DIVERSIFIED FARMIXG WINS
Josephine County Will Buy Xo Out
side Products as Result.
GRANTS PASS. Or.. Aug. 4. (Spe
cial.') This section of Kosrue Kiver
Valley will enjoy a good crop in every
respect. In many localities the trees
are over-burdened, while in others the
crop is not so heavy. Fruitgrowers
will receive better prices than last
year, owing to the development or in
ponntrr and areneral knowledge in th
raising and marketing of fruit. Pears
will he of larare size and good quality
Peaches in the local districts are
plentiful. The apples will be of splen
did oualitv and a good yield.
A large portion of Josephine County
devoted to frultraising will market its
first crop. Had It nofcbeen for the four
days of cold heavy ram aunng me
blooming period in ine oprm mo
Auction would have been far beyond
expectations. Early peaches are cheap
er this year In the local market than
last year. Early apples are selling at
4 cents. The general variety of ber--
in enmewhat cheaper than former
ly. The tomato crop will not be 60
heavy.
Hay and grain will be produced this
v- in twirA the Quantities of 'ier-3-
tofore. Hay is cheaper. In the local
market good baled hay will ne aenv
ered for 110 a ton, while last year
the price was $16. A great deal of
grain will be cut ana mresneu. par
ticularly In the Illinois Valley and on
Upper Applegate. The grain Is well
filled and will produce heavily.
The weather has been Ideal for al
falfa. In fact the late rains this Spring
increased the tonnage In every section
of the country.
Farmers, because of the large crops
are preparing to buy cattle and feed
their hay Instead of holding It for later
market pripes.
The potato crop will be excellent.
A large proportion of land has been de
voted this year to raising potatoes.
Many farmers have put out a large
acreage and they report a good yield.
Prices for all produce, except hay,
are likely to be satisfactory.
There is a general movement on foot
to produce everything that is needed at
home, and the Idea of diversified farm
ing Is gaining considerable ground.
XO HARVESTERS IDLE AT MORO
Sherman County Will Ship 4,000,-
00O Bushels of Wheat This Year.
MORO, Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.) There
is not an idle piece of harvest machin
ery In Sherman County. Messlnger's
steam thresher and the last of the com
bine harvesters, which were waiting
for the grain to finish ripening, began
work yesterday.
Sherman County, while a large grain
producer, only puts up hay enough for
each individual farmer. The small
amount that is sold Is handled on ad
vance orders.
While there is considerable land
wholly devoted to fruit lying along the
Columbia, John Day and Deschutes
rivers, the major part of the county
is devoted to grain products. For sev
eral years Sherman County has been
first in putting Oregon-grown berries
and peaches on the Portland market.
Last year the farmers of Sherman
County took the advice of the Oregon
Agricultural College and put potatoes
on Summer fallow land, which aided
materially In keeping down the weeds.
For the first time in the history of
the county, it exported instead of im
ported this product. The yield averaged
up to as high as 60 bushels to the acre.
Sherman County rapidly Is coming to
the front as a dairy producer. Cream
s being shipped in' constantly increas
ing quantity, and most of the farms
are equipped with a cream separator.
The wheat crop of 1912 for Sherman
County is conceded to be the largest
ever garnered in Its history. tour
million bushels Is the estimate of wheat
available for shipment. Twelve sacks
to the acre, two and a third bushels to
the sack, seem to be the average the
county over. A large number of fields
are known to have produced 35 bushels
and some more than 40 bushels to the
acre. Volunteer wheat is producing in
some places 10 bushels to the acre.
The Fall sown wheat Is doing ex
tremely well: in fact all lKr
based upon that grade. Until the last
few days Spring sown grain was con
sidered more than half a failure, but
later weather conditions have been
such as to force Its growth and ma
turity. -
CROPS ARE RECORD BREAKERS
Bumper Yields In All Lines Expected
In Wasco County.
THE DALLES. Or.. Aug. 4. (Spe-clal.)-Wasco
County will have record
breaking crops this year
cally every yield of grain, fruit and
vegetables will be a bumper on
Farmers and ranchers have the facts,
figures and crops with which to sub
stantiate this statement. .,,
Never In the history of this section
was wheat better than it Is now. The
general average will be between 32
and 35 bushels an acre, some yields
running as high as 40.
Phenomenal yields of rye are being
