SHORT CRops.-A farmer who
resides in White river valley
gives 1t as his opinion that the
valley will produce only half Of
u crop Of vegetables this season
This he attributes not so mucn
to tho dryness OF the season as
to the fact that the SHOWS of the
mountains melted last spring, in
stead Of during the summer, as
Is usually the case. Generally
during the dry season the SHOWS
on the mountains melt and fill
the channel of the river. This
water soaks through and moist
ems the soil, turnishingthe crops
with the required moisture. This
summer The water in the river
has been very low, and the
channel has acted as an immense
drain to rob the valley of the
little moisture it possessed.
Potatoes are not as plenty as
usual, but there are more than
enough to supply the home
demand, and prices need not
rule high unless a part Of the
crop is shipped to San Francisco.
The attention of the street, Commits.
| missioner is called to the defective
condition of the sidewalk on second
