Prunes are dropping in some sections,

to make an average crop. Peaches are
abundant and of fine quality. Fresno
other fruits are looking we'll, and an ex-

in the last twelve years. The graln-pro-
ducing acreage is large, and the late rains
insured good harvest. The hay crop also
promises to be heavy one, aud is al
ready being cut in the irrigated districts.
With the exception OF apricots the fruit
will yield largely and i'll many places
will require extensive thinning. Around
POrterville the crop of grain, hay and
fruit will be the largest ever known,
while around Tulare City the grain crop
will not be as large as was expected, as
the dry land is suffering from the e4-
cessive heat; the hay crop will be large

damage, but not to any serious amount.
San Bernardino County-Rediands-

from this county promise to give a
heavier crop OF apricots than usual.

fruit is SO far advanced that it is hardly
probable that anything can occur which
will cut the crop shors. The cut-worms
were doing some little damage during
the late cool weather, but no further dam
age is now feared from them since the
hot weather has set in. San Jacinto-
