The Hon Crnn.

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 25.-It is esti-
mated that not less than 10000 bales of
hops will be gathered this year from the
fields lying between Tacoma and the
Snoqualmie. About 10000 bales Lave
already been sold at Is cents per pound
by certain growers who did not expect
that the European demand for Wash
ington hops would be so great. Friday
last they were quoted at 81 cents, and a
cablegram from London intinIated that
buyers were buying madly and that hops
might go to any figure before the ex-
citement abated. The hop picking sea-
son will begin this year about September
10 and will last about three weeks. The
largest portion of this work will be done,
as formerly, by Indians, who are begin
ming to arrive from British Columbia.

The Census By Precincts,

WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 22.-Gover-
nor Ferry, of Washington, has tele-
graphed Senator Squire that it will be
impossible for the Legislature to apportlon
the state into Legislative districts until
the population by precincts and wards
is known. Senator Squire laid the mat
ter before the census officials and a large
force was at once set to work compiling
the returns of Washington in the man
ner SUGGESTED by the governor. This
will take some time, as the supervisor
made no division of the counties into
precincts.
1t will be an easy matter to give the
population by wards in Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane Falls, but there will be some
difficulty in dividing the other returns.
as each schedule will have to be exam
med separately. It is supposed that
the work will be finished in a few DAYS.

Oregon Crops.

PORTLAND, Or Aug. 25.-The follow
ing information relative to Oregon crops
and weather is CLEANED from the reports
Of the Oregon weather bureau:
The temperature has been below the
average for the week; it ranged from 43
to 80 degrees. An occasional sprinkle OF
rain fell. Generally partly cloudy
weather with some smoke prevailed.
The rain that fell was not sufficient to
do any material damage to the harvested
crops. Every section reports yields
better that were anticipated. Late sown
spring wheat it is thought will not be an
average. Oats and barley are generally
yielding more than was expected.
Hay is, as a rule, better as to quantity
and quality than was looked for, the
third crop in many sections being very
good. In Yamhill county, from field
of 600 acres, an average yield of thirty
eight bushels per acre was obtained. In
Benton county it is estimated that win
ter wheat will average thirty-one bushels
and spring wheat twenty-five bushels
per acre. Late sown oats have yielded
as high as sixty-ive bushels per acre.
Throughout Linn, Marion, Polk and
other valley counties the general average
has been far more than was anticipated.
The hop crop will be about 10000
bales and Of good quality. In Douglas
county fruit is plentiful, wheat and oats
in sections good crop, in others only a
fair crop. In Josephine and Jackson
counties watermelons are ripe and the
crop is unusually large. In the latter
county white grapes are ripe, other vari-
cites promise well. In Wasco county
wheat, oats and barley are nearly all cut.
The county as whole has irs5-class
yield. The general average yield of
wheat is twenty-five bushels per acre.
oats and barley forty bushels. In Sher-
man wheat and barley are turning out
well. Corn and potatoes promise well.
Good accounts of grain come from Gill
am and Morrow counties, in the latter
barley yields of twenty-six bushels per
acre are reported. In the neighborhood
of Eight Mile orchards are affected bv
green aphis, in Umatilla and Union
counties the wheat crop is all that could
be expected. The valleys of Willowa
county report most satisfactory yields.
In the Powder river valley more than
average Yields have been secured. The
hay crop IN the stock country was extra
good and more than enough is supposed
to be on hand for any winter weather
that may occur. On bottom and irri-
gated land through Klamath, Lake,
Harvey, Crook, Grant and Malheur
counties wheat, oats, barley and rye
yielded above the average.
Satisfactory yields are generally re-
ported and fair prices with an upward
tendency prevail.

st. Clair river tunnel, between Port
Huron and Sarnia, Ont, shook hands
with each other this morning under the

The Extra Session.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. Ex-Governor
Ferry this morning issued proclama-
ton for the special session of the legis-
lature to meet Wednesday September 8.
The returns of the precincts and wards

promised by the end Of the week, or in
time to lay before the legislature.
While the special session is for the ex-
press purpose of reapportioning the
state, any other business may be trans
acted which the legislature deems neces-
sary. 1t is not thought, however, that

The Mheat Pest.

