REVIEW OF YEAR'S CROPS. Gathered from Data in the Climate and Crop Service of the Weather Bureau. The seasonal rainfall of 1898-99 up to the month of March, 1899, was so far below the amount required to assure agriculturists that even fair crops were probable, that considerable doubt and anxiety existed among all classes in California during the first three months of the year. The preceding year, one that will long be remembered as a dry year, had brought about a low supply of visible water, and the prospect of the continuation of unfavorable conditions caused grave prehensions among farmers and stockmen. During the first half of January rain had fallen in the northern portion of the State, and some plowing and seeding had been attempted. In most sections the temperature was below the normal, and severe frosts were frequent, although injury to fruit and trees was slight. At the end of the month temperatures were higher, and owing to the absence of rain growing crops were forced somewhat; almond and apricot buds swelling and in some sections almonds were beginning to bloom. Special reports indicated that an unusually large acreage of wheat had been sown in the wheat-growing sections. It was felt, however, that more than normal spring rains would be necessary for the wheat's growth, and that the soil required much more moisture than it apparently contained. Large crops of barley and beets had been planted in Southern California. The beginning of February was marked by unusually low temperatures in Southern California. Citrus fruits were damaged to some extent, but less seriously than might have been inferred from the extremely cold, frosty weather. This was probably owing to the fact that the oranges were ripe; ripe fruit standing low temperatures better than green fruit. Some injury also resulted to almonds and apricots in the valleys and coast and bay regions. Cold, dry winds and lack of moisture retarded the growth of grain and grass. By the end of the month apricots, almonds and peaches were in bloom in most of the fruit-growing regions. Special reports from correspondents in the grain-growing sections showed that the acreage sown to wheat was above the average. Grain suffered from drought in the San Joaquin valley California. Feed was son was shipped from Porterville October 30th. Southern California oranges ripened slowly, although picking had commenced in some orchards. Early sown grain and pasturage continued in excellent condition. Sugar beets were gathered. Frosts were frequent, but were too light to cause damage. During the last month of the year the conditions were generally favorable for farm work, except in the tule lands, where owing to frequent rains the land was in poor condition for working. In some localities the seeding of summer fallow land was abandoned. Heavy snow storms occurred in the mountain regions and the year closed with every prospect of sufficient water supply for the germinating and growing season. A. G. McADIE, Section Director. NEW YEAR'S CUTTING SCRAPE. Richard Carter Celebrates the Advent of the New Year by a Wicked Knife Play. Richard Carter was arrested on Monday by Marshal Steadman on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Carter was celebrating the advent of the new year, and at midnight became embroiled in an altercation with George Thompson near the Commercial hotel. Carter was under the influence of liquor, and some one suggested that Charley Bauer prevail upon him to go home. Carter whipped out a knife and struck at Bauer, who threw up his right hand to ward off the blow. The blade struck the inner part of his hand, embedding itself in the flesh across the palm for two or three inches. The blade was with some difficulty with drawn, and care had to be taken that a much more serious wound was not inflicted. The cut was a painful one, and will have the result of keeping Bauer from his work for probably a couple of weeks. Marshal Steadman drove out to Carter's house on West street, near South, and placed him under arrest. A singular coincidence was that on arriving at the house Carter's son was found to have been stabbed above the heart. The boy declined to say who stabbed him, but the officer suspicious the father. Carter was taken before Judge Shanley, who committed him to jail in default of bonds of $500. His hearing was set for 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A number of witnesses were examined, including Charles Bauer, George Thompson, Claude Stough, Fred Click and Dave Bush. At the conclusion of FULLERTON MASQUERADE. The Band Boys Entertain Their Friends at Their Eighth Annual Bal Masque. The eighth annual masquerade ball given by the Fullerton band at Chadbourne's hall on the evening of Jan. 1st was largely attended and most enjoyable. People from neighboring towns gathered to participate in the masquerade and spend an evening of merriment. At 8:30 the band discoursed several pieces in front of the hall, and at 9 a.m were ready for the grand march. There were many neat and tasteful costumes and the hall was crowded. Bert Annin was mask inspector and Chas. Stone floor manager. At 12 o'clock masks were ordered on and there followed the usual surprise and laughter. Supper was then announced ready at the Fullerton hotel, where the tables were found to be laden with a sumptuous spread. After supper dancing was resumed and continued until an early hour on Tuesday morning. The following are the names of makers, and the costumes represented: LADIES. Mrs. Johnson—Fancy costume. Mrs. F. J. Karten—Jockey; jack striped with black and yellow; black skirt trimmed with horseshoes; jock cap. Winnie Yansey—Topsy. Grace Stormer—Topsy's chum.

