Harmon retained Monday from Mb farm In Deer Creek Vallny near Selma where be had been for week making a foil hand In the hay field for the past week. Mr. Har mon haa a large acreage in alfalfa on hia farm and the man in charge of bia faim haa been baring difficulty In ae ouring handa to help him, owing to the general aoaroily of men, and Mr. Harmon arriving while the ontting waa being done be help until the hay waa in the barn. He will have about 200 ton of well onred hay. Mr. Harmon la taking up raialng One boraea and he ia a member and secre tary of the Grant Pans Breedera Agio oiation that owna the fine Ferclieron horae, Avata, that they bought in the Beat hut year aoop after he waa im ported from Franoe. Thia fine borne had a moat auooeiwful aeaaon and will have earned about $3000 for hia own era, making hia purchase a very pro fitable investment, be having coat de livered in Grants Pasx $4200. Mr. Harmon took Avata to hia farm and he will be there for aome time, whore he has a large lot to run in so as to have ample exercise. Mr. Har mon has nine brood mares on his farm aud he expeota that they will raise colts that when four yeara old will readily aell for f-'OO to 1250 each. He has Ave colts of tnis year's foaling that show what flue breeding will da One colt la a halfbreed Peroheron and the other four are just common horse. The datua are all about the aauie aize yet the Purchernn colt ia now ono fourth iHrgur than the other colts. Mr. Iliirtnmi believes that one of the most proHtable iuduHtries In Itogue " River Valley Is tho raising of heavy draft horiea aud he ia backing liix jortguimit with a larger Investment lu brood mares aud hay and pasture lamia. He will increase the number of horses ou his Deer Creek ranch until the number is sufllciiut to feed up all the hay the farm will produce. Will Enforce Packing Rules. The Grants Pass Fruit Orowera Un ion will enforce ita rules strictly and no wormy apples will be shipped this Fall and the farmer who desires to set the highest cash price for his apples will have to thoroughly spray his treea within the next week. Tbe codlin moth is now ready to deposit its eggs on the apples tbat soon will hatch and then tbe bosy little worm will soon make an otherwise perfect apple fit only for the cull box and hog feed. Codlin moth does more damage to apples in the United States than any other pest yet it is ope of the most easily controlled pests if the orchard ists understands how to fight it and will exert himself. Perfect apples will bring a good price this fall while wormy apples will not be worth tbe picking. It will pay a farmer to care for his treis, even but a few, for they will yield' him a larger profit than he can make by selling hay or cord wood, or working by day in a mill or a mine. ' Temperance Notee. Tle State President Mrs. Additon in writing to the Union Signal, after the June election said, "More tnan one-fourth of the state has one dry. A territory from the Cascade mountaina on the east to the Pacific ooean on the west including five con tiguous counties will give us a splen did opportunity to see tbat pro hibition prohibits." A letter from Mra. A. M. Morrison of Newberg tella how our W. O. T. U. sinters of tbe White City made comfort bags for San Francisco aufferera and how gladly they were received. Mra. Augusta O.

Aa the track at that point ia shaded by trees it might not have been seen by the engineer aud caused a wreck. At tile depot here you can see boxen of poultry piled up. Some has been shipped in, but the meet of it is for shi) meot to Grauts Pass. We hold to the adage tbat it is better to ship our surplus away than to send away for our supplies. According to the population this section ships as much farm produce as any other part of the county.
