La Follette will have his work cut out for him, for he will have to maintain a three cornered contest against the republi cans and democrats. If Dawes is to be pitted for the republi cans against him. there will be some fun. as what Dawes lacks of the volubility of La Follette, he makes up in emphasis.

The grain crop will be about 60 per cent of last year. The south Charter No. 125. District No. 12 ern part of the Reserve valley has had ( far more rainfall than the north ern part. The general production in the Hood River section is fair. The early frosts damaged the pears to a considerable extent, and the apple growers state that frost rings may result in quite a little damage to the apple. Cherries are about half a crop. In gen eral there will be about the same yield as last year. The cherry crop of the Willa mette valley is large, but the price is poor. Four cents has been the highest price paid, and many have been sold for less. With one cent per pound paid for picking and with the added expense of boxing and delivery charges, the growers have not received very profitable returns. Fruit companies have heen buy ing very carefully and in small lots, and many canneries have refused the Bings and Lamberts at any price, buying only the Royal Ann stock. Kentish cher ries are about the same price as the sweet varieties. Notwithstanding the extreme ly dry season, stock in the range country is generally looking good, but the pastures are get ting very short. Stockmen are rather discouraged over the re sults of the past year and the futureprospects. Farmers are buying only abso lute necessities. The bumper crops of last year resulted in so small net profits that they have little purchase money. The far mer wage scale is very low in comparison with the trade scales —from $2 to $3 per day—and this also applies to the grain ranches. Realizing that they will be unable to get all the help needed at these prices, many of the famers ate arranging harvest schedules wherein they will ex change labor with each other and reduce hired labor to the minimum. Many of them state that what they will not be able to harvest under such arrange ments they will let go, as they will not haye the money to pay the prices asked by competent laborers.
