Prospects Bright
For Grain Yields

Good prospects for high grain
and hay Yields in Washington were
reported by the cooperative crop
weather report Of the department
Of agriculture and weather bureau.
The bulletin said crop growth
and weather for the season had
been ideal. Livestock was reported
in excellent condition and the
cherry crop was large. although
damaged considerably by rain in
some localities.
Weather conditions favored grain
crops in the Big Bend and Palouse
areas Of eastern Washington. and
pasture conditions were excel
lent" The bulletin said spring
sown grain and hay crops are in
heavy stands and developing rap
idly"
Light rains and high tempera-
lures stimulated crop growth in
western Washington during the
past week. First hay crops weree
large. and prospects were good for
high yields from second crops.
