Carson, Nevada. July II. 1899.
The week ending Jnly II. was hot
and dry, the excess Of temperature
averaging about five degrees a day
above norLral. High. dry winds pre-.
vailed over the State on the Goth and
2lst, and heavy showers occurred at
Alexander, Elko colntv, on the 18th
with a few light sprinkles at White,
Eureka county On the 10Th.
Tho week on the whole was gener.
ally favorable to the growing crops
and for the harvesting operations. but
a little too windy for the handling Of
hay. Reports for the past week are
very favorable and indicate that tho
hey, gram and vegetable crops are in
excellent condition and growing nice
iy where water is plentiful for irri-
eating purposes.
Wheat IL %ripcnirg rapidly aud will
soon he ready 10 cut; barley is being
harvested in some OF the western lis
tricta. The first crop Of alfalfa is
nearly all cut and stacked and the
second crop in growing nicely and
looks quite promising. Tho first crop
is somewhat unsatisfactory in some
sections the yield being lighter thnn
usual on account Of the heavy MAY

In Humboldt county the hay :
Is very promising, and the outlook Tor
ut least an average yield Of both tho
tame and wild hay is very cncourag.

Il few good showers would be u great

that Of the objections made by Wren
