With all the talk about the extra
legislative session, the reduction If sal
aries, or =" fiat" salaries and retention
in Office. it is a safe proposition to
state that there has been more wind
than anything else employ ID. The
people need not expect very much re-
trenchment anywhere, when it is to
come through politics. If retrenchment
is made through politics I: enc point,
extravaganza is likely TO break out at
another. 1t takes whole lot to run
politics-all that can be squeezed cut,
and the only retrenchment that tan be
expected from political sources is in
the noise, and this curtalled only on
the side that is in, and while IL is in
and drinking the cream.

Weekly Crop Bulletin


Week ending Sept. 10, 1902.
The week was dry throughout, except
for one or two light showers in the
northwest counties and warm, except
the last two DAYS which were noticeably
cool Beginning on the 18th dense
smoke from forest fires overspread the
sky in the western counties, shutting
out the light of the sun and by the 18th
the smoky conditions had spread over
the eastern art of the state also. Much
damage was done bv the timber fires in
some localities of the western counties.
Rain to extinguish the fires is anxiously
awaited.
The showers in the northwest counties
were too light to be beneficial, and the
protracted drought has about used up
the pastures. 1t has caused vegetables
to stop growing and to ripen premature
ly. The late potato crop and the root
crops will be somewhat shortened.
Harvest is about over in the western
section. The oat crop is lighter than
usual, bnt generally of good quality.
Fruit is dropping badly. Prunes in
some localities are heavy crop, but as
a rule, apples are not. Hop picking is
now fairly under way. and, unless wet
weather sets in early, crop of splendid
quality will be gathered.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-09-23

Wheat harvest is over in Spokane and
Walla Walla counties, and fall wheat
seeding has begun. Rain is necessary
to put the soil in good condition for seed
ing. In Whitman county little cut
ting, and half of the threshing remains
to be done. The yield in Whitman
county is good, and in some cases excel
lent. In Adams county it is below aver
age. In Lincoln and Douglas counties
the harvest is nearly over and thresh-
ing half through. The third crop of al
falfa has been saved in Yakima county.
