CROP REPORT.

Following is the weather summary
for the week ending on the 2Ist inst,
issued by the observation bureau at
Seattle:
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 Nth
and 18th, were damaging to tender
vegetables. On Saturday, however, it
began to be cloudy and cool, and show
ers set in near the coast. On Sunday
the Goth, rain was general over the
western counties and in a portion of
the eastern division of the State.
There was about an inch OF rainfall in
the Sound country, but east of the
mountains the rain was light.
The rain vas heavy enough to again
delay haying, harvesting, threshing
and hOp-picking. and perhaps still fur
Their damage the hop crop. Standing
wheat was lodged and quite badly
shattered and considerable of that in
the shocks were badly bleached. Oats
and barley will be somewhat discolored;
otherwise not materially damaged.
The greater part OF the week was very
favorable for harvesting and threshing,
and a great deal of that work was &C.
complished. Most of the week was
also favorable for hop-picking. The
crop in the Yakima country is appar-
emily good; that in the western yards
is reported rather light.
Cutting the third crop of alfalfa in
the irrigated districts, and the second
crop OF clover in some of the western
localities progresses favorably. Pota-
to digging is we'll under way. AL.
though, in general, the crop is re-
ported large and of good quality, in
some localities of the eastern division
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 fruits and vegetables
1t has also put the soil in very fine
condition for summer fallow seeding.
aud fall blowing, although in the dryer
districts of the eastern counties more
rain is yet needed for seeding. Har-
vesting would have been over in all
localities before this, but for the delay
occasioned by the rains. A few good
days will see it finished in even the
latest districts. Much winter wheat
is now being sown, the weather being
favorable. Pears are now ripening
and are heavy crop. Itatian prunes
are about ready for the dryers. Apples
are reported only half a crop in several
localities.