reported from every corner of the
county, in some Instances running up
to 60 bushels per acre. Barley looks
ar good as the other grains, which are
testing No. 1 and will command the
highest market prices. The total grain
crop will greatly exceed any other In
the history of Wasco County, several
hundred more acres having been seeded
this year. '
Hay is yielding better than four tons
to the acre in many places throughout
the county, and the crop will smash
til local records.
The Wasco cherry crop was slightly
below the average this Spring, but the
crops of apples, prunes, peaches, pears,
grapes and apricots will be the larg
est ever harvested.
Another crop to benefit by the prac
tically perfect climatic conditions
throughout the season is that of pota
toes. More acreage was put into pota
toes than ever before, and the yield
will easily set the high-water mark
for this product.
The prices received so far have been
generally satisfactory to Wasco County
ranchers and farmers.
ROGUE RIVER OUTLOOK IS FIXE
This Year's Crops Are Largest Ever
Produced In Vicinity.
MEDFORD, Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.)
Without exception. Medford and the
Rogue River Valley will' have the larg
est crops in their history this year. In
fruit there will be a pnenomenal crop
of apples. If August has an average
rainfall. Professor O'Oara, county path
ologist, predicts a total of 450 cars. In
1911 there were but 81 cars.
Although imperfect fertilisation, due
to damp- and cold weather In the
Spring, will reduce the original esti
mate of the pear crop, this fruit will
total a greater tonnage than In 1911.
The official estimate is 180 cars. Last
vfiir 117 cars were shipped.
The peach .crop Is being boxed now
and like the other fruits is of unusually
lares size and fine Quality. In 1911 n
cars were shipped; this year 35 cars
nrobablv will ro out.
Th nmnes. nlums. berries, tomatoes
and melons will bring the total fruit
shipments alone to 700 cars
In trains, noultrv. esgs and potatoes,
the condition this year is nothing short
of phenomenal.
The hay crop, with the early rains
and recent fair weather, will be a rec
ord breaker. The first cutting of al
falfa has already been made and grain
hay has been cut. Flour and reea mine,
which have been lying Idle for years,
will open in a few days.
Prices promise to be about the same
as last year. Bartlett pears, nowevci,
have already sold for future delivery
at 12 a box f. o. b. Medford. which ex
ceeds last year's prices by SO per cent.
Potatoes are now selling for one cent
a pound, while hay averages 8 a ton.
YIELD IS ABOVE AVERAGE
Farmers Generally Are Satisfied
With Prices Being Paid.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Aug. 4. (Spe
cial ) The crop conditions in Clacka
mas Countv this year are more en
couraging than for several years, and
the yield will be far aDove tne averasu.
The potato crop promises to be the
largest for vears. and the growers are
anticipating an average price. They
say the hot weather will cause a short
crop In California, ana tnar ine gen
eral supply will not be larger than
usual. There will be only a fair wheat
yield, the aphis having done a great
deal of damage. Although the fields
look well, the grain is not filling out
well, and the yield will be much below
what was expected before the advent
of the pest.
The hav croo will be large, aitnougn
rain did considerable damage. The
oats prospect is fine, and the yield of
other hay will be good. The fruit crop
in general Is fair, aitnougn mere win
be a small prune yield. However,
growers of prunes are now much more
encouraged than they were two weeks
ago, and many of the orchards are ex
pected to produce almost as mucn
fruit as last year. Plums and peacnes
will be short, due to damage done by
a late frost.
The farmers for the most part are
satisfied with the prices they are re
ceiving and say there Is no cause to
exnect a falling off. The market here
has not been overstocked, and there is
still a good demand for all kinds of
farm and garden produce ana iruus.
APPLES MORE THAX LAST YEAR
Other Fruits, Except Prunes and
Peaches, Average in Linn.
ALBANY. Or.. Auw. 4-(Special.)
Harvesting In Linn County Is proceed
ing satisfactorily and though the crop
of grain Is not a large one. indications
are for a fair yield. The yield of Fall
grain In this county thtB year is arjout
80 per cent of an average and as a
general rule is a little less than last
year's crop. This slight shortage is
due to unusually cold weather in the
Spring. Spring grain will yield better
than Fall grain, and irom present
Drospects will be about an average
yield. The Spring crop is better man
