Metoric Rock Bursts.

Monday night at 8 o'clock CHM
acum, a small farming center four
miles from Tacoma, experienced a
terrific explosion and jar, the re-
suit of o falling of q five thousand
pound meteor which burst with q
loud noise at the height Of a hum
dred yards, and after causing a
small sized cyclone of several min
utes duration, buried itself deep
in the muddy bottom Of neigh
boring lagoon. The meteor struck
the bottom with force enough to
break crockery in farm houses
three miles away, creating terror
among the residents, who believed
that the end ofthe world had come.
Ten hours after the occurrence the
waters of the lagoon were still bub-
bling and seething, and were found
to be hot enough to readily cook
eggs. A systematic dragging Of
the lagoon fsIled TO bring up any
of the celestial messenger, which is
believed to have buried itself deep
in the earth.

ser;ous Results Of Frosts .

fers an Illustration Of the damag-
ing results Of late frosts, which
caused the ruin Of a considerable
portion of early fruit through
ou. the Walla Walla valley and in
several sections of Umatilla county.
Among his orchard Of several hun
dred healthy fruit trees only very
small proportion will yield an av-
erage amount Of fruit. Nearly all
the cherries are killed by frosts
which occurred later than the first
week in May. Several varieties of
plums were injured, as we'll as 9TH
er fruits, and what in embryo
promised in the early season to be
an immense yield has been dimin-
ished to an unusually small crop.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1895-06-21

the Blue mountains fruit and ber-
ries are not so promising; the frost
injured them, and the yield will be
light. The hay crop will be good
in some locations, but will be poor
in others. From Grant county a
correspondent writes: Grain
crops are SO backward and the land
SO dry that unless we have copious
rains within short time they will
be failure. The hay meadows
are not going to turn off anything
like the normal crop. Grasshop-
pers. I fear, are going to clean the
country; they have already des-
troyed gardens, and will most like
ly harvest our second crop of alf-
alfa, they took my second crop
last year."
The stock is being driven to the
mountains for their summer past
urage; the range grass is only fair,
not SO good as last year.
The climatic conditions are such,
at present, that no general or cop
ious rains may be expected during
the next week, but warmer weather
will most likely prevail. Moder-
ate temperature, with good rains,
would yet materially improve con-
ditions throughout Eastern Ore
gon.

This machine was a source of won

While thus engaged he said it
was the second time he had seen
such a thing, his first experience
having occurred when he was on

tearing down the road on big wheels

EASTERN OREGON CROPS.
What the Agricultural Bureau has
Cleaned the Past Week.

What the Agricultural Bureau has
Cleaned the Past Week.
While the prospects for crops,
hay, cereal and fruit, were never
more promising in the west
ern portion of the state. the reverse
conditions prevail to the east Of the
Cascades. fhe reports from the
correspondents indicate very poor
outlook. Fall-sown or summer
fallowed wheat is promising, and
even under the adverse conditions
Of a dry cool period it will give an
average yield. Spring-sown grain
may make hay in some sections,
though it, like volunteer wheat,
will hardly be worth the cutting
for hay; the present outlook is for
almost a failure offspring grain and
volunteer grain. A correspondent
from Umatilla county writes: sit
is sure that this county will not
have one-half the number of bush
els of wheat that she produced
last year." A correspondent from
Morrow county writes: "With
good rain within two weeks we will
have a fair yield Of fall-sown sum-
mer fallowed grain; volunteer and
spring sown are gone entirely"
Similar reports come from Gillian,
Sherman, Wasco and Baker coun-
ties; in Union and Wallowa coun-
ties the conditions are somewhat
improved, though in portions of
the Grande Ronde valley the pros
poets are not so encouraging as
they might be. The correspondent
at Cove, Union county, reports:
Upon the whole, rather q discour-
aging outlook"
Flowing has been suspended due
to the ground being SO dry, and a
large amount of stubble ground re-
mains unplowed. The grasshop-
pers have done and are yet doing
damage to vegetation in Morrow,
Gillian, Sherman and Wasco coun-
ties; some farmers are cutting their
hay before they otherwise would do
so, SO as to prevent its being eaten
by the grasshoppers. So that be-
tween the dry weather and the
grasshoppers some farmers are hav-
ing hard time of it, and as one
writes: ut begins to look like
destitution."
