C. Bchuobol, who was blllod for an

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 14 An
Indiana farmhand ha written a let
ter to President Kooaevelt about tha
work which the Country IJfe Com
mlaalon Is carrying on. The Presi
dent ha turned the letter over to
the Country 1.1 fe Commlaalon and the
Commission baa asked tho farmhand
to write some more.
"I have been a farmhand lust long
enough," says the President' corres
pondent, "to learn the cause of so
done a farm day' work. Regular
hours for work, and regular hours for
rust and recreation,, with plenty of
standard paper ana rxioks, including
tliu iieai agricultural puper an
hooks, and a full f tilth In Uod, an
ifoofl irriil, la wanted.
"The family should rlsn at 6 o'clock
011 Sunday morning as well a 00
week days, and do the necesaary Sun
day morning chores, and then go to
church and show the business man in
thu city that Sunday on the farm does
not consist In changing the stock from
one fluid to another, or suiting It, or
unloading a load of tiay that was
brought In on Saturday evening.
"Coming to the weal at tht meal
hour makes It easy on tha wife so
she can arrange her household dutle
In order, a can also the husband bi
farm work.
"Men of worth and standing In the
shop and city tell me that If order and
system ware used on tht farm they
would go back to the farm. If tbe
farmer wants to keep bit sons and
daughters on tbe farm be must not
longtbaa tht sours for a day's work
at both ends. Limit tho hours of
work 00 the farm to twelve or thir
teen with pay for overtime and free

Tbe Country Life Commission wet

fusion has resulted in tbe books,

from one precinct to another. The
total registration Just prior to hut
June's election was 64U3, and it la
estimated that, probably 350 names

In the population of the county.

ded, the divisions being In Abernetby,

exceed 300, the precinct .shall be di
vided and a new polling place created
by the county court. In Abernethy
the registration Is 349, In Oregon City
No. 1 It Is 401. and in Oregon City
No. 2 the total la 383. Tbls shows a
gratifying increase In the population
of the city and its suburbs. The reg

MILLIONS OF 8ALMON EGGS.
Satisfactory Fltherlet Operations In
Northwestern Waters.
Two hundred thousand Chinook sal
mon eggs have been taken at Clacka
mas Station, 800.000 at Eagle and
Tanner Creeks, 9.531.000 at Little
White Salmon, and 6.655,000 at Big
White Salmon, under the direction of
Superintendent O'Mulley of the Unit
ed States Bureau of Fisheries. Mr.
O'Malley says that the recent high
water damaged the racks at Flndley
Eddy on Rogue River, causing a large
number of fish to ascend the river,
which will materially reduce the take
of eggs on Rogue river.

Mr. Orchardlst, do you know that
now is the time to select that choice
fruit which is to make your section
a name for the production of first-
class fruit as good as Hood River?
Do not wait till Christmas and then
complain because people are talking
of your neighbor's fruit and not of
yours. Make up your mind now to
capture some of the cups and awards
to be given by the Oregon State So
ciety. Write Jaa. H. Reld, of Mil
waukee, Oregon, for a list of prizes,
and then save your, best fruit for com
petition In one or more classes.
Thla is th-? greatest meeting and ex
hibit ever held in Portland and you
will never cease regretting It If you
fail to be in evidence at that meeting
and have your best fruit entered In
the running. The society will keep
yeur exhibit In cold storage free. If
you wish it write to Mr. Reld as to de
tails.
We are not ready to announce the
programme yet, but we will have
some of the best talent in the country
and the whole event will be an epoch
making occasion In the history ' of
Northwest horticulture.
A score or more of splendid cups,
medals, awards and ribbons will be
assigned to the winners In the vari
ous classes and you ought to take
home aome for the credit of your sec
tion aa well as for your own personal
pleasure.
It will do you a world or good to
meet the big fruit men from British
Columbia, Montana, Idaho. Washing
ton. Oregon, California and outside
points. One of the interesting fea
tures of the meeting will be a ques
tion -box. If you have a question that
you desire answered by the conven
tion send it In and designate who shall
answer If you wish a particular per
son to consider it Let us have tne
questions early so that all may have
a chance to see what Is coming.

There la an absence of Eastern
orders for Oregon bops at the present
time, and that the brewer are not
In need of hops la shown by tbe In
struction that are received to defer
shipment of hops that are already
bought. There It also a lack of for
eign business, and as the speculators
are Idle, the Oregon market Is ex
ceedingly quiet. Many of the dealers
and hop men, who have choice hops
are holding until tbe prices are bet
ter. Many of the growers of the coun
ty, who have been engaged for many
years In raising hops are to have the
round plowed, and tbe ground planted
to grain, which will be more profit
able at the end of the year. New bops
of good quality are worth today from
7 to 8 cents In all of the markets of
the Pacific coast.

ally declining. Spinlcb is also to be

es prevailing in San Francisco. Po
tatoes are also somewhat affected in
some degree by the weakness there.
Th corn yield this year was excel
lent, but at the present time there is
none to be found In tbe local markets.

some extent. Some of the farmers
claim that the cold weather recently

etables.
