The following is general statement of

The crops of Eastern Washington will be
damaged to the extent of from one-third
to One-half on the lighter lands; on the
heavier portions there will be fair, though
taken on the whole, less than an average
crop, This statement is based on present
conditions. The ears are now filling well,
except on the light lands, and will con-
tinue to do so, for there is an abundance
of moisture in the ground, unless there be
a recurrence of drying winds, which, how
ever, rarely happens.

a fair yield.

markably well throughout the county.