Stone—Fisher main blue dress trimmed with silver fish small seine. Miss C. Corona—Smillax girl; w dress trimmed with snillax. Miss R. Corona—Gypsy. Mette Hansen—June girl; white o Special reports from correspondents in the grain-growing sections showed that the acreage sown to wheat was above the average. Grain suffered from drought in the San Joaquin valley and in Southern California. Feed was beginning to wither and stockmen were preparing to move their stock. At this most opportune time the desired rain came. Beginning on March 14th, heavy rain fell generally through California, lasting until the 25th. The condition of all crops and pasturage was materially improved. In some sections the heavy rains caused an overflow of the streams, but no serious damage was reported. Deciduous fruit trees were in bloom in Southern California, and there were indications of a heavy crop of citrus fruits for the coming season. The month of April was generally favorable to all growing crops. Deciduous fruit prospects improved, although in some sections it was reported that apricots and almonds had been seriously damaged by frosts in March. High temperatures prevailed about the middle of the month causing a rapid development of fruit and grain. There were several light showers in all portions of the State from the 24th to the 30th. Cool, cloudy weather prevailed generally during the month of May, and the mean temperature for the State was 4 degrees below the normal; extremely high temperatures, accompanied and followed by strong northerly wind during the week ending May 15th, caused considerable damage to wheat in the valleys. The precipitation was considerably below the normal, only occasional light showers occurring in the central and northern portions. Prospects for large crops of deciduous fruits continued excellent; grapes were somewhat damaged by frost during the first week of the month. The mean temperature of the State for the month of June was slightly above the normal; abnormally high temperatures in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys during the week ending June 12th were very beneficial to growing crops, and wheat ripened rapidly, in some sections being ready for harvest. Toward the end of the month haying and barley harvesting were progressing, and in some sections wheat harvest had commenced. Deciduous fruits were being gathered, and with the exception of apricots and prunes the yield was above the average, peaches especially being of excellent quality and a heavy crop. Moderate showers fell on the first and 24th, in most sections; the precipitation for the month being slightly in excess of the normal. The month of July was marked by nearly normal temperatures, although unusually hot weather prevailed in the interior during the first of the week of the month. The precipitation was confined to the extreme northern and southeastern sections, and was very light. Grain harvest was progressing favorably in all parts of the State, with large yields of wheat and barley. Deciduous fruits were excellent in quality and the yield above the average. Packing houses and canneries were working to their full capacity. There were indications of a large yield of grapes, and citrus fruits continued thrift. Remarkably cool weather prevailed during the month of August, the meanously than might have been inferred from the extremely cold, frosty weather.

The petition to the President to Which Every Irrigator Should Affix His Signature. The following petition to the President of the United States, referring to the sacrifice of the rights of irrigators in Orange and Riverside counties, by denudation of the forests, and asking that the mountainous watershed be added to the Forest Reserve is being circulated throughout both counties for signatures. A copy of the petition may be found at the office of the water company, where it should be signed by every stockholder in the company. It must be forwarded to Washington next week, so that it is important that signatures be attached to it as early as possible. The petition was prepared by Ray Billingsley of Santa Ana, and as will be seen on perusal is of great importance to irrigators: To the President, Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C.

w.B.Ford - Little boy in blue; The month of July was marked by nearly normal temperatures, although unusually hot weather prevailed in the interior during the first of the week of the month. The precipitation was confined to the extreme northern and southeastern sections, and was very light. Grain harvest was progressing favorably in all parts of the State, with large yields of wheat and barley. Deciduous fruits were excellent in quality and the yield above the average. Packing houses and canneries were working to their full capacity. There were indications of a large yield of grapes, and citrus fruits continued thrifty. Remarkably cool weather prevailed during the month of August, the mean temperature for the month being five degrees below the normal. Light, scattered showers fell during the first half of the month, and the precipitation was slightly in excess of the normal. Raisin grapes were not making favorable progress, warmer weather being necessary to mature the fruit and increase the percentage of sugar. Late deciduous fruits were maturing and being gathered. Haying and harvesting were still progressing, and thrashing had commenced; the yield of grain was proving above the average, and quality excellent. Hop picking was in progress in some sections During September the temperature averaged slightly above the normal; extremely hot weather prevailed in the interior for several days. Showers fell on the northwest coast, and there was a very light rainfall in parts of Southern California. The first crop of raisins was being gathered and eured; the fruit was of good quality, but the yield was comparatively light. Large quantities of deciduous fruit had been dried and stored in packing houses. Wine-making was progressing. Harvesting and thrashing were practically completed. Walnut picking was in progress; there was a fair yield, and the nuts were of good quality. The temperature for October averaged nearly three degrees below the normal, although unusually hot weather prevailed in most sections during the early part of the month. Heavy rains occurred in the central and northern portions of the State, with moderate rainfall in other sections except the southeast. The first crop of raisins was under cover; ample warning of the rains was given, and fruit on trays was but slightly damaged. Plowing and seeding were progressing; early sown grain had made a good start, and green feed was more plentiful than at this season for many years. Continued heavy rainfall during November in the central and northern sections retarded the work of plowing and seeding, while lighter precipitation in all but the extreme southeast section was beneficial.

Charges of embezzlement against M. S. Carrizosa, until recently Postmaster at Yorba, were dismissed by Judge Wellborn in the United States District Court in Los Angeles last week. Carrizosa was arrested some months ago charged with embezzling government funds. He was examined and held to answer to the Federal Grand Jury by United States Commissioner Van Dyke. In the hearing it developed that the alleged shortage in his accounts was the result of carelessness rather than criminal intent. Instead of depositing the money in a national bank as postal regulations demand, he mixed it with his own funds, thereby committing a technical breach of the law. In the report of the Grand Jury filed last week no mention was made of the charges against him. The attorney for the accused appeared before Judge Wellborn and asked that the charges be dismissed. This motion, entirely exonerating Carrizosa, was granted. For Sale. One brown horse about 8 years old, and one bay mare 5 years old.
