CROP-WEATHER BULLETIN 30.
A Weekly Review of the Prevailing
Conditions in Oregon.

The following crop-weather bulletin
is compiled from reports received by
the Oregon State Weather Bureau,
cooperating with the United States
Signal Service, for the week ending
Saturday, September 28:
The temperature for the week has
been about normal. On Wednes-
day it arose to 80 degrees or above
i'm many sections of the state, but
since then there has been decided
fall.
Last Saturday night, Sunday and
Monday general showers were ex-
perienced, being quite heavy in the
northern part of the Willamette
valley and along the northern part
Of the coast. At the mouth of the
Columbia river over an inch fell.
The weather conditions Friday and
yesterday were favorable for rain,
but 50 far only light sprinkles have
occurred. The rain in the fore part
of the week again cleared the at
mosphere of the dense smoke, but
by the end of the week it was quite
smoky again, showing that exten-
sive forest fires yet prevailed in sec
tions of the state. In Curry county
the most destructive forest fires
known since the settlement Of the
country have prevailed, large bodies
of fine timber, grass and stock
ranges have been destroyed-not
only these have been burnt but also
sawmills, barns, hays;acks, fences
and in one instance house was
burnt, the occupants barely escaping
with their lives. The amount of
sunshine has been about normal.
Foggy mornings have generally
prevailed in the western portion of
the state. Frost occurred in the
plateau Of Eastern Oregon during
the week. but no damage was done
or is reported.
Since the cool weather set in, many
Of the springs and wells Of Eastern
Oregon appear to have become
stronger.
In Jordan valley, Malheur coun-
ey, baled hay is selling ut $3.50 and
Sl5 per ton on the ranch and grain
y cents per pound. In Cook coun-
~ it is reported that wheat is selling
at ~. 80 per bushel.
In the Willamette valley the
showers of the fore part Of the week
were very valuable. In places the
VIII eat lately sown has already ap-
peared above the ground. There
has been quite large amount al
ready sOwn and the weather condi-
tions have been favorable to ii.
In the Umpqua valley fruit dry
ing is nearly at an end and large
shipments Of dried fruit of all kinds,
especially prunes, will be made.
In the Rogue river valley grape
picking for wine continues. The
yield of white grapes around Jack
sonville has been very good. Grass
valley, Wasco county, frosts are of
almost nightly occurrence. Pota-
toes are very scarce, the crop being
an entire failure. This has been II
disasterous year on the farmers of
this section, and some are moving
away to try to better their condition.
In Sherman county fall grain is
being sown. A larger acreage than
ever before will be put in the coun-
try. The increased acreage will be
about 30 per cent. The rain of the
2lst and 22d was quite general
throughout Eastern Oregon, but
hardly sufficient fell to be of any
real benefit. The wheat market yet
remains inactive, but small amount
of wheat is moving. The warehouses
in the interior are generally filled to
their full capacity.
