WASCO CROPS ARb
OF GOOD QUALITY;
YIELD TO BE LIGHT
The Dalles, Or., July S. In point
of production per acre Wasco county
will this season have one of Us
bst crops of wheat. At this time,
with harvest but a few days distant
in some Qf the earlier sections.- the
outlook for the wheat crop Is more
than hopefuL
There is a short acreage In. wheat this
season as compared with some recent
': years but the total output of wheat will
be somewhat better than the average for
the county during; the last 10 years.
Not only is the crop howlne a rather
wonderful stand, considering , conditions
I of the winter, but: there is every promise
that the quality will averaRe better than
any recent year that is If nothing hap
pens until harvest
CHF.KRT QTAMTT HIGH
Coarse grain acreage in Wasco county
this season ts conspicuous by its almost
. general absence. Both oat and barley
. acreage is nominal and even the planting
of corn is somewhat below recent years
Grain, however, is s Wasco county's
smallest asset, fruits and vegetables
taking first rank easily. ; Wasco county
Is mighty proud of its cherry" crop this
season. In face of the most disappoint
ing conditions of the winter which
theatened to lay low the entire cherry
area of this noted section, its cherry
quality this season is perhaps the best
for many years. What, cherries this
county grew this season are of superb
quality, but, all told, the county is not
picking more than a third of what it
gathered a year ago. Even this amount
is somewhat greater than had been
expected.
SUCCESS WITH STRAWBERRIES -The
entire' country it. already well ac
quainted with the fact that cherries from
Wasco county have this season broken
all high price ; records for the United
States. Carloads of Bings and Royal
.An net have taken the breath as well as
the money of the Chicago and New York
trade.
The canneries here are'putting up a
finer cherry this season than . ever be
fore, , and they have a demand for sev
eral times the volume they will be able
to supply. i r
Wasco county is not a heavy producer
of "strawberries But on its. limited acreage
this season it has been demonstrated that
it grows a quality that is sufficient to
"cause envy among those districts that
have heretofore had the reputation of
growing the best. The experiment has.
been so successful that preparations are
already being made to plant a liberal
area. -
COLD DAMAGES CROPS
In this connection it should be stated
that The Dalles has . canning facilities
to take care of an enormous acreage.
Tomato crop la a big one both in point
of acreage and production this season.
Other, vegetables show , a good crop,
but. the acreage Is still far below actual
. requirements of the packers.
There will be no peaches produced here
for canning this season, and the same is
true of apprlcots. both of these crops
having, been severely, damaged . by the
cold weather.

Southern Pine Being
Depleted; Douglas
Fir in High Demand
As a result of the rapid cutting out
of pine . timber in the southern states,
west coast lumber - manufacturers are
finding an increasing demand for their
products in that section. During the
month of May alone more than 7r car
loads of Douglas fir - lumber were
shipped to points In Texas, Arkansas,
Georgia, Louisiana,. Mississippi, North
Carolina and Virginia, according to
Robert B. Allen, secretary-manager of
the West Coast Lumber association.
One 'west coast firm has just com
pleted shipping an order for 266,499 feet
of Douglas Or ship decking to a ship
builder at Jacksonville, Fla. An Ev
erett Wash. firm has Just taken n
order for six cars of fir ceiling to be
delivered to retail yards in Georgia and
South Carolina, and for some time past
there has been steady shipptng of fir
flooring, celling, siding and mlllwork to
points In Mississippi.
Douglas fir is especially adapted. lor
use as ship decking and records of one
British Columbia mill show that it has
shipped over 27,000,000 feet of Douglas
fir decking to British, Scandinavian and
other large shipbuilding: countries. The
only complaint on- record against the
use of Douglas fir for ship decking, ac
cording to Allen, resulted from the use
cf unseasoned lumber, which occasioned
annoyance by its natural shrinkage
after being put into the ship.

CROP CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING
BIG CROP DUE,
SAYS REPORT
! ; By Broatla n WaU
iNew, York, July 5. Most of the
troubles of Wall street have - been
eliminated and the ' market factors
seem to be reduced to three. They
are crops,, the reserve board and the
Interste commerce commission.
L.tesfT reports say that crops are im
proving. The cotton situation Is vastly
better both as to condition of the plant
and acreage than It was a year ago.
Com acreage' -should break all records
because- of the winter wheat that was
abandoned. ; The great corn crop will
furnish sugar, substitutes as well as
meat.: i ' ':
-But the crops have; not passed the
critical period which conies Sn the .last
two weeks of July. In another month
or six weeks the situation will be safe.
But -the very abundance of crops
makes the other two -factors more se
rious, - Unless the rairoads get more
cars in -motion tire crops .. cannot be
moved and there will ' be ' shortage of
food, or at least high prices for it. and
further shortage of credit. ; The Ipter
state commerce 'commission by its de
lay in granting a rate Increase has made
it impossible for the roads to deal with
labor or get more cars. The federal re
serve board by refusing to recognize the
abnormal condition of the credit market
has crushed all lines of business..
Surplus for Export
I Steadily Decreases
The shortage in our exportable surplus
of food, to which British Ambassador
Geddes has just called attention, is-evidenced,
said a statement by the Na
tional City bank of New York, by fig
ures of our export record, both present
ana pre-war.' --
Of course, the stimulus of war demand,
ooupled - with guarantee of high prices,
somewhat increased production during
the active war, but aside from this ex
ceptional period, our surplus of food
products for exportation has been grad
bally but steadily dwindling for several
years. Foodstuffs, continues the bank's
statement, formed 56 per cent of our ex
ports in 1880, 42 per cent in 1890, 40 per
cent in 1900, dropping to 27 per cent in
1910, and 18 per cent. In the year imme
diately preceding:- the , war, 1914. ; Of
course, the demand of the war. and
especially when tho United States 'be
came a party to It, Intensified our wil
lingness to "skimp" at home for the sake
INDEPENDENCE!
ON THIS great occasion of action and
memories fraught w i t h realism
and romance, it is well to pause
and ponder. '
The great American eagle symbolizes
the independence won by our forefathers
through that greatest, of hardships 'mad sine pre
served by patriots on the fild of battle, here and
abroad, and typifies the protection ; afforded by
this powerful government.
All honor to thoso who, from time to time, in
the Nation's history paid whatever price becamo
noeossary sren to laying down their livos that
its institutions,' its freedom might endure.

National Banking
Aided by Reserve,
Says Comptroller
"Upon the innauguration of the fed
eral reserve banks, Bix , years ago, it
was freely suggested that under the
new system there would be a subsidence
of our national banks," says the comp
troller of the jcurrency. "Many whose
opinions commanded respect predicted
or suggested ..that there would be a grad
ual retirement -of these Institutions from
the national banking - system and that
they would reorganise under state char
ters, with membership in the federal
reserve system ',':. c '
Exactly the reverse has , happened.
Since the : inauguration of the federal
reserve system the national banks have
shown a more vigorous growth and de
velopment;, have matie greater earnings
and have established a better record
for immunity from failure than at any
time, since the national banking system
was, established In 1868. The movement
for state banks and trust companies to
take out national charters has been ac
celerated . and the number of. national
banks now in operation and the amount
of their paid-up capital is the greatest
in the history of the national banking
system." ....
