F. H. King, of Logan, Who was in. town Tuesday, Baid that J. M, Tracy's machine threshed 10 acres oats for H Babler that yielded 628 bushels, and an other field of 10jg acres for Fred Snider that yielded 580 bushels. The oata were good but a little colored, Fred Yohan, who was in fro.n Macks-' burg Wednesday, said that Leonard Heiuz's wheat crop was still in the field in the shock, although he owned an interest in a thresher. He had as' yet been unable to get the machine to pull in on his crop. The hops look well in that neighborhood, and there are only slight indications of lice and mold, in a very few yaada, II. M. Reibhoff, of Logan, thinks that the wheat is considerably dam aged by the rains in his neighborhood. T. L. Turner, of Wilsonville, threshed 1000 bushel 8 of wheat from GO acres, and it is of a fair milling quality. A R. Ste'vens, who was in from Bea--ver Creek Monday, reported that the threshers were running between bIiow ers, and threshing out the grain as rap idly as po-sible. Some farmers took advantage of the good weather of last week to stack their wheat. Fred Steiner, Mr. Studeman and a few oth ers, who had large barns, stacked the grain under shelter, and it will be in gio.l condition when the thresher comes along. County Commissioner S. F. Marks stated that bop picking on his place had not been interrupted by the rains of Monday and Tuesday, and the hops are in excellent condition. Tuesday, 30 pickers gathered 120 boxes. County Commissioner J. R. Morton stated that it is difficult to get threshers in the Damascus neighborhood, and much ot the grain was suffering by be ing continually exposed to the weather. Mr. Morton's wheat, however, is well shockeland capped, and he dot's not anticipate that his wheat will be greatly damaged. Mr. Morton has learned by experience that it pays to cap the shocks, H. Thies-en, of Milwankle precinct, was in town Wednesday, and took home a load of patent flour. lfe is well pleased with the way his wheat turned out, and threshed in good condition af ter the rainy weather. U. S. Blakney, of Harmony, stated that the funnel s had about completed threshing their grain in his neighbor, hood, and thoheat came out in" good conlition.' In the Sunnyside neighbor-boi-hool, however, farmers have not hem :o fortunate. ;The delay in get ting threshing machines, caused more serious damage to the wheat. E. T. Crider, the Wilsonville mail carrier, states that hop pu king is pro gressing favorably on the Westside, and that lice and mold have only made their app-arunce in a few yards, and that only in a limited way. Some of the standing wheat will prob ably shatter out when it gets dry enough for handling. Many of the oat fields are in a bad condition. This dry weather came in time to prevent the damage to crops of ail kinds becoming niore serious. GLEANINGS. Kissing the, hands of great men wa a Grecian custom.
