REASON FOR HIGHER PRICES OF 1329 WHEAT Drought and Eveeitive Raina Re- ponaiblo for Leneninf of Thia Year't Crop State Market Agent Seymour, ever in touch with agricultural and stock conditions of the country, sent out the following rtatcment regard ing conditions of the Canadian wheat crop. From it can be gathered just what may be expected in the way of higher prices for this year's wheat crop. Mr. Seymour says: "The latest news from Canada indi cates a serious condition there. A dispatch of 21st inst from Edmon ton says: "Not for twenty years have crop conditions in Canada been so serious and unpromising as they are today. The report of all the Dominion statisticians published on Saturday, showed crops for all Cana da to be but 57 per cent of normal. The price of wheat, of course, will be higher than in other years, but the farmer will have very little to sell. In consequence of the prolong ed drought and hot winds in the west, great areas of the best wheat land are parched and blackened. Hun dreds of acres sovn to wheu have been plowed in Kain has come in time to save some of the fodder crop but the outlook for grain is de cidedly serious. Ordered New Ford Coupe M. D. Ashley, section foreman at Two Springs, has ordered a new Ford coupe and the ear r now at Kramer Bros., garage. Mr. and Mrs,' Ashley 'are arranging for a motor trip and the new coupe will be th.'ir means of conveyance. Sprained Her Auk!- Whi'e Coming up the hill from Carl Pratt's residence last.

They were on a trip which will take in all the principal points of the west. Building Fox Pent John and W. II Williams ore at work on the construction of addi tional pens for their foxes.

Seven Cnea of Miea.let The last report of the state health department gives Wasco county credit for being one of the mast healthful counties in Oregon. But seven cases of communicable diseases were reported, they being measles. That number made up a total of 23 cases of such disease in the whole state. New Invoice of fishing tackle flies, spinners, leaders, and canned salmon eggs for trout fishjng, just arrived at the Maupin Drug Store. TRUCK AND COW COLLIDE Carl Spirberman Kill. Bovine Noar Hix Ranch While on his way to The Dalles from Maupin last Friday evening, Carl I). Spickerman, operator of the tnick line between the two stations, ran into a bunch of cattle near the school house opposite the John Hix ranch. One cow wai killed and the truck sustained a broken radiator and lamps. The bovine was the property of Obe Itu-sell and was running a large on the highway at the time. Many complaints have been made about hogs and cattle grazing on the various highways. Several of each have been killed and several auto temporarily put out of commission because of collision with the ani mals. Cattle running at large on public roads are a menace to life and limb and the prate.ice ihould be curb ed by keeping all stock in the home enclosures, ORECON GAINED 80 NEW FAMILIES DURING JULY More Settler Come to Oregon and Invent Better Then Quarter Million Dollar Concrete evidence of the attrac tiveness of Oregon as a place for a home is offered by the report of the state chamber of commerce, W. G. Ide, manager, for July which shows 80 new families who arrived and lo- " d rh various counties and who in vested $369,850. This also shows a advance over the corresponding month of 1928, when only 27 fami-j lies settled in Oregon. The report further show-B that the new people purchased 3658 acres of land, con trasted wkh but P21 in July, 1928. Total ar.i ai3 for the first seven months of 1'I2'. sh.'.w t7 fanner who invested $1,492,MS in all ''ni! of property in Oregon. Manager Ide stages that from all indication' the coming fall and winter month will see an unprecedented influx of families to this state, seeking loca tions and investments. A part of the great advance in number of new families and investments being made is arributed by the state chamber to the efforts of their Los Angeles of fice and the stationing of Arthur Foster to their staff in the states jift east of Oregon. Mrs. Kramer Ill Mrs. Ailene Kramer wats taken ill with what seemed to be appendicitis la' t week and for a time her condi tion appeared rather serious.

Tomatoes Econ omy Beauty TCVF.RY housewife wlw keeps up ilwith the market knows that L canned tomatoes are among the bargains of the month. For they can be bought for less than ten rents a pound canned, to say nothing of the saving of time which would be consumed in selecting, peeling and cooking fresh ones. Hurray for Youth! But does every housewife know that tomatoes have received a real endorsement from one who ought to know, as to their good influence on beauty? Edna Wallace Hopper, youthful at sixty-eight (or is it seventy?) asserts that it is the om nipresent tomato which has been largely reiponsible for her continued PRICE OF WHEAT TO III! HIGHER SAYS MARKET AGENT Drought In Grain Prcducag Statas Will Cau.e Buyer, to Pr Higher Pr,ce. What may be expected In the wheat market is clearly set forth by Chas. D. Michaels, the Chicago Tri bune's market writer, who says: "Not only are crops in the American md Canadian northwest facing the. most seriou. drought in yeara with production regarded as cut down 50 per cent and possibly more, but there is drought in Argentina, South China, Australia and the central and New England states . of 'this country, and is also spreading in Europe. It pri ents a most serious world situation as regards supplies of wheal and changes the position to the most bu P. h knevn. This means higher pr"v ultimately, with a close adjustment of world i upplies to requirements. It is expected to force foreignjr?, who !re said to have delayed buying when prices were down, to pay 50 cents, and possibly 70 cents higher, or more, be fore the end of the seosn. One new factor which ia considered aa bull ish is the attitude of the new feder al relief board in forming a $20, 000,000 co-operative corporation to handle wheat. It means the main tenance of a higher standard of price levels for wheat, which should be reflected in all agricultural com. moditics." POOR LAYERS EARLY MOLTERS Agricultural Department Gire Soma Fact. Concerning Chicken At leat once during the summer or early fall the poultry flock should be culled to get rid of the birds that are not paying for their keep. Health and vigor are of first importance in culling poultry. Hens in good lay ing condition have bright red combs that are waxy in texture. In yellow shanked breeds, the beak and shanks of the heavy layers are ordinarily pale yellow or white. The pubic bones of a goo 1 layer are thin and flexible and when the hen i3 in lay ing condition they are wide apart. The skin of a good layer is soft and pliable and of good texture and the back i3 wide and long. Another im portant point is the time of molting. Poor layers usually molt earlier than good ones. Heavy layers generally do not begin to molt before Septem ber or October. Culling not only improves the breeding quality of the flock, but if done early enough will save feeding corts and spread the marketing of surplus hens over a longer period of time. lieauty and charm. Put let her tell it as si recently did when she ap peared in a theatre as reported by "The Optimist": " T ascribe my retention of health and vigor and what I have of good looks,' she told an admiring group of friends after the show. 't toma toes. I eat vegetables of all sorts, but tomatoes lead the menu. Spinach is loveiy, too, and carrots are di!':. But tomatoes are best of all. You can eat them in any form, and they do you good. Canned ones are :u good as fresh ones, too.' " Now what more could any worn; ! want? A combination of beauti.'irr and economy. What a chance to be both virtuous and beautiful I
