THISJEASON
From Present Indications,
Fruit Yields Appear
as Encouraging.
SPRAYING WORK
NOW UNDER WAY
Rain This Week Aids
Growing Crops Con
ditions of Livestock is
Reported Good.
Agriculturally, tho outlook Jn
Union county this year Ik very
promising, in spite of market con
ditions that effect soino crops. .
Harvesting of the cherry - crop
will begin in a short time, and at
present orchnrdiats are concentrat
ing on spraying operations, which
wore scheduled to begin yesterday
in the Clrande Ronde valley. Re
ports are that a large crop, is on
the trees throughout the county.
First Outlook Good ' -
The apple outlook is also good,
although thero are some orchards
whore tho fruit is not so heavy as
in others. With the government
crop report the first of this month
showing only a little more than
half a normal national crop' in
sight, growers expect prices to be
good.
Haiu Aids Wheat
Tho rain this week aided the
wheat outlook to a considerable
extent, particularly the spring grain
in fields where recent warm weath
er accompanied by winds, dried
out the ground rapidly. Kail sown
grain la reported to be- In good
condition.
(Tutting of tho first crop of al
falfa is under way over the valley,
and the rain of this week did bring
pleasure to farmers who had hay
in the fields.
livestock over tho. county Is in i
good condition, it is said, and in
general, the 'year 1930 is expected
to produce good crops in this sec
tion. - .
MAX WILLING
TO MEET JACK
IN SEPTEMBER
Nl'VU YORK, Juno 21 (AP)
Apparently rtol satisfied with his
questionable world's heavyweight
boxing title, Max Schmellng has
agreed to meet .lack Kharkcy in a
return bout at Yankee Stadium in
Keplem'bcr under certain provi
sions. Before he steps into the ring
again against lint man who gave
him the championship on a foul in
tho fourth round, Schmellng says
ho must have, an outright release
from Arthur liuelow, German man
ager whom lie disposed fiver a.
year ago but whose contract does
not expiro until Octboer.
Tho derma n heavyweight also
says "he will hiivc no part of CJra
ham McN'aXmee as a radio an
nouncer" on grounds the National
Uroadcusting company's announcer
was partial to Sharkey and made
errors in their June 12 bout at the
Stadium.
Am tho (iarden has already
agreed to take care of the liuelow
ncltlcmnnt as well as finding n
suitable broadcaster, there appears
no reason why the heavyweight
title will not be at stake once more.

There has been no big run-off

from now on the flow muy continue
at a fairly even rate, in the opinion

Tho soft snow must be about gone

remains will melt slowly even in
hot weather.
South Kork, or Lostiue river and
Hear creek have been carrying a
steady flow of water for some
weeks and never approached flood