last year's yield.
There was a big yield or nay in -mis
county this year and thougn eariy
vetch was injured somewhat by rain
in June, the .year's total yield In this
countv will be larger than usual. De
spite the rain, most of the hay was
saved without damage. As regards
both hav and grain, the acreage in this
county this year was Just about that
of an average year.
There will be an Immense crop oi
potatoes in Linn County this Fall.
There Is a larger acreage of potatoes
than usual and the crop is a good one.
The fruit crOD this year will be good
with the exception of prunes and
peaches. The prune crop Is light and
the yield probably will be only about
25 per cent of that of 1911.
WHEAT SURPLUS IS 4,000,000
Fine Yields on Farms of Gilliam
County.
CONDON. Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.)
Harvest Is on in Gilliam County in
earnest and every farmer is busy. The
crop is unusually large and is being
cut as quickly as possible. Combined
harvesters are much in evidence, while
many farmers are heading and stack
ing or threshing direct from the head
er to the stationary separator.
The yield is enormous, some fields
going to 45 or 50 bushels to the acre,
and men who last Fall were In
straitened circumstances will pay
every debt and have a comfortable
bank account.
Hail did considerable damage in the
southern part of the county, something
that has never happened before, but
when this loss is estimated it will cut
a very small figure in the total yield.
Hay will be abundant witn plenty oi
fruit and. potatoes.
In the Shuttler, BlalocK anl Clem
districts wheat will average between
20 and 30 bushels, while the crop in
Terry Canyon. MayvlUe, Condon and
Gooseberry will be about the same. It
is a safe estimate 1,500,000 bushels will
be shipped from Condon alone, while
the whole county will export about 4,
000,000 bushels of grain.
The price at present Is not satisfac
tory and farmers will not sell until
better prices can be obtained.
The barley crop is also excellent this
year.
APPLE CROP OF 800,000 BOXES
Hood River Growers Watch Trees to
Prevent Breaking.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Aug. 4. (Spe
cial.) Although the early warm spells
and the unusually great precipitation
of May and June went far toward mak
ing a failure of the year's strawberry
crop in the Hood River Valley, the
rains were the making of tne greatest
hay and potato crops the community
has ever known. But few carload lots
of potatoes have ever been shipped out
of the valley In former years. How
ever, so excellent are the prospects for
the year that predictions are now made
that the shipments this season will be
at least 15,000 bags. The growers
have formerly marketed tne potatoes in
a haphazard manner.
The Hood River hay crop Is double
what it ever was in a former season.
Many orchardlsts who have devoted
small tracts to raising hay for their
own use will have quantities to dispose
of this season.
The apple crop, while It will prob
ably not reach the 1,000.000-box figure, j
as estimated at the blossoming period,
will run as high as 800.000 boxes. The
orchardlsts are kept busy watching
their trees to see that they do not
break from overloading.
IDEAL WEATHER AIDS CROPS
Wallowa Farms Outturn Has Xever
Been Exceeded, Is Belief.
ENTERPRISE. Or.. Aug. 4. (Spe
cial.) The largest crops ever gathered
In Wallowa County probably will be
harvested this Fall. This will be due
to two causes, unusually heavy and
continued rains, and steadily increas
ing farm acreage.
On most of the hill land dry farms
the wheat Is In splendid condition. In
some cases there has been too much
moisture, but this Is more than offset
by the better showing on higher land.
Rye is ripe and is producing abundant
ly, although this is not a very large
crop In the county. Barley Is heavy.
Some loss has been caused by rain,
which has caused barley to lodge,
where the crop had been forced, as on
Irrigated lands. But on the hill lands
the rains have brought fuller growth
with no damage.
Some hay has suffered from the
Summer rains, and farmers are advised
to buy stock and feed It, rather than
try to bale and market It. The yield
is very heavy, however.
Potatoes are in remarkably flourish
ing condition. The hill farms, which
raise the choicest potatoes, promise
large yields.
Continued moisture and absence of
cold nights have been responsible for
fine fruit crops. 'Strawberries and
other small fruits have produced gen
erously, and good prices have been
realized. Cherries are now ripening.
Apple and pear trees have been at
tacked with fire blight, and orchard
owners are Just awakening to the
danger.

