HOW THEY LOOK IN VARIOUS
LOCALITIES.
The Weekly Crop Bulletin of Southern
California-Everyth Looking Well,
Though Hay Was Slightly Injured.

Los Angeles, George E. Franklin !:
Cool, generally cloudy weather pre-
vailed during the first part of the week,
causing daily deficiency of 3.7 degrees
in temperature; the latter part was
warm and clear. the thermometer on
Friday registering S5 degrees.
Hueneme, S. L. Macks: Beans on
sandy soil were greatly injured by high
winds on May S1st.
Lompoc, @. B. Hughston: The hay
crop will be large. The wind has done
some damage to the barley and wheat
crop, but not serious. The fruit crop
will be good from present indications.
Verdugo, J. G. Sherer: The warm
weather is drying up the natural grass
rapidly, which will result in scarcity of
feed, as compared with the boun tiful
supply of the past two weeks. Fruit
growers are busy irrigating citrus trees
and small fruits. Budded orange trees
have set heavy crop. Deciduous fruits,
light crop generally, except few va
rieties of peaches and Bartlett pears.
Pomona college, Claremont, Prof.
Frederick Starr. The week was cool and
cloudy, except the last two days, which
were warm and pleasant. The tempera-
ture on the 4th was 80 degrees; the
lowest for the week was As degrees.
Rainfall .02 inches. Hay and straw
berries were somewhat injured by rain
and cool weather. Fruits and vegeta-
bles are doing we'll in this immediate
neighborhood.
Redlands, Scipio Craig. Cut hay was
slightly injured by rain on June 1st.
Weather cloudy up to Wednesday noon,
when it cleared. Fruit crop in good con-
dition. Cherries are ripening in the
Yucaipe valley: will be in market the
coming week; yield will be good and of
excellent quality.
Riverside, W. E. Keith: The tenn
perature for May was 81 degrees below
the average for the past ten years. The
hay and grain crops have been secured
with but little damage. Cool, cloudy
weather has prevailed for the past ten
days.
Anaheim, M. Nebelung: The early
part OF the week was cool and cloudy,
the last two days bright and warm.
Fruits need warm, sunny weather to
mature.
Santa Ana, H. A. Peabody: Fruit
growing nicely. Orange trees, especially
the budded, will yield enormously
Grain is filling nicely, and the yield will
be above the average. TIE hay crop is
immense.
Tustin, G. D. Buss: The weather has
gradually been growing warmer and
clearer, and is all that could be desired
at present, both for harvesting grain
and promoting the growth of vegetation
in general.
Julian, w. A. Sickler: The cold, rainy
weather that prevailed throughout the
month of May seems to have cleared up,
and we now have prospects of fine
weather. The rainfall for May was 3.05
inches. which with the cool weather, re.
tarded the growth of cherries and early
fruits. Young orchards were benefited.
The hay crop was not injured, as the
volunteer hay is just ripening. Reports
from the coast state that the crop was
greatly damaged.
National City, Arthur H. Wood:
Grain is all harvested; olive buds are
setting and promise a large yield.
Highest temperature, II degrees; low
est, 81 degrees. Two days of sunshine
occurred.
Campo, A.C. Gaskill: The weather
has been unusually cold and cloudy,
with light, misty rain for three or four
days, which has rusted the wheat crop
somewhat and retarded the maturing of
vegetables. GEORGE E.. FRANKLIN,
Observer in Charge,
