LOTS OF RAIN DOWN SOUTH.
NO GREAT INJURY REPORTED
FROM FROSTS.
What the Weather Bureau Climate
and Crop Reports
Indicate.

Following is the report of the climate
and croe service of the United States
Weather Bureau, California section, for
the week ending January 10, 1898.
The following summary of the climate
and crop conditions is based uoon re-
ports received from eight Weather Bu-
reau stations, fifty-two Geographic re-
ports received through the courtesy OF
the Southern Pacific Company, and
many reports scattered throughout the
State. Telegraphic summaries are also
received from the observers at Los An
geles and Eureka, based upon reports
received by them from correspondents
in their districts.
The long delayed rain came on the 9th,
18th and 9th. The amount of rainfall,
however. was generally below what
might have been expected at this season
of the year, except in the southern por-
ton of the State. In the northern por-
ton the rainfall is below the normal Tor
the week by amounts varying from 0.3o
inch to l. 40 inches. South Of the Te-
hachapi the rainfall has exceeded the
normal
The week ends with cold, dry weather.
The temperature has been about normal
or little above, except in the extreme
northern portion. Frosts occurred north
of the Both parallel on the morning Of
the Sth, and heavy or killing frosts on
the 9th and 10th. Grain needs rain bad
~, except in the southern sections,
where the rain has caused the grain to
sprout and started the grass.
There is very general expression
of opinion that a good soaking rain is
much needed. Some snow has fallen in
the southern mountains. Oranges are
being picked and shipped but the rainy
weather will retard shipments a little.
The average conditions for the week
ending January 10, 1893, were:
