CROP REPORT.

The following bulletin has been is.
sued from the weather bureau, Wash
iington section, for the week ending
Sept. 9, 1901:
During the week ending September
9th, the temperature was below the
average throughout the State. In the
western section the fore and latter
|parts of the week were clear; and
from the 9th to the 7th it was cloudy
land showery. About the normal rain
fall occurred, except in the Olympic
Peninsula, where scarcely any fell.
Rain is much needed there for pas
'tures, late fruit, and root crops, and TO
distinguish forest fires. In the eastern
section cloudy and rainy weather has
prevailed, especially in the northeast
fern part, where copious rains have
fallen; in some instances harvesters
and threshers were interrupted by the
rain for few days, though no partic-
|ular injury has been reported.
The harvesting is practically over.
Inc wneat crop was neavy; quailty
fine. There has never been a more
'propitious season for the farmers than
the one just past. The rains came at
1.-The most oppertune time after har-
west, so that the good resulting will
more than offset any injury done; gar
Idens, pasturage, and all late root and
fruit. crops will be much benefited.
The digging OF potatoes has COM
'menced. The crop will be short, but
THE quality is reported good. Toma-
toes, early apples, plums, and prunes
Iare getting ripe, and are of fine quail
Iity; they are being shipped to market.
Hop picking commenced to-day,
Sept. 9th. The crop will be below the
average, although the quality is re-
ported good.

kindergarten Schools.

There is no question but that the
Kindergarten system OF education IN
primary schools is the best to enlist
! the attention of the pupil and give a
Firm and true start towards the temple
eof knowledge. In fact, we believe
That a modified form of object-teach-
/ ling il the best in both intermediate aud
/ advanced studies, for we find that the
1 adoption Of business forms in COM
smercial training is far better than the
of theoretical rules and
sformulas; that the medical student
;may know the name and location OF
severy organ, nerve and tissue, but
must supplement it with handling the
!! dissecting knife when dead, and we re-
i greet to say sometimes living objects,
4 are cut to pieces to arrive at an exact
understanding of physical anatomy.
.The education OF our professional men
statesmen and soldiers, partakes so
largely of practical methods of in
grating precepts that it comes very
near to the methods that have been
found so serviceable in developing the
:attention of youth and leading him by
.imperceptible steps from play to labor.
\ close study OF human nature startles
sthe mind on discovery that manhood
are, after all, only de
ivelopment of childish tendencies and
attributes; in other words. the man is
but the developed child, with diplom-
lacy at his elbow to cover up the sell
fish instinct which predominates in the
|chi!d, and makes his intercourse with
the world less tempetuous than that
.of the infant.
By all mea MS let the kindergarten
System prevail. 1t is the good begin
ming which insures an acceptable end.
kindergarten has grown in favor here,
land some OF the methods have become
SO firmly embodied in the advanced
grades, that it is a tacit recognition
of ample merit. They exist in all the
larger cities, one having been endowed
| in Seattle by the beneficence of lady
patron, and we now read that an effort
lis being made to establish a free school
of object-teaching at Ballard, a suburb
Iof our neighboring city SO noted for
enterprise. This is the first effort
made in the State, we believe, to af.
ford free kindergartens, and it is
worthy Of consideration whet Their it
might not be wise move to engraft
lit i'll some form upon our common
school system.

The Assurance Of Ignorance.


s Some aspiring member OF the editor
kial staff OF the Tacoma ledger has
kbcen publishing to the world how near
Eof kin he is to an ass, by learnedlv re-
Eviewing an able article in the current
snumber of Harper's Weekly
Z The article in question is from one
Soi the most distinguished scientists OF
fthc day, and only puts into more pop
Eular language the abs,ruse deductions
Fol Professor Darwin, the founder ot
evolution.
& When Darwin promulgated his lunar
stheory based upon mathematical re-
ksearch, his discoveries were considered
sof such vast importance in astronom-
sical investigation that the Royal So
sciety of London Immediately awarded
ehm gold medal, an honor which is
sconferred on none but those who are
eadjudged 10 stand in the foremost
Frank OF the worlds scientists But
Ehere is the way the Ledger man ex-
Eploits himself over the article in Har-
kper's Weekly, which simply reviews and
Eexplains to the general reader the
kwonders OF Darwin's theory:
4 Some scientist has been kind enough
Ito present through Hoiper's Weekly a
ffull account of the birth of the moon.
+ Nothing could be easier for genuine
kscientist. In the PRONUNCIATION OF theory
= it is blessed thing not to be hampered
Eby facts.
4 The scientist says that in a remote
kpast the world had day OF five hours /;
&that the globe could not have revolvcd
Rat greater speed than indicated by
this, and have remained an unbroken
kmass. AT this period the earth tossed
6the moon into space. and, as may be
Sobserved, it is there yet.
All this is tolerably interesting read
Ting, but it represents nothing but guess
wOrk. No man knows anything about
fthe manner or the time of the creation
of the moon, the material from which it
swas evolved, the forces which evolved it.
EFor all the scientist can tell, that orb is
las near the earth to-day as ever it has
been. Whether or not it was once a
part Of the earth, or whether the two
{bodies were simultaneously brought into
abeing by the power which is as great a
{mystery still as when David harped the
3majesty of creation is speculation. Sci
{ence may read story in the brook and
kthe fossil, but in the sky the passing CEN
tturies have writ no record"
These few words from the Ledger
present a fair sample of the kind
of stuff that makes up the editorial.
Now there is no astronomical fact
better understood to-day among lead
fling investigators than that at a remote
period in the dim past, the earth sped
Raround upon its axis in less than one
fourth OF the time she now takes to

The Pear Blight.

Prof. Piper, of the State Agricultu-
raj College, explains the cause of de.
4struction of many pear trees and loss
sof crop this year, by new disease
scalled fire blight" go called from the
fact that the leaves and twigs turn
black, leaving the tree appearing as il
tic had been scorched by fire. The
blight is caused by an attack Of a spe-
Icies of bacteria, beginning generally in
the blossom, and sometimes in the
,twigs and young leaves. The disease
works down between the bark and the
wood, and the foliage soon blackens.
1t usually works down into the twig
from the leaf. The usual appearance
'of the pest is during or just after the
Towering time. This year, probably
lowing to abnormal conditions, the dis.
lease did not become noticeable till the
fruit was fairly we'll grown. An at
tackled branch is usually killed, and if
neglected, dooms the whole tree.
The only effective remedy is to cut
Iout the blight, soon as it appears, tax
ling care to cut we'll below the infec-
ton. If the disease has run down a
short lateral to a main branch, the
latter must be cut off below the origin
Iof the lateral. II the disease reaches
the trunk the tree is doomed. Care
must be used in handling the knife or
shears or the injection may be COM
|municated to healthy trees. This
|scourge may likewise attack the apple
land ounce, but they are more resist.
lant and rarely suffer serious injury.
