growers' point of view, has been unfa- 

 vorable from every side. Central Cal- 

 ifornia did not get half the usual 

 amount of rainfall, most of which came 

 too late to be of much benefit. As a 

 consequence, crops did not get the nec- 

 essary growth in the early spring and, 

 in a number of instances, replanting 

 was required. This lack of good grow- 

 ing weather, together with the drought, 

 has been a most serious setback to 

 things in general. Onion crops have 

 stood the test well, however, and at 

 present are in fine condition, and a 

 good yield is expected. Carrot until re- 

 cently looked good, but is now begin- 

 ning to show the effects of the season 

 and will hardly be up to the average 

 yield per acre. Lettuce, considerable 

 having had to be replanted, is late and 

 at best will not be anything like a 

 normal yield. We have also suffered 

 somewhat from dry rot, but this has 

 not been as serious in our section as 

 elsewhere. Eadish, which is only a 

 small item with us, is only fair, and 

 the other crops are not up to the usual 

 standards, and in some cases will be 

 nothing short of failures. The weather, 

 however, during the last few weeks, 

 has been cool, and has helped crops 

 materially. We are only just begin- 

 ning to harvest some of the earlier 

 things and, taking it all together, it 

 will be quite late when all the crops 

 are in the bag."
