GRAIN AND FRUITS.
Their Condition as Shown by the Last
Weekly Reports.
Cereal Crops About All Harvested
The Warm Spell a Week Ago
Was Good for Fruit.

somewhat warmer than during the pre-
vious week, while the outlook is about
the samoa good yield of barley and hay
and a fair yield of wheat.
The fruit crop will be short of the
average. Bartlett pears, peaches, nectar
ines and other fruits are being shipped
daily in carloads TO the East.
The weather has been generally cloud
less throughout the interior valleys of
the State and more or less foggy and
cooler near the coast. A slight sprinkle
of rain was reported from Tehama and
Butte Counties.
Inc number of crop correspondents is
constantly decreasing, owing to the fact
that the grain crops are all secured and
the fruit crops are being rapidly har-
vested.
The well-known fact that the climatic
conditions of California remain nearly
the same from now until October leaves
little OF interest for the correspondents to
report. hence the failure of nearly half
the regular number of bulletins.
