STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

1t is expected that the clip from
$4,000 sheep now being sheared in
the Kittitas valley will average bet
ter than 10 pounds per animal, and
that the total will be close to 1,000,-
900 pounds.
A report from Richland says that
the valley is preparing for a bumper
fruit crop. Some of the fruit has
been injured by the frosts, but the
large acreage Of strawberries gives
promise of an immense yield. 1t is es-
timated that there will be 10000
crates.
Professor E. V. Ellington of the
University of Idaho, has left for the
East to purchase cattle Tor the uni
versity. About 300 orders for COWS
have been placed with Professor Ell
lington by dairymen and farmers of
the state. Only high-grade animals
will be purchased.
A shortage of grass seeds is caus
ing some apprehension among grow
ers in the Kittitas valley. Alfalfa
seed has advanced to zoe a pound al
Ellensburg, and clover has advanced
from "a to 81 cents to 30 cents 6
pound. Timothy is fairly plentiful
and holding at the old price.
With dangers from frost eliminated
and blossoms far enough advanced tt
make estimating fairly accurate, the
Wenatchee valley, it is predicted by
expert horticulturists, will produce {
fruit crop at least 20 per cent greater
than ever before. The acreage yielC
will be normal or slightly below nor

probably swell the total output TO
