PouiLAM), June U.
The weather during tho present season
has been remarkably fine, anil more liko
thooistcrn climato thn i-" uiial with
us on the west coast. IVuuliful show
ers havo prevailed in thii region, but
have not helped Kastcrn Oregon, whore
they feel tho need of rain.
So far ns ropoits go ao hoar only
goml words as to crop prospects in gen
eral. Spring gnun and gardens are the
hotter for tho recent rain, though it was
only a guiitlo shower. Much complaint
is made of tho ravages of worms, and
especially tho cut worm hasbcou an eil
to corn mid gardens ; their existence is
phoiiomimd this year, and their dama
ges aro very considerable. Fioni this
on vo may expect more trouble from all
sorts of insect depredations.
Tho foreign market shows a some
what firmer feeling nnd small advance
tho piiht few days, based, no doubt, on
poorer crop prospects in England, where
rain has damaginl wheat to some extent,
but news in general is in favor of jin
average crop tho world over.
Tho repotts of tho agricultural
department favor u wheat crop of
:150,000,000 bu-diol this sooson, which
ts about average, though in 1SS2 tho
wheat yield was 525,000,000 bushels.
The fact that all countries will luno a
fair average harvest aflicts tho market
anil gives speculation no excuse for ex
citement. Wo could fnmNh greater
particulars, but the summary ot facts is
in favor of a fair crop tho world over.
Wo shall be. ablo to gather nioro satit
facfory data as to crop prospects in July,
ami tlmll then famuli all the details we
can.
Wool is held down by various cir
cumstances and factories go clow in
making their year's purchase of stock.
The wool buying business is iu com
pnratinoly a few hands nnd the mills
leave handling of it to their agents who
plan to uiako quotation to suit their In
tertiti and divide tho business rather
than compete with each other. Tho
tendency to weakness is apparent.
Tlio hop prospect aro quite good for
the coming sotson. Mr. GttorgHrreu,
woirvertvil on ho hop quontitnis
makjug tour pt th hop field of Oregon,
said iuforna tit he thall mke hi liNtd

Ho says tlio outlook for price is equally
as good as it was List season, ai-d the
yield promises abundant. Ho will give
us some important statistical Usurps
soon on tlio probalilo hop yield on tho

supply.

Crop Prospects
Mu.wAUKKn, Wis., Juno . S. W.Tal
madge to-day issuod his annual estimate
of the spring and winter wheat bnein.
His calculations aro on reports received
from tho secretaries of slato boaidsof
agriculturo and statistical reporih of
states. His results aro: Spring n heat,
.Minnesota, JSobraska, Iowa, Dakota and
Wisconsin, total, 141,000,000 bushels;
winter wheat in all other states and ter
ritories, :i75,O0O,OOO bushels, or a grand
total of f'il0,000,000 bushels.
The usual method by which girdled
applo trees aro restored is by inserting a
numlicr of scions ever tho wound, with
their onds sharpened flat so that they
may be Mruck under tho edge of the
bark on both sides tho wound. If tree
are girdlod by mice or rabbits in tho
winter, some method, should early be
pursued to save thorn. Tho very first
measure after tho mischief is discovered
is to protect tho wounded surface by
tying over it hcony rags, or banking
earth against it. This keeps tho surface
of tho wood soft, and pmvents checking
mid drying by wind. It is useless to in
hert scions or to apply other romedics
until tho trees begin to start in spring.
A pratico equally us good as that of in
orting scions, and perhaps better, is to
trim smoothly the odces of tho wound.
una" to insert over tho girdled placo a
ring of bark taken from a branch of a
similar size. Tio this ring in firmly, wax
over mo junctures ana neap eartu
about tho whole. If a limb of sufficient
bizo cannot be sacrifiod. uatch out the
ring with two or tliree pieces of bark. If
the joints nro mado tight, and tho work
done when tho sap is rising vigorously,
the job will bo a success. If tree are
healthy there is no need of letting them
die from girdling in winter or spring.
Fresh cow dung plastered over tho du
nudetl surface, and tied on tiehtlv with
a l ubund: nee of clothes, will always sa e
lryos that aro girdled before July, and it
will usually save thoso girdled later. 1
have known no less thnn a hundred
trees to bo saved in this manner, and 1
do not recall a einglo failure.

We understand tho interests of agricul

We have correspondents in all section? of

success of farming in every locality.
We shall keep pacu with production in
every department, and report, through cor

all important facta concerning farming in all
its branches, including productions of grain,
wrasses. ftuit and vegetables; concerning
stxk raising, the value of cattle for meat and
for dairyinc; of horses for all nurnoses: of
shrtp for wool and mutton, or both; of swine
and poultry. Also, is to bees and honey.

ever given tho producers of the country such

At A family taper the lvARuu: sustains
the closest relations to the people and ixer
cises the most salutatory influence. The
Willamette Farmer is not local in charac
ter, as the name nrght mislead yen to believe.
It was nunul fifttcn year ago. when the
Willamette Valley was Orecon. but it has ex.
panded and rruwn with the gronth of the
country and rcprtsnita all the agriculture of
uregon ana vt asningtoii.
Tins is the farmer's own organ, open for
all to relate experience, seek information, and
state any Grievance they may hava to ccm-
plain of acainst w boever and whatever seeks
to oppress or deceive them. Oar columns be
long to the people, and the value of the Far
mlr chiefly depends on such popular utter
ances. The KJitor brings to your aisistance the
experience of 3.1 yeats spout in this region;
intimato knowledge of the country; many
years connection with agriculture and twelve
years' acquaintance with many of you in the
columns of the F.i UMt.it.
The reduction of priii-a is made in expecta
tion that it will bring increased circulation.
We ask exery friend to aid us in that respect,
