Taylor (Chief of Bureau of Plant Industry, U, 8. Department of Agriculture ) There are tricks In moving plants which experienced gardeners are moro likely to know that the beginner. Transplanting disturbs and often breaks the roots of the plants and so Interrupts their food and water supply. Plants wilt, not usually as a direct effect of heat, but rather because the leaves , glvo off moro moisture than the roots take In, Shade and moisture are essential. Precautions are more necessary In the Bummer than In the spring. It Is poor policy to transplant on a dear hot day, but better late in the afternoon than -in the morning. It the transplants have lost most of their soil, It often helps to "pud dle" the roots, that ,1s, dip the root Into a pall of clay mud about the consistency of a thick soup. This provides moisture which the roots can absorb Immediately, protects the root hairs from drying out. and Insures that there will be soil In contact with the rootlets when they are re located. Always firm the soil well after placing transplants. Provide Bhade on bright days After tranaplontlng. For small plants shingle or two pushed Into the ground at an angle south of the plants is th() commonc8t and most convenient lnvorted bssket or box wni servo for larger plants.

Wool Market Rise Featured In Last j College Survey! More favorable conditions ahead for' the sheep Industry are Indicated lnl an outlook report Just released by' tne Oregon state agricultural exten-f slon service. On the other hand, the ' supply ot dairy and poultry prod-1 ucts is expected to be well main- talned with hlohAr nrlfA lnUMt mrit.. !i !y dependent upon Increased pur-1 chasing power of consumers, The present extremely low prices for sheep products Is due to theV "combined effect of Increased sup-;' piles ot lambs and wool and sharplyr curtailed consumer demand and pur- chasing power," the report states. Due!' to unfavorable conditions for sheep' ln the western states last wlnter.V however, death losses were heavy andf sheep numbers have been reduced, The shorn wool crop was seven per cent less than a year ago and the' ' lamb crop eight per cent less. Tho proportion of yearling ewes ln thev flocks Is also below normal. ... Evidence of continued keen com do- tltlon In the dairy Industry rs seen ( in the Increasing number of milk ; cows ln the country. The effect of.' the probable Increase ln supply on, prices is expected to be offset some-J what by stronger demand, as Indus-, trial payrolls Increase. A small increase In the number of hens Is in prospect but the supply, of eggs may not be larger than dur-,, Ing the past year, unless weather i conditions should again be unusually mvurnuie, ucuurumg to tne report. . The complete report which contains several oharta showing the relation-' ship between prices for farm prod ucts and the general commodity price, t level and Industrial payrolls, Is avail- . able from the office of the county, agricultural agent. M Consumer Incomes are probably at: about the lowest levels reached so far In thlB depression, says the col- lege extension service report. The-, rate ot decline In Industrial activity . has been alowor during recent weeks, howover, than previously. The gen eral level of wholesale prices held ' about steady during July, while prices) for some form products dvanoed..

Crops, Weather In Wallowa WALLOWA, Ore, (Special) A large" amount of damage to gardens, and If' is also feared to some of the late' grain crops occurred ln the lower see-1 tions of the community early In the week when a severe freeze ' occurred. ' On Wednesday morning It Is report ed that the temperature stood at 28 degrees early ln the morning. While considerable damage was done to the greater part of the gardens In the valloy section, reports from some of the ranches ln the hills state that' but very little damage to gardens was' done there. Cutting of the third crop of alfalfa was ln progress at several of the' farrns ln the valley and a good part of the hay was fairly well cured. However, at some of tho farms where the crop had not been out yet It was quite badly frozen and will re-' suit In much of the crop being of rather poor quality. V; A largo amount of binding of bar ley and oats has been done In this end of the valley during the past week or 10 days and muoh of the grain was too woll matured to be damaged any by freozlng, but at some of the farms a part of tho crops were still quite green and It Is here that noine oxprcss tho opinion that some ot this may havo boon damaged con siderably from freezing. Practically all threshing has been flnlshod ln the dry farming areas of the county and reporte from a large number ot tho forms Indicate that yields have been poor as a rule. Wil liam McKenzle, of Lower Valley, rer ports a yield of 26 bushels per acre from a field of winter wheat at his farm. Many others report yields ranging from four to 15 bushels per acre. Tho hot, dry weather of earty July Is bclloved to have been the chler factor ln poor filling or this wheat. With the thin stands ln many of tho fields, many of the farmers bolievcd that with plenty of moisture stored in tho Boll last spring that filling' would be exceptionally good. Tho test of somo of the wheat la also reported to be quite low. This Is also accounted for to a large ex tent by tho unfavorable weather con. dltlons at tho tlmo tho grain was filling. A number ot stationary threshing outfits havo been - busy cleaning up tho grain crops in the valloy as rapidly as tho woother wilt allow threshing. Giles Plass has been busy a part of tho past week threshi Ing at tho Dr. Gregory and H. OL Mosterson farm a few miles east qr town, while the Allen boys of Mld dlo valloy have boen threshing a number cf the crops there. Roy Gas tin expects to start threshing at the M. A. Peterson farm on Whiskey creek sometime this week.