GOOD PRUNE PRICES ASSURED
Extent of Marion County Crop Not
Yet Certain.
SALEM. Or., auk.' 4. (Special.) '
Bumper crops. In most respects, are
lnnked for In Marion County this year.
The hay crop is large and the price so

as cheap as 4 In the field. The potato
crop gives big promise. There are
more potatoes pianiea inn year muu

be cheap as a consequence.
It is predicted that the apple crop
will be enormous.
Prunes have suffered somewhat ana

this crop. Some say that mere win

be a third of a crop, while others say

generally ascertained, however, the
figure placing the crop at one-half
seems to be a conservative estimate,
and practically correct. Prices prom
ise to range wen ror prunes.
There is comparatively little
grain in Marlon County, but what
grain there Is here is excellent. On
the whole the outlook to the farmers
seems to be satisfactory. Some hay
has been injured, but otherwise the
weather conditions have been good,
barring some small late rains which
threatened to do some harm, but con

HOPS FINE IX YAMHILL COUNTY
Grain, Hay and Fruits Are Also Do
ing Unusually Well.
M'MINNVILLE. Or.. Aug. 4 (Special.)
The farmers of Yamhill county have
every prospect of a large yield and
good prices this year. In fact It may
be one of the most successiui tor sev
eral years. Crop conditions are good
in general, and some are better than in
former years. The Fall wheat, now
belnir cut. Is reported as well filled and
will turn out better than last season.
In potatoes there Is a third more
acreage than in 1911. and prospects of
double the amount, as the potato crop
Is the finest this county has had for
some time.
Hay Is plentiful, although the late
rains damage a little, but the loss
was more thajt offset by the benefit
to other crops. The present weamer
conditions are fine for grain maturing,
and especially for hops.
The fruit crop is exceptionally good
and promises a large yield of good
quality, except prunes, of which there
will be a little shortage compared wnn
last year's crop. Apples will be plen
tiful and from all appearances of a
good quality. The cherry crop, now
past, was not as large as formerly, but
commanded a good price. The prices
paid for hay are slightly above those of
last year, and farmers are expecting
satisfactory prices for gram this rail.
A number of hop contracts have been
recorded the past week for 1912 hops
at 19 to 22 cents, while for two and
three years in advance, that is for
years 1913 and 1914. the prices given
were from 13 to 15 cents. It is rather
early to estimate the hop yield. The
pear crop Is not above tne average.
FRUIT ABUNDANT, GRADE FIXE
Except Cherries, Yields Are Large
in Lane County District.
EUGENE. Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.)'
Barring cherries, the fruit and berry
croo of Lane County has been unusual

of ten years, except in a lew localities
where the Hessian fly damaged Fall
srrain. In the Fern Ridge country.
west of Eugene, hay is better than
ever known before, and the price gen
erally is dropping.
Prices of fruits and berries are prac

