Vis Crops. -The Iullowln report (or week ending August 17th is lurnUhod by the U. 8. D. A. from Portluml olllce. . liar venting and thruahing continue. The weather has. been favoruble (or thli work, as well as fur plowing (or full-gown grain Plowing in being punlied with vigor, and more than uhuuI will lie done. The threshing returns show the full effects of the unfavoruhle year. Farms that have always hud from 35 to 40 IjuhIiuIs of full-sown wlieut pcrucro, have, this year, from 20 to 30 bushels. Knrly spring- sown g'uln is poorer yielding only from 10 to 18 bushels per acre. Lute-sown spring grain will yield even less. The gruin la aomewhut amuller, and in places shriveled ; this was caused by the hot, dry weather of July. For the first time in the history of the country the grain crop la poor in a comparative sense. Oats are proportionately poor, and the same with other grain. Harvesting and threshing will continue for two weeks longer. Reports this week indicate tliut the ruins did no dumuge, but were of great benefit to gardens and lute-sown grain. The potuto crop waa injured by the July weather, but it has improved since the rain. Corn is unusually good. Corn ia not grown extensively in Oregon, for the cool nights are injurious to its growth una development; this year, however, the heat of July, which wus unusual, proved very beneflc' . to the corn, and the ruins then following gave it unuBtiul growth. Hops are yet in burr, and from present indications the picking will be 10 days Inter than usual Many hop-yards have not been cultivat ed this year, owing to the poor hop market, but those that have been culti vated are making good growth. Prunes are ripening, but owing to the failure of the pruno crop many growers will not have enough to run their dryer, while others will club together arid in this way obtain enough green fruit to warrant the running of the dryers. Peaches are ripening, but they, too, nro a vety deficient crop Apples are not as good as usual, neither inquuntity nor quality . Peurs are ripening and they will be a very fair crop. Bluuklierriea continue to be quite plentiful. Watermelons and cassabasare ripe and nro very plentiful. The fruit crop being a partial failure, and the grain crop as well, causes some to report the condition, really worse than what they are. The climatic conditions of May and fore part of June were phenomenal, and the result is a phenomena in the grain and fruit ; that is, a shortage, conditions new to Oregon. Pasturage continues in fair condition ana siock is quite Lit ami doing very well. Lvgost Ins. Busli eis F. E. Donaldson Portland Exposition.
