Although the eastern part of the itnt ha generally been famous for jits ariiity thp western P'trt tr ! .'eavy rainfall, the average precipita tion during the summer months shows but little difference between me i sections In rainfall. In 1907, for Instance, Pendleton s rainfall during the summer montns exceeded that of either Eugene or Al bany. In that year the precipitation here during July, August and Septem ber amounted to 2.07, Albany's rain fall was 1.95 Inches and that at Lu gene 1.78. It Is a striking comment upon the fine and equable climate 'of this sec tion of the country and data given In the booklet seems to Indicate that the valley, which has sneered at irriga tion here will In the end have to come to It to get the best results from It own agriculture. According to .s statement use of water at right time In the valley showed the following in crease In production of crops common in that district: Corn. 71 per cent; po tatoes, 180 per cent; onions, 150 pel cent; upland hops, 80 per cent, and clover 300 per cent. Although In summer rainfall Pen dleton has equal or even better advan tages than the valley during the jest of the year, the precipitation here If- so much less as to make the climate considerable more desirable, and com pared with Albany's 44 Inches annu ally, Pendleton's 14.5 Inches gives e promise of lots of sunshine and pleas ant davs." The load precipitation i; divided on ah average thus: Sprlng.-t 4.2 Inches, summer, 1.8 rhches; au tumn, 3.8 Inches, and winter, 4.7 In ches. Contrasted. Albany has 10.9 In dies in spring, 2 In summer. 11.5 ir fall and In winter 19.8 Inches, while the-pther valley towns sho wa slmlla: division of a rainfall that runs as high as 45 Inches per annum, the sum of Portland's wetness.
