Cliff. Ijke County, Or., Aug. 20.
Keillor Medford Mail:
After an absence from borne tor
the past three weeks, your corre
spondent will endeavor to make
good and record a few Items from
this part of man's earthly heritage,
fls., southern part of Eastern Ore
gon. Having a yearning to worn: in
the hay field myself and betterhalf
and the boys (us four and no morel,
hied ourselves to Summer Lake, 0
miles away.
Arriving at the Harvey ranch,
which Is under lease by G. J. Wood
ard, we were distributed for work
as follows: Wife was installed as as
sistant cook and dishwasher, one boy
was put to manipulating a hay
brick, the other as one of two net
setters, and the old man set to do
ing stunts as "pull-up boy." We
were told this latter Job was a snap,
but after nine days of continuous
service the old man concluded tbere
was no snap about It. He rather
thought that setting out apple and
I pear trees ior jonn uiweu ana otn-
crs in the Rogue River valley was
a better snap than this was. Every
body is familiar of course with the
song, "Everybody Works But Fath
er," but In this case "father worked
too." Well, see, I am digressing
somewhat as to the general line of
news.
Harvesting Is about over within
our Immediate vicinity. All grain
crops with us are cut (or hay. Rye
la the principal one, but numerous
pieces ot wheat, oats and barley
were cut. and while the yield was
light, the quality was good.
New arrivals are dally coming In
to Northern Lake county, and many
are filing on homesteads. A large
amount of sage brush land la being
cleared off and this fall will see a
large acreage ot grain sown. While
the crops this spring were cut short
by the late frosts, farmers will not
hesitate because of .these failures,
but win enlarge their field ot operations.
The past ten days have been very
hot and sultry. Indications tor rain
are showing up for two or three days
past, and we are In hopes we will
be blessed with a good shower. Our
last rain fell about ten days ago.
