IDEAL WEEK FOR HARVESTING.
Cutting Of Spring Wheat CompIeted
Except in Late Localities,

Ihe weekly crop bulletin issued by
the department of agriculture says
that the past week has been ideal for
harvesting and threshing. The cutting
OF spring wheat is completed in all but
the late localities. Thresning of WIN
ter wheat is generally over, with very
good yields, and that of spring wheat
is about one half to two-thirds done.
Inc yield varies greatly according to
locality. In certain parts of Whitman.
Walla Walla, and southeast counties II
is about average, but generally it is
below average. and in many localities
very light. The Oat yield is below
average generally in the eastern dis
tricts. and also in the western, except
on the flats bordering the Sound Po-
tato digging, so far as done, shows
that not more than half a crop need
be expected. Roots will not do as we'll
as usual unless rain sets in at once.
Hop picking has begun in some yards,
but it is too early. Picking will be
general next week. The yield will be
light to average and of fair to good
quality.

1900 to $500 in favor of continuing the
