THE CROPS.
The fruit crop in this section never
looked better than at present. The late
rains, combined with cool weather, gave
the trnit splendid chance to fill out,
while the warm weather, which has
now set in, will ripen it at rapid rate.
There will be a heavy yield in both
apricots and peaches. which constitute
the bulk of the output. Small fruit will
also be abundant. Owing to the scarcity
OF the eastern crop prices will range
high. Not much buying has been done
done yet except in apricots, which are
commanding excellent prices, with
oR prospects of farther advance. Alter
Go all the cry which has been made about
2 the scarcity of hay this season, the out
II put in this section will come very near
vi the average and, with the old hay still
,e, on hand, it would seem that the present
- rates will be lower before they are
y, higher.
