The past week has been cold w ith excess of cloudiness, but with less than normal rain fall. The daily mean tem perature has averaged 4 degrees below normal. The rainfall at a few places in cen tral and southern counties exceeding an inch, but generally it was less than half an inch. The lirst days of the week were cloudy, w ith light rain: these were fol lowed by partly cloudy, then by clear days the last part of th3 week. Con ditions have materially improved with the light rainfall, but the low lands continue too wet for the lest growth II II . m . P1 sm,in rd,n' as wc, as Ior Vaing orculivating com. Small grain, gen erally shows the effects of continued wet weather: the growth has been very rank, and rust is beginning to ap pear on the winter wheat in a number of places In the eastern counties. However, as a whole, wheat, oats, and rye continue in a very promising con dition. The wet condition of the soil has retarded corn planting, but some progress was made generally on the up lands on and after Friday, also the cul tivation of early planted corn. The corn liolbs are very weedy and corn that is up is generally yellow and un healthy in color; early planted corn has germinated well, but grown slowly. Considerale corn ground in southeast ern counties is still unplanted; In northern and western counties plant ing is about complete. Strawberries are ripening and generally promise a good crop. The outlook is for an un usually gol crop. $45.00 to California and Return. Via Purlington route.
