WEATHER BUREAU.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
w
Weather Crop ltulletln No 17 of the
Oregon State Weather (Service for .
Eastern Oregon.
Weather On Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, the temperature ranged about
the normal, while on the remaining
days-, the temperature was cooler. A
fresh southerly wind prevailed, and the
weather remained clear. The weather
compared favorably with that of the
previous week, when dry, warm winds
were discouraging. There was an ab
sence of precipitation.
Crops Weather conditions have been
favorable to all crops in Wasco and Sher
man counties, while in other sections the
weather remaining dry (though not so
dry as the previous week), could not be
said to be favorable, though it was an
improvement.
Reports from Wasco and Sherman
counties continue favorable regarding all j
crops ; wheat, oats, barley and potatoes
are doing especially well. Owing to the
low prices for last year's crop, the acre
age of the present grain crop was mater
ially reduced. The quality of grain in
Wasco and Sherman counties will be A.
L, and the yield per acre wiil approach
near to the average.
Harvest has commenced in earnest
throughout the Columbia valley. Hay
ing has commenced in "Umatilla and
Morrow counties and in the Walla Walla
valley. South and east of the Blue
mountains and including the counties of
Umatilla and Morrow, the yield of all
kinds of grain will fall far short of the
average, and the quality will be inferior.
This section has .suffered greatly from
the drouth. In some sections of the
above-described territory the spring sown
grain will scarcely pay the cost, of har
vesting it, and a field of grain which
promises anything near an average yield
is rare. There are some good fields of
barley in Union county. There is a good
prospect for fruit in all sections, and the
potato crop has withstood the dry
weather surprieingly .well. Fruit is
making a rapid growth, and the early
varieties of apples are ripe. Blackber
ries are ripe and plentiful in the market.
Hood River peaches are also ripe. In
Klamath and Harney counties the fruit
will be of good quality, though not
plentiful, owing to the work of the early
frosts. Haying continues, and alfalfa is
still being cut.- The drouth has mater
ially lessened the yield of hay, and but
for 'the fact that the season o'f 1894 pro
duced more than was required for con
sumption, consequently leaving much of
last year's crop on hand, farmers wonld
be at a Iobs for feed for their stock,
which, unfortunately, is the case in
manv sections.