products canned or green, oepenqing
on which offers tne better marxet.
HOPS ARE OF FIXE QUALITY
All Crops Have Done Well In Polk
County This Year.
DALLAS, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.)
General crop conditions in poik uounty
are better this year than they have
been for many years past. The hay
crop is unusually good, and, owing to
the admirable weather, the crop was
harvested without damage. Last year,
owing to rain after the hay had been
cut and before it had been taken care
of. many tons were destroyed
The grain crop is above the average
In size, and is excellent. The same can
be said of the potatoes, and also of the
hons.
Unless unforeseen weather condi
tions develop, the crop this year will
be the best in years. The crop Is
heavy now, and the weather is perfect
for a superior quality.
There was considerable worry on the
part of the fruitgrowers some time
ago, owing to unsettled weather con
ditions, which promised to decrease
greatly the prune crop In this county,
but. although the trees are not loaded
as heavily as they have been in former
years, still the prunes are larger ana
are of a superior quality.
The farmers and fruitgrowers of this
county are satisfied With the prices
prevailing for all farm products,
POTATOES CONSUMED AT HOME
Coos County Has Large Crop but Lo
cal Demand Is Good.
COQTJILLE. Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.)
The apple growers of Coos county win
suffer considerably as a result of the
late Spring rains, but producers of
other farm crops will reap an abundant
harvest.
The hay crop promises to be 20 per
cent greater than the average. con
tinual rainfall during the naymg sea
son caused a loss of about 16 per cent
on. the first cutting, but this loss will
be considerably more than made up by
the excess of later cuttings.
The production of grain will be about
normal.
The prospects are good for a large
crop of potatoes with a growing de
mand sufficient to consume, the entire
output, at good prices.
The yield of berries for the year has
been above the average, but apples will
be scarce. There probably will be less
than 15 per cent of the usual crop of
Gravenstelns, complete pollenatlon hav
ing been prevented by late cold rains.
All products of the farm are command
ing good prices.
CROPS BIG AND PRICES GOOD
Prospects Were Never Better In
Douglas County.
ROSEBURG, Or- Aug. 4, (Special.)
Never In the history of Douglas
County has the outlook for crops been
so encouraging as at the present time.
This prediction does not only apply to
grains and hay, but to fruits, potatoes
and all other products.
Blessed with good weather and an
absence of storms since early in the
Spring, the fruits have matured rapid
ly and are in tne best oi conaition.
The second crop of hay is also encour
aging, and It is the general prediction
that this year's supply will far exceed
that of previous years. All grains are
also said to be maturing satisfactorily.
Potatoes, which have been somewhat
neglected in previous years, are being
raised extensively throughout Douglas
County this season. In past years
many carloads of Willamette Valley
potatoes were bought to supply the
Douglas County demand, while this
year it is predicted that enougn or me
product will be raised to supply con
sumption.
As usual, the rruitgrowers are iook
lng ahead to a bumper crop of prunes
throughout Douglas County. The more
important prunegrowers say this year's
crop will not only exceed past seasons
with regard to the amount of prunes
raised, but that the prevailing prices
will far exceed previous seasons.

of Loyal Progressives.
COUNTY CAMPAIGN DESIRED
Majority Oregon Third Party Lead

Already rumblings are heard of an
approaching clash of the Bull Moose In
Multnomah County. The encounter
will come when the members of the
National Progressive party hold an as
sembly and elect a member of the
state central committee. The Issue
that will furnish the provocation will
be the matter of Indorsing the nom

When the recent Btate convention In
Portland officially gave birth to the
new party In this state, a resolution,
declaring for full state and county
tickets, was tabled by a close vote, fol
lowing a heated discussion. But this
temporary defeat did not discourage
the supporters of the resolution, who
have been diligently at work ever since
the state convention adjourned, sine

considerable sentiment favorable to
bringing out third party candidates for
all offices, both state and county, and
declare they will not cease their ef
forts until they win.
Convention Date Not Set Vet.
A date has not been fixed for the
county convention. This meeting prob
ably will not be arranged until, after
George F. Rodgers, of Salem, chairman
of the late state convention, issues
an official call for a meeting of the
members-elect of the state central

