Speculation On Canned Tomatoes.
:'; v Wholesalers and retailers are worry-

reported killing of so many plants in
the various Eastern States. The coming
crop is estimated by the leading au
thorities as very short and tomato
prices this year are very likely to break

canned goods prices are from 5 to 10
cents a dozen higher than the prices
that prevailed during the- previous sea-

says: Winter wheat, where it is nar
vested. is more or less disappointing.
It is improved some in other places. The
general outlook wae not essentially
changed during the week. The corn
situation is moderately improved, and
the low condition is due to lateness.
pats are improving, but are short east

me from Webfoot, In which there msy
be a suspicion of truth, and possibly,
in a, measure at least account for, th
fine weather you had In January. Feb
ruary and part of March. All last week
It just poured so hard that even the
ricksha boys, barelegged, aa they are, 1
refused to go out, and we had to pay
them, after coaxing,- one yen per trip,
either to or from th. Exposition, which
usually costs only 25 sen. yet the rainy
aeason does hot begin until June, when
I am assured it does rain some. But'
how it can pour any more without
drowning out everything I cannot un
derstand,

"You remember J. B. Pllkington,
kindly added a few fruit, treea to
exhibit, which I planted just outside of
our building and fenced. Early In April
the two-year-old transcendent ' crab ap
ple tree waa In full bloom. I never saw a
young tree blossom so beautifully, and
as th Japanese are worshipers of alt
flowers, especially trees, It attracted
ar great deal f attention,' and a crowd
gathered around it all day long. Some
newspapers published an account of It,
and the news reached Sapporr, in the
Island of Hokaldo, where the Imperial
Agricultural College t la located, ; and
about th only spot .in Japan "where ap
ples and Dears do fairly well. Down

They called upon me, and as they are
graduates of Cornell Station. N. Y.,
spoke 'American' fluently, and we. had
quite a talk. And you know when I
get started on horticulture, I am liable
to forget how time files. At any rate,
w had... very enjoyable chat, and I
gave them each a copy of our fifth and
sixth reports, ana here is where i

"Yesterday they called again, and the
way they spoke about the reports made
me blush all over. They demanded more
copies, for they Intended to us them
as text-books. ' This adda-: another
feather in our hat. for it is Germany,

"When I look over the thirteen years'
work r we - put In aa members of this
board. - and how faithful we (different
commissioners have labored, practically
without compensation, for an industry
destined,, If it Is not so already, one of
the - best-paying Investments In Oregon,
and how far-reaching tha result ar. I
feel . mortified at the - niggardly annual
appropriation of $4,600, ao grudgingly
given, which I see has been graciously
allowed in the appropriation bill, when
so many thousands ar squandered use
lessly. J tell you that Is .what makes
It so hard to do anything for Oregon,
for our work has not been paid for, and
I doubt If it la appreciated at home, aa
abroad."., . .... . ;
