 taken January, 1913, snow 30 inches 

 deep — deepest for thirty years in this

California Prospects for a Honey 

 Crop Discouraging. 



It is rather too early yet to know 

 about our honey crop here in Cali- 

 fornia, but I think it will be a failure 

 in the Sage belt, at least in the middle 

 coast belt. In this locality, outside of 

 the irrigated district, the grain crops 

 are the poorest since the latter seventies. 

 There will not be a pound of grain 

 harvested in some localities on 10,000 

 acres of land. David J. Grabill.
