DRY WEATHER.

1877 will he distinguished in the
history Of California as the year of the
great drought. 1t was even in Oregon
and this Territory, where the saying
prevails that drought is . thing un-
known" an exceptionally dry year.
The present year, however. though one
Of food in Cslifornis, is in the North
western States aud Territories dryer
season even than that of 1877.
In Oregon, until recently. it has been
feared that the grain crop would be 30
PER cent. lighter than ordinary on ac-
count of the drought. In that State,
however, they have had copious rains
during last week, spelling the holiday
sports of the Fourth of July, but bring
ing life and refrigeration. to the
thirsty crops of grain and vegetables.
In Wslla Walla valley and the
regions adjacent thereto. the valleys of
the Palouse. Umstilla, Spokane, etc,
the same fears have been entertained Of
. shortage of crops. owing to the dry
weather, and we have seen no accounts
IS yet Of timely rains. such as have
visited with blessing the fortunate
Willamette valley.
Here on the Sound the same COM
plant OF dryness prevails. Splendid
weather for haying it is true-which is
now at its height, and the grass crop is
unusually full and rich, having made
its maturity on the rains Of the spring
and the cool. damp weather of June
The hay crop is the great staple Of
Puget Sound agriculture, and to be
able to get the crop in sweet and dry,
without having been bleached, leached
and moulded by receiving several pour
ing rains while in the process of
curing in the field. IL q great advan-
tage.
Here on the Sound. where wetness 10
the rule and dry weather rather the
exception. there is little need to growl
about too much dryness The cool
nights, with their dews and damps,
refresh the growing crops throughout
the dryest summer months. aud the
crops are almost invariably heavy. In
fact. dry season is to be preferred as
conducting to a fuller maturity and
higher perfection of products in point
of quality. Certainly there is more
gained in this improvement of quality
than is lAt in quantity.
Another gain to agriculture in the
dry seasons is the facility which is thus
afforded for burning and clearing. In
wholly timbe-ed country this is an
advantage that is appreciated by the
settlers, and will no doubt be improved
to the fullest extent by them this year.
Almost every other year the summers
are 30 wet and the flood waters so high
that clearings cannot be burned off ex-
cept at such disadvantage and waste
Of time and labor 40 to render it al
most impracticabla. We believe a
wider acreage of cleared lands will be
brought under improvement in the
Western section of the Territory this
year than in any previous one since the
first settlement.
