try surrounding Salem aro very encour
aging. Tho reports of aphis and lies
Inn fly are heard only from the Howell
prairie neighborhood and aro not com

dive travel as far south as Stayton,
eastward to Hcott's Mills and north to
Hubbard reveals a splendid stand of
grain and grass everwyhere, with a
promise of the greatest yield in many
years.
Fruit is looking well.
In many places close to streams,
where brush is plentiful, thoro is a
plague of caterpillars, which are both
ering tho troes and form a source of
troublesomo annoyance. ,

yards that aro taken care of. A prom
inent growor Bays that Otegon will
gather tho heaviest crop of hops In its
history.

ence quite gonorally.
A great deal nf permanent road work
has been dono and along tho highways
a marked clinngo for tho butter has
been wrought by tho tearing out of old
rail fences, tho substitution of neat
wiro fences and tho clearing away of
tho unsightly, wastoful fenco rows ot

tiro farming country breathes a spirit
of progress and prosperity.

ENGLAND DISCARDS OUR GOODS
Armour Says It Will Bo a Long Tlmo
Before European Prejudice
Can Bo Allayed.
Kansas City, Juno 7. The Journal
will say:
It Is estimated that tho business dono
by tho packing houses located hero will
suffer to the extent of $10,000,000 as a
result of the agitation in connection
with tho president's crutado against
canned meats. Representatives of tho
various plants Beon yesterday agrcod
with tho estimate in the tolraranhio
dispatches of yesterday that tho busi
ness of tho whole country would show
a loss of at least $160,000,000. Charles
W. Armour said yostorday:
"All this agitation Is going to do an
immen8o amount of damngo and In
quarters whore it will bo tho hardest to
overcome tho prejudice aroused. It
will be a long time before tho prejudlco
against American moats in England Ih
allayed and it will bo still longer on
tho continent. Tho packing industries
of tlio country havo enough obstacles
to contend with without increasing tlio
number unjustly or mischievously,
"Everybody knows how hard It Is to
control the meat trado in Gormany and
Franco. Tim world It) allied commer
cially against the United Btates. It la
only by dint of shoer superiority of pro
ducts, hotter methods and American
strenuo8ity that America holds her own
and is conquering tho markuta of tlio
world, It Is not from any commercial
hospitality,
"I do not think tho cstlmato of
$160,000,000 loss to tho packers In the
whole country is oxanuorated. That ia
only a strlukago of about 10 por cent
on tho total volume of business done.
which I think eaBlly $1,500,000,000 in
all branches of tho trade. Wo havo
complaints from England that the can-
nod meat trado Is decreasing."
