the fruit crop is generally good. though
apricots will probably be short. The
present weather conditions are unfavor-
able, and injury is likely to result from
continuance of the storms. On some
ranches apricots will be nearly total
failure.
TEHAMA.
RED BLUFF, April THE heavy rain
storm Wednesday did no damage to fruit.
The apricot crop is light. The other
fruit prospects are fine. There will be a
large crop. The wheat crop is light and
not over half crop, caused by lack of
winter sown grain and the drowning out
by wet winter. Grass is plentiful. The
outlook for the wool crop is very fine.
There is not over 80 per cent. in lambs,
owing to heavy storms and the continued
wet spring.
TULARE.
VIsALIA, April Without rain the
grain yield in the county will be the
largest for years, even in sections of the
county noted for failures. The fruit pros
poets are equally good. AS to peaches,
prunes, pears, nectarines and apricots the
yield will be light. There was a light
frost this morning, but not injurious to
fruit. The grain crop will equal that of
1884 and 1885.
YUBA AND SUFFER-.
| MARYsvILLE, April THE usual cereal
yield of Yuba and Suffer Counties is about
| 40, 900 tons. Owing to the high waters
on the lowlands, where the largest crops
are secured as a rule, careful computers
place the total output at about two thirds.
| This is better than was expected after the
winters sowing, and is accounted for by
| the fine stands of wheat and barley on
the higher lands. The fruit crops will be
much larger than usual, save in apricots,
in which there will be less than half a
crop.
WHEATLAND, April deputy Asses
sor Malloch has just come in from a
roundup of the country. Regarding the
grain crop he says: 1.-The grain crop of
Yuba County will be 40 per cent short.
! There is deficit of quarter in acreage
and the balance on shortage is due to I'M
favorable weather. The hay crop will be
larger and of good quality. The Wheat
land hop yards are in fine shape and a
| full crop is assured"
YoLo.
| DAvIsvILLE, April THE crop out
look on the plains is fully up to the aver
age, but owing to the overflows along the
tule margin the acreage is somewhat less
than the average. The fruit crop promises
to be unusually large in all varieties.
WOODLAND, April THE continued
wet weather has prevented the sowing of
| -, kI,,e
siderable grain has been drowned out.
The prospects are good for an average
yield. Fruit and grapes promise big
crop.
CALAVERAS.
MILTON, April THE grain acreage is
about the same as last year. Grain is
making slow growth. The late rains and
cool weather will bring out the late-sown
grain, which is in a healthy condition,
and it will yield fair crop. Fruit trees
are budding we'll, with prospect of a
good yield.
SACRAMENTO.
The crop outlook in Sacramento Coun-
ty as reported at present shows the sea-
son to be several weeks, if not a month,
behind, in consequence of which very lit
tie can be said of the prospects, although
everything points to most prosperous
season for the fruit crop, and also for
hops, and, In fact, for all products grown
in this vicinity. Grain, however, was
little sown, in consequence of the weather
keeping the ground soaked so late.
Oregon and Washington.
PORTLAND orr, April 7. - Advices
from all the grain-growing sections Of
Oregon and Washington show that the
season is at least three weeks later than
the average, though the prospects o.
good crops are excellent. The acreage in
almost every grain-growing county will
be increased over last season. In the
Willamette Valley fall-sown grain, O
which there is much larger acreage
