Wheat crop conditions in central Oregon are
well nigh ideal, at this time. Every return
ing visitor to the great wheat belt recently
has been loud in bis praise of the excellence
of the crop outlook. Sherman county espe
cially has come in for unstinted praise.
"I never saw the wheat crop condition in
Sherman county or anywhere In central Oregon
so good as at this time." ssys C. S. Jackson.
publisher of The Journal, who was at Wasco
yesterday, attending the reception given 8am
11111, the good roads booster. ,'-' --
'Sherman county has good farmers." say s
air. Jackson. "They are farming better there
now than when I lived at Pendleton 13 years
sgo. The ground has been placed in an un
usually favorable condition and the wheat
growers are getting results In good crops. Ad
versity has taught them the way."
With ship charter rates climbing nigher and
higher" and establishing new high records al
most every day, the market price for wheat
tere Is affected, especially ss foreign mar
kets are showing weakness and lower prices
instead of following the advances .being forced
by the higher freights. s s
That the orient is sgs!n about to enter the
wbest market here is indicated by the re
ceipt of a cable from Japan by Leo Peterson,
publisher of the Commercial Review, asking
for Information regarding liberal supplies.

Cherries Are Cracking.
Chehalls, Wash..! Msy 27. The continued
rains that have fallen in this section within
the paat two weeks hsve wrought very serious
damage to the strawberries and cherries ia
this vicinity.. Berry growers are very greatly
alarmed for 1 fear that they may lose their
entire crops iuaofsr as being able to make
shipments to outside points. The rain has
caused the cherries to crack and mould sets
In and it is feared that the entire cherry

DEMAND OF WOOL
;MEN. FOR PKOPER
PEICE IS MADE
While rsther fair prices were offered for
wool - at both the . Echo and Pendleton sales,
the- values were below what similar goods
have sold for In other sections of the coun
try. - Therefore grower-holders refused to ac
cept the blda. .
Failure of both the Echo and Pendleton as
well a Idaho growers to accept blda offered
by wool buyers. ' really does not mean that
the stocks will not move..
With the grestest shortage ever known fa
the world's fleece trade aud with the more
liberal as- well as harry up demand for war
woolens, manufacturers will not be 'able to
sidestep the market for any great extended
period.
Oregon growers have become so accustomed
to selling their wool for less tbsa other sec
tions were getting for similar quality, that it
will probably be some time before buyers
realise tbst the old days are of the past
and that in the future they cannot : secure
' snap purchases here. '
Irregularity Shown
In Stock Trading;
Market Is Mixed
New York. May 27. (I. N. S.) More or
less Irregularity prevailed In the stock mar

WHEAT OUTLOOK IS GOOD
Eldgefleld, - Wash., May 27. The weather
this season has, so far, been very favorable
to grain growing. There has been an ex
ceptional amount of rain this month, show
ers having fallen every day for more than
the paat two weeks. While the weather has
not been chilly, the temperature has been
cool enough so that ' the grain has main
tained a good, healthy growth. The acre
age planted throughout &idgefield and the
surrounding country is considerable greater
than sown in any previous year. The yields
ot wheat, oats i and other grains was ex
ceptionally heavy last year, wheat : in some
instances yielding as high as 50 bushels per
acre, cats, much heavier. Much new ground
tea been sown to grain and ia doing splendid
ly. In many frelds the grain is over three
feet la heigh th and the stalks are thick
ud strong. ;

TERRIBLE CONDITIONS
IN EASTERN FACTORIES
TOLD BY MRS. KELLEY
Consumers' League , Secre-
, tary Asks ' Western Wo-
men's Help,
Mrs. Florence Ke'ley, general secre
tary .. ot the Rational Consumers'
league, delivered four addresses in
Fortland yesterday, each on a different
subject, or at least each giving a dif
ferent slant, on the wotk of the league.
The last one was given before" a large
audience at Central library last evening-
when she took as her subject,
"Courts and Consumers," in wfcich she
dealt .with the struggles for legisla
tion poking toward better laws for
women and children.
In the afternoon Mrs. Kelley ad
dressed, a company of 100 women,-in
eluding the presidents of, many of the
clubs and Parent-Teacher - associations
at a meeting held at the home of. Mrs.
1. Hawkins, on Portland Heights.
Mrs; Kelley spoke on "The Great Op
portunity of the Voting Woman.
Mrs. Ke!Iey- pictured the terrible
conditions of the Women and children
working -. in " eastern . factories, and
pleaded eloquently with the "more
fortunate, Iree women" of the west
for their Kelp. .
At noon Mrs. Kelley was the honor
guest at 'a. luncheon given by the Pro
fessional .Woman's league at Hotel
Benson and at the conclusion of the
luncheon she spoke informally on th
work of the Consumers' league botb
here and in Europe. In the course of
this talk Mrs. Kelley said: ,
"The Congress of Mothers of whlcn
Mrs. Frederic Schoff of Philadelphia
is president, Is a false friend ofthe
Consumers' league and of child labor
legislation.: I haven't words to express
what Z feel on learning that tile Na
tional Congret-s recently helji " here
passed a resolution which trie to un
do what we are trying to do for the
good of ignorant people and ljUle chil
dren. It is unthinkable that an or
ganization with such a fetching name
as the Congress of Mothers should do
ouch a dastardly thing. I was at one
time a member of this Congress, but
I resigned cn account of the insistence
of Mrs. Schoff to undo what I was
trying to do in the league by letting
down ' the bars permitting children to
work 'in factories. Her family is large
ly ' interested in curtain f actiries in
Pennsylvania, where child labor Is em
ployed and it was largely on account
of the efforts of the Congress that it
took 2 years to pass a child labor law
in Pennsylvania.'
Fall Wheat Goes
Into Boot in the
- Interior of State
The following ' summary of .the
weather - and Its results : on the
condition of the principal crops in Oregon
for the week ending May 25, 1915, is based
upon investigations made by a number of
correspondents reporting to the local office
of the weather bureau r .
: Showers fell every day In the week in the
western counties and on two or 'more days
ia the esstern portions of the state. There
was. moeh cloudiness and In consequence the
day temperatures were unusually low, but the
night temperatures were about normal and no
damac-tna- frosts were reported.- The weather
was especially favorable for fall and spring I
mows cereals, legume hay crops, pastures and
ranges... . - :- .
Fall wheat is now in the boot and in son.e
places it has begun to head. On low land
in am w 1 1 hiii.iib.
valley tne rains nave
Weeds are getting troublesome and there has
,. k .nonr), a,-, ...ih.r ,hia th.
farmers to do as much cultivating as neces -
sary. The weather has also been too cool for
ecrn to make much progress. r
It has been very Injurious to strawberries
wuico nave ruiwu uu me viun auu tu vi
Other fruit Is doing nicely, except in a few
localities where fungus has. made it appear
ance on the apples.,
Sheep shearing in the central-portion of the
state Is making slow progress because of the
cool wet weather and - in all sections more
sunshine and higher 'temperatures are juat
now needed to promote growth and enable the
farmers to catch up with 'their work.
