Abundant Harvests Predicted by the Official
Reports.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The official
agricultural bulletin for May, issued by
the department to-day, says Of California:
The winter was the most favorable one for
cultivation and planting experienced for the
last ten years. Though the season was
somewhat dry in the early fall, c0piOus
rains in November put the ground in ex-
cellent working order. Graiu-sowing, plant
ing Of fruit trees aud vines could have gone
on all winter without interruption except in
q few sections in the south where some
foods occurred. Gentle aud plentiful rains
within the past few weeks have advanced
the crops, and never, perhaps, have they
looked better than this season. The same
may be said Of the pastures. There is 10
many counties a tendency to plant more
fruit trees and vines and less grain,
while in q few increased acreage
haszbecn sown in wheat. Generally
speaking the former pTedoninateS in sOme
sections to such IN extent that many fear
an OyerpTOduCtiOn OF raisiuS IN few years.
Millions of these vines have been planted
during he past winter. Olives also are plant
ed largely, while nuts If various kinds eSpe-
cialiy almonds and Walnuts, rank next with
figs and pTunes. Citrus culture has also ad-
vanctd rapidly, and the area Of these fruits
has been largely extended, as many OF the
more EOTthern counties have proved by
actual experiment that as ine Favored ana
bright fruit can be produced there as in the
southern districts. Ia this bulletin il long
article on the cultivation Of ramie, quoting
cOpi0uSly from Professor H. gIrd's report
on this industry.
