Vegetation has made steady advance
ment during the past week. Light local
showers occurred throughout the central
portion of the territory, and the report
from Winsor's ranch shows 80 of an
inch of rainfall, which was the heaviest
for the week.
Cereals are being rapidly harvested in
the southern portions of tie Rio Grande
valley. June apples, early Crawford
peaches, apricots, cherries, blhckberrles
and Strawberries are abundantly supplied
to the markets, and the quality of the
fruit is excellent; and In the lower Pecos
valley native white potatoes, also sweet
potatoes, are to be had.
With the exception of the southwestern
portions, where rain is still badly needed,
and some cattle reported dying from the
effects of the drouth, the prospects are
favorable for the improvement of range
cattle. The stock ranges on an average
are in good condition, and were i'm
proved by the light showers during the
middle of the week.
