Week ending April 20, 1893.
During the past week the tempera-
ture averaged a little above the normal.
On the 21st and 22nd copious showers
occurred in many localities, putting
everything in better shape. The rain
fall was very %unevenly distributed and
the heaviest was in the northern part.
In some localities considerable iail fell
but the hailstoues we're small and did
no damage. There was less sunshine
than last week, but all that was needed
to make good growth. All crops have
made excellent progress and are now In
good condition. Planting is nearly COM
pleted and small grains are making very
satisfactory erowths.
Fruit trees are in splendid condition
and are now considered past all danger
from late frosts. There is an abundance
Of water for irrigation and plenty Of
snow left in the mountains to keep up
the supply for several weeks.

tied by showers during the week have
made rapid improvement and are look

very dry. Stock is generally in good
condition.
