Director Barwick of the California
Weather Service, in his crop report for
the week ending August 10Th, summar-
ICES as follows:
The average weekly temperature was !:
San Francisco 540, Eureka So, Red Bluff
so, Sacramento 720, Fresno SO0, Los An
geles So and San Diego 64o. AS COM
pared with the normal temperatures, a

grape ana hop-picking will be pretty
well advanced, but Will not reach its
maximum point for couple of weeks or
more.
Fruit is being dried as fast as possible,
although il is somewhat delayed in the
coast districts on account Of foggy morn

TO show the peculiarities of our climate,
it is noted at San Leandro, Alameda
County, that the first ripe tomatoes this
season were picked this week, while in
the interior valleys further removed from
the coast tomatoes have been in market
for several weeks.
The same can be said of grain. for in
the far northern counties of Modoc and
Siskiyou harvesting is still being carried
on, ali of which show the wonderful and
varied climatic conditions OF this State,
which peculiar conditions give us the
great variety of productions that are to be
noted in all the branches of our agricult-
ural industries.
