on barley; highest and lowest tempera-
lures 80 degrees and "a degrees.
Trask-In the Pearson District the
crop of peaches, apricots, pears, cher
ries and plums will be quite large, as
the young trees will bear for the first
time; the land between the trees is
planted to beans and potatoes, the crop
of which will be quite large; near the
orchards are large yields of barley, SUI
acres of which will be harvested during
| the coming week by means of a steam
combined harvesting machine; as soon
as the crop is harvested the ground will
J be prepared for resolving; to those un-
acquainted with the productiveness of
tule lands this may seem strange, but it
| is a fact that two crops of barley can
| be raised during one season.
| Sacramento-The rainfall during Sat
urday night and Sunday amounted TO
| GA of an inch, which was not enough to
| lay the dust for an hour, and no dam
age whatever has been done TO crops OF
grain or fruit in this county; barley
| harvesting is going on and the yield Is
fair one; the wheat yield will also be
fair; haying was completed before the
showers and was secured from damage;
| fruit is going forward in great quanti-
/ ties and in better shape than few
weeks ago; highest and lowest temper
atures SO degrees and 30 degrees.

what interfered with the work of the
| farmer and fruit-grOwer.

drying has begun; grasshoppers are do
ing considerable damage to clover
weather cool and cloudy.
Capay-The varieties of fruit III
which the yield will not be heavy this
season will furnish some compensation
in quality.
Madison-Harvesting still continues
| and the Yields are disappointing III
some cases and agreeable in others, on
the whole the outcome will not be sc
| bad.
| Dayisville-Grain is turning out bet
ter than expected, though the crop VIII
fall short 30 per cent. of an average
and in all cases it is below the standard
in quality.
Harvest Home-Fruit drying has
fairly commenced in this locality and
viii be at full tide next week. The coo
weather, while holding back the fruit
from ripening for green shipments, has
| benefited the dryers, as it is maturing
better and promises to be of an aver
age size.
Rumsey-The orchards of this val
! ley will make quite a showing this
| season. the trees are we'll set with
| fruit and good fruit, too. AS far as
| can be learned all fruit is smaller than
| that of former years. Nearly all the
/ apricot crop of this valley will be dried
! this season. Hay and grain crops in
| this section are extremely short this
year; the crop yield in Berryessa valley
! is better than was anticipated.
| Tremont-Harvesting began with a
| rush last week, but as the weather
! changed some of the farmers discover
| ed that they were rather previous as
| the grain had not thoroughly ripened
and harvesting was rather difficult.
LAKE.
| Upper Lake-Decidedly cooler wealth
er with showers has helped making
grain and done no harm to that which
was ripe; fruit is ripening slowly and
will not be much earlier than usual;

not appear to be very thrifty; highest
and lowest temperatures 80 degrees

NAPA
ST. Helena-The rains of the week
have been very beneficial to the corn;
| the grape crop is the best in years,
the berries are large and we'll set; all
other fruits are doing well.
SONOMA
Bennett VafIey-The north winds
have somewhat affected the young
vines and the growing crops of this To-
cality.
Healdsburg-Crops are doing very
! we'll at present as the rain has done
| but little if any damage in this imme-
diate vicinity Highest and lowest
! temperatures SO degrees and 40 de-
! grees.
SANTA CLARA.
Santa Clara-Orchardist are prepar-
| ing for a great rush when apricots rip
en-: it is doubtful whether sufficient
help can be found in the valley to save
| the crop should it ripen very rapidly:
! the work of harvesting the second or
| third crop of alfalfa, north of town,
! is in progress, and the crop is turning
out we'll
! San Jose-The week has been cool
| and favorable to the cherry crop as
| they ripen slow and are firmer; the
| cool weather is very favorable to the
prune crop also; but there is much dry
| ing winds each day, and the want of
moisture in the earth is the only draw
back in this section to fruit at the
present time; no material harm has
been done to grain or fruit by the un-
usual June showers; highest and low
est temperatures 81 degrees and AZ de-
| grees.
SAN BENITO.
Hollister-The barley crop is now be-
ing harvested: barley will turn out
quite well, in the San Joaquin Valley
! it will be an exceedingly heavy crop;
| the apple crop is a light one, as the
Goblin moth is doing great injury to
apples, ounces and pears; there will
be fair crop of Bartlett pears, but
the winter nelis viii not yield more
than one-half a crop; prunes are better
than expected earlier in the year; high
est and lowest temperatures IS degrees
and 43 degrees
SAN JOAQUIN.
Lodi-The cool and cloudy weather
| has been very favorable to all crops
| and wheat is filling out quite we'll; bar
ley harvest goes slow as weather is not
good for harvesting; yield will not bt
an average one; apricots and peaches
are ripening, some peaches being ship
ped: the crop is only a fair one; second
| crop of alfalfa is being cut and is {
good one; Weather is too cool for the
