Yosemite Falls to
Near Flood Stage
BY United Press Leased Wire

YOSEMITE, Calf, July 2l. -
Yosemite falls rdared today to al
most flood stage as Il result of an
unusual hail storm in the high ST.
crras along the Tioga road north
Of the valley.
Hailstones more than half an inch
in diameter were reported by rang
crs at an outpost near intersection
of the TiOga road and Yosemite
creek with drifts of the hail two
feet deep.
Yosemite Valley did not feel the
storm until Yosemite falls rose in
ten minutes from Il thin veil of wa
ter to roaring chocolate colored
spout as large as it had been early
in the season from melting SHOWS.
Logs, trees and other debris came
crashing down into the valley, rails
ing the level of Yosemite creek at
the Yosemite lodge bridge from one
foot to eight feet in 20 minutes.
superintendent w. b. Lewis said
no damage had been done to park
roads and the Tioga road was open
to Mono lake.

California Outlook on Crops Would
Indicate q Genuine Banner Year

The Sacramento and San joaquin
Valleys are assured Of prosperous
conditions by reason Of good rain
fan and plenty Of irrigation wafer
during the dry season.
Reports ON various crops give the
following advance prospects,:
Alfalfa, excess over 1921; al
mouds, spotted, 50 per cent normal;
apples, % to 81 per cent normal,
smaller crop than last year; apri-
cots. 65 per cent normal, better than
1924; barley, bumper crops; beans,
larger than last year; citrus fruits,
short crops and high returns; cotton
- per cent better than 1924; grapes
nGimai crop and demand; oats, 81
per cent normal, gain over last year;
pears, "a per cent normal, gain over
1924; plums, 9 per cent normal,
small gain over 1924; potatoes, bet
ter than last year; prunes, small
c.0p, good return; walnuts, heavy
crop; wheat, heavy crop.
Imperial Valley press., 1925-07-21

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2l.-
Reports from all sections OF Cali.
folnia indicate tins viii be one Of
the banner Years Of the state from
the viewpoint Of crops and revenues.
A heavy season Of rainfall in tho
north, IN excess Of normal in many
points. prepared the ground, kept
il moist, and boomed most crops.
Latr spring rains did damage to
berries and cherries, first Of the
year $ agricultural crops, aad hcay-
lily damaged cut hay. but seemed
to BE- If benefit to all other crops.
4 significant feature Of the com
ing frat harvcsts IS that the can
ucrs Of the state have prepared to
make big packs this wear. Last year
nearly all Of them packed short, y
with the result that wholesale hous-
es have very little surplus on hand,
and tha uew pack viii he in demand
alm,s, as soon as It gets on the mar
krt.
Under this condition the grower
viii get good revenue, whether his
yield Is small or large. IF It is
small Ire viii ger high prices, and il
it is large the demand viii be
enough to absorb il ell at moderate
prices.
80 agricultural industry Of the
state sees any possibility of low
prices to the producer this year.
labor costs Will not be excessive
" high, for at present it appears
that men outnumber jobs The lat
est official state figure said labor
was 1913 per cent. normal and de
mand for Labor 88 per cent normal,
an appriXmate II per cent excess of
men over jobs.
\ satisfying feature in prospect
for both producers and consumers is
the assurance that this year will
see IN entirely adequate supply of
freight cars to move California
crops.
All Crops VIII Share
Generally speaking, there does not
now appear to be any agricultural
crop which does not show better
prospects than there were last year.
I Increased bearing acreagcs are
noted for nearly all crops.
/ Southern California IS delighted
/ by good returns on citrus fruits and
/ good outlook for walnut and cotton.
The deciduous fruit districts have
mixed prospects as to size Of crops,
! but good prospects for financial re-
turn.

san DIEGO. july 27.--As 2 re-
suit of he rapid growth of the city

10 add both clerks and carricrs to
the force employed at the local post
office. Seven additional clerks
we're put on the payroll July I and
the first day of EcE4 month Is new
carriers will start serving routes.
The recent annexation Of Normal
Heights. which heretofore had been
, served by rural carriers, rs one rea-
son fer the need Of more carriers
and clerks. Included in the section
which is now q part of the city are
100 homes ent:tled to carrier s2rv-
ice. Under the old plan, many resi-
dents of Normal Heights had TO
place thcir mail roccptaclcs some
! distance from their homes and then
! only had one delivery a day. After
| August l there win be direct deliv-
cry to the houses and ',hc routes will
J be covered twice each day.
! Another reason for the increased
force is 2700 new buildings in san
! Diego, erected during 1924 the larg-
c. part Of these being homes which
were occupied soon afto" their com
Plrtiop and thus entitled to mail
