At present the stock In the fair! lniPctor Judge Blowers finds that

to the Oregon Inler-Blate Fair.
The money obtained from the stock
soon to be Issued will apply on the
Indebtedness lncured when the fair
was first organised, several years
ago. It Is unfair for a few public splr-
Ited citizens to carry a burden of this !
kind and everyone that can possibly
afford It ahould take at least one
sbsre of this stock at $10. thus In -
surlng the future of the Inter state
Fair and continue to make it the best
fair In Oregon.
Tlnns are well under way for this
year's fair and the dates are set for

"While the spring wheat will not
make as heavy a yield this year as
last, the fall grain will be much hear-

yield of 6 bushels and less per acre
were numerous, but this year the
lighter fields will be making ten and
better." Mr. Brown says he has view
ed some wonderful grain the last few

Some of this grain was just In
j the boot about two weeks ago but
with such favorable weather condi
tions it is now tilling nicely. A field
of bluestem wheat on the J. R. Jack
son ranch will make between 25 and
30 bushels. Mr. Jackson aslo has an
excellent field of barley. Turkey red
in the north end ot the county is look
ing mightygood and there will be lots
of grain out that way. Reports com
ing in from the lone country would
contradict any reports heretofore giv
en out that crops were going to tall
down that way. H. A. Cummins ot
the Bank of lone says that wheat has
made a wonderful development dur
ing the past two weeks and the cool
weather with favorable growing con
ditions has meatft thousands of dol
lars to the farmers there. The light
showers which visited some sections
over the country last week have gone
a long way towards insuring the crop,
Gazette-Times.
Haying has commenced on the riv
er and in the lower creek valleys of
Wheeler county. Wages started oft
at three dollars, and while there is
no oversupply of men, the crops are
being taken care of with little incon
venience on account of shortage of
men. Alfalfa and other Irrigated
crops are unusually good this year,
but the dry land hay crops are light.
The weather continues cool to cold
with some frost. Light showers last
week relieved the threatening drouth
conditions, but the country needs a
good old soaking raln.- Fosil Jour
nal. A fine rain fell here last Friday
and while notias much as was hoped
for, it did much good as the fall grain
is Just filling in most fields. The fall
sown grain will not make the crop
expected as the freezes a few weeks

will only make hay. Hot weather
prevails here at present. Maupln
