lately, where irrigated, but on many of
the temporal lands the crop will be
only fit for fodder. AS a rule oats also
is heading out small. The continued
drought is causing fruits to drop badly,
and in some orchards of the central
counties the fruit trees seem to be dry
ing up. The watermelon crop of the
Mesilla valley has been a failure. In
the vicinity of Espanola, in the Rio
Grande valley, grasshoppers have done
a great deal of damage in alfalfa fields,
and have injured other crops. In some
instances fruit trees have suffered
also.

tracted from the reports of correspond
