FOUR CROPS PEARS
Gene Pant, of Reedville, was in
town Monday, feeling ' pretty
good over Washington County
scoring over Washington State
in the matter of jM-ar production,
lie has a K.'irtlrtt pear tree which
has borne two distinct crops this
season, and, in addition, ha had
two more blooms, making four
blooms for the season. This tree
has accomplished this freak -i-v-crnl
times since it commenced
bearing, ltoth the first and ncc
ond crops were perfect pears, the
second, however, being slightly
smaller than the initial. The ,sst
two blooms will be caught by
lack Frost. Dant showed the
second crop to J. J. K'rebs, now
of llockaway, a few years -tgo,
and Jake knows that both Dant
and the Argus tell the gospel
truth.

INE HARVEST WEATHER
all Plowing and Seeding Now
in Progress all Over Valley
The farmers of Washington
County have had one of the best
11-rouml years in the history of
griculture. Dame Nature has
done her level best in all lines of
roduction, and the yields of
every conceivable crop have been
sufficiently high to make all
smile except, of course, the
man who has to buy. In turn, he
is been blessed with the '.test
ages he ever earned.
Fall sown grain probably
averaged better than 25 budiels
per acre, and oats turned ou' a
bigger bushciage than ever be
fore. Well-filled silos are the
general run, lor it lias oecn a
good corn year, notwithstanding
frost cut the filler in a number
f places. Wheat has been bet
ter in price than the $2 mark,
and oats are higher than was to
be expected.
Prunes have in many localities
been a bumper crop, and the pro
duet bears a good, profitable
price.
Hops topped the nwrl.e'' for
price and here and there is to be
found a grorer who doggedly
sti.ck to hi: gnus and he Ins
reaped a reward for his pugnaci
ty the product sidling those not
under contract, of cours-r- from
70 to 75 cents.
The small fruit crop, loo, has
been big, and sir.nil vegetables
followed suit with sid'.-iaiitial re
turns.
1 lie weallier lias been such
thai all th;- har esl was saved in
good eotiditic n, and the farmers
are now busy plowing and seed
ing their Tall grain.
The potato crop on the hills
promises a good sun average
and Jack 1-rost lias cut only vines
in the lowlands and bench lands.
Tubers are bearing a good price,
as well as the other products,
and the man who tills the soil is
in clover.
Clover seed, with its big price
has been a big source of incme
to many, the product bearing the
stiffest price in history of local
production
Taken nil in all, the man with
the hoe" and farm implements
has no complaint and his pros
perity in all business lines.
The dairymen who riuse he
bulk of their feed are doing fine
ly, only those who are forced by
circumstances to buy heavily of
feed being out of luck.
