INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE PRUNE TREE 8TOCK SHORT. Nurseries Unable to Supply Demands or prospective Planters. Aurora Charles J. Roth, the Canby nurseryman, was Jn Aurora thin week on business, and says there Is a re markable shortage In the supply of prune trees In the l'aciflc ConHt nur series this full. Practically every nursery In Oregon has exhausted its supply already, for the fall planting, which means that there will be no more trees on the market for a year. This Indicates a remarkably heavy planting and a great revival of inter eat in the prune industry. Mr. Roth has junt received an order for 50OO trees, but could supply only 500. The larger part of the orders seem to come from California, where the planting is the heaviest and the interest greatest. In this particular section, the great est activity in horticulture is in logan berries, there being hundreds of acres planted between here and Salem. Many apples, pears and peaches will also be put out this fall in the Fargo neighborhood. 788S AUTOS IN OREGON.

Klamath Falls -Edsco Watson, In dian agent, has purchased a steam threshing outfit for the Klamath res ervation. There are several antiauat- ed threshing outfits on the reservation now, but the progress of the Indians in agriculture calls for more modern methods and Mr. Watson is helping them in that direction. He hopes to have the outfit here in time to do much of this season's work. A third sawmill will soon be in operation on the reservation, aa the two now In una are proving insuffi cient to meet the demand. The new mm win ne located on bprague river between Yainax and the agency, and will be manned by Indians.

Independence, Oregon. Early Estimates at Hood River Cut Fifty Per Cent. Hood River Representatives of four of the apple selling agencies of Hood River valley, the Applegrowers union, Davidson JFruit company, Na tional Apple company and Hood River Apple & Storage company, met here to go over the returns from orchard lata as to the crop prospects, and have given out the following figures: neports irom zza orchards repre senting over 60 per cent of the bear ing acreage, give a careful and ac curate estimate of the Spitzenberg crop at 125,000 boxes, or a little more than one-fourth of the total crop. Of this quantity, 75,000 will be of the extra fancy grade four tier size. The bal ance of 60,000 including the four and one-half tier size will be packed as fancy and choice grades. The recent additions to the storage capacity here giving a total capacity of 600,000 boxes, will accommodate within a few thousand boxes of every apple raised In the valley thfa year, and the selling agencies have agreed among themselves not to sell any of the bpitzenberg crop until the market is good. Early estimates placed the Spitzen berg crop at 250,000 boxes, but drop pings have reduced these figures, much to the disappointment of the orchardists. Average One for Every 86 Persons- Number Increasing. Salem In Oregon, population (1910 census) 672,765, on August 1, there were 9089 registered motor vehicles, of which 7865 were automobiles, 183 delivery wsgons, 69 electric vehicles, 6 hearses, 1127 motorcycles, 56 taxi cans, ana B& trucKs. mere were 1585 licensed chauffeurs. Automo bile license fees to the amount of $40,408.60 had been collected by the secretary of state. The total number of automobiles is divided as follows among the various counties: Baker, 111; Benton, 102 Clackamas, 172; Clatsop, 92; Colum bia, 15; Coos, 135; Crook, 135; Cur ry, 2; Douglas, 166; Gilliam, 8 Grant, 19; Harney, 28; Hood River, 132; Jackson, 479; Josephine, 120; Klamath, 116; Lake, 73; Lane, 352; Lincoln, 1; Linn, 279; Malheur, 60; Marion, 559; Morrow, 12; Mult nomah, 3389; Polk, 147; Sherman, 59; Tillamook, 67; Umatilla, 238; Union, 214; Wallowa, 44; Wasco, 130; Washington, 173; Wheeler, 7; Yamhill, 239. inese ngures are according to a re port compiled by Secretary of State lien Olcott for the use of the next leg. Mature. They include the registra- tion of machines from the first of Jan uary to the first of August. It is known, according to automo one statistics, that the first six months of this year witnessed a phe nomenal increase of automobiles in the United States, which registered during that time nearly a million ma chines. The exact number of regis trations for the first six months of this year was 859,868 machines, of which 135,335 were new registrations over last year. Registration fees in this country for this period amounted to the comfortable fortune of $4,769, 873.29. Of this great number of mo tor cars in use in this country, only 31,547 are registered for commercial use. As one would suppose, New York stands at the head of the list with 92, 407 cars, which is an increase of 8,438 since January 1. California offers a surprise by showing the next largest number, due to a tremendous increase in registration since the first of the year. Its registration on July 1 stood at 79,603 cars, an increase this year of 19,401. Ohio is third with 66,000 cars. Pennsylvania fourth with 52, 257 cars, and Illinois fifth with 47,104 can. in tne united Mates the average population to each motor car is 110 persons. During the year ending July 1, 1912, the car output in this country was ZbZ,569. HOP HARVEST WELL ALONG. B. F. SWOPE Attorney at Law and Notary Public Will practico in all courts of the State.

