est and lowest temperatures 104 and 60
degrees.
Sacramento-Hay about all secured
and is a pretty fair crop: barley har-
vest has commenced and wheat harvest
will soon begin; fruit is being shipped
East in large quantities; highest and
lowest temperatures "a and 81 degrees.
Arno-The hot weather of the early
part Of the week rapidly ripened the
wheat and barley and all are preparing
for harvesting next week; the general
outlook it that there viii not be more
than half a crop of grain; hay making
is over, and the amount produced is
very moderate, as farmers will not have
more than enough for their own use.
YOLO.
Dunnigan-Farmers are complaining
that the wheat is SO damp that they
cannot get TO work early enough in the
morning; the outlook is good for more
than half crop in this section.
Davisville-Grain still holds out
bravely against the north winds and
there will be some very fine fields in
this section; hay crop is a short one.
SOLANO.
Observation-Disclosures ELECTED from the
various grain producing localities in
this vicinity indicates that the barley
crop will fall short about one half on
the Dixon ridge while on the adobe,
about One-third of a crop will be real
lied; on the low lands the stand will
not pay to harvest; as a rule the sum-
mer fallow wheat on the ridge will
yield something more than an average
crop of good quality; there is little
wheat on the adobe lands; harvesting
has commenced in earnest and the
farmers are all very busy.
LAKE.
Upper Lake-The unusually warm
weather seems to have done no harm
as early grain is we'll filed and the
late grain has not yet headed out; some
grain has been cut and the best fields
have only an average crop; a great
deal of it will not be worth cutting
even for hay; fruit is doing we'll and
grapes look better than they have for
years at this season; highest and low
est temperatures 80 and 81 degrees.
NAPA.
Napa-Highest and lowest tempera-
lures, 104 and 4S degrees; late cherries
good and yield will be large; prunes
good in some places and poor in others;
the same can be said of peaches, pears,
almonds, apricots, etc.; grapes never
looked better; potatoes and corn doing
well; hay and grain crops light.
Rutherford-The foggy mornings of
the past few days have greatly bene-
fitted the corn crop and Will help the
grain to fill out in better shape.
SONOMA
Sonoma-Cherries have been yielding
so much better than it was expected
that it has been very difficult to Sc
cure experienced pickers; there will be
an enormous crop of apricots to market
next month; apples are making a good
showing, and grapes will be a bonanza
crop and readily command good prices;
Bartlett pears will be a light crop. but
of large size and look better than they
have for years; we have in the Sonoma
Valley fruit crop above the avera ge;
the weather has been generally cool at
night with fog in the morning, which
was most favorable to cherries that
were ripening; highest and lowest tenn
peratures, "a and 80 degrees
Freestone- Considerable hay is down,
and corn and potatoes require atten-
ton at the present time
Dry Creek ValIey-The extremely hot
weather Of the previous week with
north winds damaged grapes that were
just getting out of bloom to a more
or less extent, but varieties that were
farther advanced with the berries well
set are so far hurt but very little; the
hay crop is a light one, although the
quality is a good one
Windsor-The north winds did much
damage to raspberries.
HealdSburg-All fruits are looking
we'll, but the berry crop was somewhat
injured by the hot wave; highest and
lowest temperatures, 90 and 45 de-
grees.
CONTRA COSTA.
Danville-Hay about all cut, cured
and in the stack; nearly all fields are
having light crop, although there will
be plenty for home use and some to
spare; if cool weather will prevail for
a week or more the quality Of the bar
ley will be extra good, which is just
now at the critical stage and may be
made very light feed or very heavy
brewing barley by the condition of the
weather for the coming week.
ALAMEDA
San Leandro-The weather has been
quite favorable for hay making; cur
rants are plentiful and in good order;
cherry picking is nearly over; corn
needs rain in some places.
SANTA CLARA
Near San Jose-Weather has been
rather above the normal temperature;
berries have. ripened too fast and are
soft, while the work of picking has to
be rushed; prunes are holding their
own, and if there is no more dropping
there will be probably half a crop;
peaches average crop and are doing
we'll; plums and apricots a large yield
as is also grapes; haying is about done
and yield is a light one; highest and
lowest temperature, 81 and 4S de-
greeS.
