THE EARLY RAINS.

Damage to Crops.

II They Continue They viii Cause Great
Damage to Crops.
HAYwARDs, Sept. 16. - The frequent
rains during the last two weeks are causing
no little damage among fruit men and farm
ers. There is an enormous amount of dried
fruit exposed, the cloudy weather naturally
keeping it from curing. There are thou
sands of sacks of grain exposed. particularly
in the hills. where harvesting has just COM
menced, though most of the valley farmers
have wareh0used their grain. In the hills
and iaround Ramon and Dublin athere are
enormous stacks of hay yet to be baled.
The recent bad weather has put stop to
baling for a time, and presses now being
scarce, it is question whether all this hay
will be baled before the rains come. On the
Dougherty ranch, especially, hay stacks are
as thick as grasshoppers. 1t is the largest
crop known for years. Rains. just now
would cause millions of dollars worth OF
damage to dried fruits. hay and grain. The
grain crop in this vicinity, though not above
the average, is far ahead of previous years
in quality. A big sale of Chevalier barley,
about $1,000 sacks, comprising nearly the
entire yield, was made by the Mount Eden
farmers to II. Trubenbach of San Fran
cisco last week, who has chartered vessel
to ship it to Liverpool.
