Inc. La Grande, Oregon grosses used for hay purposes. Irri gated pastures are now coming into their best and those having herds of dairy cows say they are doing ex ceptionally good under present leert conditions. Farmers In the hill sec tions who have much summerfallow thlii year have found this spring and summer a very good one for getting the soil plowed In extra good shape and the moisture which has been well up during the greater part of the ; time has given them a good oppor. tunlty of getting much of the weeds I to germinate and then be killed by constant cultivation. A little lnte plowing Is still being done at a few of the large farms, however, the greater part of the Urge tracts were ! finished as long as two weeks ago and ! the moat of It has been worked tvro and three times and getting Into I good shape. Haying has been in pro gress at several of the valley la rim during the past week and more are expecting to commence cutting their first crops of alfalfa during the com ing week. Much of the north woods sections are full or sheep at this time. A number of large bands have arrived here recently from distant points in the state for ranging on logged off range lands there. Mr. Daugherty. or Pilot Hock, arrived here recently with two large bands of sheep which were trailed through having been about three weeks on the road. Some of the sheepmen feel that with high freight rates and extremely low prices for 1 lambs and wool that they cannot af ford to have the sheep shipped to the summer ranges here as some have done during the past number of , years. A few of the farmers of the Leap i community finished shearing their small flocks of sheep recently. Ac- coitlltig to reports from many of the small owners the bulk of the wool produced in this community has been marketed at prices ranging from 17c to 30c per pound. Practically no sales of lambs has been made here and a number of the sheepmen are wondering what kind of prices they are going to be able to get for their lambs. Good green feed In all pas tures and ranges are making ideal conditions for growing some of the best lambs which have been seen in this section for a number of years. Shipments of cattle and hogs hav gone from this county during the past two weeks through the Wallowa County Shipping association to the Portland market. Arrangements are being made to send out at least one carload of fat ewes some time during the early part of July. E. P. Johnson was busy d tiring the early part of the week getting many 'small lots of wool together for ship- ment. W. P. Poole and wife returned home recently from a trip to Baker. They report very heavy rains In that sec tion and that hundreds of acres of hay were down. ' J. P. Haun. of Evans, made a busl- ness trip to Pendleton during the past week. He reports crops looking quite good In that section. Sam Meek and Giles Plass were busy the early port of the week do ing some Work in smoothing the re cently worked road leading into the Lea p com mil nit y . rica v ra i ns f ol -lowed the fresh grading and filling in of the ruts caused portions of the rood to become much rutted up by travel while the ground was muddy. Each weekend sees the streams of this community lined with fisher men. While the rains have caused the river to become quite muddy re- . cently. many have been on the Job fishing arid report fairly good catches ' of nice sized trout, j L. W. Minor and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hearing, of Evans, left Saturday by automobile for a ten day trip to Alberta. Canada. They expect to be about three days making the trip each way. ' Roy Gostin was a Lostlne business ; visitor the latter part of the week. ; Irvln Gostin accompanied him there ! and went on to the Mountains where i they have their sheep on summer range. i Reports from the Zumwalt section 'state that a rather severe tiall storm , struck in that section Friday after ! noon doing considerable damage to j growing crops. A number of large trucks have been j In use recently hauling logs from the k i wnisxey creer section to the railroad here for shipment to Milton. The ds in that district have become well settled, making conditions good for heavy hauling. Mrs. Elvin Reel, accompanied by her mother.
