EETUKXS FEOM PACIFIC STATES AND TERRITORIES. 



California. — Returns from this State, so far as received, place the quantity 

 of wheat harvested, compared with 1865, at. ll.J tenths ; barley, 12 tenths; oats, 

 llh tenths; corn, (condition of, on August 1st,) 10 tenths; potatoes, llj tenths; 

 sorghum, (little cultivated,) 10 tenths ; pasture, 12J tenths ; flax, (little grown,) 



10 tenths; timothy, (quantity of, compared with 1865,) 11 tenths; clover, 10 

 tenths; hay, 12 tenths; wool, 11 tenths; lambs, (number of, compared with 

 1865,) 11 tenths. 



Oregon. — Wheat, (quantity compared with 1865,) 12 tenths ; rye, 10 tenths; 

 barley, 12 tenths ; oats, 12 tenths ; corn, 9 tenths ; potatoes, 12 tenths ; pasture, 

 (average condition of,) 12 tenths; hay, (quantity compared with 1865,) 16 

 tenths; wool, 11^ tenths. But little flax and sorghum are raised in this 

 State ; where grown, their condition is reported good. The wet spring caused 

 an unusual growth of grass and a rich pasturage. The rains delayed the har- 

 vest, but gave heavy grain crops. 



Nevada. — Wheat, (quantity of, compared with 1865,) 25 tenths ; potatoes, 

 above an average crop throughout the State; pasturage, 12 tenths; hay, 9 

 tenths; fruit, reported very scanty, though in tolerable condition. 



Washington Territory. — Returns thus far received show — wheat, 12 tenths; 

 oats, 11 tenths; pasturage, 13 tenths; corn, 11 tenths; potatoes, 12 tenths. 

 But little fruit is raised ; strawberries and raspberries show well where mention 

 is made of them. Flax and sorghum are not found in our returns. 



Dakota Territory — From our imperfect returns the root crop will average 

 14 tenths ; wheat, 20 tenths ; oats, 12 tenths ; hay, quantity and condition su- 

 perior. Grasshoppers are reported to have made their appearance in Clay 

 county, and it was feared that they would injure the crops in other parts of the 

 Territory. 



New Mexico. — The returns, though inadequate, show nearly double the 

 quantity of wheat, compared with last year ; corn, 11 tenths ; pastui-e in excel- 

 lent condition ; tobacco and wool up to the average. 



Colorado. — Wheat, 11 tenths; oats, 11 tenths; corn, 12 tenths; potatoes, 



11 tenths ; acreage of root croj", as compared with 1865, 19 tenths ; the indica- 

 tions are for an unusual yield ; hay, 10 tenths. The season has been unusually 

 favorable for crops of all kinds.
