ther Crop Bulletin,

Following is the weekly weather crop
bulletin for the week ending July l6, is
sued by the state weather bureau:
Western Washington-Of the weather
conditions that have prevailed in this
section during the week just closed our
old reliable crop correspondent OF Ma
drone Kitsap county, has this much to
say: "No better weather needed That
is what almost every farmer in Western
Washington thinks. The thermometer
rose to the S8-degree notch in the inter-
ior on the 14th, which is about 10 de-
grees warmer than the preceding week.
The lowest temperatures were between
30 and 64 degrees and no frost. Every
crop grown in this district has made
splendid growth. Near Brownsville,
Kitsap county, wheat is ripening fast,
and will be ready to harvest in week
or so. The oat crop is in the milk in
many counties and looksvary promising.
For the cultivation OF hops we have had
fine week S weather, says our Kent,
King county correspondent. Lice are
under control and doing no injury worth
mentioning. From Beach, Whatcom
county, comes the news that the oat crop
will be immense and will be cut inside
OF fortnight. Haymakers have worn a
very broad smile all the week, for there
has been abundant sunshine, and con-
siderable hay has been cut and secured
in some counties. Our Port Gamble re-
porter says he has second crop OF red
clover which is now fourteen inches
high. There has been practically nc
rainfall this week, except u very light
shower in portions OF King county. Late
potatoes need little rain, but ar not
suffering much. Fruit has made . grea
advance. On the whole this has been {
glorious week for the farmers.

from this section OF the state for the weeL

nature. Our WaverIy, Spokane county
correspondent writes that crops have
made wonderful progress. The highest
temperatures were from rs to 96 degrees
or a little higher than last week. IhC
nights were bit cooler than during the
preceding seven days, the lowest tenn
perature being between 48 and 81 degrees
No frosts were reported. With the eX.
ception OF light rain at Walla Nalla
the week has been without precipitation
This lack OF moisture has not affected the
crop much. Our Davenport, Lincoln
county, reporter writes that "Never were
the crops in that section in a more prom
ising condition than right now At
Minnie Falls, same county, the hot
weather has done some injury to grain
on fall and spring plowing, and squirrels
are nearly all gone. The prospects for
good wheat crops continue good near Ro-
salia, Whitman county. The correspond
ent at Bemis, Adams county, writes that
a good many headers are now at work in
that section harvesting rye and barley
also. The weather has been favorable tC
the hop crops which have made gooc
growth. "Nature has done more thar
her share in these parts, says our Spo.
kane correspondent, "and crops are look
ing fine" Haying has been pushed Will
great activity in all districts, and neal
Orondo, Douglas county will be oyel
with by the end OF this week. The hay
crops generally are said to have beer
very satisfactory this season. Fruit ha'
