trace in the valley. Some snow in the
mountains yet. Plenty of water in the
bitches. Hot days with high winds are
the general order and all vegetation is

the second crop, where irrigated, is show
ing signs of a heavy crop. Vegetation
is beginning to suffer for moisture as we
have had no rain and there is no water
in the bitches or river. Prospects are
very poor. No fruit to amount to any
thing

hot, dry week with high wind on the hot
test day. Crops without irrigation al

badly hindered between lessening water
for irrigation and the hot dry wind. No
grass started on ranges yet.
