Crop and Weather Report.
The weather conditions have been very
favorable to the growth of vegetation and
to farm work. The frasts Saturday morn
ing were not heavy enough to do any dam
age. The crops hav been planted except
corn, lata potatoes and buckwheat, and
these will be finished dnring the current
week. The rsin was of the greatest benefit,
for it softened the earth and accelerated the
growth of vegetation. Oats sown In Febru
ary measure from six to ten incbes in
height. Barley is beading out. Fall and
winter sown oats and wbeat have excellent
growth and stand. The correspondents re
pert, without exception, the unusually One
grain prospects. Wheat and oats late sown
bave growth above the ground. Early
planted potatoes have vines six inches high.
Clover and timothy are very beavy, but of
slow growth. .The first cutting of alfslfa
will soon begin. Gooseberries and cur
ranta are large enough to use. Wild straw
berries are ripening, and cultivated straw
berries are being marketed from about The
Dalles aad Rose burs. The Dalles M 200
miles or more north of Roeeburg, but had
the first box of ripe strawberries this year
on the 3d inst The fruit on neariy all var
ieties of trees baa set. Same correspond
ents report a dropping of cherries and Ital
ian prunes; this is reported principally
from Columbia, Multnomah, Washington
and Yamhill counties. Fruit-growers
tlmate that if only one-tenth ot the fruit
maturei, then the trees will be heavily
laden. It ii expected that considerable
pruning by band will be necessary. Hops
are making good growth; they are from
eight to tan feet in height The pasturage
haa greatly improved and stock la rapidly
fattening. Sheepsbearing Is In progress.
The general opinion among the correspond
ents is that the present conditions ladioats
an excellent harvest of grain, fruit, hops,
vegetables and all agricultural products.
