cherries and prunes dropping badly;
highest and lowest temperatures, 81 and
A degrees.
Santa Rosa-Prunes and canning
peaches have been cut down to one
fourth of crop in Analy township, and
fruit growers in Green Valley and about
Peachland and Forestville report the
same condition.; the outlook for berries
and early peaches-Muir, Alexander and
Hale's early-is good; they need thin
ming; pears show blight; early apples
promise a good crop. The Secretary of
the County Horticultural Society says
of his own orchard in East Santa Rosa:
Almonds very full; apples all right with
promise of a good crop for early va
rieties; cherries full crop; peaches light;
and pears show blight; prunes are fall
ing very fast and it is simply impossible
to give even an approximate estimate.
