RAIN SHORTAGE MAY INJURE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CROPS

.pected to ship eight to 12 cars daily
straight through the spring and
summer seasons. In the San Fer
nando valley, adverse conditions
have practically put an end to the
crop and very little competition
will be offered by this district, the
report states.
Northern California is now yield
ing about twice as many bushels of
early potatoes as Southern Califor-
MIA. Harvest is now going on in
many Southern California districts
and will DC general in the next two
weeks. Lack of rain and severe
frost in some districts has reduced
the condition. of the crop material
ly.
Early potatoes north of the Teha-
chapi are just the reverse, the re-
port says. Weather conditions
were conducive to rapid growth and
higher yields than last year are In
prospect. In Tulare county the crop
is generally in excellent condition.
The yield and quality of the
cauliflower was materially reduced
by dry weather in San Diego coun-
ty. Shipments are to be practical
ly over by May 10. The Santa
Maria valley has from $50 to 400
ears yet to move and with favorable
weather should be cutting the cauli-
flower crop until June 15, the re-
port saws.
