THE PULLMAN HERALD.
Saturday, July %, 1904
State Crop Bulletin.

Week ending July IS, 1904
Beginning with Monday the entire
week was exceptionally cool, ex-
cept the fore part in the eastern
counties. Light frost occurred on
the 18th in some localities, but
probably did no damage.
The long drought of three weeks
that had prevailed over the western
division of the state was broken on
the 14th by rain, which continued
at intervals until the 18th, and
which was of very great benefit to
late spring wheat, late oats, pota-
toes, sugar beets, hops, vegetables
and pastures. In some localities,
as in Whitman and the southeast
counties, spring wheat improved so
much that it will make an average
crop without further rain. In
others the showers were too light
ITO do much good, and furthermore,
they came too late to save the crop.
Goats were benefited, but, except in
the moisture localities, they will
still be short. Potatoes, although
greatly improved, will not be an
extra good crop, except in the irri-
gated districts, where the outlook
is fine, and where large quantities
of early ones are already being
shipped. The showers were very
beneficial in the irrigated districts.
A second crop of alfalfa is now
ready to cut,
The rainy spell caught consider
able late hay down, and badly
damaged it; it also lodged late hay
that was uncut in the lowlands, and
together with high winds, caused
considerable lodging of fall wheat.
Some wheat was damaged in cutting
and in the sack. The harvesting
of fall wheat has been in progress
during the week in early localities,
and will be general next week. The
yield is apparently good one.
PALoUsE COUNTRY - Colfax -
Crops generally benefited by rain,
but some damage was done to
standing grain where growth was
heavy. Harvest is in progress in
west and ON south of county with
more than an average yield. Col
oton-Wind and rain has lodged
much heavy grain. Considerable
hay down and damaged. Endicott
Showers were fine for spring sown
grain. Fall wheat will make good
crop of No. l wheat. Spring wheat
filling nicely and in one more week
will be out of danger. Rosalia-
Rain was beneficial to all spring
crops and gardens but damaging to
hay, which is nearly all cut. Win
ter wheat will soon be ready to cut.

Washington at the Worlds Fair.

w WA ob tAO w OIIu Z All.
The Trade having visited the
Worlds Fair and absorbed some of
the glow thereof, holds that there
is no just cause for this adverse
criticism of Washington's exhibit at
the greatest exposition the world
has ever known. We have, on the
other hand, every reason to feel
pride in the ST 0wing that our state
is making at the exposition.
The state building, which has
been the subject of much criticism,
is the most unique building on the
grounds. This criticism has I'M
doubtedly come from people who
expected to see in the state build
ing complete exhibit of the states
manifold resources, overlooking the
fact that the proper place for these
exhibits is in the classified expo
sition buildings provided for that
purpose by the fair executive. In
fact, the primary purpose of the
state building at these expositions
is home or rallying point for Wis
itors from that state, and all Of the
state buildings, with two or three
exceptions, were erected and fitted
up for this purpose, and do not con-
tain exhibits. The Washington
state building is not only a home
for her citizens, and a place at
which to enlighten a world of Wis
itors as to her resources aud oppor-
tunities, but is, in and of itself, a
comprehensive and practical exhi-
bit of the greatest resource of the
state.
In the construction of the build
ing none of the usual styles of ar
chitecture were followed, the idea
of the architect, evidently, looking
to the exhibit, rather than to some
approved style of architecture. The
snperstructure rests upon eight up
right sticks of fir, 24x24 inches and
10 feet long. The leading woods,
fir, cedar, spruce and hemlock, are
shown in the construction. The
building is in the form of an octa-
gon, is probably 1876 feet high, and
surmounted by an observatory
which commands fine view of the
fair grounds.
It has entrances on four sides and
is we'll located to attract attention.
1t adioins the government building;
lust across the street is the govern
ment bird cage and Michigan build
ing, while on the other side are the
Louisiana and Missouri buildings
the latter the finest state building,
and the scene of more public func-
tions than any other building on
the grounds. 1t is on the main
thoroughfare from the Inside Inn
and other state buildings to the St.
Louis plaza and center of attrac'
tons, and on the route of the auto
mobile drives. This favorable loca-
ton, magnificent long timbers and
originality of reconstruction are draw
ing cards, and it is reported that
the building is thronged from
morning to night with crowds OF
people, who come not only to
wonder at the display, but to seek
definite information concerning the
resources of our wonderful state.
