SAN JACINTO, March S.-A drive
about the San Jacinto valley verifies the
reports of large acreage sown to grain
this season, and that the crop looks finer
tnan tor many years. Among those who
nave the largest acreage In wheat and
barley are Ed Mead, who has something
over 1000 acres; the Kerrs, on the Ales-
sandro tract; "Alkali" Clark, between
Hemet and Winchester; A. L. Creider.
of San Jacinto. who has several acres
In on his home place and large acreage
east of Perris. Thomas Hudson also has
sown largely to grain, besides he has
one of the finest deciduous fruit orchards
In the valley, which promises bounti-
ful yield. There are large number OF
others who have in from so to 500 acres
in grain, making an aggregate of fully
10000 acres within a few miles of this,
the second town in Importance in the
county. The beauty of most of this land
is that water Is so near the surface of
the ground that with an ordinary amount
of rain during the rainy season the
ground retains the moisture necessary
to mature the crops of grain and fruit.
The interest In mining still holds place.
and in addition to some well paying
mines being continually operated a large
number of claims are being taken. The
heavy snow in the San Jacinto mountains
has, however. delayed work in many Of
the mines and prevented prospecting al
most entirely in some localities. Dan
