weather is warm and the prospects are
excellent. In the southern part of the
county the outlook is especially good
both for crops and fruit of all kinds.
| About the usual acreage is planted, and
no complaint is heard from any. Feed is
plentiful ON the ranges and the stock
men are happy.
MENDoCINo, May 6-The late showers
| TO great extent insure an abundant crop
of hay and grain, which will, however,
as usual, only partially supply the local
demand in this lumber region.
| BAKERSFIELD, May S.-Crops of all
kinds in this county, including grain,
vegetables and fruits of all kinds, We're
never better and promise the largest
tlcularly in the Tehachapi Valley, is un-
usually large.
! OAKDALE, May 6.-The outlook for
grain crops from Pennington to Mont
pellier, on the line of the Oakdale extern
sion to Merced, is fattering. Summer
| failowed and early winter sown wheat
are heading out The late winter-sown
needs rain, owing to the large acreage.
| More grain will be harvested in this sec
ton than ever before. With another
| shower and cool weather, the late winter
sown will yield a good crop. Fruits are
doing fine. 1t has commenced raining,
with prospects for an all-night rain.
SAN LUIS OBIsPo, May 6.-The phe-
nomenal grain yield probable in this
county this year may reach three times
the heaviest previous production. The
| acreage sown is at least double, and on
account of the very favorable character of
the season, full and fortunately distri-
buted rainfall, the verdict from all sec
tions is that crops never looked half as
well. With fair prices it will be grandly
successful year for our farmers.
SAN REPN Nav q onroc
are grown to grain this season in San
! BernardinO County than ever before
mostly barley and some wheat. The
rainfall has been above the average and
timely, and most of the barley crops will
make good grain. Some will be cut for
hay, little of which will be light The
| yield OF the grain crop on an average will
be the best ever raised in this county
The prospects are good for very large
and fine deciduOuS and citrus crop this
coming season.
ELMIRA, May 6.-The acreage of wheat
is above the average of both summer-fal-
low and winter-sOWn. The quality will
probably be about an average. Hay is
light.
SANTA BARBARA, May 6.-There is but
little grain raised in the immediate vi
cinity of Santa Barbara. Barley hay is
being cut in many places, and the crop is
large and of good quality. The outlook
for fruit, especially apricots, was never
better. A large acreage in beans has
been planted. In Santa Ynez Valley
nearly every foot is in grain this year. 1t
is in fine condition and will Weld a
heavy crop. The same is true of all the
northern part of the county. Everything
promises prosperous year for the farm
ers.
SAN DIEGO, May 6.-,The farmers of
this county are well pleased at the out
look of the grain crop. The rains have
been well timed, no back-set has oc-
CURED, and the acreage is largely in
creased this year over all the previous
history of the county. Extensive irriga-
ton systems have resulted in reclaiming
large sections OF mesas, and since Jan
uary 1st more citrus trees have been
planted than during any two years be-
fore, with the demand still greater than
the nurserymen can supply. The Horti-
cultural Inspector reports the trees
healthy and free from scale or other para
sites.
| Los ANGELES, May 6.-The outlook
Tor grain was never better in this sec
ton. The late rains did a great deal of
good, and unless some unforeseen
trouble arises there will be an average
crop at least. Barley is now in milk
and presents fine appearance.
NOT so PROMISING.
MODESTO, May 6.-The crop outlook in
Stanislaus County is not as promising as
1t was two weeks ago, owing to the con-
tinued dry weather and north winds.
The growing grain is now in need of
rain, and what promised to be the big
geSt yield in the history of the county
will be reduced greatly if the rain does
not come soon. Summer wheat is most
in need of moisture. The acreage is the
largest ever sown.
FRESNO, May 6.-The cereal crop will
be generally light, owing to lack of rain.
The fruit crop will be heavy. Grapes
promise big yield. Rain would help
the grain some.
for Tulare County is very slim. The
toothill belt will produce only half a
crop, south of the Tule River only hay
and west of the railroad and south of
Tulare City nothing. The irrigated dis
tricts have fair crop.
MERGED, May 6.-The prospects are
good for over an average crop all over
Merced County. Your reporter inter
viewed farmers from Smelling, also from
the west side to-day, and all said: "We
are safe so far. Our grain is doing we'll,
but steady north winds for several days
would hurt us. Up to date the northers
have been cool and have done no damage
to grain, which looks splendidly.''
MADEIRA, May 6.-There is a generally
Fresno County. There has been an abun-
dance of rain to insure crops, but it did
not come at the right time. Summer
tallowed land will produce a remunera-
! tive yield of grain, while the late plow-
ing. will not average half crop. Much
grain will be cut for hay. The warm
weather and high northwest winds are
drying the grain fast. Rain now will do
but little good.
lone, May 6.-Most of the farmers say
that crops in Jackson Valley and on Dry
Creek are very short, and will not be as
at first anticipated, although there is
about one-quarter more acreage than in
! former years. The shower to-day will be
OF great benefit to all growing crops.
BIGGs, May 6.-The summer-fallowed
adobe land is looking well. Barley looks
well. Scarcely field in the section but
will be foul, and only fair yield ex-
pected on account of the late rains, which
delayed the sowing.
BETHANY, May 6.-The outlook for
grain is very poor in this locality. A
| few small pieces of summer-fallowed
| ground will yield about half a crop. An
winter plowing is a total failure. On an
average not more than one-fourth of the
ground seeded will be cut for either grain
or hay.
! TURLoCK, May 6.-The crop outlook in
this section is not very tlattering. Sum-
mer-fallowed grain is looking fine, and
is far enough along to assure a good
crop. But the winter sown is suffering
some for want of rain. Some are cutting
it for hay already, fearing it will not
mature. The indications tonight are
very favorable for rain.
GOSHEN, May Con the heavy damp
| lands the wheat sown in December and
January is showing fine crop: Some of
| the February sowing on submerged land
