snuirreIs IN walla waIla valIeu

From time to time inquiries have been
made OF rsnchers about the squirrel
pest, and it ia learned that they are very
numerous in spots, says the Walls Walla
Statesman. In the Touchet section a
team can hardly be driven along the
road without crushing out the life OF the
young ones, and on either side OF the
road in the fields the destructive pests
can be seen actively at work. A farmer
who drove into Walla Walla from Eu
reka fat, distance of 20 miles, stated
lh,t he only saw four or five squirrels,
aud in his vicinity, the pests are not
nearly as numerous as they were year
ago.
The squirrels as yet are only in patch
es, those which were worked with
poison last season being comparatively
free from them. The pests are fast
spreading, aud unless united effort il
made by every one purchasing strych'
nine and putting in sope gooi har d
work, much damage will bs the result
to the growing crops.

Crop Prospects,.

A farmer brought q sample Of his
growing wheat to Walla Walla, which
measured II inches ia length He
said this was not procured from an ieo-
lated bunch, but was fair sample OF q
large field. The weather mas been very
favorable, indeed, for both fruit and
cereals, says the Walla Walla Stategman,
and slight frosts one or two nights re-.
Gently have done no damage at all, not
even to the tender apricot and such bios
SONS which are IN bloom. The promise
OF a big crop is very flattering among all
fruit trees and the chances Of killing
frost, as the season is well advanced, are
comparatively slight.
