KAINS IN CALIFORNIA. As is well known, Southern California isso well in the north-trade-wind belt that it islikely to get all too little rain. In the win-ter months we swing to the north of this, andso get our scant rains. In the region ofClaremont we get, on the average, a littleover fifteen inches of rain. If this comesscattered along through the season we aresure to have very prosperous years. Thisseason we have had already more than ouraverage, and yet we are still to have ourbest month, that of March, when, as the rec-ords show, we get our greatest rainfall. Thesage and other honey-plants are pushing for-ward very fast; and unless the season is verydamp and cold we may almost surely counton a generous honey-Mow. I think that, inall the thirteen years I have been in this sec-tion, we have never had a season that piom-ised so much for the bee-keeper as does thepresent one. We may expect a great harvestalong all agricultural lines the coming falland summer
