RANGE
AND LIVESTOCK
Following is the Oregon range ana
livestock report as eomnilert for .iniv
first by the United States department
ui agriculture cooperating with the
extension service of the Oregon State
college:
Oregon range condition on July
first shows a slight decline from last
month according to the regular re
port of the federal state crop report
ing service. Moisture supply Is a lit
tle short in some areas and prospects
for summer and fall ranges are only
fair. Condition of livestock is about
equal to that of a month , ago. The
first cutting of hay was generally a
little short for the state as a whole.
Ranges
Oregon: Ranges are generally in
good shape over the state at the pres
ent time but will decline unless sum
mer rains relieve the situation. Irri
gation water and reserve moisture
supply Is less than usual. Moisture
conditions arc better In Northeastern
Oregon and In sections west of the
years ago, it was not changed at that " Cascade mts. than elsewhere in the
been good and losses of both cattle
and calves have been light. With
prices much below a year ago, coun
try trading has been almost at a
standstill.
.Sheep
The condition of Oregon sheep is
slightly below average for the state
but almost equal to that of las
month. The lamb crop is about aver
age and lambs are making good
growth. Losses of lambs have gen
erally been llchtpr thi vonr t.hmi Inst
I but losses of ewes during the winter
were anove normal. More dry ewes
d occurred than last year due to the
poor breeding conditions last fall.
Contracting of lambs for future de
livery has been very limited. A gen
eral tendency to reduce numbers of
sheep on hand Is reported. In Wash
ington the lamb crop is good but a
light wool clip Is reported. Idaho
sheep, losses are lighter than usual. A
heavy movement of lambs from lower
Snake t river sections occurred during
June. Practically no lambs have beeu
contracted for fall delivery. In Texas
losses of sheep and lambs have been
heavy.
Over the western range area as a
whole the condition of sheep showed
very little change from a month ago.
although some Improvement was
noted In North Dakota and Texas. In
the states west of the Continental Di
vide sheep are in much better con
dition than a year ago. In states east
ot the divide they cannot maintain
their present condition unless the
drought conditions prevalent then
are relieved soon. Prospects are for
. good lamb crop In all states except
Texas with losses rather light. No
contracts for fall lambs have been
reported as offers are apparently un
satisfactory to the grower. Wool sales
have continued rather slow with much
of the wool being consigned.
Its reported to range from $3 to $3.50 1
per acre depending on the lay of the
.ground and the condition of the j
grain. Some fields are very heavy !
with a considerable amount of badly
down and lodged grain which will f
make cutting quite slow In places.
None of the fields show much signs j
of being burned by the hot winds and i
drying weather which was in pro- j
gross Just after the 4lh of July and
barring anything else which might 1
tend to lessen the yield there should
be much wheat in this section which i
would run from 25 to 35 bushels per
acre. Sack prices are reported to be '
slightly lower than those of last year. !

Warm Weather
Speeds Up The
Wallowa Harvest
Warm summer weather has caused
the grain crops of the section around
Wallowa to advance quite rapidly
during tho post ten days, according
to u, u. Meek, Observer correspondent
from that locality. A number of
farmers In the. dry farming areas
have been busy during the post week
getting, their grain hay cut and a
few have commenced . binding tho
early fields of- winter wheat.
somewhat cooler weather during
thc past few days has slowed up rip
ening to some extent and this Is con
sidered an excellent condition, as in
this way the grain fills out much
fuller than where ripening Is hurried
by extremely hot weather.
Investigation into some of thc
early sowed winter wheat fields re
veals the fact that a considerable
amount of damage was done to the
grain ln spots by severe freezing I
which occurred ln late May and
early June. While It ls quite dlffl- 1
cult to estimate wnat enect xnis
damage will have on the yield, some
.of, , the farmers express the opinion
that it will mean several nusncis less
per acre in places where the frost
was the heaviest. Spring sown grain
on the irrigated farms ln the valley
section are making a wonderful
growth at this time. Some exception
ally heavy items 01 oats nnu oaricy
are seen on many of thc farms, some
of the barley is badly lodged from
recent rain and wind storms.
According to a number of the farm
ers ln the hill sectluns thc greater
part of t;;e winter wheat there will
be harvested with combines again
this season. One or two new ma
chines have been purchased and
these, together with several other
practically new outfits which were
purchased a year or two ago, win oe
able to cut a large acreage of the
Eight more cars of sheep were ship
ped from La Grande Tuesday of this
week, this shipment making a total
of 17 cars which have becn shipped
to date through the Union county
lamb pool. In these 17 cars which
were 5393 head of fine (traded lambs.
These lambs have all been shipped
direct to Omaha though a few have
been diverted from there, to Sioux
City, Iowa.
While all the returns from tho last
shipment have not yet been received
here, it ls reported that one carload
netted thc shippers eight cents. Thc
market has been going down for some
time now and it ls predicted that
tho fall will continue. County agri
cultural agent, Harry G. Avery, points
to the fact that the first shipments
made went at $9.43 net home weight;
the second shipment went $8.54 net
home weight and the third, $8.40.
The . Union county pool has beon
handling most of the sheep ship
ments out of this valley this year.
They have handled a big bunch of
sheep for those who were not under
contract. It ls reported that 810 head
were shipped direct by Walter M.
Pierce and son but theso were all
graded by the county agent, the same
as other lambs going to market.
Tom Johnson of the Cove is chaii
man of the pool board and he and
Robert French are doing much of tht
grading, each individual lamb being
handled to see if it is fat enoURh for
the market. Thc committee consists
