V. S. Crop Bulletin.
U. S. Department of agriculture,
Climate and Crop Bulletin of the
Weather Bureau, Oregon Section, for
ibe week ending Monday, September
11:
Tne temperatures during the week
were higher than usual and no raio
fell, except a email amount neat the
immediate coaat.
The warm and dry weather oanaed
late crops to mature rapidly, and hop
picking is now general and prune
picking has begun in many orchards.
No lice or mold is repotted in the
hops and the crop is turning out bet
ter than expected a few weeks ago.
With another week or 10 days of fa
vorable weather the bulk of the hop
crop will be safely housed. Prunes
indicate yields better than last year
but considerably less than a full crop.
Thrashing la now practically com
pleted and the grain crop it is thought
will about equal that of last year.
Pasturage is very short and stock is
losing flush, especially in the dairy
districts where the supply of milk is
oven less than usual at this time of
the year. Corn is doing well and the
nrop of matured corn will be larger
thau usual, if the weather continues
good for a week or two longer. Pota
toes badly need rain and this crop is
uneven, its condition being dependent
upon the soil and the time of plant
ing. Potatoes planted Into on high
land are the poorest Pears are
plentiful. Apples are small In size
md a bout half of a full crop of late
varietif s is indicated.
Do yoo know that you can make a
