Cheering reports are heard from all parts of Oregon and eastern Washington territory, in regard to the harvest prospects, the season having been a most favorable one for grain. The hay harvest is delayed in some sections by frequent showers. The outlook for orchards is not unfavorable. Partly on account of the ravages of the scale insect last year, and partly from late frosts, the apple crop will be a very poor one in most localities, and in several an entire failure. Cherries were a poor crop; strawberries, ditto; blackberries about half a crop. Wild blackberries appeared to be plentiful. The plum crop appears to be a good one and on it housewives will have to place their main dependence for preserves, etc. Blackberries will be scarce, because we propose to spend next Tuesday ourself, in the biggest patch on the coast, near Brookfield.
