Many Sheep Are
Coming Into
Wallowa County
WALLOWA (Special) The number
ol bands ol sheep which have been
brought to this county during the
post few weeks greatly out-number
the bands which are usually brought
here for summer range. It Is not
known how many sheep are being
ranged in the timbered areas of the
county, but apparently the most ot
the range areas are; quite well stock
ed. The grass, In the late parte of
the county which are used until well
Into the fall, Is sold to be quite good
at this time and with tho3e sections
receiving heavy rains It Is thought
the forage conditions In most sec
tions will hold out good for summer
and fall range.

SOME GRAIN IS
BURNING OUT
WALLOWA (Special) The con
tinued dry weather appears to have
caused the squirrels to be moru de
structive to grain crops, than Is usu
ally the case at this season of the
year. Some farmers In hill areas re
port' the loss of from 25 to as much
os 100 acres of grain. The most' of
this. It Is believed, will mean a com-
plete loss, Inasmuch as the soil has
becuiiie'very dry and chances for rain
to soak the soli sufficiently to cause
the grain to make much of a growth
again are held very slight. Only
small damage has been done to
spring-sown crops and with the sea
son near at hand when squirrels usu
ally begin holing, It Is believed spring
groin will not receive the damage
which has occurred to lall-sown crops.
Heavy showers of rain fell the last of
the week, but reports from hill areas
Indicate that It was not heavy enough
to be of any great benefit to crops,
Some burning of the grain on thin
land has occurred the past week and
unless considerable rain comes In the
nert week or two much ot the wheat
will be suite short, as will also bo tho
case with spring-sown crops as much
of the moisture has been sapped from
the soil by the wind and warm
weather. . ,
HAYING THE BILL
ON WALLOWA FARMS
WALLOWA (Special) Haying has
started at a number of farms and
. others state they will start cutting
thelc- llrsctops jjiboutwJuly--4;- In
some places the alfalfa appears to be
quite good. Some farmers have al
ready engaged their hay hands and
wages for tills class of work Is said
" to be $2 per day. A large part of
the help will be paid In hay again
tills season according to reports. With
a considerable number of the local
men at the Imnaha camp It Is likely
h mwt. if t.hA idle, men here will
be able to find work during the rush
of the haying and harvest, season,
nrain farmers, most of whom ore fac
ing the possibility of short crops and
prospects for low prices, are hkiuiub
on doing their harvesting as cheaply
as possible with exenange oi woiit
and cutting with combines which will
require little extra help.
