CROPS BETTER THAN

SO SAYS OFFICIAL OF
AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT
ADAMS FARMERS ARE
I). E. S('ilH'iiK, Executive Aru.lttant In
Gruin Investigation on Tour of the
Coast Declare I'roKpcrts) Arc Bet
ter Thau Reported Wheat Crop
Fulls In Montana.
Spokane, Wash. "Prospects for
grain are much better than noted in
the reports sent broadcast from va
rious points in the west," said D. E.
Stephens, executive assistant in graifi
Investigation of the department of ag
riculture, who is In Spokane from
Washington, D. C. on a tour of Ida
ho, Washington, Oregon, California
and Texas to investigate the needs of
farmers in the semi-arid districts and
the requirements or the experiment
stations established by the federal
government in the northwestern and
Pacific states.
"Throughout Montana the wheat
crop is fair." Dr. Stephens said. "It
la better a distance from the railroads
than alongside of ' the rights-of-way.
It is particularly good in the Galla
tin valley, where one field I saw will
yield 50 bushels to the acre. Most of
the farmers there are tilling the soil
In the right way. The valley has lit
tle rainfall generally and this year
it was lower than usual, and yet the
crops are as good as almost anywhere.
Farmers near Pudith Basin also will
make from 30 to 40 bushels to the
acre.
"Farmers in the humid districts
are finding that dry farming Is suc
cessful. In Minnesota, for example,
the northwestern part suffered from
severe drouth, but In districts where
dry farming was practiced the farm
es report good crops. Farmers evey
where are learning that it pays to
till the soil thoroughly even in wet
seasons, while doing so during seasons
of drouth It insures a crop."
Mr. Stephens had a conference with
John T. Burns, secretary of the Dry
Farming congress, during his stay in
Spokane and promised he would
"boost" for the fifth session of that
organization in this city, October 3
to 6, on his trip through the North
western and Pacific states, saying also
that the educational side of the big
convention of farmers and the ex
position of dry farmed products are
of greater value than can be measui
ed in dollars and cents.

Wnlla Walla Needs Help.
Walla Walla. Wash. For the first
time this year farmers are complain
ing of a scarcity of labor, and some
of the agriculturists are having diffi
culty In keeping their harvest crews
filled, they state. There are fewer
Idle men on the streets of the city
than at any previous harvest ever
known, owing to the actlvilly of the
police In keeping vagrants moving,
and of the farmers taking every op
portunity to snap up available men.
However, according to the most
conservative farmers, there Is no dan
ger of a labor shortage In the valley
and they believe enough help will keep
drifting through to mnko record time
In taking care of the grain this fall.
Wheat closed Saturday Bluggieh and
Inactive, with few sales made. Much
grain was offered at the 90-cent fig
ure, but buyers did not seem anxious
'to snap It up. One sale of new club
at 83 cents was recorded, 7000 bush
els going at this figure. The first of
the week Is expected to tone the mar
ket up and much activity is expected.
Accidentally Kills Kinsman.
Roseburg, Or. R. L. Sears, a
Southern Pacific brakeman, of Los
Angeles, Cal.. died at Mercy hospital,
in this city, Sunday morning from a
bullet wound inflicted by his, brother-in-law,
W. R. Young of Grants Pass
during a fishing trip Saturday after
noon on Rogue river, four miles west
of Merlin, Josephine county. Sears a
few hours before his death wrote let
tors to his mother and sister explain
ing that the shooting was accidental.
The two men were testing the trig
gers of revolvers which they bought
Friday, and Young's reapon. un
known to him, was loaded. With the
muzzle pointed directly at his rela
Ive, Young discharged the revolver
and the bullet entered the region of
Sears' abdomen, piercing the Intes
tines in four places. The northbound
overland train," No. 16, brought him to
this city, in company with his wife,
to whom he was married only a year
ago, and their lnfunt daughter.

