The crop prospects are better to-day
than they were a week ago, when it was
reported that they were the best ever
seen in Oregon. General rains have
fallen over the state during the past
week. While some hay was slightly in­
jured by being cut and rained upon, and
cherries in localities were slightly injured
by the rain, yet the rains were of benefit
to late hay, fruit, berries, hops and
grain. The crop conditions and pros­
pects to-day are perfect. Unless unpre­
cedented weather conditions prevail,
which are not probable, Oregon’s crops
this year will be greater in quantity and
fiuer in quality than any heretofore
gathered.

Weather.—The week has been cool
and showery. The temperature aver­
aged 62 degrees, which is 7 degrees lower
than for the preceding week and 4 de­
grees higher than for the same week last
year. The highest temperature was 73
degrees, on Friday; the lowest 52 de­
grees, Monday. The total rainfall for
the week ranged from three-quarters of
an inch to one inch. The winds were
generally southerly. The sunshine was
deficient in amount.
Crops.—Haying has been commenced,
especially in the southern counties. The
grass is ready to cut throughout this
portion of the-state, but is delayed, ow­
ing to the rains. A small amount of hay
has been injured somewhat by being
rained upon. As soon as the weather
becomes fair, haying will be general.
The rains have caused some cherries,
especially on the lower branches, to rot;
the injury is not sufficient to cause a
financial loss, as there are more cherries
than can be marketed or for which there
are facilities for canning. The rains
likewise caused some strawberries to rot.
While the rains have produced the fore­
going, the good they did more than com­
pensates. The spring-sown wheat and
oats now promise yields as good, or better
than the fall-sown. That the ¡grain crop
will be unusually large, there can be no
question. Corn is in need of warmer
weather. The berry crop is unusually
large. Except peaches in portions of
the Willamette Valley, fruit is a large
crop in every section.
There is no improvement in hops;
those that are up have excellent growth.
The missing hills will reduce the total
yield from one-third to one-half.
Flax for fiber is thirty-six inches high ;
it will be ready to be pulled the latter
part of this month. Reports indicate
that flux culture is more successful in
Oregon than the most sanguine hoped
for.
Wheat sown on land which last
year was used for growing flax, is better
than in adjoining fields.
Sugar beets are making a .fine growth
and now promise better returns than
they did last year, when the experiment
was so successful.
Pasturage is good
and stock is in prime condition.
