592 THE MONTHLY BULLETIN. 



MONTHLY CROP REPORT— JUNE. 



These data are compiled by the secretary from monthly crop reports made by the 

 county horticultural commissioners. Counties not included have not reported or the 

 reports have come too late for preess. Unless othei'wise designated percentages refer 

 to last year's crop. 



Alfalfa. 



Reports still indicate a good crop of alfalfa throughout the State, although in a 

 few sections the dry season will materially decrease the output. 



Almonds. 



10 per cent increase over report of last month in Contra Costa County and 60 per 

 cent over last month's estimate of 10,800 pounds in Madera County. Ventura County 

 reports an increase of 25 per cent over last month's report or a crop about equal to 

 that of last year. 



In other sections the conditions as reported last month have not changed materially. 



Apples. 



A 10 per cent increase over last month is reported from Butte County, while a 10 

 per cent decrease is reported from Ell Dorado County. A 5 per cent decrease shows 

 on the report from Sacramento County. Shasta County reports from 50 to 60 per cent 

 of last year's crop. Sonoma shows an increase of 5 per cent and Stanislaus a 25 per 

 cent gain over last month's estimate. 



In other sections the estimates of last month still appear accurate. 



Apricots. 



In Alameda County the conditions look better than the last report, showing an 

 incrase from 50 as last reported to 75 per cent. Fresno County reports a gain of 

 50 per cent over last month's estimate. Madera reports 30 per cent of last year's crop 

 (dried) of 64,000 pounds. Merced has only 10 per cent of normal crop. There is a 

 decrease of about 60 per cent over last month's estimate for Monterey County. In 

 Orange County the crop is only 30 per cent, but the fruit is in fine condition and will 

 be of good size. There is a decrease of 15 per cent in the estimate of Sacramento 

 County for this month, while San Bernardino has an increase of 5 per cent. Santa 

 Cruz reports 70 per cent of full crop due to drought. Tehama County reports an 

 increase of 50 per cent over last month's estimates, while Ventura reports a gain of 

 10 per cent. 



Other counties report no material changes. 



Beans. 



Orange County estimates SO per cent of a crop. Sacramento reduces last month's 

 estimate from 100 per cent to 75 per cent of last year's crop. No other changes 

 recorded. There are Indications of a fair crop. 



Berries. 



A good crop reported throughout the State. 



Cherries. 



Practically all are harvested. There was a somewhat larger crop throughout the 

 State than was estimated in last month's report, though a few sections fell short of it. 



Figs. 



In Butte County the first crop is heavier than usual. A much better crop is 

 expected in Madera County than was reported last month. A large crop is also 

 estimated for Merced County and a good crop for San Joaquin County. In Stanislaus 

 County the crop is reported to be 25 per cent greater than last month's estimate and 

 15 per cent greater in Tulare County. 



In other sections there have been no changes in the estimates. 



Grapes (Wine). 



Reliable estimates have been received relative to this crop and all indications point 

 towards a fair yield throughout the State. Alameda reports but 50 per cent, Madera 

 115 per cent. A short crop is reported in Merced and San Joaquin counties, while 

 Sonoma, San Bernardino, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Fresno report fair or good 

 crops. 



Grapes (Table). 



Fresno, Los Angeles, Madera, Stanislaus and Sonoma report full crops. Tulare, 

 Sacramento and San Bernardino report 90 per cent, while San Joaquin estimates a 

 short crop. 



Hops. 



All reports so far received indicate that the hop crop will be about the same as that 

 of last year. 



Lemons. 



There appear to be no improvements in the prospects for a lemon crop over those 

 given in last report. If anything it will be slightly less than was estimated at that 

 time.
