Modoc County: 



The general condition of our crops for this year was splendid. The returns, as 

 compared with other years, have been better. The condition of crops not yet har- 

 vested, is good. — O. C. McManus. 



Monterey County: 



Almonds — crop, 125 per cent. Apples— crop, 15 per cent. The last injury was by 

 the hot spell, September 15th to 18th. Apricots — crop, 150 per cent. Cherries — crop,

Placer County: 



The deciduous fruit season is about ended. The general condition of crops this 

 season has been good and we have harvested between 65 per cent and 70 per cent, it 

 Is estimated. The returns have been better than usual, so that growers will be as 

 well off, financially, as in other years. Crops yet to be harvested, viz., olives and 

 oranges, are showing up' well and we will have an average crop. — H. H. Bowman. 



Riverside County: 



Almonds, apricots, peaches, have all produced full crops of first class fruit, and 

 prices received for same have been very satisfactory. Production of above varieties 

 will run 25 per cent to 30 per cent above last year. Cherries also produced above 

 a normal crop, with good prices for most of the output. Grapes, both wine and 

 ta,ble, have suffered some from sunburn, but the yield will be up to that of last year. 

 Prices for table varieties have been satisfactory. Our wine grape acreage is nearly 

 all in the hands of large concerns, who have their own facilities for manufacturing 

 wine, hence am unable to give very accurate information as to prices being paid for 

 grapes to outside parties. Lemons in the Riverside district will yield a light crop 

 this season. The Corona section is shipping almost its usual quantity of this fruit 

 and very satisfactory returns are the rule. The citrus, including all varieties will, 

 we estimate, run about 65 per cent of normal throughout the county, Corona district 

 leading in quantity per acre. Pears and prunes are grown commercially in limited 

 quantities in our county. Crops of above varieties have been good, and good prices 

 have prevailed for same. Walnuts now being harvested will run 80 per cent to 85 

 per cent normal crop, with prices good. Olives promise a good crop of fine fruit with 

 satisfactory offerings for the output, both oil and pickling varieties. Our citrus groves 

 in sections that were severely injured by last season's cold, are recovering in splendid 

 shape, and barring any further calamity of similar nature, should practically reach 

 their normal production during the 1914 crop. This, I think, will be especially true 

 of oranges ; lemons will probably not reach normal production before 1915 crop. —
