C. Meek (Observer Correspondent) WAU.OWA, Ore. (Special) Very hot weather linn prevailed over this section of the country during the past Bcveral days, and has caused the grain and hay crops j of th, weck to make tt fine trrowth. Rome hay Iiir In being started on some of the valley farms at this time, with the first cutting of alfalfa being made. Other classes of hay such as timo thy und clover will not be ready to cut for some little time yet. Home of the farmers having hay of this kind say they expect to start cut ting the first week after July 4. Most of the hay fields give appear ance of fairly good first cuttings despite tho fact that but llttio warm weather up until toward the middle of June was experienced here. The soil In the hills hcoiiih to be well supplied with inolsUiri! yet from the heavy rains of two weeks ago and all grain crops are looking fine at this time. With a large acreage of spring grain sown In the dry farming areas this sea son, formers feel they hit the thing dead center for once. The spring sown grain has made an excellent growth und much of tho early ttowlngs is better than two feet in height ut this time and haw a dark green color. "Winter wheat crops urn uIho looking good, but many or the fields do not appear to have very good stands, and this In tho opinion of some will be tho cause of light yields on much of the winter wheat acreage, even though the grain docs fill out well. Tho lust of tho summer fallow plowing 1m being finished up In this com munity ut this time, some who had large tracts to plow have been finite Into in getting through, but with tho unusually largo amount of rain during tho month of Juno huvo been able to get the plowing done In good shape. Farmers who wore able to get their plowing done In April and May have found thlA tho best season for a numbor of years to get the yeed seed to germi nuto und come. Many have been kept busy much of the tlmo since the rains cultivating tho fields in order to get tho weeds before they became too large to kill good with weuders. Tho ranges are reported to be Htaylng greon well, with much of the la to summer range In the timbered sections being at its best ut this tlmo. Many large hands of sheep have been moved through this end of the valley recently on their way to Hummer range In tho mountains ami iiuiuereu sections northeast of here, whero a number of large tracts of rango lauds are owned by large sheep owners.

Hurkesvillo claims that (he first oil well in America was brought in here 100 years ago last March. Not much was done with this natural land river for several miles with a black film. A letter dated Murch 15, 1S2 3 tells of the river having been "set on fire" with the. result that It "burnt for at least u mile," The spectacle of the burning river, ac cording to local legend, aroused superstitious fears in many resi- resourcH because little was known j dents, some of whom ure said to of its vulue.

Shinn 4.20 is preserved, said tho oil "burna well in a lamp and is said to paint well and oil leather and I have no doubt it will be a good medicine for many complaints, particularly ".lie rheumatic pains. The wholu atmosphere is perfumed with it. It is a 'comple.it phenominon.'" While the coming in of the well caused some trouble, it probably proved a source of revenue, to some men who bottled a quantity of the oil, und sold It ut $2 a pint us a cure-all. Some of it was shipper to Knglar-1 und hundreds of bot tles were disposed of -in this coun try. Some of the bottles. Into which had been blown the label, "Ameri cun Medicinal Oil, liurkesvllle, Ky.k 3 928." have been handed down to present citizens of Hurkesville. Returns from the medicine prob ably made up to some extent for the disappointment of the two drillers over failing to find the concentrated valine solution from which they hoped to produce table salt, a valuable commodity in those regions because of the high cost of transportation. Oil continued to be produced from time to time in wells drilled for salt water, and when the com mercial value of petroleum was recognized many wells were drilled in Cumberland county. But in the meantime railroads had been built at other places, but not within 3S miles of the site of the original -.veil. More accessible fields were found, und Cumberland county never profited as did other oil communities. Recent building of roads, however, has added, to tho value of the field, and there now ure a number of producing wells.