McMinnville Clover growers in this section of the valley have received from one firm In McMinnville $27,000 in one week for part of this season's clover seed. The same firm shipped five cars of clover seed, of which four were of the Alsike variety. It is estimated that 50 carloads of clover seed will be the output of the country stretching from Forest Grove to Independence. A record yield of Alsike clover seed is that of Charles Mitchell, near Perry- dale, who harvested 11 bushels of fine quality clover seed to thejacre. Sheepmen Buy Bucks. Independence Sroythe Brothers, of Pendleton, were in Independence, Mc Coy and Corvallis for a few days buy ing up all the registered bucks they could get. They succeeded in gather ing up nearly 700 head. Hawley & Son gathered 200 head in the McCoy section. All these bucks are spring stock, having come in April, and all but 20 head are registered. They sold for about $20 -per head. These bucks are to be distributed among the big sheepraisers at Arlington, Heppner and fendleton. Half of Crop Saved About McMinn ville, Despite Rains. McMinnville Hop picking in thi .section 01 the county is progressing rapidy. A number of the smaller yards are through picking. W. J O'Dell has picked all of the E. Talbot yard, but has two other yards, an will not be through with them within a week. N. J. Peterson has completed the gathering of his hops, having fully third more than laBt year. Other yards will gain in proportion. On account of the continued rams, some mold has been reported, but nothing of a damaging nature. About a third of the grain in this county has not been threshed, and all wheat not threshed is sprouting, and will be spoiled as to its marketable quality. T. T. Kirkwood, of Hope well, states that he is feeding hi wheat in bundles to his stock, having given up all hope of getting it thresh ed. Spring oats in some localities may be saved, and can be used for feeding purposes. This year's weath er condition is the most damaging ever witnessed here, and is much more noticeable on account of the splendid yield and promising condition of the grain crop. HOG INDUSTRY GROWING. New Market Found for Rye. Aurora A new industry that is likely to bring a large income to Macksburg farmers is the growing of rye, both for the grain and straw. Through the efforts of Franz Krax berger, offers have been received from the Portland manufacturers of horse collars for large quantities of rye straw, the prepared straw being used for the filling of the collars. Prac tically all the horse collars now in use are made in this manner. Oregon Rapidly Decreasing Imports of Nebraska Swine. Portland As evidence that the hog industry is growing in Oregon, an ex portation of live hogs was made re cently from the Browndale farm, near Aurora, Or., to be used in Honolulu for breeding purposes. Another ship ment will be made from the same ranch in November. The state of Oregon has long been known as a large importer of hogs. but the last monthly report of the Port land Union Stock company shows that the ratio of importation is falling off. In August, 1911, 4468 hogs were im ported from the hog state, Nebraska, while during August, 1912, only 2332 were shipped in. Officials say that just as many hoga are used, but that gradually more and more of the supply is coming from within the state and from other Northwest points. Columbia County Crops Hurt. Scappoose The steady downpour of rain has caused heavy losses to the farmers in hay, grain and fruits. A number of dairymen who own low land have not been able to cut any of their hay this year, as the high water kept the hay back until late and it was just ready to cut when the rain began. Oats have been hurt as to quality, for 1 mourn nas taken a big start in some fields. Prunes are reported in bad shape, having split from the excessive rain, and a large per cent of those that fell during the rain have rotted. a JOHN DEERE SPREADER The Spreader with the Beater on the Axle The Simplest Spreader Made . E3 3 r 1 Entirely New Nothing Else Like It TIIE JOIIN DEERE SPREADER The Spreader with the Beater on the Axle is as much of an improve- 8 ment in spreader manufacturing as the self-binder was over the old reaper.
