MODESTO, April Sth.-The crop outlook in
Stanislaus county is the best for number
OF years. The acreage sown to grain is not
as large as in former years, owing to the
heavy rains during the winter obstructing
plowirg. The hay and fruit crops are un.
usually promising.
BISHOP, April Sth.-The prospects of all
crops in Owens valley are excellent. Fruit
is late on account of the cold weather con-
tnulng until recently, but the crop will be
good. There will be an abundant irrigst-
ing supply this year. The crops of prunes,
peaches and apricots, as well as other
fruits, will be good. No olives are grown
here. Owing to the number of new or
chards planted, no estimate of the trees or
acreage can be given.
TULARE, April Sth.-The acreage of grain
in Tulare county is round half million.
All looks well now, but the late sown be-
gins to need rain. Less than an inch of
rain fell in March, and up to this time in
April, but few showers from now on will
make the output tor Tulare for 1890 $780,
600 centals
