therefore readily be appreciated what 

 ideal weather conditions prevail for 

 the thorough ripening of sweet pea 

 seeds. No irrigation is resorted to 

 out here for sweet \pea8 when not 

 less than ten inches of rainfall is had 

 during the winter season. It will be 

 seen by referring to the records in 

 the first paragraph that so far we 

 have not received the requisite ten 

 inches, but when we fully realize that 

 twenty-four inches fell last season it 

 will be apparent we had some moisture 

 left in the soil, which, with the flr\ 

 farming system practiced here, was 

 conserved. 



The crops in general are looking 

 quite promising in Lompoc since the 

 welcome March rains. Mustard, one 

 of Lompoc 's staple crops, is looking 

 better now than it did last year at 

 this time, the excessive rainfall of 

 early 1911 causing the plants to as- 

 sume a decidedly yellow hue. While in 

 some few isolated spots this year it 

 suffered during the recent drought, the 

 belated rains have done wonders in 

 freshening iip this as well as other 

 growing crops. 



Lompoc valley has the^ unique dis- 

 tinction of growing more mustard seed 

 than any other locality in the imiverse. 

 This seed is used principally commer- 

 cially in the manufacture of condi- 

 ments, though Fordhook Fancy is 

 grown to some extent for seed pur- 

 poses. 



Bears, airothftrTcrop well to the fore in 

 Lompoc, will not be sown until May. 



Some weather predictors clajjn we 

 will have rains later "tiiis year than 

 we have had the last two years, when 

 the last in 1910 was on Easter Sun-