Bull Moose followers . in the various
counties will arrange to hold assem
blies in their respective counties,, in
advance of the state meeting, and elect
a member of the state committee. The
disposition in this county is to hold a
county convention, Just as soon after
the Chioago gathering has adjourned,
as can be arranged. The leaders of
the third party movement are agreed
on one thing, and that is, the neces
sity of organization, and they are anx
ious to get into the harness.
Those who are demanding a com
plete third party ticket In this state
and In Multnomah County, are not so
captious as to the manner In which
those candidates shall be determined
upon, as they are Insistent that can
didates shall be named. They refuse
to consider any suggestion of a com
promise, under which only candidates
for United States Senator and Repre
sentatives In Congress would be nom
inated. They take the unqualified po
sition that a third party presupposes
a full ticket, with candidates for all
offices to be elected.
County Indorsement Sought.
The "third ticket" advocates will ask
Indorsement of their plan by the
county convention, when it meets. Dr.
H. W. Coe and C. W. Ackerson orig
inally suggested that the new party
ascertain, whether or not the Repub
lican nominees for the various offi
ces on the state and county tickets
were supporters of Roosevelt, before
further considering the personnel of a
"third ticket." Mr. Ackerson Is now
disposed to insist on a full ticket any
way. The suggestion has been made that
the new party in this county, since
past political affiliations do not con
stitute a bar to membership In the
organization, form Its ticket by in
dorsing in about equal numbers, the
nominees of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties, as they were chosen In
the April primary election.
Even this plan Is objected to by the
more enthusiastic third party workers.
They not only want a third party
ticket, but they want It made up of
candidates of unquestioned Bull Moose
quality; in fact, to many of the third
party, only charter members of the
organization would be acceptable as
candidates.
County Ticket Not Abandoned.
"We have in no sense abandoned our
contention for a complete ticket in
Multnomah, and for state offices," said
a supporter of the third party resolu
tion, in the state convention. "We will
ask the county convention to Indorse
It. A new party can be strengtneea
by having a full ticket In the field.
That Is what we Insist upon, and we
believe we are voicing the wishes of
the great majority of those who have
the success of the new party seriously
at heart, and are not actuated solely
by selfish political motives.
"Right here I wish to say, that when
our county convention Is held, an element-
that attended the state conven
tion and took part In its deliberations
will be eliminated. If we have our way.
The men to whom I refer, were not
In svmnathv with the third party move
ment. They attended the convention
merely for the purpose of playing pol
itics to the possible embarrassment of
the new party. Tney aia not mine
much headway, other than being
mainly responsible for tabling our res
olution for a third ticket, xnat was
one of the real reasons they were In
the convention. We know who they
are and will not give them a chance
to fool us again."

Many to Study Music
Big Sum of Money Secured
for Purpose of Giving
Free Music Lessons
Many of the big piano manufacturers
have found business only good "in
spots" In the United States, resulting
In an accumulation of fine pianos that
they were anxious to dispose of. In
spite of the splendid business outlook
for Fall trade, many simply had to
unload at once. After somewhat
lengthy negotiations the Eilers Music
House buyers succeeded In getting a lot
of very fine pianos at enormous re
ductions. Besides this, each manufac
turer agrees to pay for music lessons
to be given free to every purchaser of
a piano during the month of August of
the Eilers House.
NEARLY FIFTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
The magnitude of this transaction
will be seen when it is known that ex
actly $14,815 has been allotted to Eilers
Music House to pay out for music les
sons. The established teachers of
Portland can have this money: it will
all be paid to instructors of music,
high-priced or low-priced, throughout
this city and state. One scholarship is
to eo to each buver of a Diano at re
duced prices, but if a buyer does not
want the lessons they may be trans
ferred to any one designated by each
purchaser, to be taken right away or
later on as may be desired.
HOW IT WAS ARRANGED.
The manufacturers sold their surplus
stocks at prices. In many cases, repre
senting only the cost of materials and
labor; but it was decided that any sale
launched in August would have to be
doublv attractive in order to succeed.
Hence the free-scholarship plan. Jt
was suggested by the Eilers people.
and every manufacturer, without a
single exception, agreed to It.
SIMPLE AND EASY, TOO.
All anybody has to do Is to select
one ot tne numerous airrerent manes
in this sale, navins: as little as $1.25
or $2 a week if desired, and the piano
is delivered to the home rignt away.
Payments may be made by the month
it more convenient.
BUYER SELECTS TEACHER.
Each buyer may employ any teacher
preierrea, fellers music House is neu
tral in the entire matter. The only
condition is that the teacher shall be
using a piano bought from Eilers
Music House. Nearly every teacher of
standing is a patron oi me cuers
firm, so this condition can be readily
complied with. It is only fair and
Just that the big music house should
direct the manufacturers' funds, as far
as possible, into the purses of its own
patrons. .
GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL.
Hundreds of young people in this
city and state will be nappy to learn
of these free scholarships. It is ex
pected that there will be a new record
for piano buying established at the
Big fiano uouse located in fortiana
at Seventh and Alder streets. See
also page 11, section 1, of yesterday's
uregonian for lull particulars.
