OREGON CITY. COURIER FRIDAY, AUGUST 16 1907 3 GARDEN TRUCK BENEFITTED. Threshing Somewhat Delayed on Ac . count of the Rains. - J The rain of last week practically did very little damage to the crops, but was a great benefit to the pota toes and other garden truck. - All through the county the farmers are very active cutting their grain and getting ready for their threshing, which has been somewhat delayed on acount of the rains of last week. In some sections the farmers have fin ished threshing and have their grain put away for the winter. The hop crop is inclined to be short this year, but from, the present out look the crop will be of good quality. In some sections the yards will not be picked this year, owing to the low price that is being paid by hop buy ers. Peaches of the early varieties are coming Into market, and by the lat ter part of the week the markets will be supplied with the luscious fruit. One merchant of this city has con tracted for ten acres of peaches of the Early Crawford variety. Peaches are still bringing $1.00 per box whole sale for the-test varieties, and the poorer varieties are bringing a price or 75 cents per box. Plums of the Bradshaw and Egg and Sugar varieties are bringing a price of 2 cents per pound. There is a great demand for prunes this year, and already buyers have been through the county searching for prunes and contracting for the yield. .Although there is a good crop this year the price of dried prunes and other dried fruits will be much higher this year than any previous year, owing to the big demand for Oregon dried fruits in New York, Chicago and England. Over 176 carloads of dried prunes have been contracted for the England market. The dried fruit of this coun try is far above the average, and the demand for the same is much greater this year than previous years. The Bartlett pear crop this year Is larger than it has been for years and in all sections 'of this county tthe trees are heavily laden. Some of the farmers are complaining of the scale on their pear trees, and are working hard to get rid of this pest. Corn, crop will be short this year, and good corn is scarce In the local markets. It is retailing at 15 cents per dozen. Ranch butter seems to be scarce in the markets, and during the past week the price has gone up five cents on the roll. Creamery butter Is bring ing a wholesale price of 70 cents per roll. Vegetables, Fruits, Etc. Domestic Fruits California apples, $2.10 box.
