The weather of last week was some

! son with cloudy afternoons and fire.
: quent showers over most sections. The
r showers were often accompanied by
| high winds and some hail. No damage
: has been reported from the hail, but the
: winds shook some of the young fruit
J from the trees. All sections report
plenty of water for irrigation purposes,
Field crops. gardens n fruits contin-
lie a rapid growth, and grass on the
! ranges furnishes excellent feed for
stock. Corn is growing rapidly. In the
Mesilla valley, where it was planted
late on account of the lack of water, the
crop is fast catching up with it's normal
growth. Wheat and oats are heading
in north central sections, and in the San
Juan valley winter wheat is in bloom.
The first cutting Of alfalfa is under
way in northern counties, and in the
extreme south the second crop Is about
ready to harvest. In the north the first
crop is an unusually heavy yield. Ear
ly cherries, Strawberries, and early gar
den truck as asparagus, lettuce, etc,
are abundant in northern markets.
Apricots are fast ripening in the south,
and nothing has occurred to injure the
prospect of an unusually large crop of
the larger fruits throughout the terri
tory. Shearing will begin this week in
some camps Of the north central coun-
ties.
