Weather Crop Bulletin No 10 of the,
Oregon State Weather Service for
Eastern Oregon.
Weather-No rain fell during the past
week. The weather has been generally
clear, with quite hot sunshine i'm the,
afternoon. The maximum temperature
ranged from 6s to 80 deg. the minimum
ranged from 4s to "a deg. except south
of the Blue mountains, where it ranged
from 80 to so deg. These temperatures
were from to 9 deg. higher than the
preceding week.
Crops-There are few correspondents
| who report even fair condition of the
crops except fruit, while the majority of
them report decidedly poor prospects.
The absence of rain has been very in
furious to all grain crops. The temper
eture has been free from any extreme
heat, and itshas been due entirely to the
cooler weather that the conditions are
as good as they are. A few extracts
from the report of the correspondents
may cenvey-a better idea of their
state of affairs than a summary could
