Although deer and bird hunters,

weather forecast today dissipated
hopes of a general doWn'pour.

many years'.
In the Cranio Ronde valley there
have been net rains of consequence
since the middle of June, and for
lh .lust -three months, valley and
hills have been drained of almost
every drop of moisture. 1 ThlH sec

severe forest fires, .hut 'this- hazard
still exists until tho rain comes.
The fall has been ideal for har
vesting, with grain and luiy and
early fruit work uninterrupted.
Prune .picking will start next week
and the annual apple harve."t about
the first of the month.' and prune

for rain, as It would Interrupt the
