Lancaster County, Nebr. — Small grains prove a very light crop, owing 

 to excessive drought in June and July. 



Red River County, Tex. — The Tappahannock makes 16 bushels per 

 acre; other wheat, about 10 bushels. 



San Diego County, Cal. — Wheat, as well as other grain, is almost a total 

 failure, nearly all the crop being cut as hay. 



Stanislaus County, Cal. — The crop falls considerably below anticipa- 

 tion ; thousands of acres will not l)e harvested. The wheat crop of the 

 county is about 425,000 bushels, against 1,000,000 bushels in 1809. 



Santa Clara County, Cal. — On land affected by drought the crop will 

 be quite light, the grain small, and much of it shrunken. On land of op- 

 posite character the yield will be average in quantity and quality. 



Alameda County, Cal. — Wheat, barley, and oats will not be more than 

 three-fourths of the average crops, although the grain is very plump 

 and fine. 



Mendocino County, Cal. — The main crop of wheat is quite one-fifth 

 above an average, but that sown late turns out poorly, owing to the dry 

 season having commenced earlier than usual. 



Linn County, Oreg. — The acreage is probably one-sixth larger than 

 that of last year : the yield not as good. The extreme heat of July and 

 Augnst caused a'slight shriveling of the grain. Wheat being a staple 

 hog feed in this State, its increased value will cause a falling off in the 

 pork supply. 



Douglas County, Oreg. — Wheat gave excellent promise in May and 

 June, which has now been disappointed, the grain failing to fill on ac- 

 count of drought in July and August. 



ColumUa County, Oreg. — Winter wheat is plump, spring wheat shriv- 

 eled, being damaged one-tenth by this cause. 



Marion County, Oreg. — Late grain is not heavy, but the quality of 

 X)roduct in general is good. It is being saved in good condition, and 

 commands $1 to $1 15 per bushel at warehouses on the river. 



Utah County, Utah. — Wheat, which looked well at harvesting, turns 

 out poorly on being thrashed. 



Washington County, Utah. — The heaviest crop obtained for severa-I 

 years.

 year.
