cool and cloudy the weather NAV be before
July i. fine growing weather can nearly
always be depended upon after that date
IN this section OF the state This week :
weather was = decided improvement on
that OF the preceding week. not that Il was
very much warmer, for the highest tenn
perasures we're from So degrees on the
coast 20 e degrees in the interior counties
which IS only degrees warmer than
during the week before, but that there was
more sunshine and consequently al crops
made appreciable progress. The lowest
temperatures ranged from 50 20 81 degrees.
Our Port Gamble reporter writes that il
was almost cold enough for frost in kitsap
county on Sunday night, but no frosts
have occurred this week. The wheAt and
oats crops have made good growth and
continue IN excellent condition If little
late. Near Brownsville, kltsap county,
the high winds of Saturday damaged the
crops 10 some extent. Further reports
from many orchards are to the effect that
the cherry and apple crops will be Of fair
quality but not so plentiful as in other
years. kaspberries are ripening fast IN
some sections and are of excellent quality.
Generally speaking. the fruit crop has
greatly improved during the past seven
days. at least where it has not been seri-
ously injured by the cold rains Of spring.
Favorable returns have come in from the
great hop yards. Hops did we'll during
the week and lice are not increasing. In
some counties haying is now in full blast.
Oar reporter at Meridian, Pierce county,
says that hay is very abundant in that
section and considerable of il is already
housed. This Is going to be great season
for haymakers.
Eastern Westinghouse week of warm
and growing weather has Just closed in
this part OF the state. Compared with the
-
have averaged much higher. the maximum
ranging between rs and 81 degrees. Fer
i've consecutive days the thermometer was
up to 80 degrees or over in Walla Walla
county, and some warm winds blew a.
tunes, but resulted in doing no injury TO
crops. The nights were not unreasonably
cool. the lowest temperatures being from
80 degrees in Spokane county to 6S degrees
in Walla Walla county on the warmest
nights. There is material improvement
noted in the condition OF all crops since
last reports. The Lakeside, 0kanogan
county, reporter writes that "crops never
looked better, and are now beyond the
reach OF drouth." A good shower of
rain fell in portions of Spokane county
on the 4th. In other sections the
rainfall was very scant. Fall wheat
has been greatly benefited by the warm
sunny weather of the past seven days.
The injury TO some wheat fields from rust
has spread to portions of Spokane county.
but so far is not general or serious in that
part of the state. The barley crop in
Walla Walla county are in very promis-
ing condition at this writing. In that
county most farmers are luoilant over the
bright prospects for good crops this year
and they say that, as rule, wheat is now
too far advanced TO be damaged by the hot
winds which only tend TO ripen it. Fruit
has matured more than last week and Is
reported in good shape. Haying has be-
gun in earnest along the Columbia river.
A good hay crop is assured.
