WEATHER AND CROPS
Conditions Prevailing Throughout
Southern California


Following is the United States depart
ment OF agriculture climate and crop SER
vice weather bureau weekly crop bull
letln for Southern California: Warmer
weather prevailed the past week, with
some cloudiness, occasional coast fogs in
the mornings and light rains on the 10th
and 18th, which were insufficient to do
good, except in a measure to retard the
evaporation of the surface moisture. The
lack of the usual winter rains is becoming
seriously felt as the soil is becoming very
dry. Flowing has stopped, and while
growing grain is doing fairly well, it is
very backward, and will not be able to
stand the draught much longer The hills
continue green, but the grass is of light
stand. Irrigating orchards is general, with
the bitches running full of water. The
warmer weather is causing fruit trees to
push out growth and apricot and peach
trees are beginning to bloom; some almond
trees are in full bloom.
CORRESPONDENTS REPORTS:
SAN LUIS OBISPO
No rain fell during the week, but the
general weather conditions were favorable.
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
Carpinteria-The first part of the week
was warmer than the latter portion.
VENTURA COUNTY
Ell Rio-There was no damage to crops
from wind or frost Growing barley in
the low lands is in good condition, but in
the hills it shows the lack of moisture.
West Saticoy-About everything is at a
standstill on account of deficient rainfall.
LOS ANGELES COUNTY
The week was fair, warmer and rain
less, except on the morning of the 18th,
when a misting drizzle fell, which was of
no benefit. Rain is badly needed for all
purposes.
Fairmont-The ground is too dry for
blowing; grain is coming up; is not in
jured any yet, but is very backward. Gull
tivation of orchards generally suspended
for lack of rain.
Artesia-Saturday was cloudy and Sun
day murky, with rain in the morning
to 33-10O of an inch. Farmers
have pulled their plows out of the ground
and are watching the weather for rain
Verdugo-Many orchardists are taking
advantage of free water to irrigate de-
ciduous orchards. The bulk of oranges
are still on trees as the fruit here is COM
late.
Pomona-There were several cloudy days
the past week, but only a light drizzling
rain fell. The ground is still moist, and
crops are doing well, but without more
rain cannot hold out much longer.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY
Elsinore-The correspondent remarks:
Good bye, rain
Tustin-The latter part of the week was
clear; with some fog. Grain is generally
in good condition, but on adobe land will
soon need rain. Orchards under ditch are
being thoroughly irrigated. Orange ship
ments continue.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY
San Diego City-Traces of rain did no
good except to prevent continued drying
of the soil.
Santee-El Cajon-The weather has
been quite changeable the past week, with
strong indications of rain on Wednesday
and Thursday, but none fell, hence the
ground continues to get dryer and growing
grain begins to look badly.

A New Chairman

RIVERSIDE. Feb. pat a meeting of
the Democratic central committee held
Monday night w. F. Bray of Perris, one of
the most prominent Democrats of the coun-
ty, was elected to the position of chairman
to take the place of E. J. Davis, who sent
in his resignation. A vote of thanks was
rendered Mr.. Davis for the good work he
has done for the party in the county In
the past. Mr.. Davis resignation was due
to the fact that he intends starting for the
Klondike shortly. Mr.. Bray, the new
chairman, is an active man in the party
and during the last county campaign did
much toward securing the election of the
men of the party who now hold office here.
The Democratic party never was in better
harmony in this county than now. and
the good record of the party's men in
office here will do much toward aiding the
party to make clean sweep when the next
election occurs

It Was Not Suicide

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 22.-There
was hurrying to and fro at the Southern
hotel about midnight, or soon after, Sun
day night, as the alarm was sounded that
Mrs. A. M. Bushnell, who has charge of
the dining room and resides in the hotel
with her husband, had committed suicide.
The police were notified and were promptly
on hand. The doctor was brought from his
bed. and, with stomach pump and other ac-
cessories, rushed to save the unfortunate.
Shrieks from the frenzied woman rent the
air, and all was confusion. The doctor first
put down an opiate and was about to bring
into play the pump, when the discovery was
made that 1t was only a case of Mysteries.
and the crowd dispersed, the opiate took
effect, and the house was still again.

The short day in the stock market
Yesterday was in no way different from
those that had preceded 1t, except that
there was perhaps not SO much realiZ-
ing. There was no snap and no buy
ing by any other thani the same inter-
ests that have been in, the market for
some days manipulating a few specula-
tive favorites. Sugar and one or two
stocks that have been weak for several
days showed some new strength, but it
had no influence ON the general situa-
ton. The prospect for the coming
week is not rosy. The realizing is not
over yet, and there seems really no
good reason Why people should want to
buy that there was not all the past
week. .ot
Many believe, however, that there is
to come at some tine in the near fu-
ture a strong rally. The conditions seem
to point 10 this for The first time in
many weeks, in the, e,1minds of several
careful market people that have talk
ed to in the last few days. These peo-
pie say that the banks are now quietly
buying stocks with the plentiful money
they have on deposit. This game of
speculating on their own account on the
New York stock exchange has been
played many times by the big New
York banks. The price will be forced
up by them in the next few weeks, with
the aid of other interests, we'll known
to be favorable to higher quotations
just at the present time. The public
is to buy from the banks when the rise
has been sufficient, and then. Of course,
there will be tumble ara +''e public
will be dumped. The reas3 Of this
is straight as far as it goes. and there
are many indications that the game is
being played. There is nothing in such
a game impossible in itself. even when
the general public shows as little dispo-
sitlon to interest itself in stocks as at
present, and when any large and per-
manent rise is a remote possibility. I
