(Special) Short delaya In harvest operations wero ex perienced m itiIb locality the latter part of the week by light ahowere of rain which fell Thursday and Friday. The rain was greatly welcome follow ing the extreme hot weather or the past ten days. The moisture to date has not been sufficient to do much good outside of cooling the air tem porarily. Threshing In a small way has started during the past few daya at some of the farms in the hill sec tions. Jess Allen's threshing outfit from Middle valley moved to the R. J. Conner farm on Whiskey creek the latter part of the week where some threshing of fall wheat has been done. A machine has also been busy thresh ing for Hartcy Fleener of near Evans. L. V. Lathrop of the Leap section started his combine In the Parsnip creek dtstrlct the latter part of the week and Giles Plaes waa busy Thurs day threshing a small field of fall wheat at his ranch in the Leap sec tion. . Reports from some of those who have done some threshing state that the fields threshed have been rather light and that the yleldB have been less than 15 bushels per acre. This is about In line with estimates which have been made by a number of the farmers of the communtty recently. Some of the fields which contain bet ter stands are expected to run around 20 bushels per acre. However, but very few fields have anything like a normal stand and it is quite un likely that more than 75 per cent of a normal yield wilt be secured. The psat two weeks have been very severe on spring grain In the dry farming sections of this county and the larger part of this grain either has been or will be cut for hay. Spring crops on Irrigated land are exceptionally good in most tnstauces and are beginning to ripen at this time. A small amount of early spring grain In the valley has been bound at this time and the next two weeks will see much of It cut and In the shock. - Cutting of the second crops of alf alfa Is now In progress at a number of the farms at this time. Growing conditions for alfalfa appear to havo been about right during the past six weeks. Some of the fields which have been mowed recently present very heavy second cuttings. Some of the farmers who have plenty of time to attend to proper irrigation state that they expect to be able to get a fair third crop of alfalfa. Present appear ance Indicate that an abundance of all kinds of teed will be had at the most of the farms here this season. -:- ON THE AIR Station KOAC Extension Service at the Oregon Stat College ' Thursday Evening, Aug, 18 6:18, Farm market reports. 8:30 p. m., Fox Whiteside theatre organ, ' 7:00, Music of tlx Masters. .. 7:15, Philosopher of the Crossroads. 1:308:00, Farm Hour: 1 au In the day'a news; 7:45.

How often have you asked this question atier ponder ing over it and finding that your tdcas on something different were just about nil? It Is an experience that every housewife faces. Although this Is the season of the year when the body needs a smaller supply of fuel, when the appetite craves cool,' crisp foods and plenty of liquids and when the labor of pre paring meals should be reduced to minimum. It Is still necessary to sup ply the meal with one substantial main dish. It is well to reduce the amount of meats, fatty foods and those requiring much cooking and to use Instead foods easily digested and prepared as cream or cottage cheese dishes, simple egg dishes, a liberal amount of fruits, 'vegetables and milk. Some thrifty main dishes easy to prepare and particularly appetizing are: Liver Casserole 3 potatoes. 2 carrots. 3 cups green peas. 1 diced onion. 1 lb. liver. 6 tbspn. butter. 3 tbspn. flour.- 3 cups milk. .1 tspn. salt and H tepn. pepper. Cook potatoes until slightly tender with the csrrots, then cut Into cubes and cook with the peas. Ftour the sliced liver and brown In butter. Re move and cut Into cubes. Brown on ion in butter and remove. Make a gravy with the browned butter, ftour and milk. Arrange a layer of vege tables, then a layer of liver tn a cos serol. Repeat and add salt and pep per.

The late crop of lambs are on good feed and will have a much larger propor tion ot tat lambs than last fall, with a reduction In tSe supply of feeder lambs.

Fewer Lambs Are Raised Report v Fewer lambs are being raised tn -the 13 western states than for ths past two years, according to figures reviewed by the market news office of the Oregon State college exten- . . si on service. The 1832 lamb crop In these states Is about -13 per cent under 1831, and about t per cent below the 1830 crop. This year's crop - Is stfil larger than the 1838 . Iamb production by about 1,400.000 head. Tho poor range and feed situation that existed-last fall and winter Is blamed tor the reduction this year as it resulted in heavy losses of ewes. and lambs during the winter and early spring. This summer,, however,, ranges are holding up better than for, several years tn the. west, and as a result lambs have not been forced out of producers hands by feed shortage. . The average value ot U. 8, No, 1 alfalfa at eight- leading dcmestls markets during July was 11.50 per ton, compared with 16.26 in the corresponding month last year, and 2d tdr 'the preceding five years, 1929 to 1930 " inclusive. A strong holding tendency on -the - part- bf many growers has been noted this season aa they are reported unwill ing to sell at current bids,' hence fair amounts are being stacked. Re ceipts at tne Kansas City market tor July totaled only 30S cars compared wttb. a seven-year July average of 643 cars. .
