Mr. Cameron states that during the early part of the summer, when the berries should have ripened, his cow got loose and made a meal off the bushes.

The quality of hops that were produced in Oregon this year has been excellent. The greater part of the crop has been shipped awav and it is estimated that only about 10,000 bales still remain in the state. "A quantity was recently sold in Marion county and the price paid was 11 cents. There are still some fine hops in the state and they will bring top prices, but owing to the demand for hops be ing pretty weft supplied, it is prob able that no fancy prices will be-l paid for the greater part of what remains.

If the boys from Monmouth itch for the glory of a contest with the first team from O A C. they should be accommodated. May Finish Tpday.
