Taking the country at large, this
promises to he an apple year, although
early brilliant outlook is not always
followed by full fruitiOu. AS noted in
recent issues of the American Agricul-
turist, orchards generally blooined very
full and set of fruit good to heavy.
Some exceptions are noted, bit per-
haps not enough to effect the general
situation. June l the prospect for the
apple crop was exceedingly favorable.
With the exception of Tennessee, Ken
lucky and Ohio, where the set of fruit
was only moderately satisfactory, every
western state showed a condition high
enough to indicate decidedly above an
average crop.
For twelve months ending June! 80
| Puget Sound exported over 200, 000
barrels of -four. breaking all previous
! records by more than one third, and
for the first time the three leading
Pacific coast districts are on Il practical
ly even basis. there being less than
loo, 900 barrels difference i'm shipments
from the Sound, Columbia river and
| San Francisco. There can be little
question, with the present expansion
in exports manufactured bread ,tuii3
however, that Puget Sound must here
after take the leading position, where
a decade ago foreign flour shipment
was u comparatively unknown guam

Some lawless depredations by fisher
men and beach-cOnibers among the
islands are reported. A letter received
10y Il gentleman OH the Bay says that
the cook employed at Sharpless' camp,
near Doe Bay, shot and killed steer
belonging TO Il neighbcring farmer and
was compelled to pay $22 so, which
was less than the animal was worth,
but was all the money he had. AT an
other place near by, a poultry house
was raided and nearly all the edible
stock taken. The writer of the letter
said that the raids were not confined
to shore-line places and chat the people
were beginning to think that another
, hanging might be necessary to put 6
j stop to the depredatiois.-Herald.
