The influence of the weather on crops
and outdoor operations throughout the
Pacific coast district for the week end
ing April 26, la reported as follows by
Edward A, Beals of the United States
department of ' agriculture. "
Little or no rain fell in the district during
the .week except is central Arizona where goou
showers occurred, and they resulted in wash
ing out a dam near Florence, causing a shortage
of irrigation water in that locality. - 'A'emper
atores averaged considerably above normal
throughout the district except along the imme
diate coast where fog prevailed to : greater
ertent than nmial. The warm dry weather
was favorable for harvesting and threat in but
aggravated tha' forest fire situation in. toe north
I'acifo states. - , s
' Oraln Crops
Harvesting and threshing of wheat, barley 'and
cot proceeded rapidly in the Pacific Northwest,
under the influence of the dry and warm weather.
In Nevada, tha harvesting of wheat and barley
Las practically been completed and threshing
is in progress, yields being good - in the west
and south portions and poor in the northeast.
Harvesting of these crops is nearly finished also
in tha early 'sections of Utah, Washington and
Oregon. Oats are ripening rapidly in uorth
vertera Washington and some have already been
harvested. Corn is making good progress in
the Boise valley of Idaho, but is late in Oregon;
in California it is fair to good. Preparing of
ground for tha sowing of fall wheat was begun
in Washington.
Truck Oreo and Potatoes
A good crop of lima beans is being gathered
in California. Potatoes and late vegetables need
rain where not irrigated but where irrigated
ant doing well ia Oregon and a good crop of
potatoes is being dug in California,
I Hay FiaMs
- Irrigated alfalfa is doing well in Utah and
Washington and the weather is especially favor
able for wed development. Alfalfa seed ia being
threshed in southwestern Arizona. In extreme
western Nevada . an exceljent second crop ef al
falfa has been secured and in the Fallon district,
the third crop is making good progress. In ir
rigated localities in Washington tha cutting- of
tiie third crop is -becoming general. '
Range and Llvsttock
The effects of the long-continued drouth are
very Boticeabla on the ranges ia an the states
in this district Only in Arizona are stock and
ranges improving, but even in that state rain
is needed in the northeast portion. Fall ronnd
ups are beginning in southeastern Arisona. Short
age of water on the ranges in Nevada has made
it necesary to remove some of the cattle and
tbcugh dry feed i holding out well, the cattle
in some localities are losing weight . In Jixe
cca the eatUe are also showing the effect of
abort feed, but in California the dry and stubble
feed is holding out well and stock are generally
in good condition.
' . : Fruit '
Peaches are ripening in Utah and Washington,
a large crop of good quality ia being shipped
from Payetto valley, Idaho, and an excellent crop
is being gathered in California. - Apples are de
veloping - well in Nevada " and Idaho. Prunes
arc doing well in'aal sections; harvesting is well
advanced in California and has begun in early
eastern districts of Washington. The almond har
vest ia wall started in California, and walnuts
am sizing up nicely. In many vineyards in the
San Joaquin valley muscat grapes are ripening
prematurely and vines generally show lack of
water. - . '
; Mlaoeltaneoua Crops
Early maize is being harvested in
but in parts of the Phoenix section cotton ana
maize were damaged by high winds and hail
l ice is heading nicely in California The pick
ing of hops has been started in California and
will begin soon in Oregon. Sugar beets have
been damaged by inserts in Twin Falls county.
Idaho. ,
Overbeek A Cook Co. report from the Chicago
Triune as follows:
"Tha full weight of the numerous adverse
influences against which the grain and pro
vision trade has worked of late culminated in
one great depressing factor, the effect of which
there was no standing out against yesterday.
So long as they are the main factor few traders
want to be long any grains or provisions. A
majority of the trade look for lower prices.
A few shsrp observers look for a break and a
rail) today. ,
"Oats Despite Che weakness and decline in
corn, oats are only 11 13c off from the recent
high point. Farmers are not selling eats and the
movement is rather below the seasonal averager
Trading in January and March deliveries is ex
pected to start in grains today. Liquidation
and bear pressure was on from the start in pro
visions. Swift was credited with selling 2.500,
000 pounds October lard.

cratlons we are asked to assume. Look
ing at the treaty as a whole, is it to be
wondered that we are asking- to guaran
tee by our arms and our resources the
territorial status which It creates?
"I have not sought to propound or es
tablish any thesis beyond this: The
treaty as it stands cannot be enforced.
This is admitted by Its proponents. The
treaty as it stands is but a harbinger of
ether and greater wars. This being true,
the question must come why ' was this
treaty ao drawn and the vanquished
compelled to etgn it? It may be when
we get all the documents this will ap
pear. And yet. In spite of all these
great duties and obligations we aaaume
for the future. In spite of our great con
tribution In men and resources to the
successful fruition of the 1 great joint
enterprise which we entered, it seems to
be proposed that we are to waive all
participation In the benefits of this
treaty and that we are to add further1
to the general burdens of the people by
ourselves compensating our cltlsens who
have suffered losses In this war.
TASK IS WEIGHTY
" vThe weJitht of the task rentlnjf upon
us Is not light, but the people demand
that we fully perform It. In accordance
with our sworn duty. We can In this
matter take the Ipse dixit of ho mrfn.
"I have put before the people 'as
tersely as I could the salient features
of this treaty, so ' that knowing- them,
their counsel might assist us in our
work. For one of : the great defects
thus far Incident to the treaty Is that
too few minds have functioned on its
provisions, and perusing ir one finds It
impossible te believe that any respon
sible mind had aought to coordinate Its
provisions and trace out their ultimate
logical conclusions, f
-'"Nothing In all our history has called
for a clearer perception- of present and
future, a keener or Juster understanding;
of our free Institutions, a clearer vision
of the mighty mission ef our great na
tion in the world, or the dedication ef
a purer or loftier patriotism than the
consideration- of this treaty.
"Unless we shall have the guidance
of the Infinite wisdom we shall fall In
our duty and, wrecking- our beloved
country, earn the odium of Its treason
able betrayance." .
