warm wave has caused grass to turn quite
brown. Hay cutting is about over and
the yield is good. Corn is looking we'll,
but owing 10 rains last month it is quite
small. Grapes as general thing are not
setting well. Hops are doing extremely
well. Wild black berries will be in sea-
son next week. Santa Rosa-Peaches are
not nearly as plentiful as last year. Some
late Crawford trees bear in clusters and

any on them. The Muir is the

with a full crop well distributed
and requiring general thinning out.

travels toward the mouth Of the canal,
and in this extreme southern end very
/ little is found. The conclusion arrived at
! by wheat-growers is that the rust is the
result of excessive moisture in the
ground, accompanied by unusually hot
weather Dinuba-Grain rust Is reported
! from all parts of the district and is vari-
ously estimated as being very bad to
very light. Doubtless some fields are
badly affected, but much the larger part

grain had 10 be cut for hay in order to
save it. approximately Gather fine for

favorable for the crops; the high winds
