The winter Mas a peculiar one. The
rainy season set In unite late, and
though much inoro land had been sum
mer lullowed and sown dry than lu
any pruvlousyear, still at tho time tho
rains commenced, not half the i?r.iln
was sown that the farmers intended to
put in.
When onco it commenced to ruin it
didnoteeaso until the ground gener
ally was so thoroughly soaked thut all
cultivation had to cease and very lit
tle more grain was sown till luto lu
February. So that our approaching
harvest Is made up of very early and
very late sown grain. It Is generally
conceded that in consequence of a want
of a usual quantity of tho 1st 0 rains
and of the prevalence of the north
winds, tho latter must provo very light,
indeed much of It will bo cut for hay.
and a considerable will not be cut at
all. Now what uro tho facts lu regard
to tho curly sown grain? Wo arc satis
fled that tho yield of this has Itcoii
greatly overestimated.
A trip through Yolo, Solano, San
Joaquin and Alunieda counties lately,
and inquiries of reliable ,tmd good
judges from Sonoma, Yubu, audUutto
counties, have forced this unwelcome
'conclusion upon us. We have' seen
I verv few fields of the liest grain that
1 nre not verj spotted. Tn fact ottrearly
sown gram in ueariy an ponton 01
the State has suffered severely from tho
uninterrupted wctweathor (luring the
wlntor. The grain In the lowplsce
is' generally drowned out, and grim
and weeds havo taken its place. Cnru
less and superllolal observers have not
noticed these fucts.t ami If thu grain
dealers have, they liiivo not made the
fuels public.. It may not -bo to. their
interest to do so. .Having produced
a general Impressloii tiat tlii) crop