Editor HERALD:
During the present season my atten-
ton was called to patches of grain that
appeared to be burnt, the tips of the
heads turning white as though frosted,
but close examination of the plant dis
closed puucture in the joint. made by
the ovipositor of some insect. I gathered
and sent specimens of the affected plants
to the department of agriculture, at
Washington, d. c., and in reply have
received the following, which may be of
interest to your readers:
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
Washington, d. G.
August IS, 1890.
Moses BULL, Pullman, Wash,
SIR: Your letter of the 18th inst. has
been referred, together with the accom-
panying specimens, to the entomologist,
who reports that the insect found in your
wheat is one of joint worms, and probab-
ly the species known as ''isosoma tritici
riley" This insect is treated in the an
nual report of this department for
1892. pages 1873 to 1877, and in the
annual report for 1886, pages $50 to 545.
The best remedy for all the joint worms
consists in the burning of the stubble
after harvest. Where wheat fields have
been allowed to grow up with weeds
after harvest moving machine should
be run over the ground and after the
weeds have dried sufficiently burning
of the stubble can be thoroughly done.
Rotation of crops will also be advan-
tageous, and if the pest becomes a SER
ious one it will also pay to burn the
straw and screenings after threshing.
Yours Respectfully,
EDWIN WILLETs,
Assistant Secretary
AS statistical correspondent of the de-
partment for many years, any informa-
ton of the extent Of damage by the
insect named, or any other farm pest,
will be thankfully received by
YouIs Truly,

How Il Lawyer Befriended q Fair-MInded
Young Newspaper Man.
A Clark street lawyer (no name by re-
quest)-I used to practice in the police
courts when l was a young man. One
day l had a bad case. For that matter
had a number of such. But this was
particularly bad. There was reporter
who wrote it up. 1t was case in which
he might have roasted me if he had
chosen to do SO, and / wouldn't have
blamed him. AS it was he did not neg
lect his duty. He referred to ne in
kindly manner. In after years. when I
had quit such practice, 1 had a murder
case in the criminal court. Charley
Reed was prosecuting attorney. Ny
case was bad one, will admit Grim
inal lawyers must have such cases. The
young man who had treated me so far
ly in the police court case reported the
murder case. and again he treated me
in the fairest way. The time came
when / quit criminal practice. The re-
lief l experienced when I realized that
in all probability l should never try a
criminal case again was like that which
comes to man when he comes out of a
nightmare. l became a corporation
counsel. One day a rich client came to
me and said he wanted to hire Short
hand clerk and asked me to recommend
some one. l thought of the reporter
who had treated me with so much COZ.
sideration and hunted him up. He told
me he was stenographer and secured
him the job. He kept it until his health
failed him and his employer sent him
away on vacation, paying his expen.
ses think he went to Europe. When
he came back he was still unable to
work. His employer let his salary &C
on, although the young man could do n.
work, until the time came when he
didn't need any salary, and then his
funeral expenses were paid by his en-
ployer. He was buried in Graceland. A
neat shaft marks the spot where he
rests-erected by his kind-hearted en-
ployer. l like to think of this story
and tell it sometimes when hear peo-
pie talking about the hard hearted

Rev. w. Fl. Murray, missionary at
Picking, has devised system for teach
ing the blind, and has reduced the Chi
nese language to 4OS syllables. By this
system the blind have been enabled to
| learn to read with marvellous facility.
The blind themselves are employed in
the stereotyping and printing of books,
which are produced at an amazingly low
rate, compared with books embossed for
the blind in this country. Among the
Chinese the blind are regarded with
great consideration, and they are watch
ed with intense interest when they read
with their fingers from the books which
they carry in their hands.
