The past week has been moderately
cool with partly cloudy weather. Free
quent showers have occurred and in
few cases accompanied by hail, which did
some damage.
The frequency of RAIN has made it diff
ficult to harvest crops of grain and
alfalfa. Corn has grown rapidly and is
looking very well. Fruit of all kinds is
in splendid condition and the yield of
apples will be very large.
The stock ranges are in the best posi-
BILE condition and in many places good
crop of gramma grass can be cut for hay.
Stock is in good condition and in few
weeks will be very fat.
The following extracts from a few of
the reports received at this office will be
found of INTEREST,"
Bernalilo.-- Brother Gabriel Heavy
thunder and lightning with high wind
and rain on the 9Th and 9Th, doing some
damage to crops, causing them to dodge
down." Apples this season are very
large in this locality, some measuring
twelve and one-half inches in circumfer-
ence.
Engle.-E. j. Westervelt.-This week
has been cool and dry on the plains, but
there have been thunder storms in the
mountains nearly every day.
Gallinas Springs.-J. T.. Whitmore.-
The past week has been very favorable
for corn and all other crops and grass on
ranges has not been 80 good SINCE 1880.
Las Vegas.-Dr. F. II. Atkins.-This
week also has been damp, therefore crops
are maturing rather slowly. There has
been some damage to alfalfa from the
excessive moisture. Irrigated crops are
exceptionally fine this moist season.
Las Cruces.-New Mexico Agricultural
Colege.-The weather has been some
what cloudy and uniformly warm. We
had light rains, but no hard winds. Plants
are not making so rapid growth, as they
are now maturing. Grapes are ripening,
some varieties give indication of being
troubled with black rot.
Monero.-D. W. Caldwell.-Crops have
made excellent progress during the past
week. The potato crop will be consider
ably better than was expected. Oats and
other small grains are being harvested.
Ocate.-E. NJ. Cosner.-The week has
been cool, cloudy and wet one. Wheat
in the low level places is so tall that it is
being lodged by the light winds which
strike it. Corn is very backward, in fact,
we are having too much rain.
Ranches de Taos.-A. Gusdorf.-An
still it rains! Retarding haying and not
doing much good to crops. We have had
about enough for while. On the 5th we
had a hail storm which lasted about two
minutes; the hail-stones being very large,
did some damage in places, although the
area affected was not large. If the rains
would now cease, wheat and oats would
be ready to harvest IN ten or fifteen days.
Rincon.-C. II. Raitt.-The week has
been warm and some cloudy, with an oc-
casional light shower. The temperature
has been remarkably uniform, particular
ly at night Plant growth of every kind
has been very good.
Santa Fe.-U. S. Weather Bureau.-The
past week has been very favorable for
the growth of all crops. With the excep-
ton of peaches the fruit crop will be the
largest ever grown in the county. Corn
in splendid condition. Frequent showers
make harvesting slow and difficult
Springer. = D. Coughlin. = Generally
cloudy and warm with frequent showers.
Heavy rain and hail on the 10th doing
considerable damage to garden truck,
which had attained excellent Roadway
under the influence of the refreshing
showers.
Watrous.-Dr. E. J. Hailstorms
have been frequent, but doing very little
damage to standing crops. The tenn
perature has been unusually low and
crops are suffering from too much rain
