Weekly Crop Bulletin
Gcod rains fel1 in all portions of the
state during the past week, and, while
the weather for the most part was cooler
than usual, there were spells of inter
mittent sunshine, which, taken to
gether with the advance of the season,
caused a gradual warming up of the
atmosphere, and a general improve

resulted. More sunshine and warmer
weather are needed, however, before
vegetation can resume a normal growth
The condition of the grain crop is
promising, with probably very few
exceptions. Fall wheat, rye and bar

Spring wheat and oats have made
rather slow growth, but the general
condition of these crops is above
average. The grain aphis has become
quite numerous in Washington, Mar

by this ‘pest cannot be estimated,

onions, beans and peas are making
better growth than during the preceed-

excellent and stock is in condition.
Late apples and pears promise light
yields, while other tree fruit is uneven
