crops in that district, which he described 

 as "very good." Continuing, he said: 



"Of course, we cannot speak positively 

 yet on most things, as we are now only 

 harvesting, but the sweet peas give prom- 

 ise of a good crop, the radish of the best 

 crop we have ever had in this section. 

 The onion is fair; some sorts, as the 

 whites, are rather light, while the reds 

 and yellows are pretty good. Lettuce 

 looks good now, but is only just bloom- 

 ing with us, so it is too early to predict. 

 We find that Big Boston, especially, is 

 subject to a blight that strikes it after 

 the blossom comes. How much we shall 

 suffer from that we cannot tell yet. 



"Carrots with us are not very good, 

 but we understand that the outlook is 

 better in other parts of the state. Sal- 

 sify is about all gathered, and, while not 



cleaned up yet, seems to be an average 

 crop. 



"On the whole, we expect to deliver ail 

 orders in full, with some minor excep- 

 tions, and consider that this has been > 

 good year in spite of the wet winter. ' ' 



BEANS ARE BEANS. 



The U. S. Board of General Appraiser 

 decided, July 23, that beans are bean.', 

 and not seeds, as classified by th^ coi 

 lector at the port of Los Angeles. Th 

 difference is that the duty was 45 cent 

 per bushel instead of thirty per cent a 

 valorem. 



The point was raised by an appeal by 

 Johnson & Musser Seed Co., the question' 

 being whether seed beans were properl} 

 classified as seeds under paragraph 254. 

 tariff act of 1897, or dutiable as bean.''
