tary Iusk on the reclamation Of arid lands
in Ike State OF Washington. He reports an
abundant rainfall between the Cascade
range and the ocean. The attention Of the
department Is called to the fertility Of the
Skagit belts on Puget Sound. He reports
no progress toward the construction of irri-
cation work in the valley of Yakima since
the Senate committees visit IN 1889, but
saws a great work is contemplated by the
Northern Pacific, Yakima and kittitas r.
Ti-atiOn Company, the work 10 cost several
millions OF dollars. Tho Northern Pacific
Railway Company, having contributed land
at a very low price, Is rendering great aid
to this work. He reports the Wenass Val
ley impeTfectly irrigated, but considers it
reciainabie. Franklin County possesses
rich soil, but Is barren and without lTT!ga-
ton. He states that plan i suggested TO
take out 4 canal at the head Of Priest
Rapids which would cover a large portion
OF these iTrIgaUle lands. Nalla Wa!la
County produces barley, wheat and oats
without irrigation, but the fruit and vege-
tables are in need of irrigation. Walla
Nalla River supplies water for this pun
pose. No fertilizers OF any sort are used on
wheat lands, and irrigation at Walia Walla

CALIFORNIA CROPS.
Review OF Last Season by the Agricultural
Department.

a Review Of Last Season by the Agricultural
Department.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The monthly
crop bulletin, just issued by the Agricul-
tural Department, says Of California: The
corn crop is good and above the average.
The hay crop was also good one, but prices
are low. The hop crop has been good in
quality, and especially good in quantity, and
the product is bringing good prices. The
fruit crop, though not generally so large,
averaged well, on account Of the prices real
lied in Eastern markets. Large additional
plantations VIII be made during the coming
winter. The grape crop has also been I'M
usually good in quality and quantity where
ever vineyards were healthy. Rai>ins and
dried grapes were damaged in some sections
by early rains, but not to any serious eX-
tent.
As near as can be ascertained the wine
crop Will be about J., 100000 gallons. of more
than average quality, and as the old stocks
were mostly cleaned out before this vintage
the demands Of the trade are constantly in-
cTeR>JHg and We may hope for revival of
the industry in the next few years The
prices OF grapes for wine-making have al
vauced fully one-third and a hopeful feeling
prevails. However, the rayaseS Of puylloX-
era and Of the Southern vine disease have
been very serious and the area Of protective
vineyards VIII be very much decreased. The
planting of American resistant vines offers
the only eEectual remedy.