Hood Sunday, lost his footing and

Just before reaching the edge of a

Indians lio Berrying.
Husiim, Wash. Numerous Indians
nre passing through town daily on
their way to the huekleberry fields
west of Trout lake. They travel
horseback and in hacks, while sev
eral cayuses follow the different par
ties to be used as pack horses when
the berries are brought back to mar
ket. The bucks and squaws as a rule
are garbed in gaily colored costumes,
docked with glittering- Deads and gau
dy ribbons.
This is the Indians' summer outing,
when races, pow-wows, dances and
games reign supreme near the huck
leberry patches for the next two
months. As many as 1500 Indians will
visit the berry fields before the sea
son Is over, most of them hailing
from tho Yakima and Cmatilla reservations.
RECORD HAY" SALE IS
) MADE AT WALLA WALLA
Walla Walla, Wash. Thirteen
hundred tons of alfalfa hay, the
pooled crops of several Gardena and
Touchet farmers, sold here for $16,
900. or $13 a ton. Two records are
broken, it being the largest hay deal
ever closed here, and the price being
the best ever had here at this time
ot the year. The pool represented
first and second crops.
The crop .for the year Is estimated
at 15,000 tons, which at the above
price will mean nearly $200,000.
Although the first crop of alfalfa
was not as large as had been expect
ed, the second cutting is making am
ple amends for the first deficit. Sel
dom has there been a heavier cutting
than that now beng taken from the
fields, and the farmers who are en
gaged In alfalfa raising feel sure of a
big crop on the last cuttings.
The first crop was much shorter
than usual, and the severe, long drawn
out winter is blamed for this. The
long cold spell seemed to stunt the
growth in nearly every field, and the
second crop came so quickly and so
profusely that the winter theory
seems the correct one.
On some of the farms in the warm
er parts of the valley the second crop
has been put in the stack, and there
I" already a good growth on the third.
If this comes along as well as the sec
ond there seems a probability of be
ing four good crops this year. All
expect the first should be heavy, and
the yield will probably prove larger
than that of last year.

Whitney's Trainer Consents to go to
Peeress' Stables.
London. Joyner, who has charge
of II. P. Whitney's horses, has con
sented to act as trainer to the stable
which Lady Suffolk has decided to set
up at Newmarket. It may be rem
embered that she is the youngest
daughter of Levi Z. Loiter, and was
married to Lord Suffolk six years ago.
Next year she Intends to become a
full-fledged racehorse owner. With
Lady do Bathe, Miss Sadller Jackson
and Lady Suffolk to the fore, British
racing will have an Interesting circle
of women to support ifs manv activ
ities. For tho last year or two iady Suf
folk has been racing somewhat spas
modically. As her horses were run
in her husband's name little was heard
of her in the racing world. But next
season will find Lady Suffolk in her
own racing colors, with a string of
horses that are expected to make rac
ing history.

Harvest Failure Hurt.
London. British merchant ship
ping is In a bad way. Hundreds of
tramp steamers are lying at various
ports, their owners being unable to
secure cargoes. The principal factor
in the general depression is th- fail
ure of the harvest In Argentina, caus
ing hundreds of largo up-to-date
tramp steamers to seek employment
elsewhere, and bring atioui a general
reduction in freight. The troubles at
the British colleries and bad trade
generally also contribute to the gen
eral dislocation of the stcamsh'p traf
fic.
The veil which covers the face cf
futurity is woven by the hand of

One of the most memorable eveits
of the latter part of the season was
the entertainment given by Mrs. Mil

noted for her cotillions. This was a
dinner party to 41 guests followed by
a concert at 41 Grosvenor Square, a
great London mansion Mrs. Graham
has rented from Lord Nunburnholme.
The rooms were beautified by an ab
undance of flowers, hydrangeas and
ramblers being conspicuous in the
scheme of floral decoration.
Mingling with the British aristo
crats were Mrs. Anthony Drexel, Mrs.
Newhouse, Mrs. Ronalds and Mrs.
