GREATEST CROP IN

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 '

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. : . .- .

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

OREGON THIS YEAR,
PREDICTS SMITH
With the San Francisco platform
to run on and with the San' Fran
cisco nominee and United States
Senator Chamberlain to run on it in
Oregon, Ir. 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.

He has made a fine governor of Ohio
and' he will carry Ohio.
"I think -the convention put Us best
foot forward when it nominated Gov
ernor Cox," Bert Haney. former chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee and former United States at
torney, says. "Personally I was for Mc
Adoo but I think "that Cox is the
stronger candidate and X; am much
pleased at the result v
' "I regard Governor Cox as a very
strong candidate.. His performance In
Ohio Indicates a strength superior to
that of Harding. So declares Richard
W. Montague. "Cox has been elected
governor; of . Ohio three times. This
strength : among the people - who know
him best 'is indicative qf his strength! in
the country at large. If . Cox can "de
feat Harding in Ohio he can defeat him
the country over." ,. v". "
"Cox owes his nomination largely to
a resentment against the administra
tion's attempt to dominate the conven
tion. It would have been better for
the party If the powers-that-be at Wash
ington had kept some of its pets at
home and left the convention free to
write its platform and nominate its can
didates."! says Oswald West. ; -
"I am proud of the stand Bryan took,
not only on the liquor question but on
the League of Nations. He 'will be re
membered long after most of those; who
fought htm are forgotten. X
"I understand Cox Is an able man and
as governor of Ohio has given his peo
ple a good administration but ' before
giving him my indorsement . I wish to
know definitely his . position on the
boose question. - .
"I am for enforcement of our prohi
bition lawa and I am against any man
who is not. I have no reason .to believe
that Mr. Cox, if . elected, will pot en
force the dry laws, but I am going to
be sure that he will enforce them before
I throw up my hat for him." e
