Following is the weather bureaus
crop balletin for the week:
Hueneme, s. L. Mack-The weather
continues dry, with heavy west winds.
Lancaster (Antelope Valley, James P.
Ward-The weather for the past week
was clustering and cold. The hills on
the north and west sides OF the valley
are covered with snow, and from the
amount which appears to have fallen on
the mountains, the streams will be we'll
| filled next season. 1t showered on the
10Th and 23d in most parts of the val
ley, with considerable rain in the west
ern extremity.
The Palms, W. D. Curtis-The
the temperature below the average,
which is injurious to feed in pasturage
and sprouting grain.
| West Vernon, S. McKinley-The
weather has been very dry and cool
during the past week. Thursday night
and Friday morning were unusually
cool, but no damage to fruit or trees re-
suited. The vegetable gardens promise
a good yield, and the citrus fruits will
soon be on the market.
| Verdugo, J. G. Sherer-The continued
cool and dry weather is retaidlng all
| farm work. Oranges are ripening rap
idly, but the fruit ia smaller than last
year.
= Los Angeles city. United States weather
bureau, George E. Frankin-A light
rain fell during the night of the 10Th
and Goth, with .06 inch precipitation,
followed by generally clear weather, cool
northerly winds and the temperature
ranging below the normal. The highest
| temperature recorded during the week
was .66, and the lowest .33, whichlwere
.l3 and .04, respectively, less than the
normal. The supply OF peas, tomatoes
and strawberries was deficient in the
local markets on account of the cool
weather.
Pomona, John Wasson-About half
an inch of rain fell on the night of the
10Th, making one inch for the season.
Owing to the lack of rain, bearing or
ange and lemon trees are being irrigat-
ed. Frost appeared every morning for
| the past week, but not severe enough to
iniure trees or fruit. Revised estimates
OF the loss of fruit by the late storm
place it at about 20 per cent of the
whole.
Anaheim, M. Nebelung-The weather
Dho Uetl cACcpb one CLOUDY Udy,
with northeast winds. The beet sugar
factory work is being pushed very earn
estly. and there seems to be no doubt
that the cooperative company will Or
ganize shortly.
Tustin, E. d. Buss The weather re-
mains too dry for ranch work in prepar-
ing the ground for grain. Several frosty
mornings nipped exposed nursery stock.
The temperature on the morning of the
Oath was reported as low as 2S degrees.
No winds of any severity have occurred.
The orange crop is coloring up rapidly.
Covna, George w. Tayloi-The dam
age by last weeks wind was fairly esti-
mated in 6rst report; some portions ,of
the valley suffered more, others less
than when reported. Dry weather and
frost have spoiled our Christmas straw
berries, usually SO plenty in this sec
tion, and tomato and potato vines were
slightly injured the last of the week by
frost.
San Diego City, U. S. weather bu-
reau. M. L. Hearne--Very cool weather
prevailed during the past week, with
light frost on the goth, 2lst and 22d,
which did no injury to vegetation. Cold
and very dry winds prevailed every day.
The rain of the 10Th and Goth did but
little good, as it was so small in amount
and the ground being 20 dry, it was fol.
lowed by very dry wind taking it rap
idly out OF the earth. Citrus fruits are
coming in quite plentifully and of better
quality than the fist lot.
