Flattering Prospects for Crops.

much surprised at the resources OF the Ellens-

simply marvelous-2 year-old pruue trees five
to SIX inches around, aud 4-yesrold pear trees

BY irrigation, however, as Mr.. Blalock Heaps a
stream OF water running within q few feet of
his trees all through the dry season.

Big Crops IN the Wheat Country.
snokaue Spokesman. June p.

6fphcL| SfOAC-sAaAs S9s~
The Spokesman crop report covering the agri-
cultural districts OF Eastern Washington aud
Western Idaho shows an encouraging state of
affairs among farmers. The acreage, as an
nouneed in previous reports, is largely in excess
of what it was last year, aud the yield in most
sections shows for this season en- increase pro-
portionate to the acreage. This icing the case,
the matter OF another grain blockade rests en-
tirely with the railroad companies The crops
are now far enough along for the railroad COM
panles to take due notice. The rolling plains
and benches OF the Palouse, covered
with grain, do not escape some
of the evils that are incident
to agriculture in all countries. In the Walla
Walla valley two hot days dried up considerable
wheat, but heavy rains carne 10 the rescue, and
June 10 was passed IN safety. After that date
the Walls Walla crop runs no risk. IL Colam-
bia county cold winds damaged the crops some
what In the vicinity of Endicotr the damage
from the same source Is fully % per cent. At
Oakesda!e, one OF the worst blocked shipping
points in the Palouse country last season, there
Will be fully l,29,o0o bushels OF grain marketed
this year. This will be an increase OF 30
per cent. This is pretty much the story
of the entire Palouse country. In GER
tain sections, of which Adams county is
an example, the output of grain will fall
short on account of drought Excessive rain
fail has hurt the crop in other sections The
story told by grain shipments this fall, however,
will be convincing of the greatness of the Pa
