must aggregate in the neighborhood of 

 40o acres, will not yield on an average, 

 taking into consideration the better 

 n<>l<ls, over 300 pounds per acre, if they 

 ^'11 do that well. However, on the 

 Jowcr and heavier soils there is a splen- 

 V"l stand of radish, which has not been 

 I'Kluded in this estimate. Some of the 

 f^rops will yield as heavy as 1,600 to 

 -.""0 pounds per acre. The acreage, 

 •'owever, is limited, not exceeding in 

 the aggregate over fifty to sixty acres. 



All sweet peas in this section are 

 trrnbly short. Some fields that had 

 ''"' appearance of making a fine crop 

 ^'P to two weeks ago are now being 

 >':>pidly destroyed by the aphis and the 



outcome must be extremely disappoint- 

 ing. 



Some carrot grown in this section is 

 looking well, although the heads are 

 rather small and even if the crop comes 

 to its maturity without injury the 

 yields will be only fair. 



Lettuce is badly spotted excepting on 

 the heavier soils where there is plenty 

 of moisture. These fields are looking 

 exceptionally well and the yields will 

 be heavy, although most of the lettuce 

 crops that make the best appearance 

 are growing for foreign trade. It looks 

 as though the reported large surplus 

 on lettuce carried by some growers will 

 be cleaned up this year. No doubt 



this will be welcome news to both 

 dealers and growers, and if the growers 

 will only refrain from overplanting 

 from now on, lettuce seed will not be 

 the drug on the market it has been for 

 the last few years.' 



Onion crops in this vicinity are look- 

 ing fairly well and the crop will be an 

 average one. 



In the San Juan section all of the 

 crops are much below average. Onion 

 is light; in fact, this is the only sec- 

 tion where the fields could be called 

 poor and the best of them can only be 

 called fair. The yields on onion in 

 this section will be much lighter than
