Evergreen-Fruit prospects better
than it has been for three years past;
there will be a large crop of apricots
and also of grapes; grain looks good
considering the drying north winds
which have blown for some time; high
est and lowest temperatures IS de-
grees and 80 degrees.
Near San Jose-Dry weather, with
much north wind is taking the sur
face moisture out Of the ground; prunes
are dropping badly; will take two or
three weeks to determine what the crop
will be; black cherries set light while
the white ones have set we'll; highest
and lowest temperatures So degrees and
80 degrees.
San Jose-Prunes are dropping to a
considerable extent; whether it will
amount to more than a necessary thin
ming is yet too early to determine; pros
poets are not so 1attering as they We're
ten days ago; other fruits looking we'll;
good rain would benefit wheat bar
ley and oats.
Los Gatos-Cherries a good crop;
peaches about medium; apricots
(Moorparks) full crop; Blenheims
and Royals all light for the first time;
pears full crop; prunes are dropping
badly that is a little more than usual;
there will be light crop in some
places and fair crop in others, while
on the whole there will be about an
average crop.
SAN BENITO.
Tres Pinos-CropS are not half so dry
as reported but rain would do a great
amount of good just at the present
time; some have already began cutting
hay.
Hollister-The continued dry wealth
er is causing great injury to the wheat
and barley crop: the hay crop will be
large in the HOLSTER and San Juan
Valleys but will be short in the Pan
oche Valley and in the southern part
of the county; highest and lowest tenn
peratures 81 degrees and 81 degrees.
SAN JOAQUIN.
Lodi-Weather cool most of the week
with heavy dews which was favorabl
| to most crops though wheat, barley
and oats need rain; melon planting is
over and some fields are up with 6
good stand and their cultivation now
going on; all fruit progressing we'll; or
|
| light frost in low places but no dam
age done; highest and lowest tempera
lures 50 degrees and SO degrees.
| New Hope-Grain is looking fairly
well; wheat and barley is good; a:
yet the dry weather has not materially
done any damage; fruit trees promise
an abundant yield; all have made {
| good growth the past week; highes
and lowest temperatures So degrees anC
Al degrees.
| Stockton-The cooler weather ant
heavy dews have done much to coun
teract the effect of the hot north winds
grain has improved very much bu
needs rain.
| CALAVERAS.
| Milton-The weather but for absence
of rain has been very favorable fol
grain and fruit; grapes give appearance
of large crop; for all fruits no rar
is needed, but grain cannot do wei
without it; highest and lowest tempera
lures 50 degrees and IS degrees.
| STANISLAUS.
| Crows Lan6ing-North winds have
| dried out the ground badly; summer
| fallowed grain is standing the drough
very well, but winter-sown wheat i:
rapidly succumbing to the injurious eff

| late-sown grain would do very lttl,
good now; there will not be much Owe
half crop raised here.
