BARLEY FAIR CROP
Threshing of Oats Indicates
Yield of Small Siz.
WHEAT HARVEST DELAYED
lrune Picking and Drying Will Be
gin Xcxt Week in Southern Coun
ties, About Two Weeks Ear
lier Than I'sual Date.
Crop and weather conditions In Oregon
in the. past week ar aummarlzed by the
"Weather Bureau aa follows:
"The week wa one of variable tempera
tures, very cool during the opening days,
and with maximum temperaturea of 100 de
crees or above during the latter part. While
the unusual ralna. heavy In places, were of
considerable benefit to late crops, they
greatly Interfered with seasonal work and
caused considerable damage to hay and
grain which was ready for harveit. '
'Barley waa only a fair crop In moat
fields and waa not yielding aa well aa ex
pected In Wallowa County. The threahing
of oata continued to show poor yields. The
previous unusually dry season largely re
duced the yield of Spring wheat. Threah
ing of Winter wheat was greatly delayed
by raina In northeastern counties. Showers
aiso interfered with harvest In late fields,
where the grain Is becoming very ripe
and fears are entertained that It will shell
badly If not soon gathered. Some smut was
observed In occasional fielda In Umatilla
County, and the moisture is proving dele
terious to the crop in Sherman County
Yields, as a rule, are light and not up t
the average of former years, but the qualit
Is generally good. Corn made splendid
growth, la looking remarkably well since
the recent raina, and prospects are brigh
for an excellent crop.
"Raina also retarded stacking and housin
the second cutting of alfalfa and clover I
astern districts, and cauaed some damage
to hay in Baker, Union and Wallowa coun
tlea. A very ahort third crop of alfalfa
ready to cut in Jackson County. Rains ha
revived the gras on hill ranges, and wit
continued favorable conditions they sAould
furnish good Fall pasturage. Where showers
occurred there haa been a marked Improve
ment In paaturea and livestock consequent!
Is faring better, although some farmers are
bringing their cattle In from the range to
feed, owing to abort grazing.
"Prune picking and drying will begin
next week in Douglas and Linn counties,
which is about two weeks' earlier than th
average time for this work. Many orchards
Indicate a very heeavy yield, but only fair
la others, of excellent quality. Bartlett
pears are being harvested In the more
northerly counties and picking of the
later varieties will begin In Jackaon County
about September 1. The fruit aituation in
Hood River County la promising.
"Lata potatoes made good growth and In
some loealltlea will .make a flna crop, bu
the early plantings ahow only poor to fair
yields. Beana are developing very well In
Douglas and I, Inn counties, but there wil
bo a short crop In Josephine County on ac
count of 'Mosaic' Hoppicking haa Just
begun in Linn County. Late garden ahow
th beneficial effect of recent rains."

Society Member.
The City Council is preparing: to as
sume charge of the dogr pound, now op
erated by the Oregon Humane Society,
and Mayor Baker yesterday instructed
City Attorney LaRoche to prepare an
ordinance taking; possession of the
pound on September 1.
Taking over the city pound was
forced by refusal of the majority of
the Council to approve a plan submit
ted by the Oregon Humane Society for
their continued operation.
Commissioners Blgelow and Barbur
maintained that the operation of the
pound should not be delegated to out
side bodies, but Mayor Baker favored
allowing the society to continue in operation.
City Commissioner Barbur suggested
that the plan now used in connection
with the operation of the I.os Angeles
dog pound be investigated. In Los
Angeles the City Commissioner in
charge of the pound appoints an avis
ory board of five members who work
without compensation and virtually are
iH full power of the policy of the pound
operation. A conference will be held
today with members of the Human
Society when the Los Angeles plan wi
be discussed.
