not a good record for the city

Most or Hie wheal In the valley

well started on many of the larger

completed in a short time. Thresh

The largest yield so far lo the
acre that has been reported was
that from the Loren Tucker ranch
which hurvesied 40 bushels lo (he
acre, other farms in the valley
are producing almost as much,
Spring Wheat Hurl Most
The spring wheat In the valley
has been Injured mure than any
other crop, continues Mr. Avery's
report. Although it Is too early in
the season to make, predictions K

spring wheat yield will full below
average. . , . , .
Spring1 barley has been Injured
le's than the spring wheat and
chances for u fair crop aru much
better. The oats crop seems like
ly to be light and ut the present
time It seems probable that the
fields will only produce about one
fourh of a normal crop.
In general the Irrigated districts
have escaped many of the bad ef
fects of the dry weather and the
North I'owder and Union ranches
have been particularly fortunate
in this respect.
Hay, Fruit Fair
As for the. hay and. fruit . crops;
both are fair. The wild hay Is be
ing produced In about half a nor
mal ijuantlty. The potato crop is
about uveruge as to yield but a
great amount of disease has
spread among the plants this year
and the potato misers will bo com
pelled to Import; seed for next
season's use.
The cherries have been harvest
ed and although no offlciul fig
ures, ure available as yet it Is esti
mated by authorities that the crop
is below normal.
Prunes and apples are both giv
ing indications of a good yield but
rain Is needed In order to give size
to the fruit.
