Crop Reports ami Talks With
Farmers.
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.
