 assumed torrential proportions, Inundating-

Wind has played havoc along the Ocean 

 beach with breakwater piers, small ocean

 ever, the good accomplished will be far in ex-

Great Rainfall in California 



Great is our rainfall here, and almost as 

 great is it in the lower counties of the State 

 where dry years are common. The South 

 has been having floods which have sent the 

 rain-gauge higher than it has been for years. 

 'Tie well ; crops will be good, and if every- 

 thing goes well the honey crop will be the 

 best in a long time. But it is too soon to 

 "count one's chickens." Here we have a 

 great season. The rains began in September; 

 it has been raining a good portion of this 

 month. Wild flowers as well as fruit-blos- 

 soms, to say nothing of garden flowers, are 

 out in full swing. IE it were not so wet the 

 bees would have a feast galore. They work 

 between showers, however. > I notice that 

 they have not increased as fast as might have 

 been expected. W. A. Pryal.

Bees Still in the Cellar 



Our bees are not out of the cellar yet. 

 There have been quite a good many days 

 when they could fly, but others when they 

 were belter off inside. It remains quite cool 

 and cloudy. Eugene Secob.

Fruit-Trees Beginning to Bloom 



Bees are working finely here. Peaches and 

 plums are beginning to bloom.
