thus far this season has been much more
favorable than usual to growing crops
and everything points to heavy yield OF
both fruit and grain. Tuesday mig hit was

we're this season has yet had. 1t was not
4 seriously damaging.
Lassen County-Surprise Valley-The
recent cold snap damaged fruit in this vi
clnlty much more than was first thought.
The cherry, peach, plum and apricot
appear to be more injured than any of
the rest. However, the trees were un-
usually heavily loaded and quite a lot of
the above fruit will be raised. The apple
and pear crop will be good if no more
frosts occur. AT Bidwell almost all of
the fruit was destroyed or badly dam
aged. Susanville-The frosts of the week
have caused no injury and the prospects
for heavy fruit crop are very encourag-
ing.
Siskiyou County-Ager-The prospects
for an average crop are good; the cold
weather has retarded the growth of ten
der garden truck; highest and lowest
temperatures, 70' and $50. Yreka-
Weather still cold and unfavorable; the
heavy and continuous frosts make the
fruit harvest an absolutely unknown
quantity; the alfalfa has been frozen IN
til the loss will be considerable; highest
and lowest temperatures, $50 and 80.
Scott River-Crops are looking splendid
and fruit will be exceedingly plentiful
Shasta County-Burney Valley-The
prospects are fair for large hay crop;
heavy frost on the 18th, good weather for
hay but bad for gardening. Shasta-The
heavy rain and high winds during the
fore part of the week have done consider
cured, standing grass and grain, also
fruit, by being knocked from the trees;
total rainfall for week, 1.93 inches.
Lake Congratulated - The cool
weather and May showers have done
much to promote the growth aud green
ness OF the country and to delay hay
making in proportion. Very little now
ing had been done and consequently no
damage of any great amount has resulted.
The temperature was SO low for several
days that frost was feared, but the clouds
continued to overhang the country until
the mercury went up and all danger past.
PIumas -(luincy-From sew
eral Indian Valley parties in Quincy
few days ago it is learned that the heavy
frosts which killed SO much fruit in
American Valley did not affect the fruit
in either Indian or Genessee Valley, and
that if not injured in the future by
heavy frost or a freeze the crop of fruit
will be large, considering the number of
acres in trees.
Placer County - Auburn - The rain
injured the cherries and berries. 1t
caught lot of hay down and some will
be bleached ont and spoiled. This holds
good for the lower portion of this county,
but in the Newcastle region the damage
is slight, owing to the fact that straw
berries and early cherries were about all
harvested and the later fruits were bene-
flied. Penryn-The first peaches were
shipped on the 9th. Rocklin-Good
week for all kinds of crops; hay very
little damaged by rain; highest and
lowest temperatures, $50 and 90
Amador County-Drytown-M of
the volunteer and grass hay in this vi
cinity has been hauled in; some barley
has been cut which was out in the last
rain. but has not been damaged any,
Calaveras County-Mokelu Hill
The rains did some damage to cut hay
and cherries that were ripe. Murpbys-
The rain caught but little hay down, and
the damage in this vicinity will be slight.
Mariposa -Mariposa-A heavy
fall of snow in the Miami region was an
unusual occurrence on Monday, the 9th.
Fruit is not injured yet, but orchardists
are uneasy lest late frosts will work much
damage
Inyo County-Independ has
been the weather for several days past.
