CLIMATE AND CROPS.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, September II, 1900.
The weather has remained warm
with continued good showers and heavy
rains over all sections. In many local.
ties the rains were in the nature OF
cloudbursts, causing much local dam
q to crops, irrigation works and rail-
way property. Orchards, late vegeta-
bles. alfalfa and ranges. have been
greatly benefited. All water holes are
filled, and II cold weather holds of for
two or three weeks grass on the north
ern and western ranges will yet prob
ably furnish good winter feed. In east
ern and southeastern sections good
winter feed is assured. The rains de-
layed oats and late wheat harvests
somewhat in northern sections, and In
many cases came too late to be of much
benefit to corn, although It will help
to make better fodder. The third crop
OF alfalfa. which Is ready to cut in
northern counties. Is quite promising,
and will be further improved by the
rains II a chance Is given for favorable
harvesting. Apples, late peaches, pears
pAoAhot tA1ss WHICH hEiG bduf1
on account of the drouth. have been
greatly benefited. The fruit has chung
to the tree better and ripened under
very favorable conditions. The later
varieties of grapes in the Bernslillo
vineyards will be greatly improved, as
the grape was small and needed rain
to I'LL II out. There Is plenty Of water
for irrigation purposes in all sections
excepting where the floods have dam
aged the dams and bitches.
The following remarks of correspond
ents will give the conditions more in
detail:

cloudy and showery week OF this sea-

winter. Peaches about all gone, but
grapes still In the market. Winter gar
dens now being planted. All agricul-
tural and stock interests in good condi-
ton.
East Las Vegas-J. Thornhill; Good
rains during the past week will be
highly beneficial to corn. millet, sor-
ghum. etc, but came too late for wheat
and oats, which will be much under an
average crop. The rains were late to
make good corn, but will make lots of
fodder. Pastures, which were almost
burnt up with the drouth. will be great
ly benefited. As the dams were all
washed out there Is no irrigation water.
Oats harvest was somewhat delayed.
Tit third cutting OF alfalfa in good
condition.
Gallinas Springs-Jas. Il. whitmore:
Good, general rains. and corn which
