TUESDAY JULY 8, lifiSU THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. OKKCiUN GREATEST CROP IN MADRAS DISTRICT DEPENDS ON RAIN OREGON'S SOLDIERS OFF FOR TRAINING 1 DEMOGRATSTOWIN By Hi man II Cohen s. Madras, Or., - July 6. One more tiiln and to this section of the Des ciiutett country . is assured the great est crop of wheat since farming re placed cattle and - sheep as first choler. ThUs I nt to indicate that the day of the livestock Industry Is by any means past in .Central Oregon. Such a statement would not be in line with the facte. Central Oregon has simply passed from a strictly livestock coun try into a section that makes a spe cialty of wheat, tut diversified farm ing is- also taking a strong hold here. . V-villi n I vsrcguu la luuay khuwii; iiuui one eno or me country to me otner as a producer; not only of the best that grows In the livestock line, but also of a potato that' is in a class by itself. ,T prove this later statement I have but to mention the fact that In Cali fornia, as In other states wherever old, the Central Oregon potato com mands a liberal premium over the" po tato grown in other sections. ; ? JEOSPECT IS GOOD . ; California goes - strong on its own, products, and when- the native . sons of " the Golden ."West "pay ' premiums for a product grown outside' of the state it needs no argument whatever as proof that a product-must be superior to the ative grown, -land the entire world in stantly takes notice of that fact. Central Oregon not only has its great potato- acreage this season, but it like wise has roost excellent crop prospects for both stee and quality. ? -. Wheat, however, is one of the really .new industries of the ! Deschutes coun try. Central Oregon not only has a liberal acreage . this season, but so far as the fall sowing is concerned the crop is already assured. Present pros pects for the fall crop are for a most excellent yield. IRRIGATION IS AVA5TEB ' The Deschutes country aIsohas a lib eral acreage In spring wheat this sea- L"n- At this time it is growing well. against loss. '.-'''; . At this time there is considerable agi tation In this section In regard to the proposed new irrigation unit. ' It has already .been generally demonstrated that Central . Oregon, will some day take its rightful place as a producer of ap ples and other fruits. : . .- . if l i ' -l - ... m i nr . u n "" 1 " TV r n i i n i ) i i j PROSPECT HELD EXCELLENT . EV GILLIAM ASD WHEELER Condon, Or., July 6. Gilliam fend Wheeler counties, have excellent crop prospects at this' time. I may safely say that, barring unusual accidents,, both counties will produce a far bigger and better crop than, during 1919. North of Condon the lighter land sec tions are showing good prospects for both spring and fall wheat, although quite naturally the fall wheat, looks much the beat and is practically assured. Spring wheat In general is showing good growth for this time of the season, and, while another rain would do won ders, the present prospect is for a fully normal yield." , - In the Shuttler Fiat section the show ing is somewhat better than the usually cood one. Shuttler's can always be Vounted upon to contribute more than its share of Gilliam county's total. Around Mikkaio and through Clem the prospects are better than the normal, with a." greater percentage of fall sow ing than usual and total area about normal.: Wheeler county has prospects that are likewise better than the normal. In the MayvUle country, where crops of liberal proportion are always practically as sured, this "year's -showing is good: Fall wheat predominates and this to the knowing ones Is a sign of a sure crop. HELP NOT LACKING Year y year there Is a growing area ta grain planted further in the interior. Close to, Fossil .there ia considerable wheat In this season. The experiment is proving a success far beyond expec tations.: . - " Livestock conditions are generally fa vorable;: While there are not as many cattle -In this section as a few years ago, the excellent condition of fhe range has nut thei stock in fat condition. Harvest will be perhaps 10 'days later this season than normal. At this time thre are indications that there will be no lack of farm help for the harvest. From Portland and other points employ ment agents are writing and telephoning to ask farmers here if they n,eed more neip. - I l...v:---pZC: W I :. x . - - : - M - ' - i ' 1 l 'si F V 1:1 tlK v v V U . - yv , - A 4- ; One Cent Advance In Milk Price Is Being Investigated Deputy City Attorney Lionel jjackay Ip visiting the dairymen of Multnomah and Washington counties preliminary to making bis report on, the reason for the increase of One cent in the price of milk becoming effective: July L, !

C. J. Smith, chairman of the Democratic state central com mittee, sees five , Democratic, "presi dential electors romping under the wire i as; winners in the' November election in this state.' ' He says five; because that la all Oregon Is enti tled to under tbe statutes as now taade and provided. - j ' Dr. Smith - returned; Monday night from i San Francises', where he went to look on at the national convention. He comes back with a good opinion of the big show' but hot so good an . Impres sion of the big city, j The convention, Dr. Smith says, did a good Job, both as to its platform and; as to Its ticket. The city, did a good i job also to the delegates, the alternates " and "Tevery body,, the hospitable Californlans seem ing to go on the theory that the proper thing to do- was to get while the getting . was good. ; That state of mind on the : part : of the natives was unpleasantly incidental to the main show,, however, and will be lost sight of In the smoke of po litical combat soon to envelop She na tion, Dr. Smith , believes.,. "I am - very much pleased with ' the platform adopted and- with the ticket as nominated by the convention,? Dr. Smith says. . It. has put the League of Nations Issue clearly before -the voters in definite form, a thing which the f Chicago . platform failed ' to de Oregon, -in my opinion,' is strongly in favor of the ratification of the league covenant, and I expect to see the vot ers J of this stale register their ap proval of the San Francisco pronounce ment on that question when the votes are (counted in , November. - ! "The platform also ' has taken a strong nd eminently 1 fair position in reference to labor, which I believe will appeal j to the. people of the coun try, whether they be employes or em ployers, .while- the whole platform Is progressive, : definite - and does not re quire i the laborious interpretation .to make i it ofrward-looking suggested oy Herbert Hoover of the Chicago plat form. . . - : i . . -. "Governor Cox." Dr. Smith 'contin ued, "is a strong man. He has made a good governor of Ohio, and I believe can carry his home state against Sen ator Harding. In my opinion the San Francisco nominations are exceptional ly strong ones, and with the presiden tial ticket and Senator Chamberlain both campaigning under the same ban ner there is but little question but that Oregon will follow them in November.'' PORTLAND DEMOCRATS LIKE GOVERNOR COX'S NOMINATION Portland Democrats are well pleased with the nomination j of Governor Cox to head the national (ticket. , ! "I think it. is a fine thing." is the way W. D. Wheelwright phrases his idea of it "Tt la verv satisfactory ' because it puts a man at the head of 4 the ticket who has been able to carry his own state against tremendous majorities. It is also a good nomination. In m'y opin ion, because it disposes of the object tions j that - would . have been urged against McAdoo as ja; candidate - and which can not now be Injected Into the campaign. I know of but one man whom I would have preferred and that was John ;W. Davis, but I ; think the nomina tion of Governor Cox is very satisfac tory, and 'I am much gratified with it. "The best in the - world. Is what El ton Watkins. president of the Jackson club, has to say in reference to the Cox nomination. "I think it is the . best possible nomination that could have been made. Cox made a good congressman.
