REPORT OF RECLAMATION SERVICE
the Bureau for Gratuitous
Distribution.

The second edition of the Third
Service, now published by the United
States geological survey, is worthy of
more special attention than was the
first edition, because it is accompanied
by a collection of SO maps, separately
bound, which were prepared after the
close Of the field season as Illustrations
to the text. AS the accompaniment is
these maps may give to many a clearer
idea of the reclamation work projected
and now in progress than does the
written record.
This report shows that examina-
tons and surveys, as required by law,
have been carried on throughout the
arid regions, and that construction
has been begun and has progressed
rapidly wherever the surveys have
demonstrated the practicability of a
project. Taking into account the
wide distribution of operations and
the initiative and judgment which
must be left to the engineers, it is
believed that the results Of the work
are highly satisfactory.
This report is published for general
distribution and may be obtained on
request to the director Of the geological
survey The usual quota is also sup
piled to members of congress.

Dry Weather Hurts Vegetation
Walla Walla gardeners are complain
ing of the long continued dry spell and
limited receipts of all varieties of early
garden stuff is proof thai the drought
is seriously affecting the maturing of
early vegetation. Asparagus, one Of
the biggest money makers for Walla
Walla gardeners, seems to be particu-
larry affected by the dry weather and
receipts are not within forty per cent
of what they were last season. Rhu-
barb, young onions and spinach are
standing the drought well and receipts
at local commission houses have been
liberal this week with a keen outside
demand. Gardeners estimate that new
potatoes will be two weeks later this
year than last.
