WEEK WARM AND DRY.
Cutting Of Third Crop Of Alfalfa in lr
rigated Districts Progressing
Favorably.

The weather during the week COW
cred by this report was mostly warm
and dry, with light frosts in exposed
localities at night, which On the -14th
and 18th, were damaging to tender
vegetables, says the government crop
report and crop service for the week
ending September %. On Saturday,
however, it began to be cloudy and
cool, and showers set in near the
coast. On Sunday, the Goth, rain
was general over the western count
les, and in a portion Of the eastern
division OF the state. There was about
an inch of rainfall in the Sound coun-
try, but east Of the mountains the
rain was light.
The rain was heavy enough to again
delay haying, harvesting, threshing
and hop-picking, and perhaps still
further damage the hop crop. Stand
ing wheat was lodged and qnite badly
shattered and considerable of that in

ored; otherwise not materially dam.
aged. The greater part of the week
was very favorable for harvesting and
threshing, and a great deal of that
work was accomplished. Most of the
week was also favorable for hop
picking. The crop in the Yakima
country is apparently good; that in
the western yards is reported rather
light.
Cutting the third crop Of alfalfa in
the irrigated districts, and the sec
ond crop of clover in some OF the
western localities progressed favora-
bly,. Potato digging is we'll under way.
Although, in general, the crop is re-
ported large and of good quality, in
some localities of the eastern divis-
ion it is light, and in some parts of the
| western division there are reports of
| blight and rot.
| The rain has benefited pastures,
root crops and late fruit and vegeta-
bles. 1t has also put the soil in very
fine condition for summer fallow seed
ing, and fall blowing, although in the
dryer districts of the eastern counties
more rain is yet needed for seeding.
