The weather lias been more
cloudy during the past week than
for a long time, and libt rains
more general. Over one-half an
inch fell throughout the section
Tho teiiiMTature has Ven idightly
below tho average, with occasional
light frost.
1'IIOI'H.
The rain that fell was needed,
for the Hoil was becoming dry aixi
Into sown grain was not germinat
ing. The rain giveg renewed vigor
to grain already up, and greatly as
sist that not yet npiearing. The
rain that fell is worth a lurge sum
to the w heat fields. I'rospeetH were
never Iwtter for the wheat crop
than they are at the close of tho
present week. Tho increased acre
age, and more favorable weather
will produce a much larger crop
than the phehoineiial yield of last
year.
(irass on the rango is growing
and furnishing good feed. Stock
are fattening. Shearing is in pro
greHs. Fleeces are large and wool
of good quality
Fruit promises unusually well.
In Wasco countv there has been a
largely increased ncrcngc of wrter
melons. Vegetables in gardens are
growing rapidly.

Farmers etui improve the wheat
raised on their own farms, and in a
few years the result will be appar
ent by observation. The simplest
plan is to select tho largest and
finest heads of wheat and each
year sow them by themselves. Se
lect the finest products of these
heads and sow by themselves, sow
ing the rest ill the field; select the
best again, and so on each year.
The farmer who practices the aliove
will siion have seed wheat which
will command double prices if ad
