Weather and Crops.
The weather in Benton County
during the .past week has been
uniformly hot . and dry. . Cool
winds from the coast have pre
vailed during ithe nights. The
fall grain has been , damaged be
yond recovery, while -the- spring
crop will be short but may recov
er if rains occur within the . next
few days, which is "improbable.
All grain is heading unusually
short. ' Pasture Hand is practi
cally valueless. '' ' ' ;
Good progress has been made
in harvesting the hay crop, much
of which is now safely secured.
The yields are generally report
ed light, especially timothy.
which in a. number of localities
turned out to be almost a failure.
Vetch; yielded well and clover
was but slightly below the aver
age, rlops and potatoes, need
more ram; potatoes have suffered
the most.; Hops, although still
green, have not their usual vigor
at this season of the 'year, and
the growers do not expect a full
crop. Apples continue to give
promise of good yields; and it . is
expected that a rainy good crop
of peaches will be picked. ' ""

in the location of Spencer's bar
ber shop and Bauer's tailor shop.
Plans are now being onade for tLe
building but they have not yet
been submitted to the public It
is safe to say, however, that the
building will be thoroughly up
to-date and modern, and. an
attraction' to Main street. Work
will probably be commenced
within a month. r
