Corn, sorphum and sereals of all kinds have grown unusually we'll there this year, although none of the land wa. irrigat- ed. The valley soil is apong the most prolific in the country but it has not been extensively cultivated for several years, since a washout in the lower part of the valley cut the river chan nel several feet deeper allowing the subsoil waters to drain to greater depth Courier

 Lemons, the first of the citrus fruits to ripen, are now ready for picking. The first picking began two days ago at the Ward grove-almost a month before picking began last year. The fruit has matured very early this year, perhaps on account of the fact that at almost all times there was enough water to be had for irrigation. Early lemons are always in great demand in the markets, and the price of S6 box is obtained for them against about s box later in the season. It is a. good augury that the lemons have ripened ear y. It means that, in all proba bility, oranges will ripen at g. proportionate early date. The first carload of oranges is usually shipped 1 day or 30 before Thanksgiving. though one times later by several weeks.- 1 Rfpublican
