The principal thing of interest in
the market this week is the tlood ol
peaches that is coming into the city
from the Milton country, and to a
lesser degree from the Walla Walla
and Wallula orchards, t uis is peach
season and there seems to ue plenty
of fruit to make it a good one. Ped
dlers and farmers with their wagons
loaded to the top are coming into the
city day after day looking for a
chance to sell their wares and so fai
the housewives of the city have un
loaded the wagons as fast as they
came.
Peaches are selling at 5 cents a
pound retail or from 45 to 65 cents a
box. The fruit is of good quality
large and will rank with the same
variety for other places that comes
in to the country at auy time of the
year.
Outside of the fruit and grocery
line there is not much of interest,
though the prices of cattle have fai
len to a certain extent, Some time
ago it was reported that the prices
at which young steers were selling
had dropped from $3.50 to $3.25 as
the bottom quotations and while this
may be so. it has not been as yet
borne out in practice for the least
that has been accepted in the last
week is $3.40. a drop of 10 cents.
While steers are plentiful and the
buyers seem to be able to get wnat
they want, the growers are not alto
gether at their mercy and will not
be for some time. Tbe men who have
the cattle are not breaking then
necks to unload on the market,
though they realize that the feed it
this section of the country is scarce
and that the fewer cattle they have
to feed, the better condition theii
stock will be when spring comes.
This holds good in most of the cases
though there are some of the growers
who have sufficient feed engaged tc
hold all of their cattle in good con
dition through the winter months.
The meat market has fallen in part
and the buyers are wanting it to fall
more, though no the other hand, the
growers are hoping that they will be
able to unload their surplus without
damaging the quotations to a great
er extent than has already been
done.

The first five days of the week were
warm and pleasaut and excellent for
harvesting wheat and hops. On Sat-
urday the weather became showery
and unsettled and light rains occur
red in all parts of the state.
These rains were of great benefit
to pastures and lute potatoes, but
they interfered with the harvest of
spring wheat, and also caused an in
crease of vermin in the hop yards.
Spring wheat harvest is drawing to
a close and threshing is progressing
rapidly. The grain yields continue
satisfactory, and the reports from
nearly everywhere are that the qual
ity are above average. Hop picking
is being pushed as fast as possible:
in fact, some correspondents say that
the hops are being picked too green

city yesterday for a short visit and
while here talked interestingly on
the corn crop of th«- Aln i.-» lisirbt
which in the estimation 01 Mr Kirk
«ill in the future take tbe place, in
a large measure, of the present sys
tem of summer fallowing.
Five year« ago there was not
enough com raised In that part of the
country to amount to much, but the
farm«»rs are coming to see the util
ity of. the crop and every year more
and more Is put in until at thfg time
there 1« 1.000 acres ripening in the
fallow fields surrounding Athena.
By the method that has been fol
lowed In the past the large wheat
land« of the county have been fal
lowed and at that time have done
nothing while they were resting,
Now in a measure they are made to
pay for their reat by the corn they
grow In the years when they do not
yield wheat.
The corn raised is mostly the Da-
kota Yellow Dent and is a hardy pro
duct and a good ylelder. It will give
25 to 30 bushels to the acre and In
good years and under good conditions
«III net a little more to the man
who tends it well This year there
are l.tksi acres in the neighborhood
of Athena, and all of tbe crop will
yield the figure given, and in the
market «III bring 50 cents per bushel.
The grain at this time is husked
and either fed to the stock in the
coli or is chopfwd and fed in tnat
way Th«» <attle are turn«*d into the
fields and cat the fodder off the
stalks, while what Is left is burned
«-hen it comes time to sow the land.
In this «ay a great deal of goo. feed
1» wasted of course, but the farmers
think that since all they get from
their crops is a gain over tbe fallow
system, they are not compelled to
save the odds and ends It Is possi
ble and probabk- that when the crop
is a more settled thing In toe county
that the m«-n who raise corn will
make preparation for saving it al!
Silos will be put in an<! the grain
and fodder will tie thus saved for
the cattle during the winter months
But while the grain is a good thing
in Itself and i* a saving In the line
of (red. when the fields are fallow,
it is a detriment to the wheat next
If the fanner» could raise
y**r
spring wheat on the land and make
it pay. the corn would not hurt the
yield, but when the fall wheat has
to be put in the ground without
plowing, after the corn has been har-
vest«*d the crop will be streaked and
spotted This is due to tbe fact that
there is left in places a bard sub-
strata when tbe grain is sown and
where this is found the wheat will
not yield. On the other hand, hxrh-y
1« not hurt by the rom for it is plant
ed in the spring and the farmer«
have a good chance to tear the
ground up before putting in the seed.
However, the grain in feed which
is got by tbe raising of corn more
than 1 lakes up for tbe !«•« in wheat
during the coming year, so that it
makes hut little difference to the
farmer if bis wheat is spotted, In
the estimation of Mr. Kirk, the grow
ing of corn Is a coming industry in
the Ath«»na country and if it can be
groan there, it is possible to raise it
In other parts of tbe county as well,
so that In a few years many of the
hills now barren during the long pe
riod« of fallowing will be a waving
mass of green while the land rests
for another crop of wheat
