with llxhlnlng speed when some un
fortunate teacher who has been
vern wlt'l thn lnda during the aciinol
year enters thn batter's box to face
thn delivery.
The xii me promises to yield a lot of
fun for the spectators, aa well, and
will be atagod at three In the after
noon. There la some doubt as yet as
to whom the umpire will be. The
teachers are auld to want County
School Superintendent T. J. flnry, but
.SOr. Cnry la a bit bashful about ac
centing thn lob. fearing that his
knowledxn of the national gnme la
not sufficient. The boys, on the oth

their own number ouxht to be arbiter,
so aa to prevent any bias In favor of
tho Instructor.
Thn field day will commence a
hair past ten In the morning, and will
be brim full of features from then un

of lesser features, arranged for both
school children and the "grownups"

soaring in he local markets.

GENERAL INCREASE IN ACREAGE
IS NOTED IN MARQUAM
AND OTHER DISTRICTS
LIVESTOCK GAINS IN POPULARITY
Ranchers Gradually Turning to Mar
ket Staples from Which As
sured Income May be Had
on Investment
Though present weather Is not fa
vorable, Clackamas county bop grow
ers are expecting one of the most
profitable harvests this season t'.M
has been gathered in recent years.
Acreage has been genrally increased
in the few districts where hops do
well, and preparations are now well
underway for getting the best out of
the crop. Vines are already topping
the poles, and will soon begin to
spread out, while in all fields cultiva
tion about the roots is being carried
on dally.
Growth of the plants Is somewhat
slower than usual, owing to the cold
and damp nights, but this is not an
unmixed evil, as it is believed that
the retarded development will make
the plants sturdier, and will enable
the-n to withstand the warm dry
weather that will probably come
with a rush when it once sets in, and
which might "burn out ' plants of less
stocklness.
In the neighborhood of Marquam,
which Is In the heart of perhaps the
best bop district In the county, grow
ers have but one complaint and that
is with the weather. Other prospects
are good, and after studying hop mar
ket conditions, most of the people in
terested In the vines concluded that
1913 was to be a year of high prices,
nnd added greatly to their acreage.
In fact Marquam Is going to rely for
Its profits this year almost entirely
on hops and apples. Hop fields were
much enlarged during the past win
ter, and there is a big acreage devot
ed to the vines.
In putting hops to the forefront
Marquam haa cut down much of the
orchard apace formerly given to pears
prunes and cherries. In fact, there
will be but little small fruit from this
section, nearly all that is to be
grown being already reserved for
borne consumption. Ranchers in the
vicinity are finding that the other
fruit doet not pay with sufficient reg
ularity, and are specializing in more
hardy apples, and in other farm prod
ucts, as well as hops.
In connection with this It has been
noted that there Is a growing tend
ency in many of the agricultural dis
tricts of the county to pay more at
tention to livestock. Settlers at first
relied almost entirely upon their field
for their livelihood, but bad seasons
and other troubles have led many to
turn to hogs and cattle. The ready
growth to be had of clover, vetch and
even alfalfa, hat made It possible to
harvest a crop of thla feed for hay,
and then to turn livestock loose In
the fields and leave them to fatten
up. There is always a livestock mar
ket and values never vary much in
staple lines; whereas the farmer who
relies upon fancy fruits for his in
come oftentimes find himself de
prived of revenue that he thouIJ have
received on his Initial investment
TOP PRICES RULE

is excepionally good, is to be had at

placing stock in cold storage. A drop
of a couple of cents per roll is quot
ed generally.
